I’ve been searching for you, who have strayed away, my voice drowned out
Your hand in my grasp was trembling then

Our emotions embraced lost time and soared high

The kaleidoscope makes the sky glitter, your awkward smile adds to my overflowing affection
Before the light melts away, I pray in my heart
That I will never forget this moment for eternity

The clock’s hands progressed as I forced out a smile
Which you saw through as I held you close before dawn

Violent emotions burned each second, patching up the starry sky

Tracing the ring of light with a finger, you seem happy as you made merry, and the world shines
Even when the hour of magic ends, the bonds we promised
Will always live on in this heart

Looking back on the countless days with you, hey
They are so bright, like a star mine

The sunrise in rainbow colors, after the festival, I drown alone in lingering memories of you
I’ll walk on, embracing warmth, thank you for this miracle
And I’ll pray to meet up with you again someday

The kaleidoscope makes the sky glitter, your awkward smile added to my overflowing affection
Before the light melts away, I promised in my heart
That I will never forget this moment for eternity
The star mine blooming in the distance, coloring the sky

出逢いの続き (Deai no tsuzuki) – After a meeting

from Deai no tsuzuki single.

What comes after a meeting
Is what we choose for our future
Overcoming our coincidental relation
A single love was born

You were like the passing crowds
At the same old pedestrian crossing in the city
Someone I cannot recall
Like a momentary friend

What comes after a meeting
Is being attracted to each other for a reason
Not yet realizing why
We exchange countless promises time and again
We were just acquaintances at first
But gradually, our hearts approve of each other
Because of this unconscious process
We’ve become each other’s treasure without knowing it

It wasn’t not about exciting feelings
But compatibility
Giving me relief when I see you before me
Even without you even trying to

What comes after a meeting
Is a most natural relationship
Because with you, I could show
Even all of my selfish character
Getting to know other acquaintances
Our relationship remained unchanged
Even when we can’t meet
My feelings alone continue at the bottom of my heart

There’s no need to reaffirm
How you feel about me
What makes me trust you are not your words
But that you can make me smile again tomorrow
Yes, love is natural elimination
Leaving only irreplaceable truth

What comes after a meeting
Is what we choose for our future
After lots of repeated separations
I’m searching
For that single person
To be tied to

What comes after a meeting
Is being attracted to each other for a reason
Not yet realizing why
We exchange countless promises time and again
We were just acquaintances at first
But gradually, our hearts approve of each other
Because of this unconscious process
We’ve become each other’s treasure without knowing it

Only you
