真夏の太陽 (Manatsu no taiyou) – Midsummer sun

from Manatsu no taiyou single + V album.

——

The morning sun is so dazzling
It made me want to go see you right away
I can’t find the right words, but
The summer sky is waiting for us

We need to hurry
This year’s summer
May be short? Long? Super short???
Nobody knows

Midsummer sun
Together with my beloved you
Let’s go search for it
Our romance
Has just begun

Bright white sun
Together with my precious you
I want to chase after it
Our summer
Is surely there, always there
Right there

The encroaching waves are such a tease
Making the memories we created disappear in an instant
Along the horizon where the sky and sea meet
Our blues mix and melt

Don’t be impatient
The real summer
Is not here yet! Starts from now! Surely from now!!!
Let’s keep the spirit up like this

Midsummer sun
Together with my beloved you
Let’s dash out
Our romance
Has just begun

Bright white sun
Together with my precious you
I want to reaffirm it
Our summer
Is surely there, always there
Right there

Midsummer sun
Together with my beloved you
Let’s go search for it
Our romance
Has just begun

Bright white sun
Together with my precious you
I want to chase after it
Our summer
Is surely there, always there, right there
What’s precious
Is formless, but exists
In our hearts

ステップ (Suteppu) – Step

from Daisuki single.

——

I’ve never possessed overflowing confidence, but
I want to touch everything with my own hands

I want to believe in first impulses, feel my heart race
Everyday is a concert, it won’t end with moderation

Face screwed up with sadness, a shy smile
It doesn’t matter, I have my usual comrades

That small step of yours
Will make someone dance
So, so, now’s not the time
To give up yet

This small step of mine
Is connected to you
Look, look, once again today
I’ll remember this certain step with you

Just chasing after the light before our eyes
The ambiguous field of vision isn’t all sunny, but

Blundering, stumbling, we rise again every time
I want us to become blood relatives

Leaving a matter to chance, or thinking it over thoroughly
I’ll walk on at a pace I’ve decided

That small step of yours
Even if it hurts someone
But, but, someday again
A day of smiles will come

This small step of mine
Can I dance with you?
So, so, once again today
I’ll take this certain step alone

I want to dance with you someday
With this awkward step now

トレモロレイン (Toremoro rein) – Tremolo rain

from Daisuki single + V album.

——

I’ll walk towards tomorrow alone, Rainy day
Can’t go back to the yesterday we spent together

Raindrops on cherry blossom nails

Tip Tip Tap
Bouncing tremolo rain
A merry season’s refrain
Proof that I’ve loved with all my heart
Shone on my cheeks
This gentle rainy day
Makes me recall your warmth
Gazing at our separate sceneries
I’ll become even stronger

I’ve received happiness from you, but
How happy did I make you?

Regret from not asking

Tip Tip Tap
Jumping tremolo rain
Pain soaked in sorrow
Changing the previous sigh into a hum
Goodbye flies out
A single overflowing chord
With an accent that’s all my own
So that you’ll regret this
I’ll polish my future self

Blue sky above the clouds

Tip Tip Tap
Tip Tip Tap
Bouncing tremolo rain
A merry season’s refrain
Days when we fought
Days when we kissed
Were all love’s echo
When the melody descending from the clouds
Embraces my heart’s pain
Like the drops shining with light
I’ll overcome yesterday’s tears
Embrace the overlapping time
And make today’s smile shine

大好き (Daisuki) – I love you

from Daisuki single + V album.

——

Unable to say “I love you”
But I still want to deliver
my love forever

Text messages link and unlink us again today
I always feel defeated by this frustrating distance

Can’t genuinely convey “sorry” over the phone
But words like “see you”
Don’t want to say them more, this is fine
I mean, you are

Unable to say “I love you”
The only thing I can’t say
But I’m glad we’ve met
I want to treasure how we think alike
For my beloved you
my love forever

Suddenly, I received a scabbed over heart from you
Proof of the pain when we fought that summer

While I want you to chase after your dreams
I also really want us to be together
I want to cry, but I’ll show you a smile
I mean, you are

Unable to say “I love you”
How lonely were we?
But I can say it now
Let’s share our tears and smiles
My beloved you
I’m in love with you

Amidst the changing seasons, we hold hands and walk

“I love you”, I really do
A map of the future I’ve created with us
Someday, let’s say it together
“I’m glad to have lived”

Unable to say “I love you”
The only thing I can’t say
But I’m glad we’ve met
I want to treasure how we think alike
For my beloved you
my love forever
