Tegami – back number

手紙 (Tegami) – Letter

from Tegami single.

——

Whenever we encounter happy things
We feel like sharing it with others
Maybe that’s because making others happy
Will help them grow more than ourselves

When my body feels sluggish
I’ll definitely drink ginger and honey
I can’t help but remember how you nagged about it
Protecting me even when we’re apart

You were always smiling as you waved
So that I won’t lose my way home
So that when I couldn’t face forward
I could always turn around and see you
I am loved
I have realized that
Someday, I’ll sing of it

I grew conceited, left the city
I finally realized that I’ve lost my way
As I glared at the passing people with hatred
Even so, I wish that someday
I will be praised, and at that time
You’ll be proud of me

The day when I returned with skinned knees
You somehow seemed more in pain than I did
That memory has changed, and now, it’s still
Protecting me even when we’re apart

You were always smiling as you waved
So that I won’t lose my way home
So that when I couldn’t face forward
I could always turn around and see you
I am loved
I have realized that
Someday, I’ll sing of it

The words I wish to reply to you
Someday, I’ll sing of it

NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU – Koda Kumi

from SUMMER of LOVE album.

——

No one else but you

you are sunshine
It’s a common phrase, but

always want to stay by your side
This really warm place

Within me, a power dyes everything red
won’t you stay with me
listen to me baby

If you should feel lonely
that’s why I’m singing
no one else but you
I’ll cuddle close and sing together with you
you got me singing
no one else but you
no one else but you

Whenever you are here
A comfortable wind blows

I love your simple form, without decoration

Even on a day when light is obstructed
Let’s feel the rhythm
And sing this song

If you should shed tears
that’s why I’m singing
no one else but you
Because I want to see your smiling face
you got me singing
no one else but you
no one else but you

I want to protect, you believe me
Let’s ride on clouds and dream, hope & dreams
no one else but you
The person you are now, yes
Can achieve anything

If you should feel lonely
that’s why I’m singing
no one else but you
I’ll cuddle close and protect you
you got me singing
no one else but you
you got me singing
no one else but you
no one else but you
no one else but you

Ohhhh yes Missing you
Ohhhh but Time to move

It’s alright for you now
To not forget this reality

To beautify it too much, No way!

Tatta hitotsu – Makino Yui

たったひとつ (Tatta hitotsu) – Just one

from Kimi no erabu michi single.

——

When the gardenias bloom in profusion
I send my thoughts to you from under a faraway sky
“How have you been?” I write in a letter
Sorry for always pretending to be too busy

Your warm smile and the time we spent
All of it are my treasures
Before the days sped by so quickly
I think I’d noticed that just a little

If only I could have honestly said “thank you”
But your kindness had already moved far away
I regret making you worry

The light shining on this vacant room
Started to take on a slightly lonely shade

I’ve always been weak, even today
I’m just acting tough
Speaking words contrary to my emotions
Unknowingly, unknowingly hurting you

My tears flow without stopping as I say “thank you”
This love which has remained unchanged since we were young
Still soothes my heart even now

Because it is formless, I’ve always longed to have it
If only I can just grasp one precious thing

In truth, you protected me more than anyone else did
I’ll dash now straight
Towards you

“Thank you”
“Sorry”
“I’m back”
[Welcome back]
You greeted me with countless smiles
“How have you been? I’m happy”

Kimi no erabu michi – Makino Yui

きみの選ぶみち (Kimi no erabu michi) – Your chosen path

from Kimi no erabu michi single.

——

The flower petals fall in this meaningless city
As the thing which cannot be duplicated reflects only in your eyes

To my friend, who will never forget the Western sun’s halation
No matter what happens, don’t look back, go straight ahead

You go down your chosen path
Stepping out with your kindness
The galaxy whirling at the window
Is praying for your tomorrow

It’s always morning somewhere in this world
Try thinking of how things will surely start once you wake

Love’s passing brings along sunny days
Someday, memories will become a sword to protect your weakness

You go down your chosen path
Stepping out quietly and strongly
It’s alright, that shining sky
Understands you more than anyone else

When you feel like shedding tears
It’s alright to cry, so let them fall

Humans will disintegrate someday
Everything is just a once-off dream

You go down your chosen path
Stepping out with your sacredness
Dreams will surely bloom in auroras
And wait for you in the future
