4. Nageki no Hana
In a sunset faraway where shadow and light meet,
As if burning, the western sky is dyed in blood
Could it be crimson tears of doubt?
Are our passing feelings crying out?
What did I wish at that time? What did I long for that time?
Even so, my heart will still long for you
The dream of a solitary hill, my unrewarded love is fine as a buried corpse
The wounds in both illusion and reality will equally perish, but
love will devotedly command my chest
and protect only you whom it wants to protect, to the end
Even in the dark night, a dim light shines through
it won’t let the world be wrapped in darkness
Heaven also drops silhouettes onto earth,
unable to illuminate everything
What have I encountered since then? What have I carried with me since then?
Even so, I can only penetrate the truth
A flower of lament, the unreached figure of an unspoken love
For you, I don’t even mind using up this body
Love will disturb us, even if I will be torn up by a violent thirst,
I will live the dream I believe in, and I will die by that dream
A sand cloud is floating and impregnates the wind
There are no defeated, even in the trees, the water and fire,
if as much as even righteousness fades within oblivion…
Then there’s the dream of a solitary hill, my unrewarded love is fine as a buried corpse
The wounds in both illusion and reality will equally perish, but
love will devotedly command my chest
and protect only you whom it wants to protect, to the end
Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro

2. Get Back
Your stolen smile was locked up without a place to go
Closing your eyes and praying doesn’t change anything, even now
Let’s wipe away the weakness we fear,
in order to get it back without fail, I want to yearn more for strength
Until the day we fight, I want to offer
all the limited time we have to you
I really feel like this, I just want you to smile like you used to
As long as there’s an answer, I don’t feel pain
There’s also no use in worrying anymore
It dashed out, my unwavering heart
I won’t give this up, let’s make it come true, I’ll keep going after it
You changed the me from that time who was bursting with weakness
The overflowing feelings that taught me happiness, even now
You’re my beloved person, these feelings well up my heart
‘Do miracles not happen?’ And you laughed, ‘Why don’t you make them happen!’
Let’s leave this parched city and fulfill our wishes
That’s right, we can’t go turn back, let’s open our eyes
We have no need for regrets, let’s fight the place the two of us belong
I wish in the moonlight, this time it’s my turn
I won’t lose anymore, I’ll come out to meet it
No matter what happens, I won’t waver
If we take our souls into our arms, let’s raise them up ahead
I want to be stronger together, the beating in my chest won’t stop
Let’s make a promise, we’ll make it to a beautiful future
The day to fight has come, piercing our determination
That’s right, I want to offer everything to you
We’ll get stronger again if we make it through the night, I want to protect only you
I wish in the moonlight, this time it’s my turn
I won’t lose anymore, I’ll come out to meet it
No matter what happens, I won’t waver
If we take our souls into our arms, let’s raise them up ahead
Wow, wow…

1. Never Surrender
The wheel of destiny that pulled us in
in an instant, reflects our dreams on the ever-changing happiness
as if on a glistening lake
It reverberates deeply, almost gently, almost fleetingly
It digs into my chest (feel sharply), stubbornly yearning (happy with you)
Erasing the loop of sadness that loneliness connected me to
What I wish is
Embracing numerous nights like the new-born sun
I want to snuggle close to you and illuminate everything
Even if we get hit by the grieving, violent rain
this love that never withers will guide us
Keep believing in the promise we made that day
People always feel sorrow in chasing what they’ve lost
They cower while being swept around by ‘what ifs’ they can’t return to
Their wounds don’t heal, almost nobly, almost dazzlingly
They only ever searched for (desired place) a tomorrow called ‘eternity’ (seeking answer)
They fear to confront the truth that is today…
What I pledge is
I won’t let the future I’ll paint with you like a flowing fountain
be destroyed by the cruel hands of time
That’s my resolution for protecting the one place we belong
I won’t avert my eyes anymore from the end of this path I headed for,
No matter what’s waiting for me
Just as the shining stars are calling out to each other,
your smiling face always beckons me
What I wish is
Embracing numerous nights like the new-born sun
I want to snuggle close to you and illuminate everything
Even if we get hit by the grieving, violent rain
this love that never withers will guide us
Please never forget the promise we made that day
I will definitely come to meet you
Lyrics: Shihori

4. Hungry Hungry
Hungry, hungry!
Can’t wait anymore!
Every time the notification sound rings
my heart jumps up
Wait a minute! I can’t reply to the feeling of eating!
Day and night, I keep pulling back
Hey, this indirect expression… is there hope?
I want you to invite me on the first date…
I’m head over heels with both sour and sweet
I have to eat it, I can’t be satisfied without!
That’s why
Juicy lips, standby OK!
Don’t miss the timing of the season
“I want you!” so much I can’t ignore it
The siren of the instinct to survive
Love me with greed
Hungry, hungry!
Can’t wait anymore!
Saying that you’re ‘putting love on energy-saving mode’
because ‘our future prospects will cause an unstable time’, it’s counter-productive
The goddess of fate is running through elegantly
Counting on our fingers, both reading the atmosphere
Let’s stop overlooking it, okay?
Even a piping hot midsummer’s love
will get cold if you don’t eat it straight away
Throwing out the screen
Take my hand right now, baby
I’m done postponing it
Hungry, hungry!
Don’t wait anymore!
Hungry, hungry
Hold me, hold me
Kiss me, kiss me
Taste me, taste me
Life is short and two fall in love
I have to love, I can’t be satisfied without!
That’s why
Even a piping hot midsummer’s love
will get cold if you don’t eat it straight away
Throwing out the screen
Take my hand right now, baby
Juicy lips, standby OK!
Don’t miss the timing of the season
“I want you!” so much I can’t ignore it
The siren of the instinct to survive
Hungry, hungry!
Can’t wait anymore!

3. Birth of Legend
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow…
If you’re trying to create things that aren’t here yet,
you must start with throwing away heuristics and pride
If you’re trying to get something back that you once embraced,
you need double as much strength to create something from zero
Ah, looking at the collapse, rather than lament,
ring the bell of hope loudly with those hands
Can you feel the heartbeat of the beginning?
Stripping away the weathered value
If I soak up the newborn sun, I shouldn’t feel like I will lose
Set free that new self and aim for further progress
I will start walking now, especially these days
The history beyond, now is the birth of a legend
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow…
If it’s a scenario from the gods,
It’s not elimination, it’s auto purificatory activity
We who resist have always been tested
Ah, through the door of reformation,
each our own feelings will penetrate our doubts
and soar high into the sky
If right now we are living in a future that someone created
that’s right, let’s leave behind our dreams in the future as well
Can you feel the heartbeat of the beginning?
Scorching our frozen chests
A light shines, it invites us to the sky
We will travel again
Hold the dream, even if you can’t see it yet
We will continue to change
Let’s advance in this world together
The history beyond, now is the birth of a legend
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow, wow, wow, wow…
Wow…

2. Kekkai (feat. Miyano Mamoru)
The road we follow is the sky where cherry blossoms dance
Following our heartbeats, crossing through time
In a remnant of a dream that passed
Taking care of the flowers, people reminisce about the distance
If you pull in the entangled thread, that’s where you’ll know
The heart is also fleeting, fragile
(What can you see?)
That’s right, it’s because you run away
everything becomes a trap for loneliness
Why does it have to be like this?
All things must pass, all universal things lack an unchangeable substance
Even if everything is an endless moment
There is nothing to fear
It starts from here on, right now
If tomorrow will come
while you let it drift and leave it like that
It’s okay to just look straight at yourself
The end is the beginning, life is a connection
We can’t untangle the tied bonds anymore
Not even after this
Someone’s voice will keep telling the story
of the reason for our tears that left those traces
I shook it off, the same pain
will heal the deep warmth more than words
The road we follow is the sky where cherry blossoms dance
Even in the eternal wheel of rebirth
I want to grasp the answer
Because it’s definitely there
If tomorrow will come
while you let it drift and leave it like that
It’s okay to just believe in the you from yesterday
The end is the beginning, life is a connection
We won’t lose the light we found anymore
No matter to what extent
Even though it’s right there without a doubt,
it doesn’t have a shape until our hands touch it
What’s important is our feelings to face the next thing
From now on, surely, right now
If tomorrow will come
no matter where we’re heading,
It’s okay to just look straight at yourself
The end is the beginning, life is a connection
We can’t untangle the tied bonds anymore (can’t untie them anymore)
They won’t change anymore (won’t change anymore)
Whatever happens
Not even after this
No matter to what extent, however
1. WHAT YOU WANT
Hey you’re gonna be brave! (Say yeah!)
Hey don’t give it away! (Say yeah!)
Hey we’re heading for brighter way! (Say yeah!)
Hey you would stand up right away! (Say yeah!)
The nostalgia painting the horizon of dawn
A restless dignity divides the darkness
Do you see it as reckless? Do you see it as an opportunity?
What clears the yet undiscovered path
is an unyielding fighting spirit that won’t break no matter what dilemma
Pursue your mission
What you want, what you want
Don’t lend your ears to misleading fears, just go your way
Tomorrow’s victory
Mow down your doubts and lit a fire to the future
Keep on chasing what you want
Oh noble defeated one, raise your voice
Bite in the bosom of the proud victorious one
A sensible cowardice
Accommodating oneself to the human nature we’re content with
Abandon sophistry and calculation before death and rise to action
What you want, what you want
Don’t reach out for the satisfactory of what other people want, perfect combustion
The signs of revolution don’t falter,
I will continue carrying them on my back
Seek and find out what you want
If you’re swallowed by a generation of displeasure
and you live while embracing despair,
One life, until the last day where we prepare for the ashes,
Go against that destiny that ridicules you, now!
Dash towards tomorrow
That pride can’t disgrace anyone
Shine forever What you want, what you want
Don’t lend your ears to misleading fears, just go your way
The persistent courage is smashed down and yet still shines
With a fury that doesn’t know how to stop
Keep on chasing what you want!
