SEASONS – ayumi hamasaki

from SEASONS single + Duty album.

Another season has come around this year
And memories drifted further away
The boundary line between vague dreams
And reality became thicker

Even so, the dream I discussed with you
Did not contain a single lie
La La-i

Today is really enjoyable
Tomorrow will surely be enjoyable
And the days will continue this way
That was what I used to think

In these days which repeat themselves
There is a slight feeling of incompleteness

Maybe it’s because this unnatural era
Had made me give up anticipation
La La-i

Today is really saddening
Tomorrow may bring tears
Even though there were such days
A day with smiles will come

Cycling around and around countless times
The limited seasons go on
With us living through the here and now
Just what will we find?

Far away – ayumi hamasaki

from Far away single + Duty album.

Just like new, just like me, just like you…

Back when the two of us still called each other lovers
That ocean which we visited, I’ve come here alone
And then, as I search for the scenery I’ve forgotten at some point
The sound of the waves are somehow so gentle
And I feel like crying

Just like new, just like me, just like you, reborn…
Happiness, just speak of it and, look
It has slipped through our fingers, such a formless thing

You said “I’m going to find myself” and left
The ocean has spread even to those memories
Somewhere, the ocean will meet you, connect you, flow to you
And we will surely look at the same scenery

Everyone says this love is like a station where the train doesn’t stop
But for us, there was a starting and a terminal station
uh-lalalai Isn’t that right?

Summer will be here soon. A summer without you…

You are in full bloom
Like a beautiful open flower
After that, you’ll just silently
Wilt away…

I’ve realized that everytime
I turn around, you were there
Smiling at me
ha- ha- haaa-

I’ve realized that all this while
I’ve been singing
Only about you
ha- ha- haaa-

But, in the end
This is proof
That those days had existed
Without any regrets

I’ve realized that I’m here
At this far away place
After running all the way
ha- ha- haaa-

But, in the end
This is also proof
That you had existed then
Without any regrets

You are in full bloom
Like a beautiful open flower
After that, you’ll just silently
Wilt away…

You are in full bloom
Like a beautiful open flower
After that, you’ll just silently
Wilt away…
halahala…
