Junai Rhapsody – Takeuchi Mariya

純愛ラプソディ (Junai rapusodi) – Pure Love Rhapsody

from
Junai Rhapsody single,
Impressions album,
Expressions album.

——

Being cheerful is my only merit
But I have sometimes yearned for a risky love
Dramatic events never happened to me
That was how normal my life had been
Since the day I met you
Everything started to sparkle, and my emotions grew stronger
Knowing not a single thing about how to love
This warmth I’ve plunged into was already someone else’s
Every time I punch in my card
The unexpected feeling of incompleteness disappears before I even know it

Even on the stage of love
I never receive more than a supporting role, my script always a single line
Linked by an invisible chain
Is stealing your heart a violation of the rules?
Regretting taking the long road and being too late
I was jealous of the past
And a time I cannot return to
Sighing as my comrades got married
How much longer is it alright for me to not take on a lead role?
To feel so much love for someone
I now know gentleness and strength, and I’m happy with that

The depth of love cannot be measured in form
Goodbye can sometimes change into everlasting bonds
Even if we can never meet again
Your beloved smile will live on in my heart
So, I sing this rhapsody for you
So, I sing this rhapsody for you

Either way, she is an extraordinary beauty
Careless approach can lead to electrocution
Looking out at the sky above even during lessons
Until a piece of chalk comes flying, high school lullaby

Hey, you, it’s mean to destroy a love letter
Left in your shoe drawer without even reading it
Your cute face is so cold
As you turn around in the corridor, high school lullaby

100%, unrequited love
Baby I love you so, like you, like you, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Approaching you is impossible, impossible, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Baby I love you so, like you, like you, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Rejected, but still pretending, Baby

In the crowded bus after school
A sudden break, and I unexpectedly stagger
So close I could feel your breath
Then, a sudden slap, high school lullaby

Hey, I want to know you more
The weekend date
I hesitantly asked you about it
As the evening sun sank, high school lullaby

100%, unrequited love
Baby I love you so, like you, like you, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Approaching you is impossible, impossible, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Baby I love you so, like you, like you, Baby
100%, unrequited love
Rejected, but still pretending, Baby

The summer is spreading rumors about you
Just like a pinball, unable to go in
My light brown tan is all your fault
Shall we try to forget the windless city?
Passion blue in our eyes
In the moment of our chance meeting
We can surely be reborn
Burn, burn, summer thief

Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Our dreams will come true
Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Fly, this is summer

If you invite me to a deserted beach
I’ll leave everything beneath my swimsuit to you
Receive the words of the hot waves
The time when our hands can reach the sun is finally here
Blow, Southern wind
With precious heartthrobs
Summer has taught me
I want to let you hear the echoes of love

Love Love love love Love Me Do
You You you you Sexy and gentle
Our dreams will come true
Love Love love love Love Me Do
You You you you Sexy and gentle
Fly, this is summer

Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Our dreams will come true
Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Fly, this is summer

Misa’s note: There are a few wordplays present in this song.
Koko natsu => “this is summer” or “coconuts”
Ai rando => “land of love” or “island”
Sexy yuu => “sexy and gentle” or “sexy you”

Friends Love Believing~Nukumori wo arigatou – Le Couple

from Friends Love Believing~Nukumori wo arigatou single.

Before you throw away sorrow in exhaustion
Remember how you have gotten to this point
The mountains and rivers that have treasured and brought you up
Remember that they are your connections to life

Remember this when your heart has run dry
The events of your childhood, the smell of your sweat
Remember this when you are hurt by dreams
The warmth of the Earth and the smiles of your friends

We can’t return to yesterday, and tomorrow will soon be here
The sun after rain appears brighter than usual

Let gentle kisses and songs pass out of your lips
Because warmth will create the future

friends love believing, you are not alone
friends make perfection, smiles are born
friends love believing, there is one precious thing
friends love sensation, dash to tomorrow

Before you throw away sorrow in exhaustion
Remember how you have gotten to this point
The mountains and rivers that have treasured and brought you up
Remember that they are your connections to life

Don’t go back even if you have regrets, just wink at your mistakes
Say “thank you” with a wave, and look, the stars are twinkling

Life is a wonderful journey, so don’t be afraid
Let the warmth of your palm reach out

friends love believing, don’t cry when you’re sad
friends make perfection, you can see love, right?
friends love believing, in a future overflowing with green
friends love sensation, miracles are yours

Chapter 4: 14th Original Album “LOVE again” out on 8 Feb!

Everything for this…

Chapter 4 of the 5-month consecutive release project running up to her 15th Anniversary debut is a much-anticipated original album! With songs from “LOVE” (8 Nov) and “again” (8 Dec) acting as prologues, 5 new songs are added to create a compilation of 15 tracks!

The new songs include works by Mr Hoshino Yasuhiko, Mr Tago Kunio, and Mr Nakano Yuuta, and every song is hailed as a uniquely “Hamasaki Ayumi” track that everyone craves. And with the addition of the popular 2012 tracks “You&Me” and “Song 4 u”, this album is complete with a single story and amazing quality!

For the videos, 7 video clips and 7 making clips make up a total of 14 tracks. This is the first time we’re having such an impressive line-up of video content, so one can see ayu in lots of different styles. Also, album videos are being released in Blu-ray form for the first time.

As for the limited edition, due to lots of requests from the fans, the factory had packed its schedule to produce “jacket cover photo ayupan figures”! Furthermore, rare items like a grand photobook filled with never-before-released photos will surely make this a precious collector’s item for fans!!

Moving towards her 15th Anniversary, ayu’s 14th original album is full of her charm. This is the answer.

Beautiful Fighters – ayumi hamasaki

from BLUE BIRD single + Secret album.

——

Fairytale stories are nothing
But fairytale stories
When was it that I first realized that?

Or maybe there is a relatively
Surreal ending
But it’s too bad, since everyone already knows that

You don’t come riding on a white horse
listen to the music
But with your usual slightly happy-go-lucky mood

we are Beautiful Fighters
There are truly days
When we can’t do stuff right
But don’t stand still, don’t give up
All us pretty girls living life are
Beautiful Fighters
Wounds that can’t be healed
May reopen sometimes
But they will always close again

Glass slippers are surely too delicate
I feel that they are not up to
Dashing through this era

They’re not the perfect size anyway, so maybe
never stop my dancing
I’m like you, your slightly happy-go-lucky comrade

we are Beautiful Fighters
Tonight, we might have
Cried just a little, but
Tomorrow is a brand new day
All us pretty girls who fight that are
Beautiful Fighters
I mean, we know that
All our desires
Can never be completely fulfilled

we are Beautiful Fighters
There are truly days
When we can’t do stuff right
But don’t stand still, don’t give up
All us pretty girls living life are
Beautiful Fighters
Wounds that can’t be healed
May reopen sometimes
But they will always close again
we are Beautiful Fighters
Tonight, we might have
Cried just a little, but
A brand new tomorrow
All us pretty girls who fight that are
Beautiful Fighters
I mean, we know that
All our desires
Can never be completely fulfilled
