from AKANE / Awa awa single.

Gently flowing, swallowed by time
Remade countless times for convenience

Crushed emotions of this distorted world
Covered over by countless colors for convenience

I peeked
And I noticed
Reflected in your eyes

Kaleidoscope
As if seeing illusions
Kaleidoscope
Sipping on sweet honey
Fluttering about like a graceful butterfly
Continuing to not take notice
Pretending to be stupid

Dyed in bright colors, dancing elegantly
If I don’t do that, you won’t look at me

I peeked
And I noticed
Reflected in your eyes

Kaleidoscope
As if seeing illusions
Kaleidoscope
Sipping on sweet honey
Fluttering about like a graceful butterfly
Can I continue not to take notice?
Pretending to be stupid

Hello Hello Hello
I want to be seen

Wander wander wander
Where do I belong?

Hollow Hollow Hollow
In this world

Hello Hello Hello
I live on

Kaleidoscope
As if seeing illusions
Kaleidoscope
Sipping on sweet honey
Fluttering about like a graceful butterfly
To fly in the direction I want
Don’t deceive me anymore

あわあわ (Awa awa) – Bubbling

from AKANE / Awa awa single.

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Bubble Magic
Solving the mystery
And the answer surfaces

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Playing Music
This and that too
I feel like I can do it all

How about you?
Playing Music
Bubble Magic

Riding on the soft wind
Why do we fly?
It’s incomprehensible

A swaying reflection of me
Why am I crying?
It’s incomprehensible

Nothing but bad things
Not that!
Not this!
But we can’t just look down!
Let’s swallow our sighs and go

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Bubble Magic
Solving the mystery
And the answer surfaces

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Playing Music
This and that too
I feel like I can do it all

How about you?
Playing Music
Bubble Magic

The fragrance of the waving flowers
Why do they bloom?
It’s incomprehensible

Counting the twinkling stars
Why do they shine?
It’s incomprehensible

Curiosity overflowing
What’s that?
And this?
Come, the world is full of mystery!
Let’s go while singing the flower’s song

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Bubble Magic
Solving the mystery
And the answer surfaces

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Playing Music
This and that too
I feel like I can do it all

How about you?
Playing Music
Bubble Magic

Don’t panic, just laugh it off
Bubbles will wash away your tears
I need to find a new me
Bubbling more without stop

A flare sparkles
Swallow a sigh, let out a breath
Chasing those sweet dreams I had
The sky I looked up at reflects rainbows

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Bubble Magic
Tears disappear
And a smile surfaces

Bubbling bubbling bubbling
Playing Music
Anything and everything
I feel like it can all come true

Want to deliver
Playing Music
Bubble Magic

茜 (AKANE) – Scarlet

from AKANE / Awa awa single.

——

What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’
Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

Two shadows stretching towards the scarlet sky
I gently let go of our clasped hands

The taller I grew
The less we had to talk about
Each day we passed each other by
Neither in your face, growing more wrinkled
Nor in your gaze
Could I notice anything

Reaching to that day’s memories, I remember
You were an unchanging, gentle light
No matter what happened, you always protected me
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

Your kindness became a burden
But it was embarrassing, so I didn’t say it
Awkwardly, I rewind the time that had passed
Before I knew it, I became an adult
All the while averting my eyes
Now, I gather the pieces hidden in my heart
Let’s watch it together again, the scarlet sky

The path we walked on with matching paces
The setting sun reminded me of the warmth of your hand

What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’
Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

スローモーニング (Suroo mooningu) – Slow morning

from S album.

——

Surrounded by your ingrained fragrance
I quietly shut my eyes one more time

The light shining in through the gap between the curtains
Is annoying, as if mimicking you

Your easygoing sleep habits
And grumbling voice
That noone knows
All so precious

Fallin’ Fallin’
Totally nothing special
Such a morning is just so joyful
I somehow felt a little afraid
Fallin’ Fallin’
“I need to get up”, as you got out of bed
But I stop you with “10 more seconds”
I said
As we embraced the slow morning

A chilly floor
Two tea cups lined up
Feeling the warmth, my body woke up

Your careless yawns
That noone knows
Your whining voice
That only I know
All so precious

Fallin’ Fallin’
Even such a happy time
Will disappear someday
I somehow felt a little afraid
Fallin’ Fallin’
I go back to sleep again
Whispering “I love you”
Into your ear
As we embraced the slow morning

Like falling melting
Sweet sweet sugar
So as not to upset
Our balance
Slowly, slowly
A good morning kiss

slow morning
If only we can continue like this forever
A world surrounding us
Fallin’ Fallin’
The bed warmed by our heat left with our impressions
A flowing
slow morning

Fallin’ Fallin’
Totally nothing special
Such normalcy is just so joyful
I somehow felt a little afraid
Fallin’ Fallin’
“I need to go”, as you got out of bed
But I stop you with “10 more seconds”
I said, and tightly
Just a little more selfishness
As we embraced the slow morning

Let’s go to that cafe (Walking together)
Rainbow after rain (Making merry together)
Always like this (Smiling together)
It’s the only thing (I can think about)

You show me chance, and my love grows stronger
Taking a step now

Giving your heart a Push
Letting romance Rush
Crush the negative feelings
Another Push
Letting romance Dash
Overflowing feelings Flash
We’ll surely be together tomorrow, when even the usual morning shines

Let’s go to that cafe too (Walking together)
Dream kingdom’s rainbow (Making merry together)
Through everthing (Smiling together)
You’re the only one (I can think about)

Every time we meet, it turns into love
Taking a step now

Giving your heart a Push
Letting love Rush
Brush the positive feelings
Another Push
Letting love Dash
Unstoppable feelings Flash
We’ll surely be together tomorrow, when even the usual moon glitters

Always looking at you
So just cry when you want to
You’re also there right beside my dreams
So let’s look up and sing

Giving your heart a Push
Letting romance Rush
Crush the negative feelings
Another Push
Letting romance Dash
Overflowing feelings Flash

Giving your heart a Push
Letting love Rush
Brush the positive feelings
Another Push
Letting love Dash
Unstoppable feelings Flash
We’ll surely be together tomorrow, even when the usual days shine

nukumori – Warmth

from S album.

——

Love me more, more
Fill me up more, more
I want to feel more, more warmth
Love that crumbles at the slightest touch
I want true love

The girl whispered
“Like this paper airplane
Crumpled under a tight grip”
Without a destination, going in all directions
Just one that has flown and reached here

I’ll smile again and again
I’ll forgive again and again
I’ve waited for your return again and again, but
I’m really so lonely
It really hurts, but
I pretended to be fine, but

I want to be loved more, more
I want to be filled up more, more
I want you to look at me only, more, more
Love that crumbles at the slightest touch
I don’t want that anymore

The girl looked down
Like this blue cichlid
Swimming unsteadily in the water tank
It can’t survive anywhere else, but
It looks at the world outside and compares
Like me

I’ll smile again and again
I’ll forgive again and again
I’ve wiped away tears again and again, but
I’m really so lonely
It really hurts, but
I pretended to be fine, but

I want to be loved more, more
I want to be filled up more, more
I want you to look at me only, more, more
Love that crumbles at the slightest touch
I don’t want that anymore

No matter where I search
I can’t find a “love” that gives me peace
I don’t want anything else
Just that will do, but
Why am I always
Buried in loneliness?
I don’t want this, I just want to feel it a little
Your warmth

Love me more, more
Fill me up more, more
I want to feel more, more warmth

I want to be loved more, more
I want to be filled up more, more
I want you to look at me only, more, more

Worn out “love”
Broken “love”
I know I’m not No.1, so I’ll wait
Love that doesn’t crumble even when I hold it tight
Hey, is that too much to ask?

I want true love
I don’t want this anymore
No more

レイラ (Reira) – Leila

from S album.

——

Deviating from the usual by changing hair colors and such
I create “myself” in this way
Even if others see, even if others don’t see
My “self”‘s worth is constantly being compared

Just who can see the real “me”?

To constantly be perfect
Is impossible
Make me cry, make me smile
Look closely at the real “me”
“Beauty is what’s found within”
I don’t believe that
I mean, if that’s the case
Who would want “me”?

Following the safe path, blending in with others
Smiling unabashedly without feeling it
Being able to put on a front
My “self”‘s worth has gotten lost

Just who can see the real “me”?

To constantly be fair
Is impossible
Make me cry, make me smile
Look closely at the real “me”
“Beauty is what’s found within”
I don’t understand that
Why would you want
A “me” like that?

I want to start over again
I’d rather accept my weakness
You won’t leave me alone, right?
Will it be easier to abandon my pride?

I’ve realized that this is my true “self”
Just who can see this real “me”?

To constantly be perfect
Is impossible
Make me cry, make me smile
Look closely at the real “me”
“Beauty is what’s found within”
I don’t believe that
I mean, if that’s the case
Who would want “me”?

吉田さん (Yoshida-san) – Miss Yoshida

from S album.

——

I’ve received an invitation after so long
To attend a class reunion
I’m usually really awkward
With these kinds of gatherings
No, wait, I’m already an adult
I should just make a casual appearance
And just sit with the college girls
Or so I thought

And then, I quickly dashed to the book store
Grabbing a book without doubt, anan anan
The Best 3 rules of a successful woman
Not knowing that the worst situation awaited me

There she was, too perfect
While I’m caught in a prolonged unlucky job
Unable to speak about it
I want to go home, I want to go home
There she was, too perfect
Heels, curled hair, PRADA CHANEL
In contrast, me in sneakers and a rucksack
Too wretched, I just want to go home

Seeing everyone again after so long
Even the popular guy was here
The mood was just so rousing
And everyone was having fun
No, wait, we’re already adults, but
How did everyone change so much?
The girls around me were so dazzling
It’s so hard to breathe

And then, I quickly dashed to the bathroom
In order to check my puckered lips, nonno-nonno
That’s one of the Best 3 rules of a popular girl
With that set, I should be able to get through this

There she was, too perfect
Dividing up the salad with practiced movements
I divided mine as well, but
I want to go home, I want to go home
There she was, too perfect
Blogging, Instagraming, LINE-ing, and more
In contrast, me eating fries in the corner
I just want to go home

1. Moe girl with bouncy fluffy hair

2. Trendy girl with latest fashion

3. Erotic girl with a sultry gaze

There I was, too miserable
Without anything of value

There she was, too perfect
While I’m caught in a prolonged unlucky job
Unable to speak about it
I want to go home, I want to go home
There she was, too perfect
Heels, curled hair, PRADA CHANEL
In contrast, me in sneakers and a rucksack
Too wretched, I just want to go home

Let me recharge
I’m near my limit
I’m going to run out of battery
Hurry, before that happens

Be kind only to me
But push me aside sometimes
There’s no manual that says
You can’t tell me “I love you” too much

Gazing upon romance’s progress
With a calm glance
Even so, I want a passionate love

Repaint me with your colors
I say “no, no” but it’s out of love
Straight upon your gaze
Scan scan scan
Erase the past without hesitation
Continuing to send out “love you, love you”
Up, up goes the percentage for you
Love install

Let me recharge
It’s soon my limit
If I run out of battery
It’s game over

Answer me immediately
But pretend to have read my messages
Can’t escape from this
Tactical maze

Gazing upon romance’s progress
With a calm glance
Even so, I don’t want a lukewarm love

Repaint me with your colors
I say “no, no” but it’s out of love
Right upon your sweet voice
Scan scan scan
Erase the past without hesitation
Let me say “love you, love you”
Up, up goes the percentage for you
Love install

My shut down heart
Is heaving, tinged with fever
The percentage has
Already turned around

Repaint me with your colors
I say “no, no” but it’s out of love
All of your gaze
Scan scan scan
Erase the past without hesitation
I’ll let you say “love you, love you”
I’ve saved you, can’t look away
Love install

That moment when I fell into a dream and am filled
You stretch out a hand, so I’m not swept away by the nightmare

Switch, switch, switch, your expression changes
Swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl, my eyes turn
I’d rather fall together with you

Your hand
Don’t let go again
Don’t leave me alone again
Your voice saying “it’s ok”
Makes me want to melt

A sweet trap of romance laid out
You are the guilty one
Immersed in this sugary mood, I’m addicted, can’t pull out
Ahh, I want to love every second, I want to love now
In short, I’ve fallen in love
Can’t escape from the sinful you

If you’re going to make me feel that way, then bind me up
Lock me up so that I won’t be able to go anywhere
Make me feel that way
How much will you tease me till you’re satisfied?
I’m ready, so please, do whatever you want

Your eyes
Don’t look away again
Don’t leave me alone again
Your voice saying “it’s ok”
Makes me want to melt

A sweet trap of romance laid out
You are the guilty one
Immersed in this sugary mood, I’m addicted, can’t pull out
Ahh, I want to love every second, I want to love now
In short, I’ve fallen in love
I can no longer forgive the sinful you

Dancing in a dream, in this gentle, gentle time
Pull me close, embrace me, caress my hair

Just like how you’ve set a trap for the me sleeping in your arms
I’ve set a similar trap of romance for you too

Switch, switch, switch, your expression changes
Swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl, my eyes turn
I’d rather fall together with you

Your hand

A sweet trap of romance laid out
You are the hopeless one
Immersed in this sugary mood, I’m addicted, can’t pull out
Ahh, I want to love every second, I want to love now
In short, I’ve fallen in love
Won’t let the sinful you escape anymore
