Pretending to work the cash register
While stealing glances at me
My club’s senior is working
Part-time at a convenience store

Some girls have claimed that
They are his girlfriend
So to find out the truth
I had intruded into this place

If I let him escape out of kindness
This won’t be solved
So I’ll put an end to this indecisiveness

Who do you love out of us 3 girls?
No hard feelings, just tell me clearly
The ones who aren’t chosen will soon back down
So please show your true feelings

The senior is afraid
Having understood the situation
As I suddenly cornered him
Leaving him with no escape

A troubled hunk
May be pathetic, but
It stirs my maternal instinct

Who do you want? Let the other 2 leave
If you answer now, there won’t be any problems
Choosing 1 of 3 should be easy
Don’t compare and deceive me any longer

He gazes at me with imploring eyes
Even if he is asking for help
It just makes me want to tease him more

Who do you love out of us 3 girls?
No hard feelings, just tell me clearly
The ones who aren’t chosen will soon back down
So please show your true feelings

光合成希望 (Kougousei kibou) – Photosynthetic hope

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

“Sunflowers really don’t suit you”
Someone told me one day
Hurting me
“You must hate the midsummer sun, right?
Hiding away in your room all day…

They don’t know the real me
Who loves to run and be chased by the wind

Photosynthetic
Bring me out everywhere
I want to bathe
In the strong sunlight
It doesn’t matter how sunburnt my pale skin gets
In the back of my heart
For the cowardice
To respond to light
And fresh air
I just
Want to change

“You must be a good girl”
Why does everyone always think
That of me?
“Is it because you like to read manga?
Like someone whose room curtains are always drawn”

True, I am shy
And don’t have any friends

Photosynthetic
Beckon me everywhere
I want to go to
An unknown world
Another self is looking forward to meeting me somewhere
To let my unused
Chlorophyll
Become the nourishment of life
And shine
With energy
Like leaves

Photosynthetic
Bring me out everywhere
I want to bathe
In the strong sunlight
It doesn’t matter how sunburnt my pale skin gets
In the back of my heart
For the cowardice
To respond to light
And fresh air
I am

Photosynthetic
Beckon me everywhere
I want to go to
An unknown world
Another self is looking forward to meeting me somewhere

空気感 (Kuukikan) – Atmosphere

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

I’ve fallen
Even more in love with you
Why? Even more…

When you’re drinking bitter
Cleansing juice
Or laughing at seemingly
Boring manga

Such random and useless
Everyday events are so charming
Even the most trivial things
Just seem so lovable

Beside you
Time passes
Our sunny place
What do I like about you?
Well, I don’t really know
Beside you
I gaze upon you
With only feelings of love
I don’t need words or anything
The atmosphere here just relaxes me
Somehow…

Pressing down on the arch of your foot
And hurting yourself
Or suddenly just listening to the roar of
Ariana Grande

Your actions that I can’t understand
Are so refreshing, I won’t get tired of it
Even though we’ve been together for 2 years
I still discover new things

Why?
As if piling up in my chest
Calming me down
Discarding enthusiasm and being myself
A pleasant relationship
Why?
I’ve fallen in love with you
Even more, and more…
I already love you at MAX level, but
The atmosphere here still
Needs getting used to

Beside you
Time passes
Our sunny place
What do I like about you?
Well, I don’t really know
Beside you
I gaze upon you
With only feelings of love
I don’t need words or anything
The atmosphere here just relaxes me
Somehow…

Isn’t it magical?

欲望のリインカーネーション (Yokubou no riinkaaneeshon) – Desire’s reincarnation

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go
You know what I want, gotta give me some more
Need you right now and I won’t let you go, go, go
I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go, go, go
Open the door, now we’re ready to go, go, go
Boy I need your love, gotta give me some more

Before I knew it, I was dead
Rejected by the people important to me…
I can’t help being alive
In this disappointing world

Toxic substances are sleeping
In the chemical factory
As if lying in wait
With hope abandoned

Desire has awakened
WOW WOW WOW
Raising its voice of revival
WOW WOW Love me do!
Even if I forget sorrow
WOW WOW WOW
I remember the love
I can’t forget about you

I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go
You know what I want, gotta give me some more
Need you right now and I won’t let you go, go, go
I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go, go, go

The moon, deemed useless
Is conveniently hidden by clouds
Above the black sky
It must be despairing

All the ugly things
Bury them deep into the ground
So they will not be seen
And fade into oblivion

Desire is breathing
WOW WOW WOW
Emotions are seething
WOW WOW Nobody knows…
Even if that memory is erased
WOW WOW WOW
My instinct will know
Come light the fire in me

My heart is like a zombie
And cannot be stopped by death
Locked in chains
Torn and lost

Desire has awakened
WOW WOW WOW
Raising its voice of revival
WOW WOW Love me do!
Even if I forget sorrow
WOW WOW WOW
I remember the love
I can’t forget about you

I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go
You know what I want, gotta give me some more
Need you right now and I won’t let you go, go, go
I can’t wait ’til tonight, baby let’s go

太陽に口説かれて (Taiyou ni kudokarete) – Coaxed by the sun

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

Ride on!

The people I usually hung out with
Have invited me to the beach
But I was hesitant

But since the girl I was close to
Was tugging on my arm
I couldn’t turn her down…

I don’t want to change into my swimwear
Don’t want to drink tequila
Not that (not that)
Not this (not this)
Sorry, no thank you

Since it’s summer, then just let loose
Your guard is too tough
“Don’t hide under the tree’s shade”
The sun whispers
Aah
Scorching! Scorching!
Scorching! Scorching!
Scorching! Scorching!
I’m being coaxed

Ride on!

The sun has completely set
And the stars have started to shine
Shall we finally head back?

Before I knew it, everyone around me
Had paired off into couples
What a strange turn of events

Romance won’t begin
Don’t come any closer
No to that (no to that)
Not now (not now)
I mean, it’s just too soon

Since it’s summer, let’s enjoy ourselves more
It’s the season of passion
“Take off the pareo wrapped around you”
Even the night wind is rustling
Aah
Dizzying! Dizzying!
Dizzying! Dizzying!
Dizzying! Dizzying!
Emotions are wavering

Won’t just follow the course of events
I’m not good at flirting
Just a little (just a little)
A little more (a little more)
I want to know you more

Summer is always so irresponsible
Moving on right after it has burned out
Sunburnt skin will start to hurt soon
I don’t need those memories
Aah

Since it’s summer, then just let loose
Your guard is too tough
“Don’t hide under the tree’s shade”
The sun whispers
Aah
Scorching! Scorching!
Scorching! Scorching!
Scorching! Scorching!
I’m being coaxed

Ride on!
But, but, but, but
I won’t be convinced

きっかけ (Kikkake) – Chance

from Sorezore no isu album.

——

In the middle of the intersection
I become anxious
How long will that signal
Remain green?

Suddenly, it starts to blink
Is it hurrying me on?
Before I knew it, my steps
Quickened a little

As if it had nothing to do
With our own intentions
Every one of us
Dash out as one
“Why are you so flustered, as if being chased?” I laugh
I look on objectively
Hating it

Determination’s chance
Is not theory
It always begins with this heart’s impulse
While resisting
Being pushed along
Being alive is a choice
The only choice
You can make

Crossing the pedestrian crossing
I always wonder
If only my heart
Had a signal as well

Please go, then
Please stop
If those are the rules
Then we can all live without trouble, but…

I don’t want to continue
Waiting for someone’s instructions
When I want to run
I want to step out on my own
I want to be a person with a strong will
I’ll search for the me with
One more tomorrow

Determination’s chance
Is not limited by time
To believe in the future rather than think about it
I don’t want to regret
So I’ll do it the way I want
I don’t know what’s right
Life only
Happens once

Look, someone
In the crowd is running out
And everyone runs out too, as if lured
Unable to determine
For themselves
I wish for something
To give me a push in the back
A chance

Determination’s chance
Is not theory
It always begins with this heart’s impulse
While resisting
Being pushed along
Being alive is a choice
The only choice
You can make

Determination comes from ourselves
I’ll live my life…
The way I want
