金の羽根を持つ人よ (Kin no hane wo motsu hito yo) – To the ones with golden wings

Performed by Team B.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

To the ones with golden wings
Just soar freely in the sky
To the end of faraway dreams
Surely, you can reach it

On the day they were born, everyone
In the corners of the world
Will raise their voices
Crying and screaming, why is that so?

Crying out a lifetime of tears
So that they can smile
Yes, throughout the future beyond

To the ones with golden wings
Even if you are resting on the ground now
The wind will blow and push you on the back
So soar high

“But I don’t have
Anything dazzling about me”
Don’t give up with that
Try to cross your limits!

Somewhere on your wounded body
True power lies
You just haven’t noticed it yet

To the ones with golden wings
Just soar freely in the sky
To the end of faraway dreams
Surely, you can reach it

You think you have normal wings, right?
An ordinary self (with hidden talent)
You’ll know once you spread them
Those things sparkling gold

Everyone, at the bottom of their hearts
Have forgotten tomorrow’s courage
No matter what kind of wings, just believe
And they’ll surely become gold

あまのじゃくバッタ (Amanojaku batta) – Contrary grasshopper

Performed by Team 8.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

Contrary grasshopper
From my heart’s shadow
Contrary grasshopper
Jumped with a pyon
Contrary grasshopper
How bothersome
Contrary grasshopper

“Study, please study”
My motivation drains at that
“Clean up your room”
And I want to mess it up
Why?

“Stop playing with your phone”
I LINE all through the night
“Don’t skip tuition class”
I pretend to go, and meet some friends instead
Pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon
Jumping the opposite way

No matter how I old I get
I have the “teen disease”
Leave me alone! Leave me alone!
Even alone
I can survive
Everything adults say is so noisy
Puberty is tough
You can talk, but I won’t understand

Even if you say you love me
I can’t react with an honest attitude
When I see you, I turn away
Though I really love you too

Ouch ouch ouch, too painful
Ouch ouch ouch ouch
Ouch ouch ouch, too painful
It’s unexpected love, but…

Not not not understandable
Right is left, left is right
Up is down and down is up

“Wear your uniform properly”
And I want to shorten my skirt
“No make-up please”
And I want to put on eyelid glue
Why?

“Remember your 9 p.m. curfew”
Let’s play till 10 before going home
“Listen to your parents”
Nagging makes me want to rebel

Pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon pyon
Can’t jump straight

I understand, but
Sorry, it’s a “rebellious phase”
Can’t help it! Can’t help it!
Everyone
Surely experiences it
Unable to do anything until we become adults
A delicate age
Don’t wanna be a good girl

Even if you say you love me
I can’t react with an honest attitude
When I see you, I turn away
Though I really love you too

Even if you say you love me
How should I respond?
I’m glad, but I want to escape
Though I really want to say I love you too

Ouch ouch ouch, it hurts
Ouch ouch ouch ouch
Ouch ouch ouch, it hurts
It’s mutual love, but…

It’s it’s it’s a misunderstanding
YES is NO, NO is YES
Love is hate, hate is love

Contrary grasshopper
From my heart’s shadow
Contrary grasshopper
Jumped with a pyon

Contrary grasshopper
How bothersome
Contrary grasshopper
Escaped with a pyon

Contrary grasshopper
On my palm
Contrary grasshopper
Jumped with a pyon

Contrary grasshopper
Catching my feelings
Contrary grasshopper
Please understand

Pyon!

お姉さんの独り言 (Onee-san no hitorigoto) – Lady’s monologue

Performed by Team K.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

Come over here
Right before my eyes
If you say that’s embarrassing
Then no amount of magic
Can get love to start
No matter how much time passes
We can’t kiss
Come over here
Right before my eyes
If you just watch from where you are
I can love you
But I’ll be waiting in vain
You’re my junior by how many years
It doesn’t matter, does it?

Your slightly tight
School uniform is cute
You’ve grown too tall
So you’re always stooping

Every morning at the bus stop
You look at me, don’t you?
I can see through you
You’re interested in me

Someday, surely
You’ll call out to me
I’ve been looking forward to that, but…
When our eyes meet, you look away
A boy more serious than you look
I want you to pay attention

Pluck up your courage
Believe in this lady
If you’re scared by that
You’ll never get a girlfriend
If you
Don’t ever take a risk
You’ll never woo me, you know?
Pluck up your courage
Believe in this lady
Even if you watch from a distance
You’ll never get a taste
Of delicious fruit
I’m your senior by how many years
It doesn’t matter, does it?

Just like a cool protagonist
In a manga
The high school girls
Get flustered around you, but…

You’re not interested
In girls your age, right?
They’re not enough, are they?
Adult love is stimulating
If you want your first experience
Just beg me for it

Come over here
Right before my eyes
If you say that’s embarrassing
Then no amount of magic
Can get love to start
No matter how much time passes
We can’t kiss
Come over here
Right before my eyes
If you just watch from where you are
I can love you
But I’ll be waiting in vain
You’re my junior by how many years
It doesn’t matter, does it?

Embracing such delusions
Boys bleed from their noses
Until the day they become adults

Pluck up your courage
Believe in this lady
If you’re scared by that
You’ll never get a girlfriend
If you
Don’t ever take a risk
You’ll never woo me, you know?
Pluck up your courage
Believe in this lady
Even if you watch from a distance
You’ll have to wait for a taste
Of delicious fruit
Then, as if nothing has changed
The bus arrives on time
And normalcy gets on and runs
Would you like an older lady?

マドンナの選択 (Madonna no sentaku) – Madonna’s choice

Performed by Renacchi sousenkyo senbatsu.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

Suddenly
When you called my name
My head went blank
I mean, I’ve never had
Such an experience before
Yes
In our classroom
You sit at the furthest seat from me
An existence I can’t reach
That was
What I used to think

“Will you help me out
With the culture festival?”
Standing in the light from the window
You tugged on my hand
All the boys around us
Are taken aback as well
Jealousy directed towards me for the first time
Somehow feels great

Why me?
There are other guys…
A storm of questions around class
Madonna’s choice

Somehow
I was chosen by you
My heart is thundering
I’ve never been able to say it, but
I’ve spent 3 years harboring feelings for you
Surely, just a little
My wish must have reached you
As long as we don’t give up
Someday
Good things will happen

After the night festivities
We will return to
Being mere classmates
Yes, somehow, I anticipate that
Even so, being with you
Makes everything fun
Just for a while longer
Let me feel good like this

Why me?
I can’t guess
My comrades boo loudly
Madonna’s whim

Suddenly
When you called my name
My head went blank
I mean, I’ve never had
Such an experience before
Yes
In our classroom
You sit at the furthest seat from me
An existence I can’t reach
That was
What I used to think

Why did you choose me?
I asked nonchalantly
“Because I wanted to talk to you”
You answered, blushing

Somehow
I was chosen by you
My heart is thundering
I’ve never been able to say it, but
I’ve spent 3 years harboring feelings for you
Surely, just a little
My wish must have reached you
As long as we don’t give up
Someday
Good things will happen

やさしい place (Yasashii place) – Gentle place

Performed by Team A.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

Gentle place
This place somehow calms me down
When painful things happen
I come here alone
Always
Gentle place

In that corner
Of the concrete city
A single tree stands
As if pointing towards the blue sky
Its existence

Behind a building where the sun doesn’t shine
Where noone stops their pace
Left behind by the flow of time
Its life

People are born, stand and walk
Then stumble and know pain
Every time we stand again, we are afraid
And want to stand still

Healing place
Somehow, my tears overflow
The bag of emotions already broken
Abruptly
Healing place
Now, when I touch the trunk
Slowly take in a breath
Slowly let out a breath
And feel relaxed

Amidst the North wind
Its leaves remain unshed
The tree lives on
Sorrowful rain pours down upon
Its natural form

In this life not only filled with good things
Not putting the blame on something else
Spreading roots against predetermined destiny
Its strength

For what do we lose our way
Feel anger, or lament?
We have become used to getting hurt
So we close our eyes

Gentle place
Cuddling close with my broken heart
The unchanging scenery, yes, embraces me
Quietly
Gentle place
Just surrounded by the branches
Please stay beside me for awhile
Please stay here for awhile
Warmth

Healing place
Somehow, my tears overflow
The bag of emotions already broken
Abruptly
Healing place
Now, when I touch the trunk
Slowly take in a breath
Slowly let out a breath
And feel relaxed

君を君を君を… (Kimi wo kimi wo kimi wo…) – You you you…

Performed by Jisedai senbatsu.

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

In the schoolyard after club activities
You sat reading
Alone, as if killing time
Who are you waiting for?

Under the zelkova tree
Such a conspicuous spot
Welcoming the twilight
Long hair flowing in the wind
Your uniform so dazzling

I’ve always chased after you with my gaze
This is the first time I’m feeling this way
We’ve never spoken before, but why
Is my heart screaming so strongly?

You you you
I surely surely love you
I mean, I feel
Such jealousy
You you you
You being
Dominated by someone
I envy him

I know that this is
Sorrowful romance
A boyfriend’s presence
Whenever I pass by your side
My heart clenches

So that our gazes don’t meet accidentally
I gaze at you from afar
Hiding from an impossible romance
I wanted strongly to turn back

I I I
Love you most most
Yes, in this world
I won’t lose to anyone
I I I
Promise
That I won’t make you wait
For me after class

Who is your boyfriend?
I’m most interested in finding out
As I watched you constantly from afar
In the end, noone came
And you prepared to head home
You were waiting for me

You you you
I surely surely love you
I mean, I feel
Such jealousy
You you you
You being
Dominated by someone
I envy him

Love you, love you, love you
I love you
With me, with me, with me
Head home together with me

You you you…

365日の紙飛行機 (Sanbyaku rokujuugo nichi no kamihikouki) – 365 days of paper airplanes

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

Looking up at the morning sky
On this day known as today
I hope I can spend it smiling
I gently wished

Sometimes, rain falls
And tears overflow, but
Days when things don’t go according to plan
Make me want to strive tomorrow

The dream I’ve always had
Is to be someone
Who is free to do whatever she wants
That’s my dream

Life is a paper airplane
Flying on with my wishes
With all my might against the wind
Just progressing
Rather than compete for distance
How I flew, where do I fly to
Those are the most important things
Come, like my heart
365 days

How many stars can I see?
Or is it a night where nothing can be seen?
When I can’t bring up my energy
I’ll talk to someone

Humans are not
As alone as they think
Just unable to notice
The kindness right beside them

Life is a paper airplane
Flying on with love
These wings spread with confidence
Everyone is looking up
Even if you don’t know how to fold one
You’ll be able to fly before you know it
That’s hope, a motivation
Ahh, let’s have fun
365 days

Life is a paper airplane
Flying on with my wishes
With all my might against the wind
Just progressing
Rather than compete for distance
How I flew, where do I fly to
Those are the most important things
Come, like my heart
365 days

Fly on!
Just fly!
Fly on!
Just fly!
Fly on!
Just fly!

唇にBe My Baby (Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby) – Be My Baby with those lips

from Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby single.

——

WOWOW (WOWOW) I love you, but (I can’t say the words)
This (this) heart is sorrowful (what should I do?)
WOWOW (WOWOW) Let’s imagine
Come, say Be My Baby with those lips

The curve of the winter sky wind (swerves)
The bus approaches on time (in slow motion)
Leaning against the guard rail (two of us)
Listening to our smartphones

The door opens, and in order
With one step, we board
Following behind someone else
Suddenly, I turn around
And pull you close by the arm
To steal a kiss from you!

WOWOW (WOWOW) Because we’re friends (I can only gaze at you)
Already (already) my breath is painful (I feel like exploding)
Now (now) I’ll bring up my courage
Come, Be My Baby like in my dreams

To the seats right at the back (we sit)
And gaze at the scenery outside (it’s slightly awkward…)
The sweet sensation from just now (gently)
I recall it again and again

With the momentum of the swaying bus
I leaned towards you
In the moment you stood back up
And crossed before my face
Your lips stopped
And met mine in a teasing kiss

WOWOW (WOWOW) I love you, but (I think it won’t come true)
Always (always) I’ve hesitated (I was a coward)
WOWOW (WOWOW) What’s stolen away was…
Yes, a Be My Baby from you

WOWOW (WOWOW) I love you, but (I can’t say the words)
This (this) heart is sorrowful (what should I do?)
WOWOW (WOWOW) Let’s imagine
Come, say Be My Baby with those lips

KISS & KISS, on my right shoulder (you leaned your head, pretending to sleep)
KISS & KISS, your earphones (I hear music sounding from them)
KISS & KISS, for the two of us
It may be the ultimate LOVE SONG
