THINK OF MYSELF – FIELD OF VIEW

from FIELD OF VIEW album.

——

Even when the brilliant summer is over, I still can’t come up with an answer for myself
Before I knew it, my friends had unexpectedly already decided on their futures

Lots of footprints filled with countless sweat and tears
The city and its people are changing, just what will happen to me?

Waiting for that moment someday when I’ll soar out on wings of freedom
The slightly blowing breeze gives my back a push
I want to believe in my possibility, I’m alone now, but
Surely, I want to carve upon this world, proof that “I was here”…

The more I said “I don’t feel any anxiety”, the less confident I felt
But it’s ok to show weakness to the people you truly love

MY LIFE is irreplaceable, I need to THINK OF MYSELF more seriously
If I can’t like myself, then how can I do well?

Once I grasp it, I musn’t let go, this LUCKY STORY that’s running out
If it can be found so easily, then there’s no need for courage
Because I have several wounds and sorrows, I can shine
I’m just starting out, so I’ll walk on slowly

Waiting for that moment someday when I’ll soar out on wings of freedom
The slightly blowing breeze gives my back a push
I want to believe in my possibility, I’m alone now, but
Surely, I want to carve upon this world, proof that “I was here”…

Make it! – i☆Ris

Opening theme for PriPara.

from Make it! single + We are i☆Ris!!! album.

Rather than copying that fashionable girl
It’s the best to be yourself
If you can feel the dazzle of your heart
Then let’s go in search of your ideal!

All these multiplying memories
Divide it into half
And help complete a friend

Make it! We’re invincible when our hearts are racing
Make up! A sparkling future is guaranteed
Dreams are no longer dreams
Anyone can make theirs come true
Lady! Ready to go! Paradise!

Rather than being afraid of your weakness
It’s more important to try to enjoy yourself
Even if you’re helpless alone
With bonds, you can be strong

A sign to match our steps
Snapping our fingers
Together with all our friends on the stage

Make it! Shining hearts are wonderful
Make up! The answer right now is love
This feeling of aspiration
Is the ticket to dreams
Lady! Ready to go! Paradise!

Aspirations are surely
The guide to tomorrow
Your ideal self is waiting there
Let’s step out without hesitation
All the dripping sweat and tears will change into glitter

Make it! Because there’s a dream we can’t give up on
Make up! We don’t want them to remain as aspirations

Make it! We’re invincible when our hearts are racing
Make up! A sparkling future is guaranteed
Dreams are no longer dreams
Anyone can make theirs come true

Nandome no aozora ka? – Nogizaka46

何度目の青空か? (Nandome no aozora ka?) – How many blue skies has it been?

from Nandome no aozora ka? single.

——

Reflected from the end of the school yard, a faucet that someone had forgotten to shut off
It felt like something precious kept flowing right away
As the sound of the wind blocked my ears

Something is also leaking from the corners of my heart
I knew that I couldn’t just leave it be, but
I still pretended not to notice

With an extensive amount of time, the possibilities of anything are endless
And there freedom exists

How many blue skies has it been? Nobody’s been keeping count
The sun will fall and rise again, everyday comes, a natural thing
But something’s being forgotten
How many blue skies has it been? Don’t let youth slip away
Even when living the dream, look up at the sky sometimes (the clear sky)
Don’t let yourself live in futility

As I reached out to touch the faucet’s water
The coldness woke me up
The gushing sheets of spray, like the life I’d been assigned
Weighed heavy in my palms

Even when we think in our minds “I’ll do that someday”
Forever is actually so short

How many blue skies has it been? Nobody’s been keeping count
The sun will fall and rise again, everyday comes, a natural thing
But something’s being forgotten
How many blue skies has it been? Don’t let youth slip away
Even when living the dream, look up at the sky sometimes (the clear sky)
Don’t let yourself live in futility

Just close your eyes, and you’ll hear it
The sounds that are coming from yourself
Us, the sky, nothing’s so clear and simple

We don’t know when the next blue sky will come
So look up at the sky now and start out on something
That we can do today…
When the next blue sky comes, let’s notice it ourselves
Even if we’re crying, the sun won’t set (if we keep looking)
You can become even stronger

I’m living right now (even as time passes)
I won’t let it flow away

It’s been half a year
since Kokuritsu ☆

That sea of green penlights

Everyone’s smiles and cheers

All the congratulatory messages from the blog readers

The happiest moment of my life

Remembering all these makes my heart burn

And then…

That means…

In another half a year’s time

It’s unbelievable…

But I’ll be 20 years old!!

So many things have happened throughout my life

And thanks to everyone, I’ve managed to make it so far
and met with so much happiness

20 years old…

A 20 year-old me…

Fu! I just can’t imagine it (laugh)

And then and then
after Inazuma Rock Fest and Kishidan Banpaku

Summer is coming to an end
this year too

Lots of thoughts and emotions running around

Filling up my heart…

…So, a few moments ago,
I took a few deep breaths

…And that calmed me down a little ^^;

Ah! Thanks to everyone who attended the festivals (*^^*)

For Inazuma,
we covered a song by Nishikawa-san
called “INVOUGE” ♪

We were all so excited de-ariyasu ↑↑

Covers are just so much fun! (*>∀<*)

At Kishidan Banpaku
we managed to do words again this year ♪

Thanks to the generous and kind Kishidan-san,
we were invited to be the finale act.
It really made me so happy de-ariyasu （*^Θ^*）

And lastly,
we all dressed in similar costumes and did a collab on Mouretsu ♪

And then, as if
drawing an end to this summer,
we all watched the fireworks together ☆

And so, without any regrets,
the curtains were drawn on summer (*’-’*)

It’s a little lonely

…But it’s alright ☆

There are lots of events coming up in autumn too ♪

And we’ll surely
meet with everyone again somewhere （*^Θ^*）

So until then, please take care— (*・Θ-*)

Ah! Today is filial piety day
Did everyone know~??

I called up my elders, as I do every year, and we chatted about everything (laugh)

To all the grandpas and grandmas around the country,
I hope we managed to send out lots of power to you… .:*:゜☆

Today’s BGM is AGAIN by DREAMS COME TRUE

We performed at Inazuma Rock Fest and Kishidan Banpaku yesterday!
Let’ start with Inazuma!
When we talk about Shiga Prefecture, Lake Biwa immediately comes to mind!
The stage was right next to beautiful Lake Biwa,
and all the audience at the concert gave us such a warm welcome!
Nishikawa-san! Thank you!
Please invite us again next year!

And then, Kishidan Banpaku next!
Or, Momoclo Banpaku. (laugh)
Festivals are really the bestttttttttt!
I wore a matching festival fashion style with Aa-chan! (laugh)
It was our 3rd time at Kishidan Banpaku, and it always promises so much fun each year!
It’s just the best way to end summer—!
This time, we got to be the finale act, and Kishidan-san dressed up in Momoclo costumes and performed Mouretsu with us!
I’m just so very grateful!
Their dance was perfect too!
So how was the 10-member Kishiclo? (laugh)
Kishidan-san was just perfect!

I had so much funnnnnnnnn ( ^ω^ )
Wanna do it again!
And then and then, lastly, we all watched fireworks together. This whole season was just an indescribably fun summer!
Everyone! Let’s work hard in autumn too—!
