Aishiteru no ni, aisenai ~Otoko gokoro no uta~ – 8utterfly

愛してるのに、愛せない ～男心のうた～ (Aishiteru no ni, aisenai ~Otoko gokoro no uta~) – I love you, but I can’t love you ~Song of a man’s heart~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

I kissed you gently, so gently
If you cry like that, I can’t let go of your hand
My heart is at a loss, unable to find a voice
But we can no longer look at each other

So many things I want to say
And I said them, but
What I wanted to deliver
Was only one thing

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

Crying, you punched me lightly
On the chest, saying “how convenient for you”

I used to embrace you so many times
But now I need to let go

Why did we go wrong?
From the very start
Maybe I shouldn’t
Have ever met you?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

I always relied on you
Always ran away
I didn’t plan to change
It’s all my fault
So this weak self can no longer love you

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
If I say sorry
Can it come back?

Love, love, love, where has it gone?
I love you, but
I can’t love you anymore

Umare kawattemo ~Sono te wo sagashite~ – 8utterfly

生まれ変わっても ～その手を探して～ (Umare kawattemo ~Sono te wo sagashite~) – Even if I’m reborn ~I’ll search for your hand~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

Until your hand gently caresses
My blown-dried hair, I can’t go home

One history ends
I like that story
Because I’ll forget it soon
Tell it to me again and again

Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way
Surely, I’ll search
For your hand
Following my memories

The rain falling outside the window
Overlaps with your heartbeat

I hear the phone from faraway
A sign of goodbye
My heart calls out even now
It’s still hurting here

If I’m reborn and run away from you
Capture my hand someday
Even if this world is fiction
Find me

Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way
Even if I’m reborn, I’ll go to find you
No matter if time gets in my way

Surely, I’ll search
For your hand and grasp it
Following my memories…

友達以上、恋人未満。 (Tomodachi ijou, koibito miman.) – More than friends, not yet lovers.

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

Hey, what’s up with you so late at night?
Suddenly coming to meet me
Bringing anticipation

Hey, why are you talking about that?
It makes me want to blurt out that I love you

Every time we share a laugh (I love you…)
Every time we almost touch (I love you…)

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

Hey, sometimes you stop contacting me
And I get worried about you

Hey, but you’ll come back to me
Don’t go away anymore
I want you here

All your weaknesses (I love you…)
Though I can’t rely on you (I love you…)

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy…

When will I see you next?
Are you going home already?
Every time small memories accumulate
So painful, so painful
Until I can’t hear anything
If you can embrace me now…

More than friends, not yet lovers.
Just what
Do you think of me?
Feelings of love
Seize only me
Your kindness every time
Makes me so happy it hurts

from DRAMA mini-album.

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

Hey, I’ve told you before, right?
That guy is just manipulating you, right?
I know you like him, but watching you hurts me

I want to say “Break up already!”, I want to call him for Emi
Come to my place for awhile? Just come with a change of clothes

We’ll talk all night until you cheer up again
Emi is only Emi, there’s no replacement for Emi
For me

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

Hey, the first time we played together
Was that day we had supplementary classes during summer vacation
Just because she was Emi, I felt strangely nervous

But she’s gotten a boyfriend, and I don’t see her lately
We were only connected through texts and LINE

Emi, who doesn’t show it even when she’s in pain
Until Emi finishes her story, until Emi calms down
Tomorrow, don’t come…

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine
Brighter still

Because she is my precious friend
I get frustrated with her at times
But, I want Emi to always
Always, always, always
Smile…

Whenever you want to cry, just cry
Hello Hello, Emi
Share your painful feelings with me a little
Hey, are you ok? Emi

If Emi cries, I’ll cry too
Hello, Emi, Emi…
We shall shine brighter still
oh oh, shine…

oh oh, shine…

Mada… omoide shashin ~Koibito datta.~ – 8utterfly

まだ…思いで写真 ～恋人だった。～ (Mada… omoide shashin ~Koibito datta.~) – Not yet… Memorial photographs ~We were lovers.~

from DRAMA mini-album.

——

My heart clenched up again
The feelings have not stopped yet
I need to forget, need to forget… impatient

Memorial photographs of the two of us
Have you already deleted them…?
I haven’t done it yet.

Not yet… Not yet…
ah… Not yet…

Photos of birthdays, photos of fireworks
We were always smiling in them
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.
We were lovers…

To always be with you
To grow old with you
I’d decided that in my heart

And I wanted, someday, for two of us
To look through this album
And laugh…

Not yet… No…
ah… Not yet…

Photos of you sleeping, photos of funny faces
We were always smiling in them
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.

Matching gloves
Toothbrushes and cutlery…
I need to throw them all away
I need to throw them now…

Unable to say thank you
I mean, that just felt
Like it would really be the end
So I just cried
I should have said it straight
I should have said it straight
Thank you for being my lover…

Photos of our wedding, photos with our children
I wanted to take those with you in the future
I need to forget those joyful days
Won’t forget that we were lovers.
We were lovers…

Kyomu – LiSA

虚無 (Kyomu) – Nothingness

from Empty MERMAiD single.

——

I’ve been hesitating all this while, but
My heart wavers with each touch, “love” is so ridiculous

Every time the number of experiences increase
I regret, thinking “it shouldn’t have been like this”, but it stains and becomes me

This fragile reality I knew through abandoning all
We touch, we overlap
But the only one I trust is myself

At the corner of the path I follow, I do the folk dance with someone tonight
In this blurred, lost city, I hum the song of loneliness
It doesn’t match, that too-pretty name my mother left to me that I’d forgotten
With no place to return to, I’m fine with being alone

Fixing my tied-up hair
With a sweet voice and wagging tail, I invite a “time waster”

In this night, when one more lie accumulates
I down the awareness and of sin and retorts like a cocktail

Plans of the future which we were all equally born with
I hate them, I hate them
Because I can only be myself

Drenched in thunderstorms, surrounded by exhaust, I’ve found my stance
The dripping raindrops mix gently with tears
Even if I disappear now, I’m sure nobody will notice
We’ll all be alone someday, so I’ll just go with it

This period of tragedy repeated countless times
Slowly, my heart cracked
The scattered fragments, yes, to protect them, even getting hurt doesn’t hurt anymore
Nobody is allowed to come into my territory again

At the corner of the path I follow, a passing folk dance
Turning my back on the too-bright sun, I walk on again today
Even if a prince comes for me someday with glass slippers
Unfortunately, it’s too late, I’m already fine with being alone

Risky – LiSA

リスキー (Risukii) – Risky

from Empty MERMAiD single.

——

Whenever I pout over small things
You always tease me and say I’m just a pretend-adult
Gently aimed at my heart
Complete reversal delusion to you

Before others, I’m quick to act tough, but with you, I turn reliant
This speciality makes me happy, so I don’t want to show it to others

Impulsive feelings flow
There’s no cure for “I LOVE U”, risky risky
No matter how you appear, I’ll love you, I won’t lose this…

How many promises had we made? You’d broken them all
If every single one accumulates, I’ll stop wanting to hold your hand, right?

Your sleeping breath is my lullaby
We played in my dreams, and when I wake in the morning, you’re beside me

Passionate feelings flow
The keen rush of “I LOVE U”, risky risky
But it doesn’t mean that I’ll forgive the lies you speak

If we are Romeo and Juliet
Yes, I’ll chase after you to an everlasting sleep

Impulsive feelings flow
There’s no cure for “I LOVE U”, risky risky
No matter how you are, can I be someone who wants to love all of you?
Don’t want to let go

Damn! The GATE left open, stepping into the Dark, echoing sirens
I know exactly when you’re lying
Gosh! I’m lied to, but why doesn’t this LOVE disappear?
Aside from you, I don’t care about anyone else

Ah, sinking into the deep ocean to a paradise belonging just to us

A whirlpool of innocence, protruding boundary lines
Amen, brilliant eyes
Stopping my selfish voice to protect that impure smile
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Empty MERMAiD love

Dive, soaking wet hair and Skin, licking each other’s Scars
In that midst, your mark dominates me
Call, a sweet voice leaking through the telephone receiver
Touching lips make my heart ache

Hey, look at me, just for now

Breaking flexibility, drowning bluff
Amen, brilliant eyes
Whispering uncertain love to dream just a little
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Somehow so sad

Drifting horizon, can’t sleep because of you
Amen, brilliant eyes
Wishing for unattainable love before I dissolve into bubbles
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG

A whirlpool of innocence, protruding boundary lines
Amen, brilliant eyes
Stopping my selfish voice to show that sour smile
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Empty MERMAiD love

Lost in the deep ocean
Look at me, just for now
