君とオートバイ (Kimi to ootobai) – You and the bike

from honeycreeper album.

——

Tu Tu Tu Lu Tu Tu Tu Tu Lu Lu ～

Baby, let’s ride the bike on a journey
Our destination is the end of this world
During the journey, let’s go to a river
And fish, it’s ok even if we don’t catch anything

Only one sleeping bag, but let’s get in together
I don’t care if wolves come
Let’s tend the bonfire carefully
It’ll be sad if we cause a forest fire

You and the bike, always the two of us alone

Tu Tu Tu Lu Tu Tu Tu Tu Lu Lu ～

Baby, let’s ride the bike on a journey
Our destination is the end of the universe
The road continues to that horizon
And its other side, over the ocean

Let’s watch the starry sky at night
With a little chocolate in our coffee
Rain is fun too, the sound of raindrops
With lotus leaves as umbrellas, let’s go home

You and the bike, always the two of us alone

Tu Tu Tu Lu Tu Tu Tu Tu Lu Lu ～

On the long-awaited Saturday, I asked you out for a movie
After 2 replies from you, we held hands and walked through the city

In the wide sunny sky, large thunderclouds gathered
It always ends up like this, but we went through the days unaffected

And so bye bye, again, bye bye
Can’t come back even if I repeat it, the hands that won’t let go no matter how I want to

Even without you here, I’m still living on fine
Even as I say that, the tears come forth

The one that you’ve picked must be a really gentle person
No matter how far you go, yes, just be well

This cool room, I wonder if you’re inside
But unlocking the door, reality gently turns on the light

What is “love”? I don’t understand
If I did, I won’t be troubled. I would have let go

The fact that your side profile is so lovely
I plan to forget that, but the tears come forth

The one that you’ve picked must be a really gentle person
No matter how far you go, yes, just be well

On this train platform I hardly visit, I boarded the train nonchalantly
The moment the doors closed, I spotted you on the other side of the window

Your side profile now belongs to someone else
Watching the you I left, I held back my tears

The one beside you is just as I’ve imagined
I pray in my heart for you to be happy

晴れ女 (Hare Onna) – Sunny Girls

from Bring It! album.

—–

“Hey, shall we go watch the sea now? I can’t sleep, shall we go for a drive?
It’s raining right now, but I’ll come pick you up”
“Oh, wow. I was just thinking about the same thing as you
I’ll just get myself ready, so come quick!”

Let’s buy some warm milk tea on the way
It’s raining, but the sea is waiting

Rain Rain Hard Rain What do you want?!
Rain Rain Hard Rain Don’t be a nuisance!
Rain Rain Hard Rain If you still want to rain
Please wash away this mysterious impatience

“How is it? These heels are cute, aren’t they?
It’s just right for a party
Thinking that, I just bought it, even though I dislike parties…”
“By the way, have I locked the door? Closed the living room windows?
If not, the cat would be drowning in the room by now…”

Is this path the right one? Or was it the other one?
Let’s run slowly, the sea won’t run away

No make-up is fine too! You’re not wearing a girdle too!
The two of us are invincible, shall we fly?

Rain Rain Hard Rain So this is the right path!
Rain Rain Hard Rain The GPS was useless!
Rain Rain Hard Rain Don’t keep pouring down!
My mysterious impatience will outstrip you

Rain Rain Hard Rain The sea is around the next bend
Rain Rain Hard Rain Please stop raining soon
Rain Rain Hard Rain We’re truly Sunny Girls
The sun is shining bright over the horizon

欲望 (Yokubou) – Desire

from Thank You album.

—–

Throwing away things which I don’t need
Getting used to feelings of loneliness
Tears trailing down the right cheek
In the midst of the gorgeous playing rhythm

The impulse to run away has broken through
The unbearable situation, I was simply struggling

What can I see? With freedom in hand
I’m not left alone in this world
Past, present, future, love. Humans desire wonderful days

If I can, I’ll blend the future into that night
When I opened the unknown door

The impulse to run off makes me dizzy
Just like a persecution complex, I was simply running out of patience

What can I see? I want to confirm
That this is not just a random world
My hand, the sky, the universe. Humans are sad
As they gaze on intently

I thought of you, how you despised
This distorted city, sighing and criticizing it
The clouds high above were dyed a faint red

What can I do? For you
I can live in a helpless world
Like how the moon shines down on my path, just something

What can I see? With freedom in hand
I’m not left alone in this world
Past, present, future, love. Humans desire wonderful days
We strive, give up, then desire again

フィッシュ．オン (Fisshu On) – Fish On

from Thank You album.

—–

Roar, get worked up, stir up the sky noisily
Strum out runaway delusions with a JAGAJAAN
Soar, fly out, if we go even higher
Even scattered worries have to crouch down for a moment

A new world, floating splash, emotions reach an extreme here
If you’re lost, can’t hear, gather free information with neglect

Unravel the entanglements, don’t say “I don’t know”
Instinct alone won’t be enough, I gotcha, yes
Get mixed up with “I love you”, go wild with your everything
Dazzled only by your face, totally attached

Roar, get worked up, stir up the sky noisily
Strum out tar-gui lo-so with a JAGAJAAN
Soar, fly out, if we go even higher
Even scattered worries have to crouch down for a moment

Give an all-knowing look, and one day, like that explorer
You’ll steadily progress, catching even the Ito fish, yeah
Stick out your tongue cheekily, just set things straight
If it starts to rain polka dots, move to zero

Roar, get worked up, stir up the sky noisily
Strum out runaway delusions with a JAGAJAAN
Soar, fly out, if we go even higher
Even scattered worries have to crouch down for a moment

Misa’s notes
1) “tar-gui lo-so” comes from “ターギーのローソー” which is an inversion of “ギーターのソーロー” or “guitar solo”.
2) The Ito fish is also known as the Japanese huchen or Hucho perryi.

Hoshi Gaaru (ほしガール) – Star Girl

from Thank you album.

—–

Scrambling around everyday, curiously high-spirited
It just got this way somehow, how should I handle this development?

Running along the trackless path to the start. Oh No! What happened?

Plain and simple, I fell in love
I just can’t be a good girl anymore
So boring, can’t get enough, I want to know more and more
I’m a girl, but I won’t cry. So be prepared

Endless delusions and a slightly unexpected guy
I didn’t blow my fuse, just suddenly found my romantic interest

Spreading my arms and flying to the goal. Just when will I reach?

In all simplicity, that is all its worth
Not stubborn, can’t throw a fanfare
Just notice that I’m the only one solving all the hard problems
I’m a girl, but must I put up pretenses like this too?

Marguerites swaying in the breeze won’t stop for anyone’s eyes
I don’t want the seasons to go on changing
Tell me how to love, gently

Plain and simple, I fell in love
I just can’t be a good girl anymore
So boring, can’t get enough, I want to know more and more
I’m a girl, but I won’t cry. So be prepared

Jetto Rabu (ジェットラブ) – Jet Love

from R.G.W. single + Thank you album.

—–

Can’t see tomorrow if I stop
Though running doesn’t mean I’ll reach the end
But I still push on forward

Answers are absent-minded even if spoken out
I just want a little romance
If lies are handy, I’ll say them

Caring only about being cool, but I’m really just petit bourgeois
When I want to see you, please don’t come. I’m leading this selfish life

Be gentle, be cold, just show it all off
To love or be loved, which one is happiness?
I was defeated when we met, I can’t help but fall for you
That’s one thing, this is this. You are fine as you are

Even during an earthquake, I’m lost in the world of manga
Even when I’m troubled, I can’t talk about it
This is just my silly way of doing things

Hold my hand gently but tightly, don’t put on airs and tease me
You know how shy I am, so I want you to say “I love you”

Be gentle, be cold, just show it all off
To love or be loved, which one is happiness?
It’s definitely our fate to create the future together
That’s one thing, this is this. I like how you are almost there

Mai Kantorii Roodo (マイカントリーロード) – My Country Road

from Thank you album.

—–

Even now, the beach is still bright white sand, I need a parasol
The wind blowing, the trees swaying, my glasses are flying off
The road along the coast is the same

The abandoned house with frightening ghosts is no longer there, replaced by a store
The harp playing, my heart is restless, I set out alone
The road along the coast is my story

OK, let’s go. I wonder in which direction. That vast ocean is watching over me
OK, let’s go. I wonder what I’ll do. Watching this carefree me

The road along the coast, at the end of the road

OK, let’s go. I wonder in which direction. Watching over that vast ocean
OK, let’s cry. I wonder if it will improve my mood. Still watching this carefree me
OK, come along. Taking your small defenseless hand in mine, I’ll bring you along
They’re waiting for us

Ai no Odessei (愛のオデッセイ) – Love Odyssey

From Thank You album.

—–

Hijacking the moon, cutting through the night, a message for the darkness
Replies are easy, orders are fuzzy, go against them

Yes! Now!

Making merry, becoming a part, it’s a lonely night afterall
No trust in anyone, but wishing to trust, shout out courtship

Appearances, mistakes, power, jeers
Regrets, worries, can’t sleep

This is the universe, day and night, double value, careful the elbow
Not looking at the past, there’s nobody, delirium for you

Baring fangs, image OK, cowardly monster
Showing off only scary things, don’t cry if you lose

Youth, plunder, lies, contradiction
Talent, values, don’t match up

That is the universe, come on everyone, see you adieu, wonderful story
Give the finishing blow, predict the future, alcohol for you

Life, pleasure, cheers, anticipation
Bye bye, sayonara, to this world

This is the universe, day and night, double value, careful the elbow
Not looking at the past, there’s nobody, delirium for you

That is the universe, come on everyone, see you adieu, wonderful story
Give the finishing blow, predict the future, alcohol for you

Wake up! Say it, music, let these feelings reach out
Make up! The lively melody, about my wish to see you

Wake, wake up, if I do so
I can’t ever go back to yesterday
Morning, this morning, the world has been grey till now
But in an instant, it’s become a colourful picture
WEGA WEGA but it won’t come back
Slow meeting, miraculous resolution
Hands, our hands will touch soon
Afraid of hurt Get up Stand up!

Slowly, you took over my entire heart
Gazing at your incoming message, we loved here

First-quality love, the best defense, but I can’t hide my jealousy
I want to complain, to show you everything, to show even the worst and the best now

Wake up! Say it, music, let these feelings reach out, this swimming love
Make up! The lively melody, about my wish to see you Keep on dancin’

Slowly deeper and deeper
Gradually closer and closer

A dress as purple as the forget-me-not
Searchlight, deep breath, I’m right here

Love is JOYJOY, but often neverending, like a spiral staircase
Guilt and punishment and love and truth, they are not simple nor innocent even now

Wake up! Say it, music, let these feelings reach out, this swimming love
Make up! The lively melody, about my wish to see you Keep on dancin’

Knock it out, rising, sorrowful provocative ambiguous love, inexplicable, don’t want it
Brush up! You’ll be seen through with that teary face, illuminate the masquerade

Full out, let’s go party
I’m already in S.American dandy mode
Pack up, let’s go eat
What? What? I’m a big bro, big bro
It’s ok if you don’t get it
A different genre, making the beat
Fated perfect timing
Here we go Keep on
Here we go Keep on

Wake up! Say it, music, let these feelings reach out, this swimming love
Make up! The lively melody, about my wish to see you Keep on dancin’

Knock it out, rising, sorrowful provocative ambiguous love, inexplicable, don’t want it
Brush up! You’ll be seen through with that teary face, illuminate the masquerade

Slowly deeper and deeper
Gradually closer and closer
