Hey, all you cute BOYS
Standing there smouldering

Just for tonight, the GIRLS
Will say goodnight to bravado

Feel with your body
Like how you do with your heart

We always give way
To the reason in our heads, right?

But when it comes to that, just
Leave your body to the beat

(Feel with your body)

Nothing will begin if you stand there looking
Nothing will become yours
Until when are you going to remain there
Passively sucking on your thumb?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

Don’t be defensive
Try to charm with aggression

Who’s to tell you
What is possible, and what is not?

Be more daring
Just be shameless

No more talk about regret
After what has happened

You can’t be wrong, just
Submit to the beat you’re hearing

(Be more daring)

You won’t reach out by being half-baked
You won’t understand if you don’t touch
Until when are you going to remain there
Feeling intimidated?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

Nothing will begin if you stand there looking
Nothing will become yours
Until when are you going to remain there
Passively sucking on your thumb?

You won’t reach out by being half-baked
You won’t understand if you don’t touch
Until when are you going to remain there
Feeling intimidated?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

ほらそこでくすぶっている
可愛いBOYS達と

今夜だけはGIRLS達も
強がりはおやすみ

身体で感じて
心のままに

頭ん中の理性ばかり
優先しちゃうんでしょう

そんな時はただビートに
身を任せればいい

(身体で感じて)

眺めるだけじゃ 始まんない
君のものには ならない
いつまでそこでそうやって
指をくわえてるつもり?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

守りに入らないで
攻撃的に魅せてみて

可能だとか不可能だとか
どこの誰のものさし

もっと大胆に
図々しいほど

後になって悔やむなんて
ありきたりな話はナシ

聴こえてるこのビートに
従えば間違いない

(もっと大胆に)

中途半端じゃ 伝わんない
触れてみなきゃ 解んない
いつまでそこでそうやって
怖じ気づいてるつもり?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

眺めるだけじゃ 始まんない
君のものには ならない
いつまでそこでそうやって
指をくわえてるつもり?

中途半端じゃ 伝わんない
触れてみなきゃ 解んない
いつまでそこでそうやって
怖じ気づいてるつもり?

No No No… No No No…
No No No… No No No…
No No…

from Boys&Girls single + LOVEppears album.

Misa’s note: A unique point in this song is how the choruses are sung from different perspectives. The first (and last) chorus uses the word “bokura” for “we”, while the second chorus uses “watashitachi” for the same word. “Boku” is a term reserved mostly by males, while “watashi” is used by females. These words were probably chosen to find traction with listeners from the genders by representing both, hence the all-inclusive title “Boys&Girls”.

ta la la la la…

Can anyone stop us, once we’ve started to shine?
Does anyone have the right to stop us boys, once we’ve started to fly?

We often say it
We often dream about it
We often talk about it
“I want to be happy”
Just how many times have we said that?
Just what do we want?
Just what are we unsatisfied with?
Just where are we heading to?
Even when asked
We don’t really have an answer

When I push you forwards
Do not forget
The promise we made
This summer

As long as we shine, we’ll be able to capture tomorrow someday
As long as us girls fly, we’ll be able to find the shining tomorrow

We’re all anticipating
We’re all doubting
Everyone is like this, right?
To be called “a good person”
Seems to imply that one is “a pushover”

The sunrise was so dazzling
It pierced my eyes painfully
My heart clenched
And I felt a little lost

Can anyone stop us, once we’ve started to shine?
Does anyone have the right to stop us boys, once we’ve started to fly?

輝き出した 僕達を誰が止めることなど出来るだろう
はばたきだした 彼達を誰に止める權利があったのだろう

よく口にしている
よく夢に見ている
よく2人語ったりしている
“シアワセになりたい”って
もう何度めになるんだろう
一体何が欲しくて
一体何が不満で
一体どこへ向かうのとかって
聞かれても答えなんて持ち合わせてないけどね

背中押す瞬間に
忘れないでいて
この夏こそはと
交わした約束を

輝き出した 私達ならいつか明日をつかむだろう
はばたきだした 彼女たちなら光る明日を見つけるだろう

本当は期待してる
本当は疑ってる
何だって 誰だってそうでしょ
“イイヒト”って言われたって
“ドウデモイイヒト”みたい

朝焼けが眩しくて
やけに目にしみて
胸が苦しくて
少し戸惑ってた

輝き出した 僕達を誰が止めることなど出来るだろう
はばたきだした 彼達を誰に止める權利があったのだろう


ayu_19980408: A cute sleeping face…


ayu_19980408: But an un-cute sleeping pose.


ayu_19980408: Selamat menikmati☆

ayu_19980408: Because there is surely noone anywhere in this world who is used to losing
(Misa’s note: ayu quotes November lyrics)

keitamaruyama: Three months. People are still here, I know it’s normal. Even so, there is still a feeling of unease and anxiety today. I know it can’t be changed, but if I were to return to 3 months ago, I’ll still wonder what things would be like if it hadn’t happened.

mmanaho: Today’s the third month. There are still 90,000 people living in shelters now, and over 8000 missing.

ayu_19980408: Today’s sunset sky is as gentle as you.
(Misa’s note: ayu quotes BALLAD lyrics)

mikajohn: Last week, I resigned as company president. This is to explain why there were no aid support activities over the weekend. I’ll be able to devote myself solely to creative work from now on, so I feel that I’ve made a good decision, for the customers, the company and myself. I’ll continue to work hard ☆

ayu_19980408: Crying at mummy’s resolution. From your respectful daughter, with applause. Really looking forward to you flying to greater heights ☆
