9. White Lie

I draw my bluffing body away from this love
White lie, why am I lost all the time
Even if I break, even if I feel depressed, I will rise to the surface
Like a lonely moonlit night

Searching you in the pouring rain
Where will the feeling disappear to
that paralyzed me without an outlet?
No one wants to tell me

In the darkness of my heart that left childishness behind
How far will it be until you realize?
It will definitely reach you in the morning that is too cold

It will reach from you to this heart
Filled with tears, your voice also dries up
Without getting lost, without worrying, without turning away your eyes
Your’s field, I am running far away

The sky that clears up, the endless path
The two of us will finally advance towards it
Even if what’s ahead of us is stern
The rain that won’t stop will not come

Even though you embraced
the shame of my heart that left sadness behind
I was too weak, I couldn’t extend both hands

I draw back bluffing body away from this love
White lie, why am I lost all the time
Deeply in love, I mess up being hot on your heels,
I’m shaking sadly, say goodbye

In the darkness of my heart that left childishness behind
How far will it be until you realize?
It will definitely reach you in the morning that is too cold

I want it to reach from me to your heart
Filled with tears, my voice also dries up
Without getting lost, without worrying, without turning away my eyes
Your’s field, I run through

I want to return, I can’t draw my body away from this love
White lie, why did it become a sin?
Even if I break, even if I feel depressed, I will rise to the surface
You and I, honestly loving you

8. Jet Park

Pushing yourself and trying to smile,
and sometimes trying to put on an attitude
Saving up stress for the coming of age
I’ve come walking with an adult pretension, but

Running more and more, strong in confidence
Kick common sense
Believe absolutely, absolutely, I won’t lose to anyone
I will seize the future, my original dream

A clever doll adorned with lies
is made to dance in black knowledge
If it’s enough to dye it into people, it’s okay to be clumsy
Don’t forget your heart that reflects the truth

I raise these tightly gripped hands overhead
Let’s go and plunge forward with all our strength
I’m sure, I’m sure that the big emotions are connecting,
because there will be a shining new encounter

It also occurs that we get lost, stand still
and unconsciously make complaints
Even if you can’t see ahead of you, don’t be afraid
You will muster your own historical greatest courage

Running more and more, strong in confidence
Kick common sense
Believe absolutely, absolutely, I won’t lose to anyone
I will seize the future, my original dream

I raise these tightly gripped hands overhead
Let’s go and plunge forward with all our strength
I can’t say the words that are more important than anything
Let’s start running now, together with a smile

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro
Music: Iida Takahiro

7. What cheer?

Really like it, we meet, like a dream
It’s never too late, it will begin tonight
I won’t forget this moment

My everyday life passes by
Even if I live with a fever it’s not boring
It’s carved into my heart, I’m riding on the beat
It’s okay to go over the top, let’s make some noise!

I have to return immediately
Let’s try to raise our white hands over our heads
To the endless night sky

Let’s return with unpainted faces, let’s burn out
I’m satisfied for now but let’s have fun
Really like it, these overflowing feelings
It’s never too late, that’s okay, right?
Forget the unnecessary things

It streams from the radio and fills me up
My body naturally starts to move

A silent image is also fine, but
In truth the beat won’t stop ringing
Let’s live honestly

Be of good cheer, let’s dance the wonderful steps
I’m satisfied for now but it’s because we will make it in time
Really like it, everyone is touching each other
It’s never too late, because it’s fine like that
Without feeling down, cheerfully

It looks like I will be able to become a new person from now on…

I can return anytime, so
Let’s try to raise out white hands over our heads
To the endless night sky

Let’s return with unpainted faces, let’s burn out
I’m satisfied for now but let’s have fun
Really like it, we meet, like a dream
It’s never too late, it will begin tonight
I won’t forget this moment

6. Dear to me

A couple in the colour-changing city, illuminated by the setting sun,
Even though the northern wind has reached that closely, it is warm

When I am embraced by your arms
It’s the first time, did you hear it?
The angels’ voice

The days in which we are able to confirm today are good
They are carved into my memory
The seasons are yours only
Just like a newborn star
You will surely continue your gentle smile

I read too much of the love story of the bewildered fluttering
To you, who are dyed by the colour of water

I let you worry about my ambiguous attitude, didn’t I?
I’m sorry, now it is different, right?
An honest love

A whimsy angel found it for me
It’s fine if I can just exchange looks with you
Just leaving it to my body, a dreamy state of mind
Because it has been set in motion by the big wave
that the wind blowing from the shore carried along

The days in which we are able to confirm today are good
They are carved into my memory
The seasons are yours only
Just like a newborn star
You will surely continue your gentle smile

The peaceful, ‘dear to me’ you will

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro

5. Sabaku no Umi

With what kind of phrase will you be able to survive this place?
Because when ten years pass, we will be able to laugh over this talk

Stop your breath, hidden in the dusk
I chase a wild story when at a certain point a miracle occurs!

This time I will break out by myself
If I tried to say goodbye to the sweet heart I pursued

The sun slightly opens and teaches me
That even if I don’t escape this fuzzy feeling
I won’t be set adrift
No matter under which star I was born
It doesn’t make a difference

The ocean of the desert we could see crawling up
If we avert our eyes it will disappear
It is no mirage, I want to try to swim

If you are not bothered about your way home, it’s your loss
I think that if you come out in the front strongly, strongly! Your pain will go away

If we burn this passion, over there
The days that shocked our time even though we carried both love and courage

If the wind blows even modestly,
Without worrying, immediately
because the things that become clear afterwards,
were born under these stars
there is no limit

The ocean of the desert we could see crawling up
The big sea that anyone can see
Is not a mirage, it is a beautiful scenery

Even if now we could see the end, even of this place
I would gaze upon the noisy days, yes they were not in vain

The ocean of the desert we could see running up already
If we avert our eyes it will disappear
It is not a mirage, let’s try to swim

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro
Music: Iida Takahiro

3. keep your hands in the air

Break out, I’m surrounding and crossing over the hard wall
I will advance forward towards the future
Heat up uncontrollably, check out to midnight
My heart will be born again

People say they can’t live on their own, but usually
It’s because they get told they live alone after all
If you are showered by a squall of confusion and you don’t understand anymore
What if your bad feeling that takes refuge in a box was blown away by a timid wind?

I desert the no good self, I lie down on my bed
Don’t sky way
Rise up
Grasp your wealthy and delicate dreams
Keep your hands in the air

I thought about it all night
Because there is no future in my easy way of living
Don’t cry if I open the black box
Throw away the expanding freedom, my weak

Being told ‘how was it to see it with your eyes?’ and talking back
I can’t spend my blue daily life, that hurts, from tomorrow on I won’t lend you my ears

I realised my real opponent was myself
And I finally came to see it, everything I can
I rub it off
I don’t need the wandering world anymore
Keep your hands in the air

Break out, I’m surrounding and crossing over the hard wall
I will advance forward towards the future
Heat up uncontrollably, check out to midnight
My heart will be born again

I thought about it all night
Because there is no future in my easy way of living
Don’t cry if I open the black box
Throw away the expanding freedom, my weak

Break out, I’m surrounding and crossing over the hard wall
I will advance forward towards the future
Heat up uncontrollably, check out to midnight
My heart will be born again

2. Be Ready

The day that I rushed out and casted the familiar city away
If I was indecisive, I couldn’t have done it

Stretching myself out in a cheeky pose,
The all-night long talking also had a meaning

What I was able to remember was passionate dream
Reflected in your eyes, be ready
If I look back it will become hot, I can’t lose

The people that woke up always go on a trackless path
With a living style that has their feelings included, not bothering with the distorted society
There is nothing like ‘grasping it deeply one by one’

Only embracing admiration, gathering illusions
If I am to be told that those are grim prospects

Even a small tragedy swells up sadness
Everything seems to disappear in the tense atmosphere

Even though I am troubled now, that dream is reflected
In your back in the mirror, be ready
It is floating, it’s going to disappear
You forgot

It’s okay to not speak the complaints, if I accelerate
My own decision to live my way of life as I think bit by bit
I will just wish for my frozen fingers to thaw in spring

Until that time, there was nothing

The people that woke up always go on a trackless path
With a living style that has their feelings included, not bothering with the distorted society
There is nothing like ‘grasping it deeply one by one’

1. still in the groove

Hold down your hasty heart
I must be able to finally breathe strongly
The high speed is an imitation

If I become unable to see anything
Losing my surroundings, I advance to the dark city
I think the weight doesn’t work

For example when a big passion gets in the way
I will be intoxicated by the wave of cunning illusions

Even if it is beautiful, even if it is being mislead
Self-confidence is something you have to slip through
Throw away your laughable little pride
Even if you are scared, even if you look back
You can afford to repair it
If you grasp the present firmly now
You will be able to remember the day you were saved

Love! It’s neither a method for relief
Nor a method for living conceitedly
It’s an over-decorated bad emotion

No one believes you
In desiring things like
Looking on the other side of the building and envying

Even if a curtain goes up in the distance
I can’t see my feet, I am drunk with ideals

My heart is swaying, show my your profile
Claim success for yourself
The things I have lost side of
Where the daredevil was justice
It is big, unable to return
It is so very, very essential
Search for an over luxurious treasure
If it is a diversion, you will be able to find it

Even if it is beautiful, even if it is being mislead
Self-confidence is something you have to slip through
Throw away your laughable little pride
Become frightened of the violence
Search for the so very, very dangerous
Over luxurious treasure
You will continue to be lost, still in the groove

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro
