夢の名残り (Yume no nagori) – Traces of a dream

Performed by Watanabe Miyuki.

from Boku wa inai single.

——

Within the darkness
The moon in the sky
Finally splinters
The me reflected upon
The surface of the river
What is she thinking of?

To disappear while still beautiful
That wish is enough

Traces of a dream
When I close my eyes
Days from the past come to mind
Sparkling with dazzling light
All my memories
Are shaped like the moon

Time passes
And the moon waxes
Just like on that day
Humans all
Will change
And grow

The crescent moon I see now
Is still wishing

Dreams disappear
Then swell up again
They will return someday
Just like me, who is leaving this place
In order to do
What I want to do…

Traces of a dream
When I close my eyes
Days from the past come to mind
Sparkling with dazzling light
All my memories
Are shaped like the moon

Regretful traces
With this parting
The night sky turns lonely
If you are going to shed tears
Then I wish you’d wait for
A continuation of the dream

ショートカットの夏 (Shouto katto no natsu) – Short-cut summer

Performed by Sutou Ririka.

from Boku wa inai single.

——

At the water’s edge
You turned back
And gave a gravure smile
Just like an idol

From here
I toss out a frisbee
Shouting for you to catch it
As I make you mine

Dazzling sunshine
Soaring through the blue sky
A mysterious disk is I LOVE YOU!
Blown by the flows of the wind
My heart never gives up

Falling in love with you
And your short-cut hair
When this summer passes
And your hair reaches your shoulders
We’ll become adults
The last season

The encroaching ripples
Suddenly grab your feet
Like a frame-by-frame playback
You stumbled

Falling into the sea
Our frisbee
Don’t wanna lose it I MISS YOU!
You totally can’t swim, yet
You wade into the water

I love you
And your short-cut hair
It’s dangerous out there
I’ll go to save you right now
So just stay there
As the you this year…

Your unadorned face
Without any make-up
Slowly charms me more and more
I can’t stop anymore

Falling in love with you
And your short-cut hair
When this summer passes
And your hair reaches your shoulders
We’ll become adults
The last season

妄想マシーン3号機 (Mousou mashiin sangouki) – Delusion machine No.3

Performed by Team BII.

from Boku wa inai single.

——

I’m interested in her
She’s so cute

This love container in my chest, just how many can it fit?
Because I’ve become interested in girls aside from you
Of course, I know that you are my true love
But I feel that I can still love one more person

As if sensing my plan
You smiled at my side
“Stop having foolish dreams”

Delusion machine No.3
Even if it’s switched ON now
My head just
Fills itself with images without my consent
In reality, I’m a coward
Without the courage to do it
I just want to imagine cheating on you
I’m sorry

It’s so small, this love container, filled up all too quickly
Overflowing just with you, there’s no more capacity
If only I had a little more space
I think I may need to be a bigger man for that

“It doesn’t matter how big your container gets
It’s full with love for me
So don’t do unnecessary things”

Delusion machine No.3
It’s stopped working again
Even though I’ve upgraded
But you always destroy it
I don’t need this
I’ve removed the thermostat, but
In the end, I am still controlled
By my queen

Delusion machine No.4
Come, let’s develop further
So that you can’t read me
I need to tighten my security
My heart’s stealth mode

Delusion machine No.3
Even if it’s switched ON now
My head just
Fills itself with images without my consent
In reality, I’m a coward
Without the courage to do it
I just want to imagine cheating on you
I’m sorry

Hey, overlook it
Just this once

Delusions last
(An instant)
I love you
(Forever)

最後の五尺玉 (Saigo no goshakudama) – The final No.5 firework ball

Performed by Team M.

from Boku wa inai single.

——

Into the pitch black nightsky
It rises with a sizzle
When the fireball crowds out
The fragments of stars
I love that moment the most

Bringing chairs out to the veranda
Stuffing ourselves with cold watermelon
The two of us watched
The final firework show

Our romance
Is a rising No.5 firework ball
After blooming beautifully
It will fade in transcience
What’s left in the sky
Are the afterimages of dreams
Full of good memories
With no regrets

A large ring of silver
In that moment when
The petals scatter all over
Do you feel the loneliness?
If only they can bloom a little longer…

Leaning against the railing
“It’s over”, you whispered
With weeping cherry blossoms of tears
In your eyes

This sparkling love
Is an unforgettable No.5 firework ball
The sun from that summer
Shone on those dazzling days
In the silence after the festival
Even the wind has stopped
Only the electric fan in our room
Turns its head again and again

Our romance
Is a rising No.5 firework ball
After blooming beautifully
It will fade in transcience
What’s left in the sky
Are the afterimages of dreams
Full of good memories
With no regrets

空から愛が降って来る (Sora kara ai ga futte kuru) – Love falls from the sky

Performed by Team N.

from Boku wa inai single.

LA LA LA LA…

Falling down
From the sky
It’s not just rain
So what is it?
Walking down the same
Path as yesterday
I noticed it
Falling from above

That something (WOW WOW)
Which couldn’t be seen (WOW WOW)
Starts to gather (WOW WOW)
At the bottom of my heart

Love is (love is) a miracle
Suddenly (suddenly) you feel it
Coming from somewhere, so fluffy
Like pollen
Love is (love is) an accident
Carried by (carried by) the wind
Precious feelings land
Emotion moves
Feelings well up
I want to see you…

LA LA LA LA…

Everyone
Is on guard
Shielding their hearts
With umbrellas
Even though good things
Can happen otherwise…
Yet they avoid the rain
Ignoring it

Yes, sometimes (WOW WOW)
Good weather (WOW WOW)
With blue skies (WOW WOW)
Can turn bad

Romance is (romance is) a phenomenon
Changing (changing) without our knowledge
A sweet scene
Appearing before our eyes
Romance is (romance is) an illusion
Always (always) prayed for
Passion’s mirage
A new world
Dreaming of destiny
Maybe I am…

Love is (love is) a miracle
Suddenly (suddenly) you feel it
Coming from somewhere, so fluffy
Like pollen
Love is (love is) an accident
Carried by (carried by) the wind
Precious feelings land
Emotion moves
Feelings well up
I want to see you…

LA LA LA LA…
LA LA LA LA…

今ならば (Ima naraba) – Right now

Performed by Sayamiruki.

from Boku wa inai single.

——

How many times
Have I walked this path
In order to meet you…
Standing at the street corner
And looking out for you?

Time brings anticipation
Just from its mere passing
I wanted to
Speak to you, but
You pass me by

Right now, I can tell you
Everything I never showed you
Right now, yes, with honesty
I can open my heart

Unable to find the place
We promised to meet at
I wandered lost alone
But I was mistaken
In thinking that my map
Was wrong

Love has left me behind
I only realized it too late
I knew you were
Someone precious, but
I couldn’t say it…

Is it too late now?
To deliver these feelings
It may be embarrassing now, but
I want to see you. I can still make it, right?

You and I
Are somewhat alike
Hating to lose
More than others
Unknowingly
We fought
Thus
Creating a distance between us

Right now, I can tell you
Everything I never showed you
Right now, yes, with honesty
I can open my heart

From now on, I’ll say it forever
Even if we walk down different paths
From now on, I’ll look up at the sky
And always go to meet you

僕はいない (Boku wa inai) – I’m not there

from Boku wa inai single.

——

I’m not there
At that summer beach
Who are you watching the ocean with?

As the pressure drops
I immediately know
Why I feel so sad
As numerous typhoons
Pass through
My feelings for you will disappear, right?

I’m not there
Near you…
The waves break and retreat as if screaming
Who does the hot sun
Shine for?
Our place before the tent renting boats
Still remains the same, yet…

Even as I line up the reasons
It doesn’t form an answer
Love is over
Like a red flag
Prohibiting swimming
I stop myself from turning back

I’m not there
Everything’s an illusion
It’s a cooler summer than last year
The blue sea
Is still the same now
Reflecting the days of love when we made merry
Brightly with light

Where should it spend summer?
This T-shirt I bought that day
Maybe we are watching the same sea
From different beaches

I’m not there
Near you…
We would have kissed back then, but
You’re not here
Everything’s an illusion
Telling me the end of this dream
Love is transcient
Like waves coming and going
Along our horizon
The setting sun remains silent
