LOVE TRIP – AKB48

from LOVE TRIP single.

——

The city that we know
Just where did it go?
Vacant plots, small knolls, all gone
A scenery we’ve never seen before spread before us

Modifying our memories
We had become adults before we knew it
To the past or future?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love has always somehow been overwritten
But I remember that first sorrow
Under the summer sky
Where I met you

You’re always smiling kindly
In our graduation photo
Whenever my heart broke
I gazed upon it countless times, a continuation of a dream

Back then, what kind of future
Did we imagine with much anticipation?
I can’t remember

I wanna do
LOVE TRIP
To search for you…
LOVE TRIP
Once again
A youth where we talked only of ideals
You were there
LOVE TRIP
What are you doing?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve never been able to tell you
And I continue to regret to this day
About how I hid my feelings away…
If I don’t say “I love you”
Summer won’t end

What should I say if I meet you?
At a corner of the schoolyard, just like on that day
Now that I’ve become an adult
Have I become more honest?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love never disappears, just covered up by the heart
So sometimes, I want to open it up
Under the blue summer sky
That makes me think of you

悲劇のマッチョマン (Higeki no Macho Man) – The tragic Macho Man


from Higeki no Macho Man single.

——

Anticipating something out of the extension of these days of fighting, always waiting
Upon the battlefield of repeating days, we ingest protein and put up a resistance
In this unrealistic state, we’re dyed a subliminal black
Getting hurt again and again, superhuman recovery, our hearts are like a macho man’s now

Instant hero
Instant realism

Having grown stronger, unable to realize
That our happiness lies in the joy we have right here and now
We grow numb, our lost emotions a tragedy

Thinking of what to do tomorrow, there’s really nothing that interesting…
Teeming with entertainment, knock it all down, macho man

Instant funny
Instant fantasy

Now, just desiring a future
Far more stimulating than ever, our lost emotions
Where have they gone? This indifferent feeling is a tragedy

Oh! Yeah!! Can’t reach your heart. Oh! Yeah!! Fading sympathy
Oh! Yeah!! The emotion that you had. Oh! Yeah!! Can’t feel it now…
Oh! Yeah!! Your steel-like heart. Oh! Yeah!! Forged from stubborn training
Oh! Yeah!! Can’t be easily. Oh! Yeah!! Penetrated now…

Having grown stronger, can’t even see
That our happiness lies in the joy we have right here and now

Now, just desiring a future
Far more stimulating than ever, our lost emotions
Where have they gone? This indifferent feeling is a tragedy

Don’t want to forget, this miracle of love right here

抹殺ロック (Massatsu rokku) – Erasure Rock


from Tenjou rakuen album.

——

How many losses as it been? Fragmented SHADOW
Theories of idealism lurking within the curriculum
Feeling doubts about what has been assigned
What you’ve lost is your identity

Even when you’ve always been told that it’s your fault

Dancing NOISE, you strummed out the sound
The words riding on the sound are so dazzling
You hurl abuse at heartless disasters
Decorated illusions, justice has lost its meaning, right?

Shouting out your standard phrase with pride
Theories of hope do not exist within the curriculum
Puffed up with pride from things with certainty
You’ve lost your identity

A hero opening up a path towards the future he’s always wished for
Surely you’re like that too, your ruthless heart rocking on

Dancing NOISE, you strummed out the sound
The words riding on the sound are so dazzling
You hurl abuse at heartless disasters
Decorated illusions, justice has lost its meaning, right?

If there is a too-perfect vision of the future, everyone will simply
Accept that as the default best answer. Are you satisfied with that?
Would you wait for it nervously? That time when you first knew pain
Is a chance for you to notice your true feelings. So what will you do?

Strum it out, an answer for me…

Echoing in the back of my chest now, all sounds become one, no lies
You hurled abuse again and again at the present condition of human nature
Peerless rock that you extol, always repeating on and on

サヨナラが美しくて (Sayonara ga utsukushikute) – Goodbye is so beautiful

Performed by Shibata Aya and 4th Generation.


from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

From the day we were born till this day today
Just how many people have we met?
The people who come to mind will only be our true friends
Whom we still wish to see, even now

I used to be terrible at interacting
With the people around me
It always took a long time
For me to form friendships and open up my heart

The dream train’s bell rings
There’s just a little bit of time left
Before the door closes
I just want to talk about my feelings now

Thank you, even though we quarreled sometimes
Thank you, we smiled lots
Yes, we’ve finally become friends, right?
When we look back, we see dazzling days
Goodbye is
So beautiful…

In all honesty, it seemed like you always
Had a barrier up around you
Shut away in your own world alone
Maintaining a distance from everyone else

Before I knew it, I’d realized that it’s possible
To have a personal opinion
Everyone has their own way of life
Yes, you taught me that

The dream train starts to move
There’s no regret
Your wet eyes
Are smiling with all their might

Take care, even though I’ll be lonely
Take care, everything into memories
Yes, surely we’ll meet again someday, right?
Along the road leading to the future
I want to
Make a promise

Thank you, I’m glad I met you
Thank you, my true friend
I can finally speak from my heart
These aren’t words of sorrow
Goodbye is
So beautiful…

Madogiwa LOVER – SKE48

窓際LOVER (Madogiwa LOVER) – Window-seat LOVER

Performed by Next Position.


from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

The curtains flutter in the breeze
The blue sky appears greedy
The lecture on ancient writings, started since noon
Makes me want to fall asleep
The tale of Genji

I’m interested in you
(Dressed in your uniform, diagonally in front of me)
If you could turn back to face me
I may be able to strive on a little more…
So I make a wish

Falling in love in a corner of the classroom
You’re right next to me, but so far away
My heart’s needle ticks by slowly
This unchanging distance turns into sorrow
A frustrating window-seat LOVER

Is that barking coming from the school yard?
From one lost dog
Staving off boredom, I imagined
And doodled it onto my notebook
How adorable

You always sit facing forward
(A sweet blooming flower)
When your long hair falls
And you brush it behind your right ear…
What are you thinking of?

My heart has been astir since that day
Even though I know it won’t come true…
An escaped sigh is a breeze from my heart
If only I can convey my love with nonchalance
To my transient window-seat LOVER

Falling in love in a corner of the classroom
You’re right next to me, but so far away
My heart’s needle ticks by slowly
This unchanging distance turns into sorrow
A frustrating window-seat LOVER

Konya wa Shake it! – SKE48

今夜はShake it! (Konya wa Shake it!) – Shake it tonight!

Performed by Love Crescendo.



from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

Shake it! Shake it! Love me tonight!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
WOW WOW YEAH!
Shake it! Shake it! Hold me tight!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

Numerous empty yellow taxi cabs
Pass me by
The safe night grows late
But I don’t want to go home
Until dawn breaks

My flashy nails are a sign
They mean “come and chat me up”
Intentionally fluttering my fingers
I danced right before you

You are
Still too young
And withdrawn, but
You look more
Mature than you are…
Peeking into
The backs of your eyes
I give you a smile

Shake it! Shake it!
Embrace me, just for tonight
I’ll follow you
Anywhere you want
Follow you…
Shake it! Shake it!
If we just stand here
The dream won’t begin
Take me!
Shake it! Shake it!
Embrace me, just for tonight
I’m looking forward
To see what you have
A surprise
Shake it! Shake it!
If we’re going to love
Let’s hurry before the morning sun
Shake it up!

Since you’re waiting for the first train
Let’s play a little longer
Under this dark sky for grown-ups
Where nothing can be seen
In this long night

I put on glossy lipstick
As if they’re begging to be kissed
Want to purse my lips
And pose a riddle to you

You’re trying
To act tough
But I see right through you
A total
Rebellion is
Not present today
Want to make Mama
And Papa worry

Shake it! Shake it!
Sleepless loneliness
Heal my
Loneliness
Follow me!
Shake it! Shake it!
I spend my time with others
But I can’t feel the gentleness
Leave me!
Shake it! Shake it!
Sleepless loneliness
Just what
Can satisfy my
Desire?
Shake it! Shake it!
As I test it out
The sun is amazed
Shake it up!

Love can’t be picked up
Look, it’s scattered all over the road…
There
Dropped by the roadside
Is someone’s worn out love

Shake it! Shake it!
Embrace me, just for tonight
I’ll follow you
Anywhere you want
Follow you…
Shake it! Shake it!
If we just stand here
The dream won’t begin
Take me!
Shake it! Shake it!
Embrace me, just for tonight
I’m looking forward
To see what you have
A surprise
Shake it! Shake it!
If we’re going to love
Let’s hurry before the morning sun
Shake it up!
No good!

Shake it! Shake it! Shake it!
Don’t love!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Shake it! Shake it! Shake it!
Don’t love!

ハッピーランキング (Happii rankingu) – Happy ranking

Performed by Rank-in girls 2016.


from Kin no ai, gin no ai single.

——

Happy ranking
Romance’s list
Happy ranking
Can it be a high rank?
The popularity vote in class
A total reversal
Dreamy surprise
Thank thank thank you!
WOW WOW Yeah!
Thank thank thank you!

I thought I definitely
Yes, wasn’t going to make it
My girl power isn’t that strong
Nor am I confident in my looks

Not to undervalue society
Just that
I didn’t notice your gaze
You were secretly
Watching me from an unexpected place
With you as my ally…

Happy ranking
I’ve gotten in
Happy ranking
A dark horse
To everyone who supported me
I’m indebted to your kindness
Happy ranking
Too happy
Happy ranking
So excited
As long as I don’t give up
Something good will happen
Thank thank thank you!
WOW WOW Yeah!
Thank thank thank you!

The moment the results were announced
Yes, there was a great commotion
No one had predicted it
The sudden rise of a nobody

I need to experience life
Overthrowing the seniors
No matter how low my ranking
Or how far out of range I was
Someday, the chance will come
With your love…

Happy rank-in
Great progress
Happy rank-in
A clear vote of support
I’ll never forget this favor
Happy rank-in
Grateful and touched
Happy rank-in
Tears flowing
If I believe, surely
My wish will come true

Happy ranking
I’ve gotten in
Happy ranking
A dark horse
To everyone who supported me
I’m indebted to your kindness
Happy ranking
Too happy
Happy ranking
So excited
As long as I don’t give up
Something good will happen

Happy rank-in
Great progress
Happy rank-in
A clear vote of support
I’ll never forget this favor
Happy rank-in
Grateful and touched
Happy rank-in
Tears flowing
If I believe, surely
My wish will come true
Thank thank thank you!
WOW WOW Yeah!
Thank thank thank you!

TV Easy – nanoCUNE

TVいーじー (TV Iijii) – TV Easy


from Tempra single.

——

Indecipherable conjectures with choices of ○ or × for the answer
Deliberately choosing ×, but is that in fact the best choice?

That decorated synopsis made my heart dance
There’s no need, reality is…a tedious day-to-day existence

A lyrical and sentimental blue, that’s the utopia we saw
Appearing and disappearing, the frequency changes within the insolent trap, unraveled threads of abstract theory filled with sadness

A planned and harmonious fixed game, mum sits in a disorderly living room
Deliberately turning a blind eye, but is that in fact the best choice?

Unable to understand, my pure heart was flustered
Maybe there’s no need, reality is…a tedious day-to-day existence

A logical and hard-to-derive reason, that’s the dystopia we know
With no stops, we remain lost in the maze, the illusions we imagined filled with sorrow

A Direction prepared by a sunny day’s thunder
I pretended not to see, but somehow, I embrace
My heart’s pain…won’t forget

A lyrical and sentimental blue, that’s the utopia we saw
Appearing and disappearing, the frequency changes within the insolent trap

A logical and hard-to-derive reason, that’s the dystopia we know
With no stops, we remain lost in the maze, the illusions we imagined filled with sorrow

ママ (Mama) – Mama


from Mama single.

——

When did I start calling mother as “mum”?
I can’t remember

When I became an adult, the chances for us to talk grew even lesser
Then, I left home

Sometimes you send me long, meaningless messages, please stop that
But I know, you gave up everything to protect me

Mama… Mama…
There are nights when I want to shout for you
Mama… Mama…
Please embrace me
Even if I can’t say it out loud anymore

Mum gave birth to me when you were still young, at 26 years old
Also quitting your job

I was a crybaby, a weak child who needed lots of support
I’m really sorry

Sometimes I wonder, what have you given up in order to raise me?
Tell me, am I close to your idea of an ideal son?

Mama… Mama…
There are nights when I want to shout for you
Mama… Mama…
Please embrace me
Even if I can’t say it out loud anymore

桜狂い、咲くは迷いし (Sakura kurui, saku wa mayoi shi) – Cherry blossom craze, blooming in confusion


from Joou shikkaku album.

——

Cherry blossom craze, blooming in confusion
I reminisce the colors as they scatter with the wind

Falling into a dream, the world disappears
Even in the dark fog beyond the past
Flowers blooming in the night, an inverted moon
My blank self disappeared into the darkness

You go crazy, blooming so beautifully
An everlasting pledge that has already scattered

The world I peek out at from my dream
Is like a boring game, fluttering in the wind
Birds chirping in the night, inverted wings
The full moon soon disappeared into the darkness

Flowers that resemble you, you, you
If I embrace them

Telling nothing but lies, you are foolish
As boring scripted words spill into your heart
Days of enjoyment, hardened by lies
Together with the blank ship, disappeared into the darkness

If you, you, you scatter
The flowers will recall

The cherry blossoms scatter
