Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Melting in your mouth
My feelings reach out to you
It’s embarrassing
I can’t say it out in words
It’s like secrets et cetera
Aside from the interested parties
Noone else knows
Everyone around us
Unaware of this confession

Love
Should have been so fun, but
Why
Does my heart feel so sad?
So sweet
But bitter

Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
Look, my heart is pounding
And throbbing
The gift of romance
Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
They all look the same, but
Yes, they’re all different inside
I love you!

The things you like
Of course, I should have known
Sugar and milk
And coffee, all in one
Just like a child
Yes, if it’s too bitter
You can’t eat it, right?
Even so, I wish
That you will pick me, seriously

Cocoa
Lots of that inside
But somehow
I want to close my eyes
You understand the bitterness

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Well, right from the start
You’ve already decided, right?
That one right at the end
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Not just sweet
Yes, just try me out
It’ll be stimulating

My bitterness is real

ゼロサム太陽 (Zero Samu Taiyou) – Zero Sum Sun

Performed by Team K.

from Ue kara Mariko single.

—–

The speed at which sunset comes is faster today than yesterday
Before I leave, I wish to speak with you

Because I noticed the troubled look in your eyes
I wanted to shine light on the shadows inside your heart

If you do get together with someone you love
It’s alright, just tell me
Now

Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly

The monochrome city streets slowly sink into silence
Can I ask this of you, treating it as a joke?

Confused by the turns of love, your lost expression
Overflows with sympathy and looks so sad

Let’s say, even if you choose to say goodbye
I won’t regret what we used to be
Now

Zero sum, the two of us
As something comes within our grasp
In return, something else will crumble away in our hands
Zero sum, the two of us
Just what are the bonds we should believe in?
Choosing to devote to unrequited love
I’ll just have to accept the future

These memories are so beautiful
Nobody was truly at fault here
Please be happy and full of smiles!

Zero sum
Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly
