サクラノアメモエギノヨ (Sakura no ame moegi no yo) – The sakura rain is pale green
from UNFINISHED single + KUCHU PUZZLE album.

“See you”… With that, you stretched out a hand
And I squeezed back, knowing it was a lie
The colors change along with the season
And we parted under the sakura tree
Those words I spoke because I believed
Have become more unbelievable than anything else
People’s hearts are the things that change
And the seasons are not to blame
Rain the colour of sakura
Soaking these boundaries
Let it erase everything, let it end
It’s been a long time since I saw wings on that strong back
Now, only pain is recalled
Carry me away to that river that runs deep into eternity
With limbs shaking like the leaves on a tree
Where am I going?
Losing all sense of heaven and earth
I seem to remember seeing this crossroads
And standing right here…
“Good night” and the conversation has ended
But because you’re so faithful, I sent another text
Gentle days like these were too fragile
Dancing in the wind like petals
“I bought new shoes today”
Seeing you speak with a smile and sparkle in your eye
I remember feeling an unexplainable premonition
It’ll be great to be able to return to that day, but…
A pale green night
Slowly tinged with heat
The twilight makes my senses go mad
If I pretend not to hear and go to sleep
I can recall that happy curse again
I pray hard
That if this is a dream
Don’t let me wake, just let it end like this
On the clock that someone has labelled as life, the second-hand
Clicked and screamed
That day when I thought of your back and our hopes for tomorrow
Let it not be an illusion, as I carve it onto my eyelids and say goodbye
Rain the colour of sakura
Blotting out these tears
Let’s not look back on yesterday again
The reason your strong back faced up to the sky was surely
Because those days had shone
My wings have dropped, but the pale green wind still blows
So let these dim memories take flight
The flowerbud in my heart embraces truth and dreams
Standing up and looking at the crossroads
Cutting through the clouds…

またね…と差し出す君の手を
ウソだと知ってて握りかえす
季節ごとに色を変える
桜の木の下で別れた
信じてると言った言葉が
何より信じられなくなった
移ろうのは人の心
季節のせいなんかじゃなくて
サクライロの雨
この限界ごと濡らして
何もかもかき消して 終わらせて
強がる背中に羽を見た 今は昔
痛みだけ甦る
攫(さら)われて深く 永遠に続く川へ
木の葉のよう 手足さえ揺らめいて
何処へ行くのだろう?
天地の感覚も失った
この三叉路をいつか見た気がして
立ち尽くした…
「オヤスミ」って閉じたやりとりも
律儀な君のせいでもう一通
優しい日々は脆(もろ)すぎて
花びらのように風に舞うよ
新しい靴を今日買ったよ。と
瞳を輝かせ笑う君に
何故か胸騒ぎ覚えた
あの日に戻れたら良いのに…
モエギイロの夜
少しずつ熱を帯びた
宵闇は感覚を狂わせて
聞こえないふりで眠りにつけば
幸せの呪文がまた甦る
願ってた 強く
これが夢だと言うのなら
覚めないで このままで終わらせて
命と言う名を誰かがつけた時計の秒針が
カタリと音をたて 叫んでいた
君の後ろ姿さえ 明日への希望に思えた日を
幻にしないように 瞼へと刻んだサヨナラ
サクライロの雨
この涙 塗りつぶして
もう二度と昨日など見ないよう
強がる背中が空を見てたのは確か
あの日々は輝いて
羽(は)が落ちた今も萌葱の風は吹くから
潤ませた追憶を羽ばたかせ
誠実と夢を心のつぼみと抱いて
立ち上がり見上げた三叉路で
雲が切れた…
