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
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

I am me
So let me live the way I please
When I’m merely putting on a brave face
You’re always by my side
Our incredible chemistry
Seems almost like a miracle

Translation:
Before you go somewhere far away, I think of all the things I need to tell you
Today, once again, as we spend time laughing together
I feel my chest hurt a bit

A spring breeze blows tonight; "I don't want to let you go"
That's the kind of thing I think, but I can't say anything unnecessary
"See you tomorrow" we said as our goodbye
I walk alone beneath the rows of trees
And suddenly I recall the remnants of my dreams

The dancing flower petals flutter in the breeze
Slipping through the gaps in my heart
All I can do is face my feelings
No matter what kind of pain comes to attack my heart again
I'm going to find out what's beyond that closed door

The two of us are completely opposite
But I wonder why I didn't notice that when we were together
Our similarities grew
But the truth is that we copied each other a little bit

The night you cried, I wiped your tears away
We briefly nodded to each other
Noticing the fleeing future
Looking at the unchanged you
I've decided to leave my memories behind
I'm sorry; I'm going on ahead

The dancing flower petals sway
Connecting to my swaying heart
So that I won't forget the dreams and wishes carried on the spring breeze
I'll start walking
Hey, lift your head up
So that I can laugh by your side again

No one else stronger is stronger than you are
Don't be afraid of being alone
Even if I am

The dancing flower petals flutter in the breeze
Slipping through the gaps in my heart
All I can do is face my feelings
No matter what kind of pain comes to attack my heart again
So that I won't forget the dreams and wishes carried on the spring breeze
I'll start walking
The future we believed in starts from here again Read more!

Translation:
A nostalgic intonation fills up the subway platform
How long has it been since then?
Time hasn't stopped with each day

When my heart was almost broken
I remembered that scenery, that scent, the me back then

No matter how far away I am, there's a place I can always come back to
With all my strength, I'll spread out both hands
There's a town that's waiting for me
This place is a treasure; that's why I can do my best
I want to tell you; it makes me cry
A warm power is filling me up

I'm no longer afraid of the towering skyscrapers
But I get nervous sometimes; I still haven't grasped anything in these hands

I'm fine; it's okay not to worry
That reply has become a habit, even when it's useless to tell the truth

No matter how far away I am, there's a place I can always come back to
Hearing those words, I feel like I can start walking again
Even tears are a treasure; the day you can call them that will surely come
I'll embrace the forgotten emotions in my heart

I can still go farther than this!
There's no way I can't get over this!
I believe that; I'll always have my eyes fixed on it

No matter
No matter how far away I am, there's a place I can always come back to
With all my strength, I'll spread out both hands
There's a town that's waiting for me
Someday I'll shine brighter and brighter so I can go home with my head held high
My treasured things are increasing in this new town

Translation:
There surely are words can't be changed
I thought it might be like this
My clouded face reflects on the screen
I stretch out to the light beyond the windowpane

I have something I want to tell you
But I won't e-mail it, and it'd sound like a lie over the phone
Those kinds of important feelings melt into the night
I'll tell you if I see you tomorrow
I'll tell you frankly
The stronger my feelings get
The more it doesn't go right

The moon wanes in fast-forward
If the same night repeats again tomorrow
The dawn won't break
It won't break

Half-read fashion magazines
Are stacked in the corners of my room
The things I want somehow multiply
But things that I truly want are always what you can't see
I'm leaving behind my defenselessness

I'm a bit afraid of being happy
It's like trying to catch white clouds
Even the utmost loneliness can be hidden by love
Let an unknown melody fill in the gaps
I'll untie my tightly tied hair
The hands of the clock turn
And give me a hint

The small star that's always shining
Has saved you and I
No matter what, I want to be by your side
Hey, I want to see you

I have something I want to tell you
But I won't e-mail it, and it'd sound like a lie over the phone
Those kinds of important feelings melt into the night
I'll tell you if I see you tomorrow
I'll tell you frankly
The stronger my feelings get
The more it doesn't go right

The moon wanes in fast-forward
If the same night repeats again tomorrow
The dawn won't break
It won't break

Translation:
An unstable strategy
Is rising around the world
It's too late to go back; even if you get angry
You're always just barely living
Nobody knows what tomorrow brings

The you I love today too
Are you crying all by yourself?
Stretch your hands out to the light

I feel like we can head out to the distance
And hop on to this voice
Let's get closer and closer together
The things you want to come true aren't reasonable
Because they're always right here
Because they're always right here

Throw away those grumpy feelings
A good feeling comes from scribbling messily
Walking barefoot is pointless
Glass fragments are a little painful

The you I'll always love
Are you taking things at face value?
Hey, don't hide it

We can head out to the distance
With a little bit of courage
You can shine brighter and brighter
There's no such things as things that won't come true
Because you'll always be wishing for them
Because you'll always be wishing for them

Tell a lie and say you're okay
Try getting angry for no reason
Laugh at nothing at all
Act tough and regret it

It doesn't always go as planned
But it's because I want to believe
In the present

I feel like we can head out to the distance
And hop on to this voice
Let's get closer and closer together
The things you want to come true aren't reasonable
Because they're always right here
Because they're always right here

Translation:
At the scrambled intersection that's like a repeat of yesterday
I looked at the overly blue sky; it'll be hidden if it rains

In this city full of all kinds of things, something feels off
I had a feeling I'd return that movie I rented without watching it

Hey, do you still remember me?
Hey, I still remember you

Your voice has always been here with me, though I've never heard it
It's not like I don't have anything that's important to me
Thinking that I wanted to go back; not being able to say that I want to go back
While pretending to be strong and missing you, I'm searching for tomorrow

Laughing, you first told me "See you later" at the Chuo Line
I've realized that my practiced feet avoid crowds of people

Hey, how do you see me now?
Hey, I might not be able to meet you now

Staring blankly at the glow of the TV
The name I'd gotten used to seeing, with my phone in my hand
Without knowing what the person on the other end was thinking
I couldn't help but laugh

Your voice has always been here with me, though I've never heard it
"I get it"; "You're lying, right?"; you're giving me the run-around
But somehow I'm happy, so I'll surely wait for the morning
I'm expecting it to repeat today

I've always been here, and I still am now
Hesitation and loneliness are only natural
I wanted to say that I want to go back; I couldn't say that I want to go back
Though I'm pretending to be strong and missing you, I'll still walk on

Tomorrow I'll return that movie I didn't watch

Translation:
Riding with no hands up the hill on a bike
I have no interest anymore in a torn up virgin

This melody can't help us
I've become broken; I feel a little lonely

Are you virgin? kill the virgin!

A virgin in love is a realist; true feelings break through!
Right? Am I mistaken?
I want to love you; wet me fantastically
I want to love you; sway me dramatically
A sampled virgin

kill the virgin

It's right in front of you; grab it firmly with both hands
But the numb virgin soaked up the task

This melody can't save us
I've melted; it's a little painful

Are you virgin? kill the virgin!

I wonder, what is love?
What are you saying? Love me tender

My beloved nihilist, go out with the true me!
Right? You can't be wrong, can you?
I want to love you; sway me crazily
I want to love you; sway me chaotically

A virgin in love is a realist; true feelings break through!
Right? Am I mistaken?
I want to love you; wet me fantastically
I want to love you; sway me dramatically
Goodbye, virgin

Translation:
Ah...I take in a deep breath
And go along with the same kind smile
Even though you're always by my side
Again today you haven't noticed the mistake I made

Slowly melting bitter chocolate
It called to me and I drowned in its sweet scent

The distance between us seems just enough for your hair to tickle me if the wind blows
You took me along and we walked side by side
I'd always been pretending not to see
Thinking and yawning as tomorrow swiftly comes
The lost pieces of my heart can't be fixed

Hey, if me missing you
Has to do with love or lust
Then I'm sorry; we're breaking up today
I'd be happy if we could stay friends...I think

I'm all by myself
And in a too wide, cold bed, seeing someone's else dream

Facing your tall shoulders
I stood on tiptoe and kissed you
It was the first time I felt your tender body heat
Embarrassed and smiling
"Do you love me?"; asking that over and over isn't because of anxiety
The only thing I wanted
Was to hear that you loved me

Bye bye, thank you
I'll tell you that I've grown to love you
Bye bye, thank you for everything, darling

You cried
I wonder why
I was hung up and cried too
Even on the nights I hurt you and clumsily said "I love you"
Overflowing with kindness, you embraced me
I want to try depending on you once more
But we can't go back to how we were

An all-or-nothing fighting pose will open the key tomorrow
Getting a safe score and taking precautions
The heart of my true self is screaming out

No matter how many times you fail
The morning will always come to yet unknown places

Translation:
If you ask me what a dream is, honestly, I'll be vague
Wearing flashy clothes covers up that weakness

Time just ticked away for that me a long time ago
But rather than sleep and only talk about my dreams, I want to love what's in front of me

There isn't a manual on cutting back, slashing back, being cool, how to live
So I'll just believe those magazine articles and smile for now

Pin Heel Surfer, don't give up; Pin Heel Surfer, keep running
Embracing our maternal personalities, we're fighters
A smile today will cause a wave tomorrow
Plant your heels down; Ah Ha! Pin Heel Surfer

Rather than deleting his picture, I want to delete myself
If tears start overflowing, I'll just kiss and break up

I take a deep breath as I look up at the sparkling skyscrapers
Getting nervous about him and things that are still unseen as another saga begins

Shape up, makeup, loving your job, letting go
With all my might I'll exercise these palms and standby

Pin Heel Surfer, you're glittering; Pin Heel Surfer, to that sky
Say hello to the future age; whatever happens
Good waves or bad waves, you can decide for yourself
Enjoy the world; Ah Ha! Pin Heel Surfer

Cutting back, slashing back, being cool; One more time, even if you can't ride it out!
It'll surely be right in front of us, a light to my, to our dream..dream..dream!!

Pin Heel Surfer, don't give up; Pin Heel Surfer, keep running
Embracing our maternal personalities, we're fighters
A smile today will cause a wave tomorrow
Plant your heels down; Ah Ha! Pin Heel Surfer

Enjoy the world; Ah Ha! Pin Heel Surfer

Translation:
Nanana... the faraway, hot sun
Nanana... the sun is the bursting me
It's quite scandalous

Is this a joke in the mirror?
There's gossip fever passing through
I'm tired of this child's play

A fighter inside of my heart
My burning impulses are a fearless fire
Haven't you noticed such things?

A fleeting, swaying mirage
But my cries won't be heard
I haven't experienced this nervousness yet
The still unseen future is almost here
My heart won't stop pounding

It's meaningless, as I imagined
It isn't more than I had imagined
The entwining sun is burning my soul
There's nothing wrong with more than the best, right?
A parallel world is fully opening
Don't underestimate me
God, please
I want an almost bursting summer
A scandalous sun; yes! Yay, yay, yay

Knocked out by unkind days
When you stock overflowing passion
It'll freeze and won't work

Fireworks dance and fall in the night sky
But my prayers won't be answered
I can't hide my uneasiness
The still unseen tomorrow is almost here
These feelings won't change

It's meaningless, as I imagined
It isn't more than I had imagined
My intertwining instincts are burning my soul
There's nothing wrong with wanting to become better, right?
Showtime to an unknown world
An unfaithful summer baby lady
God is laughing
I want to have a dissolving dream

No matter where you go in the total darkness
You're going round and round in a maze
If there's an answer after this, don't stop
Hey, keep running

A fleeting, swaying mirage
But my cries won't be heard
A fleeting, swaying dream pattern
The still unseen future is almost here
My heart won't stop pounding

It's meaningless, as I imagined
It isn't more than I had imagined
The entwining sun is burning my soul
There's nothing wrong with more than the best, right?
A parallel world is fully opening
Don't underestimate me
God, please
I want an almost bursting summer
A scandalous sun; yes! Yay, yay, yay

You have to go crazy! Have to! Have to!

Nanana... the faraway, hot sun
Nanana... the sun is the bursting me
It's quite scandalous

So speed up! Shape up! Never give up!
Say goodbye to boredom

I wanna be your number one

Passion, session, gradation
Accidentally say hello

A princess in the mirror
Graceful haute couture
Beware of a beauty in return
Let's go somewhere if it's sunny tomorrow
Searching for the best

Humoring a Happy Collector with seriousness today
If it's too much then let's dance
More high fives! High kicks! Say cheese!
You should laugh

Translation:
On an ordinary Sunday afternoon
I fell under a magic spell
Everyday strings of words
Have become a suspenseful scene
You wouldn't believe how far
My clumsy fantasy extends
My heart's beating faster and faster
A sign that something's beginning

Close the door before somebody hears us
Even standing back to back, we can feel it
Come on, let's mirror each other more
Before we wake up from this dream

If we start running, we won't be able to stop
May our story of tomorrow
Shine, shine
No matter how dark the night is
You're not alone, you can get through it
Run, run
Come on, escort me

"Don't forget! In happy days lay sweet traps"
What proud words those are
Which mouth did it come from?
Mixing my worries into my coffee
And thinning them out
Taking a new step
With a light heart like this

Listen, I'll play note after note
But each is different
Though, you know, you don't have to hurry
Go on...keep playing

I feel like I can play it now
I'm leaping over miracles
May our story of tomorrow
Go on, go on
It shouldn't be this difficult
Making footprints as we like
Run, run
But I don't want the kind of happy ending you see all the time

If we start running, we won't be able to stop
May our story of tomorrow
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Ah, I don't want my happy ending to be sad
