The painting drawn in my own color always seemed to lack something
But once you shared your color with me, it changed beyond recognition

You said that you hated your own voice, even though I thought it wonderful
Then try singing together with me, maybe we can create an unknown song

Because the world next door is too dazzling
I felt envy and jealousy, wanting to get away from them, but

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
We were definitely not born to be alone
“That’s just me” is like a cage, spread your wings, leave it behind
Become your true self

Resting my chin in my hand
Adding milk to my tea
Stirring it up with a spoon in this aqua afternoon
Finally, you arrive, we smile and finish our drinks
I totally forget all my troubles
When a lonesome someone meets a lonesome someone
We blur and form a rainbow

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
Adventure is like a prank, tickling out overflowing cheers

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
We were definitely not born to be alone
There’s not much white space left on the canvas, but I don’t care
I’ll paint it over with brilliant colors

マジ感謝 (Maji kansha) – Truly grateful

from Shuto iten keikaku single.

——

Chatting with everyone after class, we laughed at silly stories
The promise we made together dispelled my doubts, I’m truly grateful

The reality of growing up, the premonition strikes home
Occasionally making mistakes, messing up, but I won’t forget, forever truly grateful

(Why the dark face? Don’t be depressed, just look forward)
Truly grateful for your existence
(Why the dark face? Don’t be depressed, just look forward)
No matter how far apart we are, I’m always thinking of you
Please listen to my wish

Don’t be so strong, it’ll feel lonely, rely on me
Again, again, and again, I call out for you
I remember you crying, the words spoken then
So glad to have met you, really
Truly grateful

That store we frequented on our way home, how your nose scrunches up when you laugh
Let’s all go on a trip together, so insistent, truly grateful

Our opinions differed on countless things, even as we shared the same experiences
We can talk about anything, this bond remains unbreakable, grateful again

(In this somehow different city, we meet new friends)
Truly grateful to those who support me
(In this somehow different city, we meet new friends)
Progressing without looking back, meetings and separations repeating
We’ve grown up

Anxiety and anticipation in the ratio of 9:1
Again, again, and again, you encourage me
Thank you from my heart, these emotions can’t be told
I’ll surely deliver them, so wait for me

No matter how many “thank you”s I say
It’ll never be enough
Gratitude overflowing from my heart

Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly truly truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly truly grateful, truly grateful

Truly grateful, grateful again, more more, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly truly truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
In a loud voice, truly truly grateful, thank you
