Bokutachi wa tatakawanai – AKB48

僕たちは戦わない (Bokutachi wa tatakawanai) – We won’t fight

from Bokutachi wa tatakawanai single.

——

We won’t fight
Because we believe in love
Even those fists raised high
Will be brought down someday

Hate is a chain
So let’s break it now

If the amount of tears to be shed in this world
Is a fixed volume
Then shall we share the load together?

We won’t fight
Because we believe in tomorrow
Beneath the clouds of despair
We search for the blue sky through the rift

Humans are kinder than you think
So don’t give up on anything

Smiles are the sun
And will warm you up when you’re cold

If the cause of pain is accumulating
At the back of someone’s heart
Then let me hear them all

We won’t fight
Because we believe in love
If we just exchange blows
Nothing will be settled

We no longer wish to entrust it all
To a single button
Sorry for all the trouble I’ve put you through
Let’s forgive each other

We won’t fight
Because we believe in love

Even those fists raised high
Will be brought down someday

Stress free – miwa

ストレスフリー (Sutoresu furii) – Stress free

from ONENESS album.

——

Our recent dates have all been spent at home
what!? (so frustrating) what!?
And you’re being so inattentive to me
what!? (so irritating) what!?
I should be treasured, but it’s totally unbelievable
How cold your emotions are, in a cool down. what!? what!?

I’m tired of enduring, going to declutter with minimal rhythm

Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a break!
Stop bothering me!
I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna… Can’t match! With you!
It’s not that I hate you, but goodbye to us
Stress free

Promises for the faraway future are powerless
what!? (needless worry) what!?
Even if you don’t tell me that I’m not charming
what!? (I know it) what!?
Are you the type to stop feeding the fish once it’s caught?
Gentlemen should put ladies first. what!? what!?

Because I still loved you, I couldn’t leave you in those overdone days

Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a break!
Stop bothering me!
I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna… Can’t match! With you!
Sorry, I can’t understand you
Driving away lingering affections
Stress free

“Tell me if you want to get back together”!?
What an overbearing attitude!
I’m the one dumping you! You! You! You! You!
You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?!
Oh, you’re so annoying!!

Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a Give me a break!
Stop bothering me!
I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna… Can’t match! With you!
If the pain’s only going to last for now, then I’ll go alone
Stress free

Philosophy – miwa

フィロソフィー (Firosofii) – Philosophy

from ONENESS album.

——

Chasing, not enough, hoping, being filled
(life will give you bittersweet)
Fidgeting, heart pounding, as we taste happiness
(we have not suffered in vain)

This era is dark? That’s not true. Bye bye to negative thinking
Philosophy Philosophia
This era is dark? That’s not true. Say cheese, hello to loneliness
Philosophy Philosophia

A wish to understand will help to nurture love
(engage honestly with you)
An assumption of understanding births friction
(love can turn to hate sometimes)

Yes, there’s nothing to worry about. The world is doing well
Philosophy Philosophia
A future colored with images, each a unique paradise
Philosophy Philosophia

Now, now, we can’t meet. Looking up at the sky filled with countless stars
Without you, words are meaningless
And things just can’t begin

This era is dark? That’s not true. Bye bye to negative thinking
Philosophy Philosophia
This era is dark? That’s not true. Say cheese, hello to loneliness
Philosophy Philosophia

Have fun!! – Ayaka

from Rainbow Road album.

——

Right after a vacation
Our steps are slow
But let’s enjoy

With a mood like on
Friday afternoon
Let’s feel it all the time

Look, the sky is smiling

1step, just walk
2step, and it’ll spread out
A large sky, a tiny me
1step, let’s say
2step, we hesitate
That’s just nonsense

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…

Face full of smiles
Pointing at the sky
Like a merry child

What is there?
Just look up
Prepare to take a photo

Look, the sky is smiling

1step, everyone’s
2step, smiles
Overflow and form a circle
1step, slowly
2step, approaching
Airship and the future

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…

Never mind Never mind
Never mind Never mind
Such days are common
Never mind Never mind
Never mind Never mind
Every failure can be fun

1step, just walk
2step, and it’ll spread out
A large sky, a tiny me
1step, let’s say
2step, we hesitate
That’s just nonsense

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Yeah!!!!

Anything for You – ayumi hamasaki

from A ONE album.

——

Traces from that faraway day still remain now
Just how far have we journeyed since then?
Right now, someone else stands at the same place
Feeling the same emotions of confusion as we did

We were hurt so strongly that we couldn’t hide our tears
Our pain has always been relieved only with the passing of time

Hey, I’ll give everything I have to you
My strength, my gentleness, these feelings of love, everything
Hey, so just stay where you are and reach out a little more
Don’t worry, I will surely grasp your hand

It isn’t true that we don’t feel anxiety anymore
But we’ve known the strength to share and support each other
I believe in your words asking for trust
Because I can’t forget your regretful profile as you apologized

You can be too straightforward, unable to conduct yourself
Sometimes, we’ll collide because of that, but just stay that way

Never lose your innocent smile
I’ll become anything if it means I can protect it

I’ll be your umbrella on rainy days so you won’t get cold
I’ll be your wind on sunny days, like a floral fragrance
There’s nothing to be afraid of, I’ll ensure everything is alright
Once we’ve discovered darkness, light will shine and dazzle ever brighter

Hey, I’ll give everything I have to you
My strength, my gentleness, these feelings of love, everything
Hey, so just stay where you are and reach out a little more
Don’t worry, I will surely grasp your hand

The GIFT – ayumi hamasaki

from A ONE album.

——

The birds warble blessings
The petals fall in a congratulatory shower
And there, I see that beloved person

I recall all the memories we’ve shared thus far
And my heart clenches
It hadn’t been a smooth journey, after all

From today, the two of us will climb onto a new step in our lives
As we promised to take and treasure each step
Together, forever

I finally understand that the sorrow and tears
We’ve overcome was all for the sake of this

From today, the two of us will live
To bring each other the utmost happiness in the world
I mean, this love is the only one granted to us by God
A gift

The birds warble blessings
The petals fall in a congratulatory shower
And there, I see that beloved person

ONENESS – miwa

from ONENESS album.

——

Shake the air, sway the earth, these feet, yes, they’re for moving forward
We are moving out, clad in scarlet dresses
Shout out our courage to stand up without hesitation

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Raise those wordless voices now, strike into tomorrow with the feelings we want to deliver
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Throw away the books, leave this town, look at the really important things with your eyes
Don’t worry, we won’t crumble yet, because I’m especially prepared
In that breaking instant, with trusted strength

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Ah, in order to (know joy)
Ah, and sorrow too (but alone)
We can’t feel it (Ray of the sun)
You and I are here, as one ONENESS
(Everyone hopes to feel ONENESS)

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Raise those wordless voices now, strike into tomorrow with the feelings we want to deliver
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

MY ROOM – Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

from Mondai girl single.

——

House facing the sea
I’m searching for my room
The city to create my future in is shining with flair
My room facing the sea

Slightly questionable
As a child, yes, I used to think about it
I still want to realize it now

Want to be surrounded by things I love
Soar out from that cramped place and grasp them with my hands

House facing the sea
I’m searching for my room
The city to create my future in is shining with flair
My room facing the sea

Hey, how’s your mood?
Remembering those troubles make me smile
And want to challenge them again

Excited in my new room
While humming the song of beginnings

House facing the sea
I’m searching for my room
The city to create my future in is shining with flair
My room facing the sea

KISEKAE – Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

(KISEKAE) – Dress-up

from Mondai girl single.

——

I’m still an apprentice in this city, but
Someday, I’ll take everyone by surprise, hocus pocus
Look, let’s dress up in just an instant
I’ll entrance you with my transformation magic

I’ll be reborn, a new me
Romantic, dramatic, cute and more
I’ll be reborn, let’s go to a new world
Plastic, maerchen-tic, we’ll be free

An old lady taught it to me long ago
A surprising magic that I can’t use yet, hocus pocus
Look, let’s dress up in just an instant
Transformations are fun, come, let’s go again

I’ll be reborn, with new feelings
Romantic, dramatic, it’s not a magical dream
I’ll be reborn, let’s go to a new world
Plastic, maerchen-tic, we’ll be free

Flipping through the pages and puzzling over things alone, NO
Imagination, magic, I want to master them as a witch girl
But Mama knocks on the door and shouts at me to go to bed
Let’s continue in our dreams, in our dreams

I’ll be reborn, a new me
Romantic, dramatic, cute and more
I’ll be reborn, let’s go to a new world
Plastic, maerchen-tic, we’ll be free

Yoru no kyoukasho – SKE48

Performed by Selection 17 “AKB49 ~Renai kinshi jourei~”.

夜の教科書 (Yoru no kyoukasho) – Night’s textbook

from Coquettish juutaijuu single.

——

The asphalt road soaked by rain
Neon and pearls scattering
Someone’s dropped her necklace
A period in place of goodbye

I’m sick and tired of romance
In the end, it’s always
One party being selfish

The shopping district is the night’s textbook
Something they don’t teach in schools
Passing through the thick of it
You’ll understand the difference between motive and facade AH-

To put on the uniform or not?
That’s the big problem here
Adults decorate the filth in their hearts
With something conspicuous

The world is like a river
Flowing silently
And falling away at some river mouth

The shopping district is the night’s textbook
Something teachers won’t understand
Everyone passing along the street
Has forgotten the dreams they used to have AH-

If flowers don’t bloom (and remain as buds)
Don’t make me anticipate them (don’t need tomorrow)
If I’m just going to get hurt (then the one hurting me)
Please teach me, someone
Someone…

The shopping district is the night’s textbook
Something they don’t teach in schools
Passing through the thick of it
You’ll understand the difference between motive and facade AH-
