COLOR – GARNiDELiA

from BiRTHiA album.

——

If it is unforgivable to stop
Then I’ll continue to walk on like this
“Please remember that you’re not alone”
Even if someone laughs at this unshakeable feeling
And calls it a “weakness”
I don’t care, I want to deliver this straight to you

keep the faith in the headwind
Because I promised to live
Just as I am

oh, true color
So that I can color
The clear sky freely as I wish
oh, true color
There’s no scenery that is certain
Even in days of happiness
Never forget that

In an unknown city faraway from you
Even when I’m dyed unawares
“Please remember that you’re not alone”
Tears I can’t hold back will always
Turn into “strength”
I want to believe, to reach out straight to you

trust myself in this sudden rain
That song that had been drowned out
Is free now

oh, true color
So that the blue of blue
Will be scorched onto my heart
oh, true color
My true self
I always want to chase it and embrace it

Mixing colors
Will melt together someday
A time of monochrome is moving out
oh, true color
I don’t need certain scenery anymore
Even in unchanging days
Never forget that
Never forget that

Hands – GARNiDELiA

from BiRTHiA album.

——

I search in the darkness, lost and fumbling
A sky without a visible exit
Amidst struggling days

Far faraway, floating in the sky
A starry sky with its shine locked in
A floating new moon, disappearing shooting stars
Let me come a little closer to you

Don’t let go of our connected hands
Sorrow is the only thing breathing now
An unseen tomorrow, and cold nights
I can overcome it all when you’re with me

Used to suffering
Unable to find a place to belong
I continued to believe
In a baseless answer

Far faraway, a young dream
Forgot its twinkle, as words disappeared
The moon floating in the sky shone on truth
Embrace me a little stronger

So that I won’t let go of our connected hands
I’ll chain up these eternal memories
I look into your eyes, and see at the bottom
This unwavering, persevering feeling

Don’t let go of our connected hands
Sorrow is the only thing breathing now
An unseen tomorrow, and cold nights
I can overcome it all when you’re with me
I can overcome it all when you’re with me

True Love – Nishino Kana

from Torisetsu single.

——

I heard news about my ex-boyfriend on the wind’s tidings
To think that he’d gotten married before me
ah, it was too sudden, I was shocked
Even though I knew that
Such a day would surely come someday

She is the final person you’ve chosen
She must be very kind

Somehow lonely, somehow sorrowful, somehow happy True Love
Somehow regretful, somehow sad, but I need to be joyful for True Love
“Congrats” “Congrats”
That is the only thing I can say now, but
You’ll always, always, be the one I loved the most

What if I had gotten married to you?
Sometimes, I wonder about that
ah, we’ll probably quarrel over small things
Like changing the TV channel
So this is good

The day we said goodbye, those tears
It’s all stories of long ago

Somehow lonely, somehow sorrowful, somehow happy True Love
Somehow regretful, somehow sad, but I need to be joyful for True Love
“Congrats” “Congrats”
I need to find someone too
A person more wonderful than you

Somehow lonely, somehow sorrowful, somehow happy True Love
Somehow regretful, somehow sad, but I need to be joyful for True Love
“Congrats” “Congrats”
That is the only thing I can say now, but
You’ll always, always, be the one I loved the most

A-gata no uta – Nishino Kana

A型のうた (A-gata no uta) – Song of blood type A

from Torisetsu single.

——

I’m famous for being methodical
But my room is unexpectedly messy
Yet if the door is ajar by even 1cm
I won’t be able to sleep
Can’t sleep, so alone
I hold a reflection of today’s events
I get so involved I can’t stop
Even though it’s already 2 a.m.

Ah, even if I regret it now
There’s nothing I can do
To forget things totally, beautifully
I can’t do that

I mean, I’m blood type A
I’ll definitely worry over this and that
I can be positive sometimes
But I can be sloppy too
I’m totally a blood type A
My heart is more delicate than anything
So be gentle with me
And don’t say that I’m a bother

Looking before I leap
Being cautious above all else
During shopping and on the fast food eatery menu
There’s too many choices, I can’t decide
Can’t decide today’s coordination
A systematic fashion show
My closet grows messy again
But there’s only 5 minutes left

Ah, at last, I pick my old
Trademark jeans
Ah, I want to have an adventure sometime
But I can’t

I mean, I’m blood type A
I’ll definitely put safety first
I can be dynamic sometimes
And I can be bold too
I’m totally a blood type A
Plans are more important than anything
So just bear with me
And don’t say that I’m a bother

Meeting others and paying attention to them
Is blood type A’s strength, but
Why do I always speak of selfish things
To my beloved you?
But there’s noone else I can say it to

I mean, I’m blood type A
I’ll definitely fuss over details
I can be relaxed sometimes
And I may lost track of time
I’m totally a blood type A
Never forget that consideration
So let’s get along
And don’t say that I’m a bother

Sky high – ayumi hamasaki

from sixxxxxx album.

——

If the reality after seeing a happy dream causes you anxiety
If you are afraid that you’ll lose the “now” you believe in

Remember that promise we made
The words I spoke to you are all always true

Faster than the wind, higher than the sky
There is nothing that’s impossible for us now
Like the birds soaring before our eyes now
I’ll take you along and soar away

Stepping out is just as frightening as always, and requires courage
And makes you wonder if things are just going to repeat again

I have enough strength for both of us, so
As long as you have enough kindness for both of us, we’ll be fine

Let’s shine and overcome it
I want to show you what’s over the rainbow
The petals dancing and fluttering at our feet
Gently show us the continuation of our dreams

Faster than the wind, higher than the sky
There is nothing that’s impossible for us now
Like the birds soaring before our eyes now
I take you along and soar away

Let’s shine and overcome it
I want to show you what’s over the rainbow
The petals dancing and fluttering at our feet
Gently show us the continuation of our dreams

Gently show us the continuation of our dreams

Shape of love – ayumi hamasaki

from sixxxxxx album.

——

Just what shape and color does love take?
If only it is something that can be seen or touched

Surely that will make it less complicated and easier to deal with

Even so, people will continue to love and hurt others
Someday, at the end, tears will hold a certain meaning for us

Or maybe it’s good that love doesn’t have a shape or color

Because it is more precious, more sought-after like this

With just one phrase of “I love you”, everything will be alright
It has a magical power that helps us overcome anything

Even so, people will continue to love and hurt others
Someday, at the end, tears will hold a certain meaning for us

With just one phrase of “I love you”, everything will be alright
It has a magical power that helps us overcome anything

Sorrows – ayumi hamasaki

from sixxxxxx album.

——

I reach out, but it’s already too late
I realized that it’s something I can’t regain
This foolish me had escaped all the way here
To this faraway place

Feeling as if the sky I looked up at is no longer connected to anyone

When the strong wind blew, when the rain poured
You alone never gave up on me
On awfully lonely nights, during unbearable sunrises
Just thinking of you made me not give up

If I can still make it, if it’s not too late
Can I believe in love once again?
“There’s no need to be tough
I’ll protect you”, you said

Holding a trembling hand to the sky, I scream now to reach you

When the strong wind blows, when the rain pours
I’ll look at you and walk straight onward
On awfully lonely nights, on unbearable mornings
I’ll spin a dream here, just for you

Are they pointing fingers at me again?
Have they not forgiven me yet?
Are you crying as you see me like this?
Even if I look ridiculous
Even if they laugh at me
I won’t give up again, just for you

In such a world
In this crazy world
Your beauty keeps me alive
In such a world
In this crazy world
I adore your beauty so much it brings me sorrow

Sayonara feat. SpeXial – ayumi hamasaki

(Sayonara) – Goodbye

from sixxxxxx album.

——

I know that you never ever loved me like I still do.
And I also know that I never ever should’ve believed
what you promised me.
How stupid I am…

How could you? Once again speaking a promise
You don’t intend to keep and making me anticipate
But I won’t believe it
I know that you don’t really
Mean it to happen
But isn’t it still the same?
I’m used to it, hurt again and again
Yet it doesn’t bring me down bit by bit
Aren’t I a fool?

Just how, just how, just how
Do I hate you?
Just how, just how, just how
Can I forget you?
Just how, just how, just how
Did it become like this? The self I used to be, hey
Tell me if I can go back
You gotta tell me

Only the seasons change
You left me alone like this
You left me alone, I felt left on the sidelines
Why did you do this to me
Hey, do you, even just a little bit
Feel a pain in your chest when you think of someone?

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To the me in love
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To the beloved you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
With an expression as if nothing had happened
I’ll begin tomorrow
Whatever

Just how, just how, just how
Do I hate you?
Just how, just how, just how
Can I forget you?
Just how, just how, just how
Did it become like this? The self I used to be, hey
Tell me if I can go back
You gotta tell me

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To the me in love
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To the beloved you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
With an expression as if nothing had happened
I’ll begin tomorrow
Whatever

I know there was never ever a future for us.
But I wanna believe there’s a future for me,
out there, somewhere…

Summer diary – ayumi hamasaki

from sixxxxxx album.

——

The sea we gazed at together was too dazzling
So beautiful it’s sad, how can I describe it?
I felt that I understood that cliché phrase
“If only time will stop at this moment”

Every single word gently stains my heart
This season is definitely more special than the others

I want to cast magic over this summer, always
To make myself stay beside you
For the first time in my life, I knew this feeling
Of wanting to treasure something

In that moment I glance away from the sky, suddenly
Its expression changes, so I need to always look at it
Somehow, that is just so like you
You were smiling, but you were being serious, right?

Wilful and free, somehow unable to be captured
This and that and all is due to this season

I won’t forget this summer, always
I’ll write it down in my heart’s diary
If it can, let things stay unchanging like this
I’d like to fill up this page even more
If you can grant me that

I feel everything from you
I just love you, can’t stop it
Your scent and habits are just
All so precious, it makes my heart hurt

I want to cast magic over this summer, always
To make myself stay beside you
For the first time in my life, I knew this feeling
Of wanting to treasure something

I won’t forget this summer, always
I’ll write it down in my heart’s diary
If it can, let things stay unchanging like this
I’d like to fill up this page even more
If you can grant me that

Torisetsu – Nishino Kana

トリセツ (Torisetsu) – Instruction manual

from Torisetsu single.

——

Thank you for choosing me this time.
Before you use me, please read this handling instruction book well
And always treat me gently the right way.
I’m a one-of-a-kind item, so you can’t bring me in for exchange.
Please acknowledge that.

There are times when I’ll suddenly turn moody.
If you ask why
And I don’t answer and you leave me alone, I’ll get mad.
Sorry for always being like that.
But when that happens, don’t get fed up
And just stick by me.

Praising me regularly ensures I’ll last long.
“You have nice nails”
Please notice small changes like that.
Always watch me.
But “you’ve grown fat”
It’s alright not to notice these unnecessary things.

Even when I get a little old
And you get distracted
Please remember that day
When we first met.

Please take care of me from now on.
This is how I am, but smile and forgive me.
Always treasure me.
Because I come with a lifetime guarantee.

My heart will race with a sudden gift of a flower.
On ordinary days
Gifting a small present is effective.
Being sensible is key.
But no matter how short or badly-written
I’ll be the happiest to receive a letter.

If I get wet with tears
Gently wipe them away
And hug me tightly
Because only you can fix me.

Please take care of me from now on.
This is how I am, but smile and nod at me.
Always treasure me.
Because I come with a lifetime guarantee.

Bring me along on vacation sometimes
Or a trendy dinner during anniversaries
No need to be manly
Just be cool and escort me
With a large heart and deep love
Accept my all

Please take care of me from now on.
This is how I am, but smile and forgive me.
Always treasure me.
Because I come with a lifetime guarantee.
