Tomato

Standard

12. Tomato

Because you insisted on the impossible, we made the veranda into a field
I prepared on becoming your dream

On that side are white people, on that side are black people
Casually, you created red tomatoes

Getting on an aimless ship, life takes brightness
By the time we will get to that nameless piece of earth…

Without hesitation, you are you
Will you become a red tomato in the world?
You are smiling softly to my weak heart
I think I will think the same thing, tomorrow and the day after that
Until death do us part,
life is the reason it ends

Because you insisted on the impossible, we made the veranda into a field
I decided that I would become your tomato

Why is life so fleeting – I know that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter
We call that which makes us stand on that nameless edge ‘fate’

Without hesitation, you are you
Sooner or later, the gentle you is feeding
a red tomato in the world
I think I will feel the same thing, tomorrow and the day after that
The day you will quickly eat this tomato and kiss me

The spring sunlight is bluer than I thought
Even though you’re no longer here, I am smiling,
pretending to be strong, biting my teeth

Without hesitation, you are you
Will you become a red tomato in the world?
I will always give water to your weak life
I think I will think the same thing, tomorrow and the day after that
Even if death separates us, my feelings are the reason it won’t end

Nami

Standard

11. Nami

My memories are the color of tears
I softly, softly brought them near my beloved person

It’s soaking into my heart, the summer of disappointed love
wandering steadily, steadily on that beach

The waves overcame the wind but… The moon is watching me but…
The radio is soaring through the sky but… the sand is melting you but…
I won’t cry tonight

Your feet that were illuminated by the light shining through the leaves
are running far, far away

The sky that goes on no matter where, in the cumulonimbus cloud
I can’t see you, I can’t even see your shadow

The waves overcame the wind but… the setting sun is pushing my back…
The guidepost guiding me forward is turning away from you on purpose but…
I won’t cry tonight

The waves overcame the wind but… The moon is watching me but…
The radio is soaring through the sky but… the sand is melting you but…

The waves overcame the wind but… the setting sun is pushing my back…
The guidepost guiding me forward is turning away from you on purpose but…
I won’t cry tonight

Fuujin

Standard

10. Fuujin

Eyes closed, not moving
in the meantime, we will become the wind in person

Matching up with the city bells ‘cling-clang’, I call out to him
In this world, you are the center
Let me give the order, monsters of the universe

Humans who climb up to the distance of light
Without dropping that speed, just don’t forget your vigor

Softly preparing myself in the evening city
Carrying my rusted pride and life crammed in a bag on my back

What’s right is what’s called fate
more specifically, it’s called yourself
in this world, you are the only one
the universe is a monster that lets you eat the bitter

Wind people who only burn hope with fuel
like betraying that heart, you will just not ride the wind

Humans who climb up to the distance of light
Without dropping that speed, just don’t forget your vigor

I pretended not to see the darkening sun, a cloud of sand flying up
In this world, you are the center
Let me give the order, monsters of the universe

Humans who climb up to the distance of light
Without dropping that speed, just don’t forget your vigor

Wind people who only burn hope with fuel
like betraying that heart, you will just not ride the wind

They can’t ride it, wind people

 

 

N Kyoku to N Kyoku

Standard

9. N Kyoku to N Kyoku

My feelings as I’m writing a will
is the same as you kissing someone else
even though we are so alike

Eating tobacco, you stretched yourself out, same as me who listened to techno
even though we are so alike

Even if we become adults, we’ll pass by each other
Even if we overlap, one side was empty
so we decided to break up

We ended in a draw with 4 against 4, but when doing rock-paper-scissors, it’s always the same
At ‘one, two-’ we were only ever able to bring out a par

You never apologize even when we fight, I can’t forgive that pride of yours
Even though I am alike in doing the same thing repeatedly

Whether it’s one step, a hundred steps or a thousand, you won’t yield
Because even if I chased after you, our distance wouldn’t change,
I cried

Bye-bye, until we meet again, don’t forget me
Ah, I was really attracted to you, but I guess it’s not you after all

I am an N-pole, same as you, if it’s something I can do I always
want to be at your side but, as I learned from the past

I am an N-pole, same as you, I am an N-pole, same as you
even though we are so alike

Even if we become adults, it will probably be too late
because even if I chase after you, our distance won’t change
I cried
You cried too
We decided to break up

Leo

Standard

8. Leo

 

Raise your hands, Far East barbarians
Tell me, your reason for existing
Leo, look at my eyes
Leo, my Leo

Open your eyes, Far East barbarians
My half asleep self
Leo, look at my eyes
Leo…

Saying things like ‘neither white or black’ looking like you own the place
Nobody listens to that
Even thoroughly outwitting someone won’t make shadows or lights disappear, but
Let’s focus our eyes

Painful, painful struggling stories, almost all of them boasts
Pretending to be bad and spoiling
Every time it’s only tears, every time entrusting it to God?
Ridiculing what’s inside my heart

No matter how much my chest screamed ‘Lay it all bare!’
I am Jekyll and Hyde
Even though I was finally able to sneak in here, nobody can probably come here
Even if I focus my eyes…

No matter how hard I try I can’t say things like sources or devices
Everyone carries everyone, sometimes
caressing that, showing it affection,
Me who burned both my angels and my demons

Raise your hands, Far East barbarians, Reo

 

No matter how much my chest screamed ‘Lay it all bare!’
I am Jekyll and Hyde
Even if I thoroughly outwit someone, nobody can probably come here
It’s neither white nor black, someday I want to say that to you
Live on without hesitation
Ah, even though I was finally able to sneak in here, nobody can probably come here
Let’s focus our eyes

Open your eyes, Reo of the Far East barbarians

Sabitekita

Standard

7. Sabitekita

Will it add up again? Will it again?
1. Gyaru 2. Tequila etc.
As if there’s an unhappiness stirring up through my whole body,
an unusual event in my chest

‘Music magic communicators have zero digitalization’

The decaying midwinter sea fits well, fits well, suits me well
The over-restrained past fits well, fits well, is within me
The butterfly that lost its sense of touch fits well, fits well, suits me well
Fits well, fits well, suits me well
Fits well, fits well, is within me

I won’t hide the intertwining muzzles again
If I collect the unhappiness within the fortune, I won’t be scared

‘Pop bastard, hey rock master, they’re both negative’

The trap of fake information fits well, fits well, suits me well
The over-united fashion fits well, fits well, suits me well
‘Can’t stop’ rather than ‘No war’ fits well, fits well, becomes convenient
Fits well, fits well, suits me well
Fits well, fits well, becomes convenient

The decaying midwinter sea fits well, fits well, suits me well
The over-restrained past fits well, fits well, is within me
But even more than that, rusted people fit well, fit well, suit me well
Fits well, fits well, suits me well
Fits well, fits well, suits me well

Kakera -Subete no Omoitachi he-

Standard

6. Kakera – Subete no Omoitachi he –

On a street corner where a cold wintry wind cried, a white breath that’s sensitive to the cold,
‘At the turn of the season your eyes are easy to catch a cold’, was it?

Within the drifting time when I’m not busy,
even now a drop on the withering leaves is whispering, ‘hello’
Even when the fleeting seasons come around again, I’m thinking of you
I want to tell you what’s reflecting in these eyes
‘Hello’, don’t avert those eyes

It would have been better if it had been more like you to give a blunt attitude as an answer
rather than the condolence of borrowed things overflowing with unpleasantness

No matter how much stronger the feelings grow,
what I will convey is definitely just a little bit

Release it, even if they won’t become words, go towards tomorrow without hesitating
I want to feel it, the echo reverberating in my chest
‘Hallo’, don’t eradicate that voice

It would be better if it conveys, even if it’s a mistake
I want to deliver this phrase to you now

On this asphalt where tears welled up, I will make flowers bloom
Even now I can say it to the night sky that seems about to fall, ‘hello’
Even if tomorrow won’t come, if I can be beside you
I want to tell you what’s reflecting in these eyes
So don’t let go of that hand

 

 

BIGFOOT

Standard

5. Bigfoot

A sincere young boy with a reckless look in his eyes,
as if pretending to be a superhero from the very bottom
When the boring background music stopped playing,
strangely, did my chest throb?

There’s only negative phrases in the air, I don’t even have time to back-channel
I’d like to tell about my one or two biggest dreams, but it’ll mostly likely just become fruitless

A nonstop rollercoaster
Days never stay in one place, upside down
It’s not the time for grieving, even if it’s forced, run away

Jump high with all your might, come on let’s go
one step towards the other side that someone drew
No looking back, tie up your shoelaces properly
When the sun starts climbing, you carve it, the definite proof

In a way, every day is like a car chase, back-and-forth circumstances
Everyone urges you to proceed forward, but
With just stepping on the accelerator going off course you won’t become refined

There’s no way that I’ll become ‘that’ which once appeared in my dream, upside down
Don’t grumble about trivial stuff, it’s just how it is, run again

Jump high with all your might, come on let’s go
Towards the distant other side which someone wished for
Don’t hesitate, tie up your shoelaces properly
To the people whose hearts are pointing at something, even if it’s forced, run away
Yes, another step towards the other side, even though you think you’re not even advancing for one centimeter,
It doesn’t matter baby, you carve it, the definite proof

 

 

Lonesome Ghost

Standard

4. Lonesome Ghost

Swimming in the crowd, an unsociable lonesome ghost
Dreaming away in the world of your earphones

The neon lights of the colored city
hurt your eyes a bit, always walking in the shadows

Your colored hair and your bright voice, everything is made up, right?
What are you afraid of?

Sad lonesome ghost
Tonight as well, there will be an overdose of mad illusions

Swimming in the crowd, an eerie lonesome ghost
Who do you want to smile at you that you’re crying?

People’s hearts change, no matter how much we chase it
there is no end to it

Sad lonesome ghost
Always that needless worry

Farewell lonesome ghost
I will release you now…

Lonesome ghost

Me

Standard

3. Me (Sprout)

In the earth, I’ve been drawing
a blue-colored sun
It doesn’t care about its appearance
It doesn’t care, surely

It will be born again, in whichever form
because it’s a one-way life ticket
Spreading out its roots deeply and see, it’ll go towards the limitless above the ground

Illuminate the fleeting present more than anything
I’m sure the world is beautiful
Let me hear it
The days as you drew them,
a story come to bloom

Before long, one day we will return
inside the earth, you and me
That’s why I want to spread my roots, the image of a limited life

Fulfill the fleeting present more than anything
It’s more precious than any past
Let me hear it
The irreplaceable dream that you drew
is spinning this harmony

When my eyes open it might disappear
Please somehow illuminate the present

The voice of the wind, the tears that the sky sheds
they are all so wonderful and they are shared
The irreplaceable dream that you fulfilled in your chest
just sprouted

Illuminate the days as you drew them
what bloomed in that story was a flower with your name
