右にしてるリング (Migi ni shiteru ringu) – Ring on the right

from Rashikunai single.

——

“What’s happened to you since then?”
You casually asked that of me
And I got a sense of how much time had passed

“You didn’t even call me”
You laughed
As you threw a punch at me
In such a nostalgic way

I’d thought that you wouldn’t
Attend the class reunion
But to see you in the restaurant
I was honestly irritated
(More importantly)

Not on your left hand
But a ring on your right
Why am I so interested
In what’s on your ring finger?
That day, this romance ended
And we went our separate ways
So I should be free
No matter who we got together with
It shouldn’t matter
For either of us, but…

“What are you doing now?”
I just want this party to end so I can go home
And drink some tea

“Sorry, I can’t make it today”
That was what you said
It just made me wonder if that meant
You would be free the next day

You had cut your hair, and looking at you
I once again thought
That you’d become so pretty
And a gloomy feeling came
(More importantly)

Not on your left hand
But a ring on your right
Why am I so interested
In what’s on your ring finger?
That day, this romance ended
And we went our separate ways
So I should be free
No matter who we got together with
It shouldn’t matter
For either of us, but…

Not on your left hand
But a ring on your right
It’s just a ring finger
It shouldn’t mean anything
But I’m interested in knowing
Is it because I still love you now?
At the bottom of my heart
As if blown by the wind
Days from long ago
Start to make noise

休戦協定 (Kyuusen kyoutei) – Ceasefire agreement

from Rashikunai single.

——

Get back! Get back! Get back!
Hey, get back

How much longer are you planning to act tough?
I know everything about you
Are we alright already?

From the (from the)
Trivial things (trivial things)
The night we first quarreled
My (my)
Most precious (most precious)
Guitar, you smashed it as you left

At that, I flew into a rage
Turning up the volume of the TV I wasn’t watching
Ignoring the revving of the car engine
There are as many women as there are stars
So do whatever you like!

From then on, I continued living alone
The narrow room seemed wider
Even I felt that something was missing
How much longer are you planning to act tough?
I know everything about you
Are we alright already?

The two of us (the two of us)
Frequented (frequented)
The used clothes store near the highway
Unable to even (unable to even)
Choose a shirt (choose a shirt)
I left the store, having bought nothing

I’m free, but somehow not enjoying it
Even though there’s nothing irritating me
I’m free to mess up my room
And when I pick up girls
I don’t need to lie

I can just get the broken guitar mended
But I can’t stopper up the hole in my heart
It’s too lonely without you
I call you, but someone calls out to you
Where are you, who are you with?
I’m somehow feeling jealous

Get back! Get back! Get back!
Hey, get back

Youth is ignorance and recklessness
Unable to control my own feelings
No boundary between reality and appearance
You’re the only one in this world
Noone can replace you

From then on, I continued living alone
The narrow room seemed wider
Even I felt that something was missing
You should be thinking of it now too
Surely, now is the right timing
For our ceasefire agreement

Are we alright already?
Are we alright already?

Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back!
Get back! Get back! Get back!
Hey, get back

友達 (Tomodachi) – Friend

from Rashikunai single.

——

I used to think that you were somehow like me
Yes, when I first met you
I saw how shy of strangers you were
That awkwardness was just like me

Slowly, little by little, we exchanged words
And our hearts faced each other
Watching the same sky, and somehow or other
We got to know each other really well

Just seeing your expression
Delivers your thoughts to my heart
I’m not the only one suffering
And that calmed me

I can walk on with you
Yes, no matter how long the road may be
I can walk on as my real self
Don’t grow any taller
Let’s stay as we are
Both of us unchanging
Let’s stay as we are

Somehow, we just understood each other so much
That we forestalled the other, quarreling
Even the pain of fighting
We still shared it in the end

Because you couldn’t cry in front of others
You always smiled
The things hidden in your heart
I have them somewhere too

I can dream with you
If a sad rain falls upon us
Then we’ll get soaked as ourselves
Without decoration
Let’s believe
In our future
Let’s believe

I can walk on with you
Yes, no matter how long the road may be
I can walk on as my real self
Don’t grow any taller
Let’s stay as we are

Because it’s you, we can walk together
No matter what may be waiting for us
Because we cry the same tears
I’m not alone
I can be strong
You know that well
You’re just like me

らしくない (Rashikunai) – Not like me

from Rashikunai single.

——

I want to see you
Can’t even stand here, be here
I dashed out of the house
To the weekend city
The centre of the car’s horn
In response to these
Earnestly overflowing emotions
I just wanted to hit it

For me to be
So obsessed with you, it’s crazy
Some (screw) is loose (somewhere)
Heart’s accident

(1!2!3!4!)
Not like not like (not like) me (me)
I’m not my usual self
Losing my calm, I can’t control it
Is this (is this) romance? (romance?)
Just thinking of you
Makes these passionate dopamine
Dash through my body
Just let me
Scream your name! Yeah!

When I find you
What kind of things should I say?
Just seeing you
Will surely make me frozen
In the gaps of the crowd and noise
Just being able
To meet with the one I love
Is happiness

Wiping away my sweat
And panting hard, satisfied
The refreshing (wind) blows at (me)
Filling up my heart

(1!2!3!4!)
Not like not like (not like) me (me)
More important than the answer
I don’t remember when I started running with all my might
This is (this is) romance (romance)
Feelings from an innocent me
Unable to hold you in my arms
I can definitely feel it now
Just let me
Scream silently! Yeah!

(1!2!3!4!)
Not like not like (not like) me (me)
I’m not my usual self
Losing my calm, I can’t control it
Is this (is this) romance? (romance?)
Just thinking of you
Makes these passionate dopamine
Dash through my body
Just let me
Scream your name! Yeah!
