From L single + Love songs album.

Hey, for all the loneliness, pain, guilt
And love up till now, from my heart, thank you

Hey, I could not say this until now
uh- If I had the words, for this life, thank you

That day when I couldn’t treasure myself
The one who got hurt wasn’t me

I can’t forget that day when I first saw tears
On that always bright and cheerful profile

“I love you as you are, I want to protect you”
I’ve met a person who said that to me, and from now on, we’ll set off together
No matter what sorrow will befall us, no matter what happiness we’ll encounter
We promised to share every moment and live on together
So somehow watch over me

Hey, for everything that will happen in the future
uh- I’ll be grateful, from now till forever, thank you

There were nights when we quarrelled, shouting in tears
Running away from home

Even so, in the end, I know that
You are the one who understands me most

I’ve realized that the one whom you met and loved, sometimes long ago
Somehow resembles the person whom I love now

I’ve realized that the one whom you met and loved, sometimes long ago
Somehow resembles the person whom I love now
Like that impulsive behaviour, I’ve seen that somewhere before
And when I realized where, a single teardrop slid down my cheek
So warm

Hey, for all the loneliness, pain, guilt
And love up till now, from my heart, thank you

From SEVEN DAYS WAR single.

Covered by ayumi hamasaki in crossroad single + Love songs album.

“Revolution” The word I wrote in my notebook
Means surmounting the wall obstructing tomorrow
Broken pieces of glass, the knife scars on the table
I can’t ask for reasons, so I just banged on the closed door

I don’t want to destroy anything
I just want to find that something
I don’t want to go against anything
I just want to make my own choices

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Until I can capture our rightful place with this hand
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live honestly

“Communication” A voice that can’t reach
Worn out shoes, a tattered shirt
I cannot abide by rules nor justice
If I do not know what they mean

I don’t want to fight with anyone
I just want to find myself
I don’t want to hate anyone
I just want to express my thoughts

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
I won’t surrender our rightful place to anyone
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live without shame

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Our rightful place, with this hand, SO DO IT NOW
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live honestly

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Our rightful place, not to anyone, I’LL NEVER GIVE UP
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live without shame

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
So that I can live honestly

The scenery we will see from now on and that which we have imagined in our dreams
How far will they differ from each other? There are surely times when we wonder about that

That time when I stood at the beginning of the crossroads
I wondered if the path I chose was the right one
That time when I stood opposite the crossroads
I wondered what would be at the other end

But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet

The one who pretended to be strong so she would not be hurt
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change, some things I have changed
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?

All these nostalgic memories are scattered all over this road
Suddenly thrust down this path, I felt not only warmth, but pain too

On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is it exactly that I’ve lost
On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is this exactly that is increasing

But this very moment I’ve spent thinking, look, it’s become the past too

The profile of that girl who just passed me by looked like someone
I knew from sometime ago. I know this, but why
Can’t I even call out? It’s as if I have no voice
I could only look on her back as she walked away

But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet

The one who pretended to be so strong so she would not be hurt, just for that
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change and some things I have changed and
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?

Kanji Lyrics

From MOON/blossom single + Love songs album.

——

You’ve really been crying all this while, deep in your heart
But you hid it well. That about you has not changed

You were smiling in that moment when I met you
That was just a kind lie, your best attempt at strength

We have always known, there was never a day we forgot
It would have been better to not know the implication of becoming adults

Yet we have begun to walk. We don’t need reasons to do so
It’s alright, it’s alright now, and that’s the only thing we know for sure

I truly understand, your pain reaches me as always
Because the promise I made to share it with you was not a lie

We have been protecting these colourful blossoms together
So let us continue kindly watching over them until the last petal falls

And so we have begun to walk, clumsily, with hands held
This one step which we have just made will become the moment that changes the future

Yet we have begun to walk. We don’t need reasons to do so
It’s alright, it’s alright now, and that’s the only thing we know for sure

And so we have begun to walk, clumsily, with hands held
This one step which we have just made will become the moment that changes the future

From MOON/blossom single + Love songs album.

The night we met was lost in the midst of tumult
And as dreams and reality came and went, it vanished like an illusion

That night, the MOON was too far away. My memories, too, are blurry
Your figure appeared so dim. That was why I thought I could forget you

My once-hurt heart robbed me of the courage to gently wipe away
With this hand, the first tears you showed to me
I’m sorry

Hey, I’ll give you a gentle song
So that you can believe in eternity, for eternity
So don’t look at me with such sad eyes anymore
Don’t ask me with a quavering voice
“Do you love me?”

The MOON we looked up at seemed close enough to touch, if we only reached out
It was so beautiful that it hurt, and I almost cried

I closed my eyes and promised, that if this wish would come true
I won’t need anything anymore
Nothing at all

Hey, I’ll give you a gentle song
So that you can believe in eternity, for eternity
So please somehow try to smile
And tell me that you are happy
Just once more

Hey, I’ll give you a gentle song
So that you can believe in eternity, for eternity
So don’t look at me with such sad eyes anymore
Don’t hide your quavering voice, don’t ask
“Hey, do you love me?”

I’ll give you a gentle song
So that you can believe in eternity, for eternity
So please somehow try to smile
And tell me that you are happy
Just once more
