Lyrics and Translations (Studio48)

Long time no see. Dropping two songs that I really like here.
I hope to translate some more soon, but no promise. Real life has been hectic the past few months. I think I haven't even logged in to Stage48 for about half a year...

Jugon wa Jugon (A Dugong Is A Dugong)

Spoiler: lyrics

Dugong dugong dugong dugong
She doesn’t look like a mermaid, does she?
Dugong dugong dugong dugong
A dugong is a dugong is a dugong
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Watch out watch out watch out watch out
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Lies lies lies lies

Because it was you who told me
I tried to believe it
But even if I think of it favourably
The truth will not change
If it was possible, I would look forward
To fantasy more than reality
When I close my eyes, it comes to my mind
Is the legend wrong?

Ah, she isn’t your younger sister
Ah, she’s the one you cheat on me for

Dugong dugong dugong dugong
The mermaid I spotted just now
Dugong dugong dugong dugong
She’s a dugong no matter how I see it
Hey hey hey hey
Guilty guilty guilty guilty
Hey hey hey hey
Out out out out

I just saw her for a moment
I might have been wrong
She was a beautiful woman
That’s all I could say for sure
Come to think of it, I think you told me
You were an only child
And you still insist that she is your younger sister
With a flustered look on your face

Ah, by chance, I took a picture
Ah, let’s show it to someone

Dugong dugong dugong dugong
Is she really your younger sister?
Dugong dugong dugong dugong
She looks like nothing but a dugong
Well well well well
Which way? Which way? Which way? Which way?
Well well well well
Who? Who? Who? Who?

Ah, the woman over there?
Ah, I don’t think she’s a mermaid

Dugong dugong dugong dugong
The mermaid I spotted just now
Dugong dugong dugong dugong
She’s a dugong no matter how I see it
Hey hey hey hey
Guilty guilty guilty guilty
Hey hey hey hey
Out out out out

^ A lot of repetition in the lyrics but it matches the slightly eerie music well imo. And I find the metaphor of dugong vs. mermaid interesting.

Monica, yoake da (Monica, the Dawn Has Come)

Spoiler: lyrics

There’s no point in feeling down alone
Dark times occur
Do your best, do your best, if you rush
All your efforts will be fruitless

I know you’ve cried…
And then tried to wipe the tears away in secret
Even god will not abandon
This kind of feelings

Monica, Monica, what do you want to achieve
By continuing to blame yourself?
Monica, Monica, be strong
No one, no one is to blame
Isn’t despair also a chance?
Rise from where you are!
It’s dawn

Oh! If someone asks what you can do
What should be the answer?
The needed, the needed, using all your strength
You’re doing what has to be done

The door of fate that has never opened
It won’t move even if you push or pull it now
Although waiting is hard
It’ll become a road someday

Monica, Monica, don’t give up
You have friends on your side
Monica, Monica, can you hear that?
The call, the call, the heated roar
Hope is facing the future
Believe in tomorrow
The sky’s growing light

Is the time finally ripe?
Will it start anytime?
The things you’ve endured until now
The dreams that you have even now
The battle will begin
We’re waiting for the signal

Monica, Monica, start running
Everyone, everyone will follow you
Monica, Monica, change the world
You, you are a saviour

Monica, Monica, what do you want to achieve
By continuing to blame yourself?
Monica, Monica, be strong
No one, no one is to blame
Isn’t despair also a chance?
Rise from where you are!
It’s dawn

The sun, from the horizon over there…

Spoiler: romaji

8th verse, last line:
'kimi ga kimi ga kyuusei omonanda' should be 'kimi ga kimi ga kyuuseishu nanda'

^ A good song for those suffering in trying times (and 48G as a group, I suppose...)

 

Wow, Monic Yoake da is very beautiful ! Really inspiring !
Thanks for the translation

 

I'm a bit lost what the lyrics for Jugon wa Jugon mean It's one of my favourite ever NMB songs but... what? Is it trying to say that he got fooled and that the girl he thought was mermaid-like (pretty and magical?) was actually just a dugong (average?)?

 

It's a song about cheating and it's written from the female perspective, not the male one.
I = the woman dating 'you'
You = boyfriend
She = the other woman that the boyfriend ('you') is dating

'You' told 'me' that 'she' is 'your' younger sister ('mermaid') but 'I' think 'she' is 'your' other girlfriend ('dugong'). 'I' even have photos to prove that.

Hope that's clear now? And perhaps you can suggest which part of the translation is unclear? Everything's quite clear to me the first time I read the original lyrics — 'my' grudge towards 'you' and 'her', 'my' slightly haraguro nature (how 'I' said 'I' wanted to trust 'you' at the beginning but it turns out 'I' already have photos to prove 'your' lies )... I'd love to convey that in the translation too.

-----

Edit: On the topic of Jugon wa Jugon's lyrics... I first watched this song's MV without reading the lyrics and found Aayan(the centre)'s expression a little odd at that time because it was rather sombre for an idol song. But after reading the lyrics, I find that the serious expression is actually a valid interpretation of the feelings of 'me' . Nice job girl.

 

Thank you so much for the explanation. I usually expect 48G songs to be from a male perspective and they're all pretty heteronormative (with the exception of a few wlw songs for fan service). Thank you, this explanation makes a lot of sense!

 

Regarding the song JK Nemurihime. I've always wondered about what JK stands for, so now I've asked and got an answer. JK=Joshikousei=Senior high school girl. Maybe this translation also should have a place?

 

I too have returned briefly to translate two songs :'D I'm working on a third, hope to have it done tomorrow!

Mata Aeru Hi Made (Until the Day We Meet Again)

Spoiler

At least in the end, I have to do things right
I tried smiling in front of the mirror
If I show my tears to the people seeing me off
They’ll surely worry

If I say goodbye, it becomes a parting
If I say see you later, someday we’ll meet again

Even though I’m older, I haven’t been reliable
I’m sorry for causing nothing but trouble
But still in my own way,
I’ve always held everyone in my thoughts

Memories are always too tender
The future is always alone

Here in this place
No one will stop and stand still
Because even if I go far away
I’m watching over you

If I say goodbye, it becomes a parting
If I say see you later, someday we’ll meet again

I’ll never forget today
Someday, we’ll surely talk together

Lalala...

A fitting song for Miichan's departure, I think ^_^

Ai Suru Hito (A Person You Love)

Spoiler

I stopped and wondered why I was living
I always have faith there’s a reason for everyone to be born

It feels like the darkening sky is leaving only me behind
The day we call today was not spent in vain
I want to go home believing it was precious

A person you love (a person you love)
Do you have one? (do you have one?)
Just by seeing that person’s smile
You always become happy somehow
In this whole world (in this whole world)
That single person (that single person)
In order to meet them someday
I’m living on
Embracing this loneliness

I’ve finally found a star sparkling in a corner of the night sky
Even the darkness, as if to comfort me
Whispered that it’s not just me who’s feeling alone

A person I love (a person I love)
Though I don’t have one yet (though I don’t have one yet)
If I see the future’s smile in my dreams
I can overcome this sorrow
Someday (someday)
My destined person (my destined person)
In order to reach their side
I’ll keep asking
What exactly love is

A person you love (a person you love)
Do you have one? (do you have one?)
Just by seeing that person’s smile
You always become happy somehow
In this whole world (in this whole world)
That single person (that single person)
In order to meet them someday
I’m living on
Embracing this loneliness

A person I love, is there one?
A person I love, this close to me
A person I love, though there already was one
A person I love, I didn’t realize

A couple of romaji errors:
(2nd stanza, last line) tsuitachi -> ichinichi
(3rd to last stanza, 2nd to last line) nanka -> nanika

This is my favorite song from the recent releases! Glad to see others love it too

 

Spoiler: Off-topic

True, but then again Sasshi's grad song (Watashi datte Idol!) also contains the lyrics "スキャンダル　心配かけてしまった" (Scandal, I was worried/you were worried) and I think the same goes for her ^^ It can't be denied that those things stick in people's minds. And, in my opinion, Miichan always comes across as fairly concerned with everything, so I think the first line feels quite fitting for her character
[/HIDE]

 

I was in the middle of translating these two songs before my long hiatus. Let's get them done now.
I can't believe that Keyaki hasn't had a release during all these months. lol

Kekkyoku, jaa ne shika ienai (In the End, I Could Only Say Goodbye)

Spoiler: lyrics

The evening sky darkens
More quickly than I thought it would
Although we still wanted
To talk a bit more
It’s getting hard to see your face

The houses begin to light up
Feeling things are happening too fast
I say something inconsequential as we bid goodbye at the crossroad
To stop you from leaving

If I said I liked you, would something change?
I’ve always been puzzled since then
If I decided that this was love
I wouldn’t be able to go home with you like this

‘Goodbye’
Shall I end the day
Using the same words as always
Then turn my back and walk away?
But I’d always stop right away (and turn around)
As you leave on your bike, I see you off and suddenly think
Tomorrow, I want to see you as usual
If we can talk here on our way back
It’s best to keep it the way it is
The stars have risen

The inconspicuous classmate
For some reason began to look special the other day…
So in the after-school classroom
I sluggishly rearranged my time
And planned when we could run into each other

When we walked side by side on the slope
I pretended to have met you out of coincidence
The diverging paths of the crossroad
Are the choices of love

If I said I liked you, things would get a bit awkward
I want to avoid such a risk
So I don’t have any strange feelings
Shall I show you my two hands as proof?

‘Goodbye’
Let me say it suddenly
And walk away
As if I weren’t interested
How many times do I have to repeat this (before you’ll know?)
As I pedal my bike slowly
I ponder on today’s joy
Being able to go home with you
Is the closest I’ve ever been to happiness

The sweet olive trees
Are fading from sight
And that bicycle of yours
Is heading towards the road of unrequited love

Before I know
Stars are sparkling all over the sky
If I ride my bike in full force
Will the pain in my chest disappear?

‘Goodbye’
Shall I end the day
Using the same words as always
Then turn my back and walk away?
But I’d always stop right away (and turn around)
As you leave on your bike, I see you off and suddenly think
Tomorrow, I want to see you as usual
If we can talk here on our way back
It’s best to keep it the way it is
The stars have risen

NO WAR in the future

Spoiler: lyrics

LALALALALA…
We know
We know what matters most
In the diamond everyone’s fighting for
There’s no value at all

By getting hurt and bleeding
What do you want to obtain?
The domino of hate is falling
Would someone stop it!

Although the sky is hidden
By a big rain cloud
Come, everyone, let’s raise our voice!
If we want light
We have to make the wind blow
Raise our feet and stamp the floor!

NO WAR
Do we love each other?
With everyone in the world…
I want to be kind
Let’s try to like each other
NO WAR
Can we forgive each other?
With just a smile
Our hearts can connect
Let the peace begin
NO WAR in the future

For the person next to you
For the person far away
If we open up our feelings
We will understand each other

Towards the far-off horizon
Although darkness is approaching
No, there’s nothing to fear
No matter how dark the night is
The sun will eventually rise
Let’s hold our fist and raise it overhead!

NO WAR
Have we listened to each other?
When our eyes meet
Even if we don’t speak each other’s language
We can still convey love
NO WAR
Have we talked to each other?
Then, in the end
We can understand each other with a hug
Friend, let’s go

LALALALALA…
NO WAR in the future

How many times
Will we have wiped our tears
Before the world becomes one?
We don’t want war
We’re standing here
So come, let’s raise our voice!

NO WAR
Do we love each other?
With everyone in the world…
I want to be kind
Let’s try to like each other
NO WAR
Can we forgive each other?
With just a smile
Our hearts can connect
Let the peace begin
NO WAR in the future

LALALALALA…

Sustainable English translation ( by AKB48 Youtube)

Spoiler

Though the ocean season has ended
I could not invite you once

I heard that you were busy
and I hesitated

My mobile phone still has a photo
of you and me smiling in swimsuits last year

Because when love becomes exciting
you may not notice

Since then (since then) Just once (just once)
At that time, wasn't it sad?
I will never change
No matter what happens
Since then (since then) We haven't met (we haven't met)
And as I am, I can't forget you
That expresses my true feelings
So let me keep loving you

I need a reason to see you again
because I feel so lonely

Although I think too much
have we laughed about it?

I want to love you (I want to love you) To be by your side (To be by your side)
Because my feelings for you will last forever
A lot of time has passed
and the sun doesn't shine anymore
I want to love you (I want to love you) We will meet again (we will meet again)
I don't want to forget another day
Of all of the things I could do right now
I want to stay in love with you

We can't look at ourselves
In an objective way
But that doesn't matter in any way
Once again, once again, I want to ask you out

Since then (since then) Just once (just once)
At that time, wasn't it sad?
I will never change
No matter what happens
Since then (since then) We haven't met (we haven't met)
And as I am, I'll never forget you
That expresses my true feelings
So let me keep loving you

I want to love you

From now on, forever

Wasurete hoshii (I Want You to Forget Me)

Spoiler: lyrics

Smile at me like always
I don’t want sad faces when we part
If we can’t always be together
Let us all start walking on our own way

From now on
I will not be your burden...

I want you to forget me WOWOWOW
Do not remember me
Let all your memories of me disappear WOWOWOW
They’re nothing but a long dream

Although I want to hug you tightly for one last time
I wouldn’t be able to release my arms around you
If I knew we’d be parting this soon
I would’ve told you what I feel about you

Things like loneliness
One gets used to them in time

When tomorrow comes WOWOWOW
What happens today will seem far away
The time that passes by WOWOWOW
Will heal this pain

Things like ‘We’ll meet again someday’
I don’t want to say them
Having a place to return to
Would just spoil me

Let’s go home with a smile like always
I don’t want to show a single drop of tears
Since I’m setting off for a new journey
Don’t you come running after my back

I want you to forget me WOWOWOW
Do not remember me
Let all your memories of me disappear WOWOWOW
They’re nothing but a long dream

Spoiler: romaji

6th verse, 1st line:
'sou asu ni nareba WOWOWOW' should be 'sou ashita ni nareba WOWOWOW'

('明日' can be either 'asu' or 'ashita' but it is 'ashita' in this song.)

Yume wa nigenai (Dreams Do Not Run Away)

Spoiler: lyrics

I wanted to make a change
I wanted to test myself
That day, I gave up everything
And came here
That’s why I was reckless
Without turning back
I ran

Hard times
I know them well
Those bawling nights
Were something I’d gone through

There’s one last thing
That I want to tell you
You can’t be the one
Who gives up
Dreams would never
Never run away
Reach it
With your hand
Just like this

And some day...

A wall used to block my way
As if it was my boundary
For so many times
I had wanted to quit...
But someone would always seize my arm
And stop me from leaving
These are my friends

On those days
When things went against my hopes
I used to weep
All night till the morning

I want you
To tell others as well
Even if you can’t see it
You’re coming close to it
Your dream is only
One millimetre away
Don’t ever drop
That hand of yours
Which you’ve stretched out!

Hang in there!

There’s one last thing
That I want to tell you
You can’t be the one
Who gives up
Dreams would never
Never run away
Reach it
With your hand
Just like this

Hang in there!

Hang in there!

 

The last two songs from Keyaki's 5th single (released 2.5 years ago but whatever lol).

Namiuchigiwa wo hashiranai ka? (Shall We Run on the Beach?)

Spoiler: lyrics

Shall we run on the beach?
On the (On the) deserted (deserted) autumn sandy beach
The water splash is still jumping
Like our love even now
We never stop

This is the number what typhoon (typhoon)
It’s being reported in the news show (news show)
As my suntan is getting pale
The LINE messages are also getting fewer

What will we become when we fall in love?
We become sensitive to the changing seasons

Shall we run on the beach?
Although the sea (the sea) water (water) has got cold
The approaching waves and thoughts
Will never ever change after that summer; We never stop

The must-buy chamomile (chamomile)
The borrowed and never returned Irwin Shaw (Irwin Shaw)
The two of us have kissed so many times before
Are we really too busy to meet now?

Love is always the most fun at the beginning
When we begin to take it for granted, there comes the crisis

Don’t just stand on the beach
Your memories (memories) will only (only) get erased
The trail of footprints on the sand
And the love in this heart will continue anywhere
We never stop

Let’s go back to that day
Let our hearts flutter again
The pounding feeling that we’ve forgotten
Will be remembered again if we run

Shall we run on the beach?
On the deserted autumn sandy beach
The water splash is still jumping
Like our love even now
We never stop

Saisei suru saibou (Regenerating Cells)

Spoiler: lyrics

When you suddenly look away
Something is broken
Gathering its shards in my palm
I’m simply dumbfounded

How much tears should I shed?
When I go through something like that...

I want to have another encounter
I want to love again
Now I can say it frankly
Everyone gets hurt, and at the same time
Gets stronger and moves forward
The cells of love
Will regenerate

'It’s all my fault,’
I kept blaming myself
Drowned by sadness in the abyss of regret
I nevertheless looked for light

If everything disappears into the distant oblivion
And the pain goes away...

Then I can’t have another encounter
Then I can’t love again
Although I once gave up just like that...
What’s the most important thing?
I eventually understand
The cells once dead
Will be reborn

Yes, our broken relationship
Is nobody’s fault
We just couldn’t sort out our heart’s feelings
To live is to regret
Take a look at my new cells

I want to have another encounter
I want to love again
Now I can say it frankly
Everyone gets hurt, and at the same time
Gets stronger and moves forward
The cells of love
Will regenerate

Star shining in the dark
I don't know what to do
Where will happiness go?
It seems like life without a destination

Let's take a break
I close my eyes and pray to the sky

This song was born for you guys that day
Even if you have nowhere to go, let's smile together

Don't forget the days when you leave
My loving heart won't change
Let's pray for tomorrow
Let's do our best until the day we meet again

Even if we're far apart
Let's always cheer together for everyone
Now matter how hard it is, let's have hope
Take care of yourself and let's do our best together
Each person's actions contribute to our future
Let's get over it together
I want to see you again

I want to choose to believe
A new era is visible in the blue sky

This song was born for you guys that day
Even if you have nowhere to go, let's smile together

Don't forget the days when you leave
My loving heart won't change
Let's pray for tomorrow
Let's do our best until the day we meet again

We want to support you from Thailand
We will go together

Tokonoma seiza musume (The Girl Who Sits Straight in the Tokonoma)

Spoiler: lyrics

Like how we politely greet while passing each other
Even when it looks like you’re going to hug me, I’ll slip out of your arms
Although things between men and women aren’t always ruled by reason
We’ll surely get hurt if we act on only emotions

The heated heart, let’s cool it down a little
Review the important things
On the assumption that we’ll be with each other

Let’s sit straight as we love
Half-heartedness won’t do
We must sit face-to-face and go through all formalities
Let’s sit straight as we gaze at each other
You can’t date me if you’re here to play
Know that there’s no turning back
If you like me, please go through all the proper processes
In the tokonoma

Even if you show me a fleeting dream for just an instant
I won’t be so naive as to simply believe in it
‘Go by the spur of the moment; don’t think too hard’
I won’t be swayed by such irresponsible speeches

I gently evade your approaching lips
I want you to ask before a kiss
It’s the process of achieving happiness

Let’s straighten up as we love
We have to reform ourselves
Show me with your attitude how you’ve changed from the past
Let’s straighten up as we go forward
I don’t want to make mistakes
Please stick to the tradition of my family
These strict protocols are the expression of love
On the tatami mats

Let’s sit straight as we love
Half-heartedness won’t do
We must sit face-to-face and go through all formalities
Let’s sit straight as we gaze at each other
You can’t date me if you’re here to play
Know that there’s no turning back
If you like me, please go through all the proper processes
In the tokonoma

The contrast of conservative(?) lyrics and feisty music is so over-the-top and Namba

Amai mousou (Sweet Delusion)

Spoiler: lyrics

You’ll understand it after getting hurt many times; you’ll be amazed
No matter how many times you’ve regretted making the same mistake
You’ll pretend that nothing has happened
And keep trying at it
You honestly think that hard work isn’t enough
You can’t be that naive
You understand without being told
That it’s unfair...

The easiest way out
Is to give up
Yes, if nothing begins
There won’t be setbacks either

People are foolish beings
Things like dreams are illusions
Even if you feel that they’re going to come true
Isn’t that your own delusion despite reality?

To be happy, you shouldn’t do anything
Being different from other people is really tiring
All this hard work
Is just for sticking to your beliefs
‘Fervent hope will lead you to success’
That’s a last-century way of thinking
There’s no way to succeed just with this
I’ve realised it now

Even so, we’re still struggling
And inevitably living
We can have hopes
Which suit our positions

People never learn their lesson
And most of them fail
‘Your dreams will come true as long as you don’t give up’
Don’t give me such easy-to-say comforting words

As least for now, just as I wish
Let me see that impossible sweet dream

People are foolish beings
Things like dreams are illusions
Even if you feel that they’re going to come true
Isn’t that your own delusion despite reality?

Second last verse, second line:
'arienai amai yume misasete wo kure' should be 'arienai amai yume misasete okure'

Honestly didn't expect such gloomy lyrics from the song title and singer (Queentet) lol
But it's a good song anyway

 

I thought I'd finally do the IZ*ONE songs Here's the first batch of the first Japanese single

Spoiler: Suki to Iwasetai translation

You say you want to meet
Lately, isn't it not just me?
Persistent, many times
You kept inviting me daily...
Did you forget
The shining diamond somewhere?
Hey, once again, remember
Our hearts beating back then

We always get used to love
Sometimes it goes if we don't check on it

Absolutely
I want you to say you like me, coming from you
I want you to say you like me, won't you kiss?
I want you to say you like me, look into my eyes
I want you to say you like me, won't you kiss?
Even if you hug me, it won't come through
Give me a few of your words, won't you kiss?

If you turn away and leave
I will do the same
Let's not interfere with each other
Such rules might be advantageous
I just tried to be strong but
I can't do it
Hey, look at me a little more
Something is yelling from deep inside my chest

Love will eventually lose balance
If you don't support it carefully, it'll tip over

So from now
Say you like me, isn't it easy?
Say you like me, one more kiss!
Say you like me, even now it's good
Say you like me, one more kiss!
If you don't want to lose me
Let me know your feelings, one more kiss!

Hey, are you going to let me stay alone?
If you don't say the same thing back, I won't believe it's love

Absolutely
I want you to say you like me, coming from you
I want you to say you like me, won't you kiss?
I want you to say you like me, look into my eyes
I want you to say you like me, won't you kiss?
Even if you hug me, it won't come through
Give me a few of your words, won't you kiss?

Spoiler: Kenchanayo colour coding

I debated between using the colours used on other lyric pages, but if it's okay, I'd like to suggest using these colours. The girls have individual colours set by the group. Also, the member 'Lee Chaeyeon' is spelled as 'Lee Chaewon' on the pages that list her already (Suki to Iwasetai and Gokigen Sayonara).

It's okay!

Stop staring
You want to turn your eyes away, don't you?
(wo wo wow)
Deep inside my chest
I feel like I'm being looked into
Even though I closed my eyelids
You got the wrong idea (Sorry)
In that sense
I didn't mean to
But I was impatient

What kind of face should I make? Suddenly...
The problem starts here (awkwardness...)
If you jump into my arms
There's no turning back

No!
Absolutely no!
Love
Will drown
At this rate (wow...)
I'll start to love you (...)
Open my eyes
Please help me quickly
If you don't hurry (wow...)
I'll get serious (wow...)

Because I was drawn into this world without realizing it... (hypnosis)
Because this is my first experience in life to do
This is love

wow...
wow...

If I get to touch, I'm in trouble
Surely you will accept it, won't you?
(wo wo wow)
At a brutally strong pace
I'll be compliant
I can't say anything
I'll only nod (Maybe)
On your chest
I can sleep with a peace of mind

But I have to decline...
This time it's dangerous (feelings)
We're passing through passion
Let's calm down

Give up!
I want you to notice
I'm hungry
For love
From me (wow...)
You might get a hug (wow...)
Calming down
is absolutely boring
It's so embarassing but (wow...)
I'll become bold (wow...)

I'm making a fuss over you like you did for me (mind games)
It'll be in vain if all these emotions pile up and we don't do anything about it
This is love

Even if I fall head over heels... of course
It's okay (no changes)
It will turn out this way
Let's go easy

No!
Absolutely no!
Love
Will drown
At this rate (wow...)
I'll start to love you (...)
Open my eyes
Please help me quickly
If you don't hurry (wow...)
I'll get serious (wow...)

Because I was drawn into this world without realizing it... (hypnosis)
Because this is my first experience in life to do
This is love

No matter
What happens
It's okay

I want to live like a cat Uh~
Don't worry about other people's eyes on me
I want to live as I like
Selfish
I don't want to be tied up
I wanna be a cat

Norwegian sofa
The usual sunny spot
She gives a yawn
She got sleepy again
Suddenly, off of the backrest
She's rolled upside down
"Don't disturb me"
When she kicks up her feet, she rolls over

I don't hate you
I'm just not in the mood
I'll let you know on my own when I want to play

The housecat, where is she? Uh~
Maybe under the bed
She doesn't think of anyone

Until she's hungry...
She wants to be alone

The remaining milk
She doesn't even look at it
Now, with slippers on,
She wants to play with me
1 second before and 1 second after
The colour of her eyes changes rapidly
In short
I don't know what she's thinking

That kind of person
If you feel surprised, you'll have fun
If you don't expect anything, you can't be disappointed

Cats are better than dogs Uh~
It's boring when they listen to everything you ask
If there isn't enough stimulation
I'll get tired
I want more excitement
She's hard to handle

AH-
She goes out through the front door
That's her freedom
I'm always jealous of it and want to imitate her

I want to like like a cat Uh~
Don't worry about other people's eyes on me
I want to live as I like
Selfish
I don't want to be tied up

The relationship can end

It's no one's fault
A heart's mistake (Destiny's mistake)
But it was a really wonderful love

I'll look back on this without regrets

Since I became an adult
I've fallen in love
I was dancing at the time but
I don't remember the dance

The wind is always passing
Disappearing into somewhere
Even if it shakes at my heart
I can't stay here
White clouds floating in the sky
Just being swept away
I want to say something but
I don't see any reason

I'm so impatient
I'm mad at you
Hey, Do you remember that time
It was like this

Don't rush for love
Take it slower
Take your time
Rose petals
Will open up eventually
Stay beautiful
Stored inside my chest
Even if the feeling overflows
Is it a dream or reality?
It's not easy to reach out

I fell in love repeatedly
I got used to rejection a little
I move with constant emotion
I can't remember the dance

It's a sunny day on this road
Eventually, it'll get dark
Always there
I yearn for warmth...
Searching the world
I can't find it
To be a alone
You can't trust others, can you?

It's so selfish
My personality
Until I feel sick and hate it
Ignore me

Don't let your love dance away
If you can feel it
In the light
Even the thorns of roses
Make sense
So you should notice
Who do you dance for?
I asked the sun
Once the sunlight falls on me
Feel free... to look at me

Hands off! My heart!
Give me some time!
Yeah

Don't rush for love
Take it slower
Take your time
Rose petals
Will open up eventually
Stay beautiful

Don't let your love dance away
If you can feel it
In the light
Even the thorns of roses
Make sense
So you should notice
Who do you dance for?
I asked the sun
Once the sunlight falls on me
Feel free... to look at me

Since I became an adult
I've fallen in love
I was dancing at the time but
I don't remember the dance
