romaji/translation: Kristine

Everyone certainly has darkness
Hiding somewhere in their heart.
Sometimes, it prevents you
From living the way you want to.

Because people's pain is unfathomable,
It's difficult to share it so easily

However, if you think you'd like
To meet facing each other,
If you meet a person, don't be afraid

With a violent noise the door to your heart has closed
If on that long ago, far away day, oh, you
Have lost the key to open it,
With common words
And common expressions,
Let me hear from you as it is.
Don't hide anything
Let me hear

Believing your eyes will never reflect
Unknown, shapeless things
Is really scary, but if you do that
It'll be wonderful.

Although in the middle of that grey town, you
Weren't able to to preserve your true heart that way...

But don't give up something
As if it's a loss
Don't smile weakly.

"Where is the person who,
Without sacrificing anything, got
Everything they wanted?" I ask
C'mon, even if I wished that much
I won't have it again
The things I've lost and long for...
You have them

With a violent noise the door to your heart has closed
If on that long ago, far away day, oh, you
Have lost the key to open it,
With common words
And common expressions,
Let me hear from you as it is.
Don't hide anything

"Where is the person who,
Without sacrificing anything, got
Everything they wanted?" I ask
C'mon, even if I wished that much
I won't have it again
The things I've lost and long for...
You have them
That's so dazzling

romaji/translation: Kristine

The wind invites me to lie down in the shade. I'm crying.
I saw me and saw a person I don't know
I play my guitar in search of people who've passed on
A star falls for the grief of people who don't come

They won't come, no matter how I call
The orange flower petals
Just sway quietly
A gentle wrinkle is left behind
By the far away memories in the palm of my hand
I strike a chord of eternal goodbye

A child's heart clings to a gentle hand
The burning chariot makes a sweeping turn and goes on
I play my guitar for the grief of people who've passed away,
Violently strumming the strings of my heart

The orange flower petals
That weren't dyed white by sadness
Swayed in the shadow of summer
Losing the gentle wrinkles,
Crossing the far away red-dyed sands...
The rhythm of goodbye.

The memories burn into the ground, into nothing.
They bud into nostalgic things

I see off dawn's carriage
Even now, somewhere,
The orange flower petals are swaying
Someday, I'll have seen a peaceful dawn.
Until I have it once again,
An unextinguishable light
Turns the wheels

romaji/translation: Kristine

Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why am I stopping?
Please, tell me.
When will I grow up?
How long can I be a child?
Where am I running from?
Hey, where am I running to?

I didn't have a place to be. I couldn't find one.
Can I have faith in the future? I don't know.

"You're a strong child, aren't you?" they kept saying.
"It's great that you don't cry," they complimented me.
Words like that weren't the one thing I wanted,
So I pretended I didn't understand.

Why are you smiling?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please, tell me.
Since when did you get strong?
Since when did you feel weakness?
How long will I wait
For the day I understand to come?

Well, the sun is rising, isn't it? I must be going.
I can't be in the same place forever.

Someday, you'll be betrayed by believing in people
I thought it was the same thing as rejection
At the time, I didn't have that kind of strength.
I definitely knew too much.

"You're a strong child, aren't you?" they kept saying.
"It's great that you don't cry," they complimented me.
The more they said things like that,
The more even laughing became agony.

I was born alone, I'll go on living alone
I thought that kind of life was perfect for me.

C'mon, spread your arms wide
Let's clap our hands and walk together
When we start to run,
We'll start going here together.

"I don't really feel like
Walking in front of anyone," I said,
But I don't wanna walk
Behind anyone either.

When one of you
Shouts "YES!",
I'm standing in line
Shouting "YES!" too

*C'mon, spread your arms wide
Let's clap our hands and walk together
When we start to run,
We'll start going here together.
You all are my pride

There's a trick to happiness
Hidden in these seemingly boring days,
Because it's as if that was made
For everyone to share, wasn't it?

It's alright that you can't
Gain flattery.
When that happens, it's okay.
I'll lose with you.

C'mon, spread your arms wide
Let's clap our hands and walk together
You all shout, and
I'm not afraid of anything.
I'm not alone.

C'mon, spread your arms wide
Let's clap our hands and walk together

romaji/translation: Kristine

Is that right? It seems like
We're entering a new age that's full of miracles
That you can't taste ever again.
Remember it one more time

*The day we were born on this planet,
Somehow we were happy
Somehow it was painful
We cried
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah

Even judging reality can double-cross you.
Because you can make a mistake,
Use your eyes to determine the value of what's there
By your own standards.

**We were born in a time like this,
But somehow we're moving forward
But somehow we're standing here
Living through today.
wow yeah wow yeah wow yeah

We were born on this planet.
Somehow we were really happy
Somehow it was really painful
We cried out in a loud voice
wow yeah wow yeah wow wow yeah

We were born in a time like this,
But I met you.

We were born on a planet like this,
So I met you.

Tasted like cigarettes.

Someday, I'll fall in love again with someone else, and
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Now, it's a sad love song
Until I have a new song I can sing.

Though the time that stopped
Has begun to move,
I just can't forget.

This time tomorrow,
I'll probably be crying...
I'll be thinking of you.

You will always be inside my heart
Because there will always be a place just for you
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Now, it's a sad love song
Until I have a new song I can sing.

As always, I wake up in the morning
I wanna raise my eyes to the sun and cry
After this, I won't let myself forget where I am on this trip
Because I'm going back.

romaji/translation: Kristine

For example, if I were to suddenly disappear from here,
Would you go looking for me?
Until you find me, can I wait for you
Believing that people are kind?

*Becoming an adult, or
Being an innocent, simple child--
Which one is worse?
Let's stop asking that question
When you bloom.

If you were in this town overflowing in people,
Would you be able to hear me?
It keeps going, it never stops...
Will this scream reach someone?

Knowing someday you'll fall and scatter,
I'll still love you beautifully.
What kind of courage is it
That makes you grow up straight and tall?

repeat *

Knowing you'll someday fall and scatter,
Even when you get stepped on, you're still so proud.
What kind of strength it it
That makes you grow up straight and tall?

Turning back to look at the days that passed by,
Or wishing to tomorrow--
Which is scarier?
Let's stop asking that question
When you bloom.

romaji/translation: Kristine

An unpleasantly cold, rainy day
Together for some reason
In your car, the radio was playing

There's no need for goodbye if we meet again someday
Don't you think that's wonderful?

Can you hear my voice?
A late night, 1'o'clock Heart Station
Don't need to tune the dial
It's a secret frequency
Is the radio station of my heart reaching you?
A Heart Station for sinners
Only God knows
I miss you

(Baby, can you hear me?
Just tell me one thing
If you can hear me, say something)

I think about it so much
That I need to forget. Why
Do only the good memories get left behind?

Even if you leave, you're here
Inside my heart 

I thought I heard your voice
Late at night on the 1'o'clock Heart Station
Two pulses
Always ringing somewhere
Is the radio station of my heart reaching you?
A Heart Station for lovers
Once again tonight we have a request
I Love You

romaji/translation: Kristine

I want to see only you, always, all the time...
On rainy days, I remember just one wish.

In your heart is
A piece of me I've forgotten.
Is it still there?

Sleeping in the closed book
Are the "memories" that are Pandora's jewels.
I held my breath in hesitation,
Watching them as long as I liked
here in the rain

Yesterday, I cried for the fallen petals that I held dear
As if, little by little, I was forgetting about you.

I'm a piece of you.
I just want to go back to your heart...

My fragmented eyes are
Broken quartz in the shape of a crescent moon.
You're the only light that fulfills me,
Forever waiting
here in the rain

I just want to see you......

Sleeping in the closed book
Are the "memories" that are Pandora's jewels.
I held my breath in hesitation,
Watching them as long as I liked...

My fragmented eyes are
Broken quartz in the shape of a crescent moon.
You're the only light that fulfills me,
Forever waiting
here in the rain
Searching for the piece...

romaji/translation: Kristine

Under the grey, square sky, even today
Everything is running out of the desires it's filled with.
In that light, I can't lose sight of the things before me
I can always walk facing forward because of you.

Because you taught me
That there were still untainted things left behind
In the corners of this town...

I watched you, who had fallen asleep,
Hiding your breath with your exhausted body.
In all of this world, only I know
Your innocent, lovely face...

As if everything was perfect, sunlight downpours
On that day swayed by the gentle wind.

Inside of me, something is slowly growing.
Only I thought it was
Really changing...

I wasn't sad, but the tears fell.
It hurts so much to think of you,
Because you turned into kindness
The scars that sank deep into my heart.

romaji/translation: Kristine

Someday, before I was born, surely
I kept on searching for something unchanging.
I find it and lose it at times, and
There were nights when I hurt people.

If you only had just one wish,
If you only had just one wish,
What would you pray for?
What would you pray for to this sky?

With the strong feeling I really wanted to be by you,
Somewhere I start thinking that I'm giving up.
I find it and release it at times, and
There were nights when I hurt myself.

If there were something I could offer you,
If there were something I could offer you,
It would be my unchanging, true feelings

If you could smile for me but just a little,
I would have a reason to still be living here, right?
If you could search for me but just a little,
I wonder if I can be forgiven for still living here...

If you only had just one wish,
If you only had just one wish,
What would you pray for?

romaji/translation: Kristine

lalala...
It's like I've always heard this gentle voice
Coming down from somewhere,
A warmth that was just next to me.

By forgiving, I was forgiven,
Even of my long ago childhood.
I tried to heal myself, but was healed by you.
If you've noticed, in that way
Love saved me, though I pushed love away.

You come down from somewhere,
Always telling me about
The happiness that's just next to me.

While supporting you, you supported me.
Little by little, we cradled each other.
While protecting you, you protected me,
And I'm changing my mind.
Love's saved me, though I pushed love away.

If you've got some pain that's hard to get over,
Shall we share it and walk together?
Gathering happiness too big for either of us,
Shall we share it and walk together?

Now, I'll sing just for you
Now, I'll sing just for you
You're my precious treasure
You're my precious treasure

romaji/translation: Kristine

What I get?
What you get?
By wanting to believe only
The things you have acquired,
I wonder if you can call it an illusion.

What I say?
What you say?
I have to use words.
I probably can't tell you, can I?
I probably can't reach you, can I?

From here,
The now begins.

*a woman never runs away
a woman never hides away
in order to survive
You can't look to heal
Without a fight

**a woman never shows her fears
a woman never shows her tears
in order to survive
You can't so easily
Show someone your tears

What I need?
What you need?
We have desires.
You can't fulfill them
That's alright.

What I lose?
What you lose?
I'm beginning to lose things.
I've realized it, and
I'm tired of hearing it.

Because if it's love,
It's here.

***a woman could be dangerous
a woman could be generous
in order to survive
You can't always be
A good girl

a woman could be having fun
a woman could be like a nun
in order to survive
You have to know pain;
They won't always be gentle.

romaji/translation: Kristine

This year, another season has passed.
The memories have become distant again.
The border between dream and reality
Has become blurry.

But even so, the dream I told you about then
Didn't have a single lie in it
La La-i

Today was really fun, and
Tomorrow will probably be fun too.
Days like those will keep going on
That's what I thought at the time

In these repeating days,
I feel a little unfulfilled.

I blamed it on the unnatural times
And gave up.
La La-i

Today was really sad.
Even if I cry tomorrow,
We've all had days like those, and
The day will come when I can laugh.

How many moments will pass us by
In our limited time?
We're living now,
And so we'll be searching.

That profile of yours
Is prettier when you're sad.
I couldn't even say one word.
When I'd realized that, you were overflowing with tears.
That must've hurt more
Than everybody thought. I was tired...
I'm sorry I didn't notice.

romaji/translation: Kristine

My white breath says it's winter
In your town, it's snowing
I feel like you're so far away
But in my heart there's no distance at all
One day our wish will be
The only thing I'll ever need,
But I want to be by your side
Where I won't need to be afraid.
