13. 春待つ花のように(Like the flower waiting for spring)
14. WEEKEND

 


1. Anywhere
The city surrounded by grey streets
'life' that never stops to exist wherever it is
The first morning light we bathe in
is the white ray from the ceiling light
We aren't yet fully armed
But time flows by nonetheless

[CHORUS]
Want to love? Don't love? Or unable to love?
Memories never cease to overlay and interwine
Want to go? Stay? Or unable to go on?

The so-called 'eternity', as if unbearable pain
Come hit me, harder and more
Humans should not crave excessively

[CHORUS]
Want to love? Don't love? Or unable to love?
It's gone while you go back and forth
Not yet there? Want to reach across? Want to gently touch?
In where? To where? To what?


4. Rusty Rail

Lonely nights without you by my side, on this moonlit street
You used to say you liked the quietness of this small town, right?

At that time it's not for the fear of loneliness
that you chose me, then why indeed?

If one day you leave for a lively street
The days you spend that I'll never see with my own eyes
appear in my mind and disappear again

But now,on this square where only railway remains
I'm still here waiting for the train

Imagining some day in future when I leave this place
But today I am still waiting

Love that I thought only happens to drop by...
Those days are so unforgettably warm

But now, only the railway remains. keep walking along this route
Will I be able to reach the lively street you live in?

Rust will grow
on this railway that only leads to you

Doesn't matter if it's a small nameless station
Take me away
from the place where I'm standing


6. かくれんぼ
Hide and Seek

One, Two, Three... I close my eyes and count, until this gesture's gone
Turning around after the sound of 'Ready!', no one is in sight
Ah, pretend to be looking around.
Loitering alone like this isn't a bad idea
You can come out but you don't. Coz you made a promise, didn't you?
Sincerely praying,
If I can't find anyone till the end
My prayer will definitely come true.
Although it's only child play, I still have to believe.
It's alright if I can't find anyone before sunset.
They're gone...
One, Two... Gesturing with uneasiness and pretending not to know
The yard is closed, better go back.
Ah, nearing midnight, it's alright to be scared of squeaking owls
If I don't sleep the whole night, I'll probably also hear the morning crows.
If I can't find anyone till the end
My prayer will definitely come true.
It's only child play, hold your breath,
Still want to pray? I'd better go back.
I'm a ghost
feeling light-hearted when flights of crows fly past in twilight
even my smiles are brimming.
If I can't find anyone till the end
My prayer will definitely come true.
I never doubted it's only child play
It's alright to keep on praying
I'm a ghost,
a ghost...


7. 向日葵の色
The colour of sunflowers

You're always scared during the journey
Passions can't be born out of your hands
No matter where you go
You always stick to my side

[Chorus]
The color of sunflowers, golden all over
The soul who's staring
In order to leave sadness in scorching daylight
buries his shadows in glaring sunlight

Sunflowers O Sunflowers, wish you could blossom once more
Sway to your pleasure in the season of summer
to that splashing sunlight so enticing
and death

Your innocent eyes crave for
a sky so scaringly clear as if it's washed

Just so to leave footsteps behind
We keep on walking

The colour of sunflowers, golden all over
Battered soul
same as naked glory
Just to find out if there is sunlight

Breath is hidden under remnants of insanity
Have you decided the right time to let go
Unable to ascend to heaven
The ink pen that loses its magic

[Chorus]
The color of sunflowers, golden all over
The soul who's staring
In order to leave sadness in scorching daylight
buries his shadows in glaring sunlight

Sunflowers O Sunflowers, wish you could blossom once more
Sway to your pleasure in the season of summer
to that splashing sunlight so enticing
and death


9.マージナルマン
Marginal Man

When the bell sounds the coming of morning
People start to gather at this place
this small town
still the same from the long past
nothing's ever changed...

Afraid of new waves
Because the love inside the heart
Because the promise made for love
Is a little bit too much

[Chorus]
Marginal man, wandering in town
Shourded in extravagant silk scarf
Feeling happy and light as always
Refusing to go with the flow

Marginal man, like the wind
Appear, then disappear
To be remembered by others
is something that happens much later

On one Sundy morning
People drove him away from town

What then, have they gained?
The never changing street scenes?
What comes under my eyes
rusty for unexplianable reasons
is my dear home

Marginal man, left this town
Walked into a happy circus
Singing a funny song without rhythm
He jumped into a cold river

Marginal man, counting the stars
Whenever it's twilight
He starts to think of
those he can't forget

Marginal man, walking to the other side of town
In a long long sleep
digging open a dream
He saw the lover who left him
The woman in the forever unchanging town
who rode on wind
And made the exotic flowers blossom


11. Yellow Moon

Ah embracing tightly
Why feeling not at ease
Tonight the sea
the sound of waves so quiet it makes me scared

Ah must have forgotten
your voice your warm existence
And the deeply buried thoughts that can never be conveyed

Even poems full of love
are not enough to cure this longing

I only know everyone is equally lost
Why? the body filled with meaningless love

Ah ~ gently take them all away
together with the meaning of future we portrayed

Always alone since the very beginning
Laugh away yellow moon

If I fall in love with someone unexpectedly
Someday I'll have to endure the pain of losing
That day will come sooner or later

You who come to my side
Your hands have turned icy cold

Haven't you always been seeking
The last gentle words when we depart
I'll also pretend our love has turned cold

Ah for sure it'll slowly fade away
The prickling pain now in my body

As if telling me
"There must be a day you'll recall"
yellow moon, still wandering

Releasing gentle light, yellow moon
Always there static, yellow moon


12. もうちょっとサガシテみましょう
Let's search a bit more

Not because I want to travel far
It's just I want to walk on
Seems it's near the end of day
my body already exhausted

As if a starry sky looked through the universe
Always feels there's something different
Neither too sparse, nor too full
Still lacking a little bit? Almost there?
Never found out the answer

[Chorus]
Let's search a bit more
As if in repeatedly rising and receding tides
Something swayed by the waves
will eventually reach the other side of the coast
It's not a bad idea to wait

If tomorrow never comes
Then there's no need to prepare for anything

Always 'brand new', is that possible?
If yes, then the things I want to see
to feel, to possess
should all be like this, no doubt...
The things we're already used to always get ignored
Because there're always new things existing
Even though they're not 'brand new'

[Chorus]
Let's search a bit more
Like the birds that migrate with seasons
Going round and round in circles isn't a bad choice
In this limited space of universe

The wind is howling
I am about to disappear
The fragile body that could be blown away by wind
Still stands tody, the world we embrace tight
is shining

[Chorus]
Let's search a bit more
Like the birds that migrate with seasons
Going round and round in circles isn't a bad choice
In this limited space of universe

Let's search a bit more
As if in repeatedly rising and receding tides
Something swayed by the waves
will eventually reach the other side of the coast
It's not a bad idea to wait


13.春待つ花のように
Like the flower waiting for spring

Sad Ophelia , joyously twinkling words of love
A desire to make the exciting future come true
Just so we hold on to our belief

Fall in love together, incessant thoughts of each other
Why the endless struggle
The deep etched sadness, nurtures transcending happiness

Wearing my heart on my sleeve, even this sincerity
is regarded as habitual betrayal
All alone, unable to face the ending with no way out

Like the flower waiting for spring
If only I could be strong and simply live on
Longing that when I see you again
The four seasons that surround this place
could flow like the brimming passions

River runs, undulating waves flow towards the luring sea
Your beloeved twilight, is soaked in red

Pain that can't be forgotten buries deep in my heart
I can't even trust what's right before me, and keep on swaying

Like the flower waiting for spring
If only I could get over the harshness of winter
Flying towards the sky without you in it
If so I could then forget

Like the flower waiting for spring
If only I could single-mindely spread my wings towards the sky
Then each rainy day will be transfixed in an eternal dream
To hide the flowing tears

Like the flower waiting for spring
If only I could be strong and simply live on
Longing that when I see you again
The four seasons that surround this place
could flow like the brimming passions
