セツナツ、ダイバー (Setsunatsu, daibaa) – Sad summer, diver

from Setsunatsu, Diver single.

——

Staring at the August calendar, I let out a sigh
I count the days we spent as friends, to the end of summer

On the sunset road home, our steps out of sync
Before I knew it, you were walking in front
I just want to pounce onto that awkward back of your

Close to you! At all times
I’m also close by, no longer lost
Ah, if only we can spend the next summer together, forever
Glittering happy summer days!
I want to give chase, want to say maybe… “LOVE”

In the middle of a fight, you suddenly laugh
The sign for making up is always determined by your smile

Anxious, I somehow just push the boundaries
Filled with dishonest words
Even though my true feelings are right here

Close to you! Anywhere we are
I can feel you, even when we can’t meet
Ah, if only I can say it this one, surely
I’ll be honest and say, I’m in love with you!

The memory of your profile, lit up by
The fireworks we launched that night
Remains branded onto my eyes even now, and my heart hurts
Such a romantic summer will never come again

Close to you! At all times
I’m also close by, no longer lost
Ah, if only we can spend the next summer together, forever
Glittering happy summer days!
I want to give chase to your back maybe… “LOVE”

少女アステリア (Shoujo asuteria) – Maiden Asteria

from Setsunatsu, Diver single.

——

In the midst of the sighing crowd
Maiden Asteria runs on with bare feet
Not wanting to fit into the role decided for her
“Too many rules and regulations, leave me alone”

What’s important is, here,
Held tightly in my hand
I’m not afraid of anything
The girls around me are so well-behaved
But I don’t want to become a bird in a cage

Don’t get in my way, come, open up the path, yay yay yay
It’s not a bad thing to be myself, right?
Goodbye to those superficial values
That stop me from saying “I like it” when I want to
Let me go on ahead
And someday, I’ll become a shining star

Gripping tightly onto the ticket I’d hidden
Deep in my drawer, I aim for Asteria
I’m not lonely on my journey
I won’t speak to anyone, it’s a secret trip

The falling petals land on my palm
It’s something real, not a dream
Bidding goodbye to this rusted city
I spread my wings to that wide sky

Don’t tell me what to do, just let me be, yay yay yay
There’s nobody who can understand me
Goodbye to those superficial rules
That determine what I’m not allowed to do
I’m just so fed up with them
The birds soaring in the sky are calling out to me

Imitation, imitation
Escaping from this made-up world
To that free sky

Don’t get in my way, come, open up the path, yay yay yay
It’s not a bad thing to be myself, right?
Don’t tell me what to do, just let me be, yay yay yay
There’s nobody who can understand me
Goodbye to those superficial values
That stop me from saying “I like it” when I want to
Let me go on ahead
And someday, I’ll become a shining star

“I don’t need anything” by saying these words
I want to show you my strong self
I’ve continued to run, yes, even in my dreams
Because I felt that I would lose if I stopped

Ambiguous (I wanna meet you)
Self, no more (I wanna hold you)
I’m a new me (I wanna change for you)
Not lost anymore!

Higher, higher, if I can fly higher
In this sky which I hope to show to you
No matter how many times I’m crushed by failure
Even if there’re days when I want to cry, or run away
But, the dream I’ve always, always wanted to achieve
Because of it, I’ve managed to come so far
Someday, I’ll
High jump with you!
Without letting go of our held hands

This heartbeat is slowly growing stronger
Shining sparkling light on our page

Important (I wanna meet you)
Treasures (I wanna hold you)
From now on (I wanna change for you)
Let’s make more!

Surely, I feel that I’ve finally found
Something which I don’t want to give up on
With you beside me
A high jump!
These feelings connect us

Splitting evenly with you
These fragments of courage
Do a long jump and fly, in these young days
I need to grow strong
So that I can smile
Gripping your hand, we’ll fly, Yeah!!

The dream I’ve always, always wanted to achieve
Because of it, I’ve managed to come so far
Someday, I’ll
High jump with you!
Without letting go of our held hands

Higher, higher, if I can fly higher
In this sky which I hope to show to you
No matter how many times I’m crushed by failure
Even if there’re days when I want to cry, or run away
But, the dream I’ve always, always wanted to achieve
Because of it, I’ve managed to endure so much
The time I once promised you
I’ll grasp it now
Another high jump to the sky!!
