よろしく人類 (Yoroshiku jinrui) – Best regards, humans

from Himatsubushi album.

——

Hello hello, dawn is breaking after the long night
We’ve finally met here

Once upon a time, passing through generations, ages and countries
Proudly connected by DNA
It’s raining, no no, wait for the rainbow
Shall we begin?
Find your position! Dash out!
Human or ape
It’s a long-awaited great discovery
A relay that transcends time

I want to show you a world that will leave you stunned
Let’s evolve in a single flash, so quick that even Darwin is startled

Hello hello, best regards
Everybody, all my fellow humans
Harmonious and hospitable, meeting you is a miracle
Hello hello, I can hear
These emotions that can’t be spoken
New humans with big dreams, I want that to come true

Wipe away your sweat, wipe away your tears
The big battle that will make us strong
Let’s take the veneer off

Creating a gaze that takes in the whole world with smiles
Let’s sing an awakening symphony, so loud that even Beethoven is surprised

Hooray hooray, without omission
All humans, it’s show time
Mellow adrenaline, courage that lets us do anything
Hooray hooray, can you hear?
No matter how far apart we are
You’re never alone, so stand at the frontline of happiness’ birth

Hello hello hello hello, best regards
Hello hello hello hello, I can hear
Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand years, I’ll never never forget

Hello hello, best regards
Everybody, all my fellow humans
Harmonious and hospitable, meeting you is a miracle
Hello hello, I can hear
These emotions that can’t be spoken
A loud song of joy, I want that to come true
Let’s deliver it more and more

いいくらし (Iikurashi) – Spend time chatting

from Iikurashi single + Himatsubushi album.

——

When I woke in the morning, the devil whispered next to me
“If you’re so sleepy, how about skipping school today?”

I feel like I’m following through a scenario written by someone else
A weekly campaign with 2 rest days, whose story is that?

The doze I fall into tastes of sin, temptation
If I indulge further, punishment will come, so I return to myself

One step, making noise “Today is”
Two step, googling, “Where to go tomorrow?”
If I take the recommendation seriously
Things will take a sudden turn into a desperate situation

G-G-Good life
Doesn’t seem like too bad an era
G-G-Good life
Almost there now, stretching out later
Isn’t it g-g-good?
An unconscious Dance Dance in dystopia
Isn’t it g-g-good?
Decide dreams and hopes on your own

It’s not bad, it’s not wrong
It’s not as if something is missing
No time, yet not busy
You’re stopping? Then you’re not evolving

A reckless formation, stagnant regulation, 365 weekdays
Good girls want to be good girls, but she wants to grow tall, wants to rest

Steppen stone! With two months off, everyone will naturally turn slack
Sensation! Warming the old and destroying the new before dawn

Even if we take 2 steps back for every 3 steps forward, if we fall, we can just get back up
Fooling around rudely with heart and soul! There’s no time like now? Dance with the times!

One step, tears “just let them flow”
Two step, hard work “is not in vain”
Friendship, victory, words are power
There are people who believe in magic

Three step, let’s progress “even without a map”
And staff, storekeeper “please support us”
Don’t stop this Show “we can’t go back”
We’re not afraid because you’re here

G-G-Good life
Can’t be split it up like emotions
G-G-Good life
Need to progress together with doubt
Isn’t it g-g-good?
A wakeless Dream Dream stirring up euphoria
Isn’t it g-g-good?
Love’s shape bound in 2 years

It’s not EZ, Hard Days & Night, sometimes we want to cry
Keeping status quo, wanting to be stronger, yes, we believe

Surely
G-G-Good life, like g-g-good life
G-G-Good life, like g-g-good life
G-G-Good life, like g-g-good life
G-G-Good life, I want to live with you now

G-G-Good life
Doesn’t seem like too bad an era
G-G-Good life
The future exists because of the present
Isn’t it g-g-good?
An unconscious Dance Dance home in utopia
Isn’t it g-g-good?
Decide dreams and hopes on your own

私がセンター (Watashi ga sentaa) – I am center

from Tokei jikake no unit-tachi vol.1 single.

——

I am center! (Yuzu too!) I am center! (Yuzu too!)
I am center!

Let me sing the main vocals in a more prominent position
I want the center mic (Yuzu too!)
Coupling is good too (Yuzu too!)

It doesn’t need to be all the time, just once in ten times will do
We’ll decide it with a battle (Yuzu too!)
Let’s play rock paper scissors! (Yuzu too!)

Yo! Here’s a rap showdown! (YoYo!)
There’s no way but to fight! (Center!)
So! Survival of the fittest, it’s an easy settlement (SoSo!)

“I’m youngest, so pick me. Being center must be good” (Yuzu too!)
Stop grumbling and do it in black and white Yo!

I love to sing, and I won’t lose to anyone

“Ehh— But I’ve come all the way from Strawberry Planet on my Pegasus~
So no matter what anyone says, I should have the right to be cen-”

I am center! (Yuzu too!) I am center! (Yuzu too!)
I’ll never give in no matter what (Yuzu too!)
Someday I’ll stand right in the middle (Yuzu too!)
I am center!!! (Yuzu too!)

I am center! (Yuzu too!) I am center! (Yuzu too!)
I’ll never give in to anyone (Yuzu too!)
Never letting go of the mic in my grip! (Yuzu too!)
I am center!!! (Yuzu too!)

We’re doing a unit song, so let us do what we want
Please watch over us, audience. Leave the chatting to backstage

Yo! Scattering sparks are rivals (Yuzu too!)
Oh! Winning and advancing, it’s survival (Yuzu too!)
So! Everyone’s troubled over who to support (Yuzu, of course!)

“As I was saying, shouldn’t the youngest get the chance now~?”
(Of course not~!)
Yo! While luck is sleeping, slow and steady wins the race

In the corners of this city, we live within moments of meeting and separation
Oh yeah! Let’s not hurt each other anymore

“Well— If I don’t get to be center
I’ll get on my Pegasus and return to Strawberry Planet”
Please please (laugh)

I am center! (Yuzu too!) I am center! (Yuzu too!)
I’ll never give in to anyone today (Yuzu too!)
Never letting go of the mic in my grip! (Yuzu too!)
I am center!!! (Yuzu too!)

Oh yeah! One more time! So, next is a dance battle!
Yeah! Ha! Ha! Let’s Dance! Hop! Step!
Yeah! Ha! Ha! Yo! Yo! Yeah! Yeah!

I’m center for singing (Yuzu too~♪)
I’m center for dancing (Yuzu too~♪)
“Yes! We all have different personalities, because we’re human!”

Everyone’s different, everyone’s great, everyone is center
(Yu—-zu—- too—–!)

I am center! I am center!
I’ll never give in no matter what
Someday I’ll stand right in the middle
I am center!!!

I am center! I am center!
I’ll never give in to anyone
Dashing out with the mic in my grip!
I am center!!!

Your Pegasus is here to pick you up (Eh?!)
Goodbye center (Eh~~~?)

おっとりガールの憂鬱 (Ottori gaaru no yuuutsu) – Quiet girl’s melancholy

from Tokei jikake no unit-tachi vol.1 single.

——

“Stars, hey, please answer me. Am I good enough?”
Joining the stars with lines into constellations, I search for an answer

“The stars in the nightsky say “We don’t know”. Sigh…”

“I guess I really need to buck up a little”, the quiet girl promises
Though I can never become a cheeky girl, I really long to be that way

With a “sorry”, I pluck one flower from the field
Plucking the petals, I try to predict my tomorrow

“I’ll do it! Can’t do it… I’ll do it! Can’t do it… I’ll do it! Can’t do it…
Hmm~ One more time! Sorry”

I try to work hard, but it doesn’t look like I’m trying…
That’s the quiet girl’s Fatum, I really do understand, but…

“Hmm~ Why?
Hmm~ Why?
Hmm~ Is that it?
Hey, all the stars sparkling in the nightsky, give me an answer”

“I guess I really need to buck up a little”, the quiet girl promises
Though I can never become a cheeky girl, I really long to be that way
I dream that someday, someone will notice that I am working hard
And then, I shut the window for the night and whisper “goodnight”

OE OE O OE OE O OE OE O
(Everyday dancing all the night)
OE OE O OE OE O OE OE O
“Let’s go—”

“Mainichi” a.k.a everyday
Soul-ripping daytime
Moodiness after waking up soon fading
A maiden’s prayers are in dire distress

It’s almost here, nearly here, the deadline (homework)
Why didn’t I start this much sooner?
The timeline I was gazing at last night
A profoundly mysterious lover I’d met

Once a year is just too little
Too too too too too little, yeah
So late show
Send flying, Fri and Sat
Don’t waste it! Sunday
“Come at me!”

Everyday
Happy happy happy happy that’s right
Moment by moment by moment of reality and bliss
Restless everyday
I’ll overcome it all
This and that, come, I’ll jump over them
Love, sorrow, everything and more
I’ll overtake them
Unravel the reason
Happiness!
Won’t stop

(Girifu girimo hitonosaga)

OE OE O OE OE O OE OE O
(Everday singing more and more)

“Tokoro de” or by the way
Too dry? Is that so? Humans?
If you wanna do it, there’s no time like now
Yes, you’ll surely escape theory and evolve

Life can’t be determined like a meeting
Let’s continue at the actual scene
So live show
Running through Fri and Sat
viva la vida on Sunday
“Please welcome!”

Everyday
Happy happy happy happy that’s right
Moment by moment by moment of reality and bliss
Restless everyday
I’ll overcome it all
This and that, come, I’ll jump over them
Love, sorrow, everything and more
I’ll overtake them
Unravel the reason
Happiness!
Won’t stop

Love and romance and Wed and Fri, all energies
Sweet and bitter, on Mon and Tues, daydream
Burn! Scream! Then! Rest! And! Progress!
This feeling can’t be stopped

Popo fever!

OE OE O (OE OE O) OE OE O (OE OE O)
OE OE O OE OE O OE OE OE OE OE OE O

The painting drawn in my own color always seemed to lack something
But once you shared your color with me, it changed beyond recognition

You said that you hated your own voice, even though I thought it wonderful
Then try singing together with me, maybe we can create an unknown song

Because the world next door is too dazzling
I felt envy and jealousy, wanting to get away from them, but

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
We were definitely not born to be alone
“That’s just me” is like a cage, spread your wings, leave it behind
Become your true self

Resting my chin in my hand
Adding milk to my tea
Stirring it up with a spoon in this aqua afternoon
Finally, you arrive, we smile and finish our drinks
I totally forget all my troubles
When a lonesome someone meets a lonesome someone
We blur and form a rainbow

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
Adventure is like a prank, tickling out overflowing cheers

Our everything mixing, look, it’s a new color
We were definitely not born to be alone
There’s not much white space left on the canvas, but I don’t care
I’ll paint it over with brilliant colors

マジ感謝 (Maji kansha) – Truly grateful

from Shuto iten keikaku single.

——

Chatting with everyone after class, we laughed at silly stories
The promise we made together dispelled my doubts, I’m truly grateful

The reality of growing up, the premonition strikes home
Occasionally making mistakes, messing up, but I won’t forget, forever truly grateful

(Why the dark face? Don’t be depressed, just look forward)
Truly grateful for your existence
(Why the dark face? Don’t be depressed, just look forward)
No matter how far apart we are, I’m always thinking of you
Please listen to my wish

Don’t be so strong, it’ll feel lonely, rely on me
Again, again, and again, I call out for you
I remember you crying, the words spoken then
So glad to have met you, really
Truly grateful

That store we frequented on our way home, how your nose scrunches up when you laugh
Let’s all go on a trip together, so insistent, truly grateful

Our opinions differed on countless things, even as we shared the same experiences
We can talk about anything, this bond remains unbreakable, grateful again

(In this somehow different city, we meet new friends)
Truly grateful to those who support me
(In this somehow different city, we meet new friends)
Progressing without looking back, meetings and separations repeating
We’ve grown up

Anxiety and anticipation in the ratio of 9:1
Again, again, and again, you encourage me
Thank you from my heart, these emotions can’t be told
I’ll surely deliver them, so wait for me

No matter how many “thank you”s I say
It’ll never be enough
Gratitude overflowing from my heart

Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly truly truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly truly grateful, truly grateful

Truly grateful, grateful again, more more, truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly truly truly grateful
Truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful, truly grateful
In a loud voice, truly truly grateful, thank you
