Yume ni iro ga nai riyuu – NMB48

Performed by Team N.

夢に色がない理由 (Yume ni iro ga nai riyuu) – The reason why dreams are colorless

from Must be now single.

——

A wind blows at the back of my heart
Making my weakness shudder…
Unable to live the way I want to
Anxiety spreads out from that crevice

Through our meeting, I realized
Everyone is capable of change…
Romance is (romance is) an opportunity

Dreams are colorless
So that we can check and verify
That something (something) is different (different)
From reality…
So that we can change it later
Dreams don’t come in color
No matter (what happens)
We just have to fix it

To live the way we want to
It’s not so easy to do, but
It’s alright to make mistakes
Defiance is anticipation

Just seeing your smile
Somehow makes me feel happy
That is (that is) chance

We are unable to see tomorrow
Because it’s still a blank canvas
However (however) we like (we like)
We can draw it out
If the future is predetermined
Then there’s no need to strive
Feelings (now)
Let them clash

Dreams are colorless
So that we can check and verify
Something’s (something’s) different (different)
From reality…
So that we can change it later
Dreams don’t come in color
No matter (what happens)
We just have to fix it

片想いよりも思い出を… (Kataomoi yori mo omoide wo…) – Memories rather than unrequited love…

from Must be now single.

The Sun turned against me
And took you away
The slanted shadow of the school building
Pierces my heart

“Maybe it would have been better
Had I not confessed”
I thought dejectedly, but you looked over your shoulder
And said, “But, thank you”

Your grey uniform was too dazzling
Everything else was dark
But this first love shone bright

Rather than unrequited love
I chose to have memories
Your wonderful smile
Is the best reward
Facing you, looking at you
And telling you of my feelings
Even if my wish didn’t come true
I somehow feel so refreshed
That I want to scream

Even as I watch you from afar
There are things I don’t understand
So I pluck up my courage and get closer
Now I see the beautiful reality

Your concern and kindness made me glad
I was right to have
Fallen in love with you

Memories will last forever
Much longer than requited love
I’m not being a sore loser
Because that is the truth
There was pain, but
I learned the meaning of love
Meeting you and falling for you
Someday, when I become an adult
I still want that heartthrob

Rather than unrequited love
I chose to have memories
Your wonderful smile
Is the best reward
Facing you, looking at you
And telling you of my feelings
Even if my wish didn’t come true
I somehow feel so refreshed
That I want to scream

Must be now – NMB48

from Must be now single.

In the closed off
Darkness
What I’m searching for
Isn’t light
It’s screaming
My heart’s voice
Where are those emotions
Headed to?

What I touched
When I reached out
Was a rejected
Wall of compromise
As I close my eyes
I see it
That dream
Is an exit, right?

In order not to be hurt
I escaped into loneliness
With nothing left to protect
I start from 0

(Must be now) I need to go!
(Must be now) Right now…
(Must be now) To that place, Yeah!
(Must be now) I need to go!
(Must be now) Smash through!
(Must be now) Destroy the wall
(Need to go) I need to go!
(Need to go) Along this path
(Need to go) I believe in, Yeah!
(Just do it) I need to go!
(Just do it) Alone
(Just do it) Out of here, Must be now

If you crave for
Someone’s love
Waiting will just be
In vain
Once I know
The meaning of life
I can escape
From this despair

I can always choose
To give up
Not here, but somewhere, yes
I’ll change

(Must be now) I need to do!
(Must be now) Something…
(Must be now) Let’s begin! Yeah!
(Must be now) I need to do!
(Must be now) A tiny
(Must be now) Hole opens
(Need to go) I need to do!
(Need to go) Hope is
(Need to go) Right there, Yeah!
(Just do it) I need to do!
(Just do it) In order to
(Just do it) Grasp freedom, Must be now

(Must be now) I need to go!
(Must be now) Right now…
(Must be now) To that place, Yeah!
(Must be now) I need to go!
(Must be now) Smash through!
(Must be now) Destroy the wall
(Need to go) I need to go!
(Need to go) Along this path
(Need to go) I believe in, Yeah!
(Just do it) I need to go!
(Just do it) Alone
(Just do it) Out of here, Must be now

Must be now
Must be now
Must be now

I’ve seen the light, Must be now
