From Secret album.

“As long as you stay, the flowers won’t wilt but continue blooming”
Before all this unadventurous, unprovocative, safe nonsense
Lures me to sleep, I’ll go. What I want is, yes
JUST 1 LOVE

For some reason, my disposition somehow always makes me deviate from the crowd
If you wish to pierce me with sharp words, feel free to do so
I just can’t be a follower

“As long as I go, beautiful flowers will always adorn us”
Those merciless, doubtless eyes of yours look at me
But refrain from asking if what I said was a joke, and so saved me
JUST 1 LOVE

Life is often about making choices with our own hands
If you wish to share your opinion or something, feel free to do so
These small things won’t shake me

Before it lures me to sleep, do it. What I want is, yes
JUST 1 LOVE

For some reason, my disposition somehow always makes me deviate from the crowd
If you wish to pierce me with sharp words, feel free to do so
I just can’t be a follower

Life is often about making choices with our own hands
If you wish to share your opinion or something, feel free to do so
These small things won’t shake me

What are you so shy about?
Hey, what are you seeing?
And although I really like the way you walk
So straight you’ll collide into something soon

(Dreamin’ Startin’)
We can start anytime
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
We can end if you want to
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
If you’re all prepared
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
Then it’s your call

There is no answer
Nobody will give you one either
So if it really exists
You probably already have it
If you’ve decided to stick it out
Then puff up your chest
And look straight ahead

There is no point comparing you to someone else
Everyone has different standards, anyway

(Dreamin’ Startin’)
You are unique in the world
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
No one can replace you
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
Even so, if you continue to hesitate
(Dreamin’ Startin’)
Then that’s your call

There is no answer
It doesn’t exist anywhere
But we can never return again
To this moment right now
If you’ve decided to believe
Then open up and accept answers
Different from your expectations

There is no answer
Nobody will give you one either
So if it really exists
You probably already have it
If you’ve decided to stick it out
Then puff up your chest
And look straight ahead

There is no answer
It doesn’t exist anywhere
But we can never return again
To this moment right now
If you’ve decided to believe
Then open up and accept answers
Different from your expectations

Things haven’t ended yet
We can’t stop now
Haven’t we always been
Overcoming obstacles in just this way?

Uh　La la la…
Uh uh

If we throw it away
If we turn our backs on it
Then isn’t that rude
To the tears we shed then?

Uh　La la la…
Uh uh

Hey, I don’t care if at any time, in any way
This body is cut up and sold by the piece
But I will never surrender my heart to anyone

Hey, there are some days
When I wonder, just how long more and for what purpose
Should I continue to keep moving forward
But you are always watching me

It’s not so simple
And it may sound ridiculous
But it’s boring to live just for myself

Uh　La la la…
Uh uh

Hey, to all those who think that a mere smile
And exchange of words lets you understand someone completely
You are totally mistaken

Hey, the meaning of my smile, the idea behind my words
I have no reason to tell anyone about those
Because I never think of conveying it
Yes, because you are the only one who knows

The unknown
Real
Me

Hey, if I leave this place someday
I know that you will look at me in a satisfied way
And wave at me heartily

Hey, if I leave this place someday
I know that you will look at me in a satisfied way
Keep silent, and give me a nod of approval
So please watch over me

Until
That Day…

Let me tell you a secret
You’ve never known about

Will you find
The secret that is here?

Will you believe in
The miracle that is here?

The secret
The miracle

The secret
The miracle

Will you find
The secret that is here?

Will you believe in
The miracle that is here?

Hey, all you cute BOYS
Standing there smouldering

Just for tonight, the GIRLS
Will say goodnight to bravado

Feel with your body
Like how you do with your heart

We always give way
To the reason in our heads, right?

But when it comes to that, just
Leave your body to the beat

(Feel with your body)

Nothing will begin if you stand there looking
Nothing will become yours
Until when are you going to remain there
Passively sucking on your thumb?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

Don’t be defensive
Try to charm with aggression

Who’s to tell you
What is possible, and what is not?

Be more daring
Just be shameless

No more talk about regret
After what has happened

You can’t be wrong, just
Submit to the beat you’re hearing

(Be more daring)

You won’t reach out by being half-baked
You won’t understand if you don’t touch
Until when are you going to remain there
Feeling intimidated?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

Nothing will begin if you stand there looking
Nothing will become yours
Until when are you going to remain there
Passively sucking on your thumb?

You won’t reach out by being half-baked
You won’t understand if you don’t touch
Until when are you going to remain there
Feeling intimidated?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

from Boys&Girls single + LOVEppears album.

Misa’s note: A unique point in this song is how the choruses are sung from different perspectives. The first (and last) chorus uses the word “bokura” for “we”, while the second chorus uses “watashitachi” for the same word. “Boku” is a term reserved mostly by males, while “watashi” is used by females. These words were probably chosen to find traction with listeners from the genders by representing both, hence the all-inclusive title “Boys&Girls”.

Can anyone stop us, once we’ve started to shine?
Does anyone have the right to stop us boys, once we’ve started to fly?

We often say it
We often dream about it
We often talk about it
“I want to be happy”
Just how many times have we said that?
Just what do we want?
Just what are we unsatisfied with?
Just where are we heading to?
Even when asked
We don’t really have an answer

When I push you forwards
Do not forget
The promise we made
This summer

As long as we shine, we’ll be able to capture tomorrow someday
As long as us girls fly, we’ll be able to find the shining tomorrow

We’re all anticipating
We’re all doubting
Everyone is like this, right?
To be called “a good person”
Seems to imply that one is “a pushover”

The sunrise was so dazzling
It pierced my eyes painfully
My heart clenched
And I felt a little lost

Can anyone stop us, once we’ve started to shine?
Does anyone have the right to stop us boys, once we’ve started to fly?
