Translation:
We had a trivial quarrel
At the cheap clothes shop
Where I arranged to meet with you
So I ran out alone
Onto La Brea Avenue
Despite expecting
You to chase after me...

Hey. Do you love
Hey. Me?
Hey. If I'm selfish
Would you be disgusted?
It's immature
Hey

When I look up
At the deep blue sky
Of California
The sun
Is visible on a very grand scale
And little things
Are inconsequential
The nervousness I'd had till a little while ago
Disappears, and my heart clears up
In the dazzling sunlight

While I drove back in the car
I called you up
On the side seat's cell phone
You turned up in a cafe
On La Brea Avenue
And we apologized to each other
For our mistakes

Already, I don't mind it
Already, I'm not mad
Already, my temper
Is healing itself
Like always
Already

The refreshing breeze
Of California
Is something blue
Right away you brought me somewhere
And the sky of my heart
Clearing up under blue skies
Has no shadows at all
Be kind to lovers
Because this is a LOVE that blazes down

When I look up
At the deep blue sky
Of California
The sun
Is visible on a very grand scale
And little things
Are inconsequential
The nervousness I'd had till a little while ago
Disappears, and my heart clears up
In the dazzling sunlight

The street of lovers
Seldom has rain Read more!

Translation:
I love to tangle your long fingers
with mine, for no matter how
empty our words are,
we share the reasons why

Till you came to this place
I cried so many times over love

Time slips by so that
the grains of love will tumble down
Piled up here
on the white sheets
We become one
Lock up my loveliness
with the warmth of your skin
Till dawn

I love to listen to the way you breathe
asleep by my side
I can think now, happily,
of trifling, harmless things

More than demanding kindness
I'd been taught of what I noticed

As though the wind dies down at last
my heart quietly
finds nothing frightening
and I simply sleep
If we're together, then
even those bad dreams I always have
won't come to me again
Till dawn

Time slips by so that
the grains of love will tumble down
Piled up here
on the white sheets
I'd believed that such a night as this
would surely come someday
If it's a dream, don't awake
Till dawn Read more!

Translation:
Alone, I can see a froth of milk
On my cooled-down Cafe Macchiato
Since I was thinking about you
I wasn't opening my mouth, wasn't doing anything

Why am I somehow not myself
When I like someone?

Contemplating things
I'm secluded in a shell
Not noticing the time passing by...
As though I'm living in a dream
Just the word "if" comes to mind then disappears

I feel more bitter than usual
With my half-drunk Cafe Macchiato
While I waited on and on for mail on my phone
You persuaded me you were very busy

Even though I'd get used to your honesty in my heart
At the drop of a hat, if we were truly friends...

Contemplating things
I build a wall
All alone in my own world
Wanting to see you more and more and more
But I don't know the ways of love

Contemplating things
I'm secluded in a shell
Not noticing the time passing by...
It fades into twilight before I know it
And today too comes to an end

Translation:
Like a guitar chord
That's kinda difficult
I'm somehow unable to pin down my feelings for you

Although I know it's all right
If the clear tones reach you
I still can't be upfront
And I can't face you

Love is always
An elusive thing
Within my heart
I want to open the window
And fittingly sing my love, like song lyrics
Out onto the wind

The melody of my heart
Keeps coming to mind again and again
Blow away the mistiness
Of common complacency
With both your loveliness and painfulness
I want to cry out "I love you"
With a great voice
I'll be able to sing that out even if I'm on my own

As if strumming an invisible guitar
With a pick, I'll play my
Seemingly burning emotions

I don't think you're able to hear
The tempestuous beat
But run your hands through your hair
It's the most beautiful thing for me

I might not be
Such a person to
Break into pieces...
But in my room
With no one around
I want to put on the headphones of my imagination
And sing

The melody of my heart
Is the true me
Unadorned, without lies
Or even a single bluff
If I spit out my loneliness
I'll come to enjoy myself
I want to convey what I see here
So yeah, I can sing like a rock star

The melody of my heart
Keeps coming to mind again and again
Both your loveliness and painfulness
And common complacency...
The melody of my heart
Is the true me
Unadorned, without lies
Or even a single bluff
If I spit out my loneliness
I'll come to enjoy myself
I want to convey what I see here
So yeah, I can sing like a rock star

Translation:
In the corner of my heart
Is a flower
A tiny flower has blossomed
On that day I wished
For it to blossom in the sun
Little by little

It’s a long way until then
It’s blown by the wind
And struck by the rain
In all honesty
Just keep believing
In the things you can do

Your wholeheartedness
Just like the sun
Gives me courage
Even when I’m broken

The little petal
From that flower
Has given form to a dream
Reach out your hands
Straight ahead
And the sun will grant you life

When you fix your gaze
Tears fall from your eyes
To the point where they won’t stop
But if you choose to give up
Nothing will bloom
From the soil

Without us even knowing
The seasons leave behind only sky
The scenery around us changes
Into unfamiliar flowers

In the corner of my heart
Is a flower
A tiny flower has blossomed
On that day I wished
For it to blossom in the sun
Little by little

A flower cannot blossom
With only the power of one person
Because you stayed by my side
My wish came true

The most beautiful
Of all flowers
Is the one that has grown
In the sunshine of your smile
As for this this flower
It's made entirely of love
It’s made entirely of love Read more!

Translation:

Looking out at the sea,

sitting on the garden bench,
as I swung my legs back and forth,
I left my phone at my side
and kept on waiting for your call
You surely must be busy

The waves speak to me
casually, in such a way

If I love you too much,
your heart
will wear out,
so I'll be strong
If I love you too much,
one-sidedly,
then I'll hope too much to be your girlfriend
and I'll probably be disappointed...

The sun slowly moved along
and time quietly advanced
As I drank my mom's lemonade,
I waited just five minutes more,
just ten minutes more
and I ended up waiting until darkness fell

I felt the cold wind a bit
and thought I'd take a shower

I'm too suffocating
Take a deep breath,
for this day
was too short...
I'm too suffocating
In these moments that pass by,
my heart feels pain, but
I don't hate it...

No matter what happens,
doing it moderately is okay
Love being always
not enough, kinda,
is exactly right for me

If I love you too much,
your heart
will wear out,
so I'll be strong
If I love you too much,
then I'll forget
even happy things

I'm too suffocating
Take a deep breath,
for this day
was too short...
I'm too suffocating
In these moments that pass by,
my heart feels pain, but
I don't hate it...

I wonder how many smiles
I'll gather to become happy
Why don't I have confidence in the love before my eyes?

Kindness is sometimes too heavy
Even if it seems useless,
I'll go walking along this road just a bit more

Roundabout way
Someday, somewhere,
I'll finally reach the place I'd aimed at
Even if I don't go so as to think that

For tomorrow's wind will change if it blows

I mustn't be ashamed
I'll try to raise my head
The sky continues
until I can meet you

I wonder how many bends in the road
I'll be able to meet carefree
Why do I get anxious about the road after that?

Even if I get relieved seeing the familiar city
and want to stand still for a while,
living itself is continuing to walk forever

Roundabout way
From here, always,
my important dream will begin to shine
Being worried, losing my way
I can use my own map
It's pointless to give up,
so I'll go on with a smile

For tomorrow will come

Until I can meet you

When I look up, no matter when,
the unchanging sky is spread out
Even if I roam just a bit more,
it's a moment's stopover within eternity

I remember, even now...
The summer I found love...
On the road where the blue passion flowers
overflowed from a spot of sun

In the clearing sky
the fluffy cumulus clouds
quietly multiplied in the blink of an eye
Why did I feel uneasy?
Even now, in the place I am and in the future

I tilted my head towards
your right shoulder,
leaning it against you slightly
I felt relief in just that action
and was happy

When things went badly
and I was bitter or sad,
just your listening to my grumblings
was a wonderful thing

The two of us, cuddled close quietly
on the porch of a house
as a sudden evening shower tumbled down,
worked out various things and laughed,
and even the rain became fun

Sometimes I'd rest on
your right shoulder,
and even when I had worries,
I could always be comforted
by your warmth

Should I even think about those times
that glimmered under each sky?

Even now, the two of us
seem to be walking together...
I tilted my head towards
your right shoulder,
leaning it against you slightly
I felt relief in just that action
and was happy

So beloved, so heartbreaking
Ah, that summer Read more!

Translation:
The sunlight shining through the trees
Means that summer’s on its way
The wind tells me so
The first time we met
Our eyes didn’t meet
As we went from strangers to friends
I had always misunderstood you
But these negatives created this love

You are me
When we’re together, I can tell
You can’t quite live as well
As everybody else

You are me
Our weird points are alike
But even when you’re troubled
Or lose to your awkwardness
You still keep smiling
That’s what I love about you

We’ve gotten into lots of fights
But we always made up
I’m sure you can understand
My tendency to be indirect
I can’t stand restrictions

You are you
So live any way you please
Because always minding your surroundings
Is rather boring

You are you
I want you to live freely
If you’re ever sad
I’ll be right by your side
No matter when
Don’t worry

You are me
When we’re together, I can tell
