12. Orange

I wonder why… Why is it you…
In the room where the smell of oranges remains

You’re sleeping so peacefully I almost get envious
I’m looking at you, sleeping with your mouth open

It’s not like you’re a beauty
that everyone would acknowledge
It’s not like you are, but

I love these eyes, I love this nose, I love these lips
The more difficult it becomes to say you’re cute
it becomes precious, it’s strange
These revolutionary feelings
are probably love

On top of the table, I saw an orange that was left behind
For a moment, I thought it looked like you

It’s fine just being friendly, when you take off the hot peel
It’ll become complicated, my body is filling up

The impossible continues
The accumulated stress
clashes with me, but

I got to know strength
I got to know weakness
even so, you are good
Even though it’s important
and there’s also days where we hurt each other
The reason I hold out my hand again
is probably love

Like tying a shoelace that came loose
The place where I am always able to reset my own heart

These hands are good
These shoulders are good
This existence is good

I love these eyes, I love this nose, I love these lips
I don’t know the reason,
It becomes endlessly precious, it’s strange
These revolutionary feelings
are probably love
They’re probably love

11. Tsubomi

The spring wind is shaking the trees
The people who are going back and forth
don’t notice the little bud yet

The birds stretch their wings and leap into the sky
I looked up at them and stood still

The one who decided
that it wouldn’t come true
and that I couldn’t do it
might have been me

Believe in yourself and take one step forward
You won’t know if you don’t try to advance
Let’s start from thinking that
you’ll get there someday
no matter how far it is

After the road has been passed by the pouring rain,
it starts to dazzle, and a rainbow appears

The things that are painful
and the things I stumble over
I know that they’ll all
change into strength one day

I’m fine with being a crybaby, I’m fine with being a coward
I want to be myself who won’t give up
Even if I’m hit by the rain
Even if I’m misled by the wind
Like a bud that never loses

When I look around, all the important people
are supporting you
Lift your head and go forward
Before long, those repeating steps
will become a road

Believe in yourself and take one step forward
Everything starts from that point on
Believe in yourself
and that you’ll get there someday
no matter how far it is
Let’s make the flowers bloom some day

Bud

11. Kono Koi no Story

I was drawn to you from the beginning
I think that now that this weird feeling is love

I wonder how many times
I looked for and watched your short-sleeved back figure

As you turn the page, I mention the fireworks look fun
‘Should we go?’ Are you serious? Just the two of us?

There’s something wrong this summer
My chest is clamoring an awful lot
The fireworks color the night sky
On those nights I want to be with you
My heart beats so fast I have trouble breathing
I gather my courage
I want to become a special person to the special you

When I watch you talk to other girls
the center of my chest always hurts

Without any progress whatsoever
I wonder if you were just being polite

Suddenly I get a text, ‘Where would you be able to meet?’
I panic, what yukata should I wear, what should I do with my hair

There’s something wrong this summer
My chest is yearning an awful lot
The stars are floating in the night sky
My impatient feelings are accelerating
Because in their hearts, everyone
is calling for their precious person
Summer nights become the most painful of any season

In meeting you, I opened the curtain
The story of this love
I’m always heading for where you are
Amidst the crowds of people
I found your figure
(I wanted to see you)

There’s something wrong this summer
My chest is clamoring an awful lot
The fireworks color the night sky

I will never forget this scenery
I’ve never fallen in love
with anyone this much
Be it one year or ten years later, I will still love you

10. Namida ga Tomaranai no ha

The reason why my tears won’t stop
is because I’m vexed not being able to ask how you feel
Before the cherry blossoms fall,
I want to know your feelings

The first time I saw the night scenery from the bay bridge
the way home, the park where we talked until late

Even the day where I was shy
and wore my slightly fancy one-piece dress
I couldn’t say it
There were also days when we showed each other our weaknesses

Are we sounding each other out?
Are we understanding each other?
Can’t we become lovers?
I want to draw a future with you

The reason why my tears won’t stop
is because I’m vexed not being able to ask how you feel
I want to believe you, I can’t believe you
It’s no good not having the words

Before I knew it, somehow a distance was created
Was it just my imagination that you’d opened your heart?

Why aren’t you trying harder
to get to know me?
Maybe me too, and you too
is it because we’re scared of getting hurt?

If it so happens that you don’t have any feelings,
don’t be nice to me
Don’t make me expect things
I can’t just ask you ‘Do you like me?’
because if I do, everything could collapse

I want to hear your voice
I’m searching for reasons

The reason why my tears won’t stop
is proof that I’m thinking about that person this much
But I can’t put it into words
It won’t reach you

The reason why my tears won’t stop
is because I’m actually waiting for your words
Before the cherry blossoms fall,
I want to know your feelings

9. Tegami ~Aisuru Anata he~

Dad, Mom,
thank you for raising me
so cherishingly until today

Dad, when I go through our albums
you are holding the small me

Now, your white hairs and wrinkles have increased a little
it’s a bit sad

Worrying you, getting scolded,
a lot of things happened
I’m sorry for making you experience hardships
please take care of yourself

Dad, Mom,
thank you for raising me
so cherishingly until today
Dad, Mom,
to you whom I love so much,
I will send this flower bouquet
I love you

Mom, how many times
have you greeted me ‘Welcome home’
in your calming voice?
How many times
did we eat the meals together
you made with your warm hands?

In the diary entry from the day I was born,
it says in your kind letters,
‘Please grow up to be an honest and sweet child’
is that what I’ve been able to become now?

Dad, Mom,
you always realize afterwards
that you were loved
Thank you
Dad, Mom,
what am I able to do
for you, whom I love so much
I love you

Thank you for giving birth to me
Thank you for wishing for me
Thank you for scolding for me
Thank you for believing in me
Thank you for loving me
You’ll always, always be my most important people

Dad, Mom,
thank you for raising me
so cherishingly until today
Dad, Mom,
to you whom I love so much,
I will send this flower bouquet
I love you

You always realize afterwards
that you were loved
Thank you
Dad, Mom,
I knew happiness
because I was born as your child
Thank you

13. Anata ha Shiawase ni Naru

You did your best, well done
Let’s just forget everything today

That something might have been different
or that it was your fault

You end up blaming yourself, but you are not wrong
for not being able to return
You will become happy
Because you did your best getting through many difficult things
There will also be nights where it seems like you’ll be crushed on my own
Don’t lose
I’ll repeat it one more time: you will become happy

Starting something new
It doesn’t have to be something big
Trying to stop doing the things
you could never stop doing one by one
Let’s just start changing first

You can definitely do it, so carry your own feelings strongly
Even if no one will tell you, let’s encourage ourselves with
‘We can do it if we try!’
I’ll repeat it one more time
You can definitely do it

It’s okay to spit it out if you’re in pain or if you want to cry
But even with a little bluff you can still become happy
Turn it into words

It will definitely come true, you will become happy
Because you did your best getting through many difficult things
There will also be nights where it seems like you’ll be crushed on my own
Don’t lose

You can definitely do it, so carry your own feelings strongly
Even if no one will tell you, let’s encourage ourselves with
‘We can do it if we try!’
I’ll repeat it time and time again: you can definitely do it

You will become happy
You will become happy

12. Nikaime no Sayonara

With shaking fingers, I rang the door chime
I just came without an appointment, I’m sorry

‘I just came to get my stuff, okay?’
Strangely, I put in strength and my voice got hoarse

Are you eating out all the time as usual?
Your face looks a bit tired
and you still have bed hair

Actually, you’re not dependable
and actually you’re sloppy
But you are kind, so kind
You were always warm
like when we met for the first time
you were acting cool
If you would just remain a strong person
I wouldn’t need to worry, is what I believed

Saying ‘I’ll send you off’,
you don’t have to force yourself
But to my ‘it’s fine’, you say ‘I insist’

We walked this path many times
When we come out of the narrow alleyway
there’s the bus stop and the vending machine

When I try meeting you again like this,
it seems like a lie that we broke up
Are you having the same lonely feelings?
I want you to talk about something
With just the feelings I have now
I can’t let my heart sway
The bigness of our time together
flowingly brings back the memories one by one

Actually, you’re not dependable
and actually you’re sloppy
But you are kind, so kind
You were always warm
We can’t fix this anymore
I can’t let you see my tears
I’ll pretend to be a strong person, okay?
Because I want to show you I’m smiling with all my might
The memories are locked inside my heart

11. STEP

I’m riding the train through the cherry blossoms
I took every morning when I was in school
I wonder how everyone is doing
I remember that we were always smiling

On the sports ground stairs
we were always singing and frolicking until the sun went down
Running through on our bicycles
we went up that hill road together

When a new season came,
we all went our own way
Looking back, looking forward
We became stronger

Even though I’m a bit different
from what I then dreamed to be one day
I did my best, that’s what’s important
There’s days when I become nostalgic
and think about how good those days were, but
I’ll proceed one step at a time
and believe in my present self

It’s been a while since I walked this main street
from where you can see the TV tower
In the places where I came so often
they are now building buildings I don’t know

The pedestrian bridge in the twilight
The wind is the same as that time
Even if it changes, it doesn’t change
I was raised in this town

In my own way (in my own way)
In your own way (in your own way)
we’re taking a step in order to open
the door to the future we can’t see yet

We were always able to smile
after the tears had passed
Even on days that were hard and when we felt we were losing
I knew that I wasn’t alone
Even on days when it doesn’t go well
A step in order to know joy
We’re taking a step in order to open
the door to the future we can’t see yet

Lalala… lalala…

10. Sakura

Fluttering, they fall down
the peach-colored flower petals
and I grabbed your hand I was holding
even more tightly

The straight road with endless cherry blossoms
The wind softly envelops us

I didn’t know that I could
feel this much happiness
just by walking beside you

Fluttering, they fall down
the peach-colored flower petals
even if the season changes
always be by my side

Just by being able to see your figure
for some reason I can always relax

When I’m having a hard time
I’m supported by you
When I’m having a good time
I want to tell you

Right now, your laughing face
and the voice with which you call my name
it just has to be you
Please understand

I feel as if
I’ve found one single person
if right now, you who are next to me
are having the same feelings…

Fluttering, they fall down
the peach-colored flower petals
even if the season changes
always be by my side

Please tell me you love
at this place next year as well
