The road protuding from the scarlet blinds
Summer is coming soon again this year

Under the faded blue sky
In the cafe where I used to wait for you
Though the clouds passed
Like the hands on the clock
I remained alone

Iced milk
It’s been so long
When was the last time I drank it?
I can’t really
Remember clearly, but
It was before I became an adult
In the family restaurant we loitered in
During summer vacation

You seemed to dash out
From the grove of trees
Holding out your hands
To the other side of sunshine

It’s not your fault
I couldn’t protect this romance
The distance between our hearts
Battered love up
And made you sad

Iced milk
It’s been so long
Because I’ve been drinking too much coffee
I’ve stopped wanting
To drink other things
Unlike that time
Come, let me add in gum syrup
Lots of it

The ice in my glass
Have all melted

Iced milk
It’s been so long
When was the last time I drank it?
I can’t really
Remember clearly, but
It was before I became an adult
In the family restaurant we loitered in
During summer vacation

Hell or Heaven – AKB48

from Team Surprise 2014 7th Single – Hell or Heaven single.

A harbour shrouded in fog
In this silent night
The yellow cab you came in
You can send it back

If you want to escape somewhere
Wait at the wharf
Johnny the handyman of darkness
Is in charge of the plan

Come, light up the lighter here
Shut it, then light it again
Once, twice, thrice

Can you see
All the way to Nakhodka?
The light of hope
(Far far away)
Love will
Change everything
Stowaway on the Russian ship
Freedom

The pursuers will
Come soon, right?
The boss won’t forgive you

If you touch
The establishment’s dancers
It’s a question of honor

Come, the old board is coming
Whistles as a signal
Once, twice, thrice

Can we reach
The new world?
Taking each other’s hands
(Journey of dreams)
The money you’ve stolen
I’ve sunk it all
We have nothing, but I wanted to smile
Freedom

Hearing gunshots
Once, twice, thrice
Did something happen?

We’re almost
At Nakhodka
I can vaguely see it
(Swayed by the waves)
Aren’t you glad
You came with me?
I’m sleepy, so let me sleep
Hell or Heaven

Can you see
All the way to Nakhodka?
The light of hope
(Far far away)
Love will
Change everything
Stowaway on the Russian ship
Freedom

Youchien no sensei – AKB48

幼稚園の先生 (Youchien no sensei) – Kindergarten teacher

from Team Surprise 2014 6th Single – Youchien no sensei single.

I sometimes wondered
About my own future
“I want to be that”
I never had such ambitions

Hairstylist, wedding planner
Baker, nurse, and more
I had some vague ideas
But no confidence to pursue them

But at some point, I realized
I want to feel happiness
Ah, a dream profession
That I can try right away

Yes, a kindergarten teacher
I’ve always loved children
Playing the piano, singing songs
And playing games
Yes, a kindergarten teacher
I think I have a maternal instinct
Even a crying child
I’ll somehow
Make him smile again

All my friends around me
Are either married
Or studying overseas
Everyone doing their own thing…

Voice actor, athlete
Vet, nail artist, and more
All the wishes I’d written down
I couldn’t grasp any of them

But I’ve slowly come to see
That I didn’t know how
To take on those jobs
A degree that comes from my dreams?

Say “Hey! Teacher!”
In a sweet voice as you climb into my lap
Even if you dribble snot on my apron
I’ll forgive you
Say “Hey! Teacher!”
As you pull on my hair
I’ll laugh and forgive you
Definitely
I won’t get angry

Yes, a kindergarten teacher
I’ve always loved children
Playing the piano, singing songs
And playing games
Yes, a kindergarten teacher
I think I have a maternal instinct
Even a crying child
I’ll somehow
Make him smile again

Come here, all good children!
I’m a teacher
