Who are you? Who are you?
Sorry, I don’t recall where we met
Forgotten
I apologize, I’ve thrown away the past I don’t wanna remember

I think we’ve kissed
I have a memory of the shape of your lips…
Aside from that, everything else is uncertain…
I don’t really care what happened

It seems we were in love
So who wanted to break up?
This coincidental meeting again
Why are you talking to me now?

Who are you? Who are you?
It’s not like anything’s gonna start again
Oh No way
No way, no joke, I can’t make the same mistake
Oh Mistake!
It’s not me, I’m not the same playful self I was back then
Oh my god!
How ironic, how troublesome to have met you here again
Goodbye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Let’s pretend not to know each other, go our separate ways
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Even if we’ve met again, doesn’t mean we’ll have a future

It feels so nostalgic
This feeling sleeping at the bottom of my heart
Yes, I used to have it
A gaze of wanting to have it all

Did I betray you?
Or did you throw away the key?
Whose fault was it?
It’s just a worthless cut-out

In truth, I know you!
Yes, I knew it was you right from the start, but
Beats me
Beats me, but meeting you, I feign disinterest and turn away
No choice!
I have no choice, there are no memories I wanna bring up
No good!
Let’s just deal with this lightly and escape
OK
Hello Hello Hello Hello
Hello Hello Hello Hello
Brushing past in an instant, then moving on away…
Hello Hello Hello Hello
Hello Hello Hello Hello
Even if we get together again, doesn’t mean it’ll go well

Men and women have always
Met, separated, met again
Repeating again and again
Always having the same dream

Who are you? Who are you?
It’s not like anything’s gonna start again
Oh No way
No way, no joke, I can’t make the same mistake
Oh Mistake!
It’s not me, I’m not the same playful self I was back then
Oh my god!
How ironic, how troublesome to have met you here again
Goodbye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Let’s pretend not to know each other, go our separate ways
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
Even if we’ve met again, doesn’t mean we’ll have a future

ソーユートコあるよね? (Sou iu toko aru yo ne?) – There’s a part of you just like that, eh?

from Sou iu toko aru yo ne? single.

——

Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess it’s ok
There’s that, not not that
Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess you’re right
It’s not ok, it’s not not ok

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

Past, present, future tense
Even love has various forms
The one who’s been talking non-stop
Who is he?
I mean, parties like this are just not my thing
Human relations (are too complex…)
For you, everybody
Is a friend, isn’t it?

Don’t introduce him
As your ex-boyfriend
I won’t be able to keep calm
It’ll surely get awkward and strange

There’s a part of you just like that, eh?
Unconcerned with the atmosphere
Doing things your own way
Even if it makes others awkward
(Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess it’s ok)
Really, too straightforward with yourself
When I see such an honest you
Everything is good
As long as you like it, it’s all right!

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

Slightly over-familiar physical touches
I don’t wanna get jealous, but
Is such a long hug
Really necessary?
Why does my heart seem so small?
I hate it (It’s not true, right?)
It’s always like this, you
Just enjoy life

At this point
There’s nothing between you two
I’m aware of that
But pay a little attention to me!

There, that part of you isn’t good
I’ve always wanted to tell you
But if I do
Then I’ve lost
(Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess you’re right)
Surely it’s better that I didn’t say it
I would have regretted it
All your bad parts
I’ll just accept them, it’s all right!

Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess you’re right
It’s not ok, it’s not not ok

Pretending not to see
Acting totally unconcerned
Asking “oh, is that so?” back
While feigning innocence

“There’s a part of you just like that, eh?”

There’s a part of you just like that, eh?
Unconcerned with the atmosphere
Doing things your own way
Even if it makes others awkward
(Isn’t it ok? I-I-I-I guess it’s ok)
Really, too straightforward with yourself
When I see such an honest you
Even that becomes a monologue
As long as you like it, it’s OK!
It’s true
It’s all just a monologue
I’ll never be able to say it…

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Everything’s all right!
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

There’s a part of you
There’s a part of you
There’s a part of you
Just like that, eh?

サヨナラが美しくて (Sayonara ga utsukushikute) – Goodbye is so beautiful

Performed by Shibata Aya and 4th Generation.

from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

From the day we were born till this day today
Just how many people have we met?
The people who come to mind will only be our true friends
Whom we still wish to see, even now

I used to be terrible at interacting
With the people around me
It always took a long time
For me to form friendships and open up my heart

The dream train’s bell rings
There’s just a little bit of time left
Before the door closes
I just want to talk about my feelings now

Thank you, even though we quarreled sometimes
Thank you, we smiled lots
Yes, we’ve finally become friends, right?
When we look back, we see dazzling days
Goodbye is
So beautiful…

In all honesty, it seemed like you always
Had a barrier up around you
Shut away in your own world alone
Maintaining a distance from everyone else

Before I knew it, I’d realized that it’s possible
To have a personal opinion
Everyone has their own way of life
Yes, you taught me that

The dream train starts to move
There’s no regret
Your wet eyes
Are smiling with all their might

Take care, even though I’ll be lonely
Take care, everything into memories
Yes, surely we’ll meet again someday, right?
Along the road leading to the future
I want to
Make a promise

Thank you, I’m glad I met you
Thank you, my true friend
I can finally speak from my heart
These aren’t words of sorrow
Goodbye is
So beautiful…

窓際LOVER (Madogiwa LOVER) – Window-seat LOVER

Performed by Next Position.

from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

The curtains flutter in the breeze
The blue sky appears greedy
The lecture on ancient writings, started since noon
Makes me want to fall asleep
The tale of Genji

I’m interested in you
(Dressed in your uniform, diagonally in front of me)
If you could turn back to face me
I may be able to strive on a little more…
So I make a wish

Falling in love in a corner of the classroom
You’re right next to me, but so far away
My heart’s needle ticks by slowly
This unchanging distance turns into sorrow
A frustrating window-seat LOVER

Is that barking coming from the school yard?
From one lost dog
Staving off boredom, I imagined
And doodled it onto my notebook
How adorable

You always sit facing forward
(A sweet blooming flower)
When your long hair falls
And you brush it behind your right ear…
What are you thinking of?

My heart has been astir since that day
Even though I know it won’t come true…
An escaped sigh is a breeze from my heart
If only I can convey my love with nonchalance
To my transient window-seat LOVER

Falling in love in a corner of the classroom
You’re right next to me, but so far away
My heart’s needle ticks by slowly
This unchanging distance turns into sorrow
A frustrating window-seat LOVER

ハッピーランキング (Happii rankingu) – Happy ranking

Performed by Rank-in girls 2016.

from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

Happy ranking
Romance’s list
Happy ranking
Can it be a high rank?
The popularity vote in class
A total reversal
Dreamy surprise
Thank thank thank you!
WOW WOW Yeah!
Thank thank thank you!

I thought I definitely
Yes, wasn’t going to make it
My girl power isn’t that strong
Nor am I confident in my looks

Not to undervalue society
Just that
I didn’t notice your gaze
You were secretly
Watching me from an unexpected place
With you as my ally…

Happy ranking
I’ve gotten in
Happy ranking
A dark horse
To everyone who supported me
I’m indebted to your kindness
Happy ranking
Too happy
Happy ranking
So excited
As long as I don’t give up
Something good will happen
Thank thank thank you!
WOW WOW Yeah!
Thank thank thank you!

The moment the results were announced
Yes, there was a great commotion
No one had predicted it
The sudden rise of a nobody

I need to experience life
Overthrowing the seniors
No matter how low my ranking
Or how far out of range I was
Someday, the chance will come
With your love…

Happy rank-in
Great progress
Happy rank-in
A clear vote of support
I’ll never forget this favor
Happy rank-in
Grateful and touched
Happy rank-in
Tears flowing
If I believe, surely
My wish will come true

望遠鏡のない天文台 (Bouenkyou no nai tenmondai) – Observatory without a telescope

Performed by Passion For You Senbatsu.

from Chicken LINE single.

——

To the old observatory
All alone
Quietly, in the middle of the night
I snuck out of home to come here

Even the telescopes
Have been removed now
The windows are open wide
Like a husk without dreams

Even though we
Looked up countless times
We couldn’t see our heart’s sky

Starlight, the star of passion
Starlight, days of youth
Shine as usual
The starry sky seems sad
Tonight, the blowing wind
Tonight, the smell of summer grass
I remember you
Sweet and slightly bitter
That summer’s romance

The comrades I’ve always
Skipped lectures with
While drinking canned coffee
We discussed our futures

If I could take a peek
Through the telescope then
At myself 10 years later
Would I have done so?

The sunlight reaching me now
Is romance’s halation
It’s the invisible things that are precious

Sunshine, sun and shadow
Sunshine, past days
Even if that form changes
I’ll watch over destiny
Look at the blue sky and clouds
Look at the shimmering heat
Can’t return to that time
Now that I’m an adult
That nostalgic summer

Unrecorded
On the map of stars
That nameless star
We discovered that night

Starlight, the star of passion
Starlight, days of youth
Shine as usual
The starry sky seems sad
Tonight, the blowing wind
Tonight, the smell of summer grass
I remember you
Sweet and slightly bitter
That summer’s romance

旅の途中 (Tabi no tochuu) – Mid-journey

Graduation song for Miyazawa Sae.

from Chicken LINE single.

——

How many oceans have I crossed to get here?
Before I knew it, my hometown
Was far far away
Since that day I flew out to search for myself
I’ve survived by relying on the wind

“Have I gotten familiar with this unfamiliar land?”
There were nights when I worried about that, but

I’ve journeyed and known love
Our hearts are connected even though we’re apart
The sky we look up at stretches on forever
As we dream the same dream

Hoping for a place with more shine
I’ve spread my wings and flew here
You have taught me
“What am I?” Yes, your courage to ask
To leave the flock, we’ve always admired that

There were times when you got hurt
But you always smiled

Continuing your journey, what have you learnt?
How does that sinking sun look like to you?
As if shaking off your helplessness
You believed in that rising Eastern sky again

Every person
Is stretching out for that invisible thing
With the stars in the night sky
We prepare for a clear day tomorrow

I’ve journeyed and known love
Our hearts are connected even though we’re apart
The sky we look up at stretches on forever
As we dream the same dream

Continuing your journey, what have you learnt?
How does that sinking sun look like to you?
As if shaking off your helplessness
You believed in that rising Eastern sky again
