Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Melting in your mouth
My feelings reach out to you
It’s embarrassing
I can’t say it out in words
It’s like secrets et cetera
Aside from the interested parties
Noone else knows
Everyone around us
Unaware of this confession

Love
Should have been so fun, but
Why
Does my heart feel so sad?
So sweet
But bitter

Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
Look, my heart is pounding
And throbbing
The gift of romance
Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
They all look the same, but
Yes, they’re all different inside
I love you!

The things you like
Of course, I should have known
Sugar and milk
And coffee, all in one
Just like a child
Yes, if it’s too bitter
You can’t eat it, right?
Even so, I wish
That you will pick me, seriously

Cocoa
Lots of that inside
But somehow
I want to close my eyes
You understand the bitterness

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Well, right from the start
You’ve already decided, right?
That one right at the end
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Not just sweet
Yes, just try me out
It’ll be stimulating

My bitterness is real

Zero Sum Taiyou – AKB48

ゼロサム太陽 (Zero Samu Taiyou) – Zero Sum Sun

Performed by Team K.

from Ue kara Mariko single.

—–

The speed at which sunset comes is faster today than yesterday
Before I leave, I wish to speak with you

Because I noticed the troubled look in your eyes
I wanted to shine light on the shadows inside your heart

If you do get together with someone you love
It’s alright, just tell me
Now

Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly

The monochrome city streets slowly sink into silence
Can I ask this of you, treating it as a joke?

Confused by the turns of love, your lost expression
Overflows with sympathy and looks so sad

Let’s say, even if you choose to say goodbye
I won’t regret what we used to be
Now

Zero sum, the two of us
As something comes within our grasp
In return, something else will crumble away in our hands
Zero sum, the two of us
Just what are the bonds we should believe in?
Choosing to devote to unrequited love
I’ll just have to accept the future

These memories are so beautiful
Nobody was truly at fault here
Please be happy and full of smiles!

Zero sum
Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly

Brand New Smile – Takagaki Ayahi

from Meteor Light single.

—–

Everything’s gonna be all right
Can’t you say it with a happy smile?

As I looked up at the blue sky
I was suddenly flooded
Predictions fell all over the place
Such was my mood in the downpour
Blown about by the wind, every time it spills over
These feelings I cannot tell anyone
Melt and disappear Let’s try!

Everyday! Everynight!
My stopped heart gently moves on
Everytime! Everywhere!
A smile after rain shines more than the sunshine before it

Rather than tracing the outline
Of a tedious yesterday
Break your shell
And entrust your heart to the winds
Release all the emotions hidden in your heart
To the sky
Aim upwards, Go fight!

Everyday! Everynight!
I prayed hard to be able to always smile
Everytime! Everywhere!
The scenery beyond my lashes are dyed with new colors

If I look down, I won’t find that sunny sky
Aim upwards, Go fight! Someday, Be Shine!

Everyday! Everynight!
My stopped heart gently moves on
Everytime! Everywhere!
A smile after rain shines more than the sunshine before it

Everyday! Everynight!
I prayed hard to be able to always smile
Everytime! Everywhere!
The scenery beyond my lashes, I’ll dye it with new colors
The sunlight is starting to shine

Everything’s gonna be all right
Can’t you say it with a happy smile?

Full title: ALL RIGHT NOW feat.TAK MATSUMOTO&YUICHI‘AIK’IKUZAWA

from 12 FLAVOR SONGS～BEST COLLABORATION～ album.

Dear with my treasure
Your gaze, always on me
On nights when I couldn’t sleep, I silently counted stars Day by Day

It’s time little Angel
Only memories are left like this
Your hand will no longer touch me Time goes by

But I’m all right now All right now
This bond can heal even loneliness
Inevitability, chance, let’s accept them all
Because our feelings are one

Dear with my pleasure
As the days go by, the long road which I’ve paused upon
The wind knows that I am not alone From day to day

Yes You’re all right now All right now
This bond joins everything together
Despair, hope, let’s aim for them
Our hearts will never change

Where does this road lead to?
Nobody knows, but
The sky which I look up at
Has the answer

Yes I’m all right now All right now
This bond joins everything together
That waning and waxing moon
Shines on our loneliness

Yes You’re all right now All right now
This bond can heal even sorrow
Inevitability, chance, let’s accept them all
Because our feelings are one
