Girls – MARiA

from aMazing MusiQue PaRK album.

——

Written as if they understand people’s emotions
You prepare by reading those business magazines
Do you even know what you are saying?
I’m starting to be worried for you

Your displays of wealth are cute
Where do you intend to bring that tab?

I didn’t come to hear your boastings
What do you want from me?
Time is, hey, not free
So don’t speak meaningless words

Don’t show me a pitiful sight
If that’s the case, can I go home?

“Love needs no reason to begin”
Well, it’s totally not beginning at all
“I can change my moods easily”
Nobody asked you about that

Futilely searching for common ground
Please don’t disappoint me any further

Make me want to chase after you
What do you want from me?
This heart without a destination is lonely
Start my silent heart moving again

I just want to smile
Someone, open this door

It’s not like I’m trying to hide my loneliness
Let me be silent

I didn’t come to hear your boastings
What do you want from me?
Time is, hey, not free
So don’t speak meaningless words

Make me want to chase after you
What do you want from me?
This heart without a destination is lonely
Start my silent heart moving again

I just want to smile
Someone, open this door
Don’t show me a pitiful sight
If that’s the case, can I go home?

Present – Dream

プレゼント (Purezento) – Present

from Blanket snow single.

——

The loneliness of nights when we can’t meet
You don’t understand it, do you?
I called you, but how many rings has sounded?
It’s as if my feelings won’t reach out

Stating that you’re busy as a reason
The distance grows between us
So that we don’t slowly get used to it
Catch me quickly

Pieces of emotion I wish to deliver
One by one, connected together
Aside from waiting, there’s nothing I can do
Let this wish somehow reach you

Stay with me no matter what
Sorry for being selfish
Rather than a large present
Your warmth is the best

Stay with me no matter what
Sorry for being selfish
Rather than a large present
Your warmth is the best

What are you doing now?
I just want to know
Sending messages, writing letters
But something’s just not right

It’s really simple
This straightforward feeling
If you don’t lead me by the hand
I can’t move forward

Believing in an unknown tomorrow
Is not an easy thing, but
Reeling in the red thread
I’ve always been waiting for the day when I’ll be happy

No matter the dream, I want
To fulfill them all just with you
Look, the future is shining
Hurry and come back to me

No matter the dream, I want
To fulfill them all just with you
Look, the future is shining
Hurry and come back to me

Blanket snow – Dream

ブランケット・スノウ (Buranketto sunou) – Blanket snow

from Blanket snow single.

——

Looking up at the sky filled with winter’s fragrance
This year’s first snow flutters down

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star
Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

Cold hands held together slowly started to warm up bit by bit
I’m usually bad with cold winters, but just with you around, it changes to warmth

Blanket Snow, as the powder snow dances
The distance between us shrinks and turns warm
This world dyed pure white in an instant
You want to walk through it, and I love you like that

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star
Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

Red and green musical notes gather to form the illuminations
The incessant snow’s dance soaks up me with you like this

Blanket Snow, the North wind blows, but
Because you’re embracing me, I’m not cold
Warming our lips, winter’s magic
I’m never known it before, don’t let go of me

You quietly embrace me, a happy gentle blanket

Blanket Snow, as the powder snow dances
The distance between us shrinks and turns warm
This world dyed pure white in an instant
You want to walk through it, and I love you like that

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star
Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

Oh No, Oh No – Harada Hitomi

Theme song for anime VALKYRIE DRIVE -MERMAID.

from “VALKYRIE DRIVE -MERMAID-” Opening Theme “Overdrive” single.

——

Just a single message
Wait, did you think you can settle it just like that?
You haven’t given me enough reason, right?

Ah, don’t break promises so easily
I’ve been protecting it desperately
And it makes me look like an idiot, hey

In my favourite shoes
Running with all my might
Firing the electric wave gun

Seriously
Oh No, Oh No
This is impossible
Oh No, Oh No
Can’t forgive this

Stop messing around
And show me the truth
Oh No, Oh No

First gentle, but sharp
A blow to the temple with words
That’s not enough to defeat, right?

Ah, just flourishing for showing off’s sake, bye bye
Did you think I would really forgive you like that? Hey, hey

You can trick me
With cheap perfume, but
Don’t get me involved

I say
Oh No, Oh No
The best of the worst
Oh No, Oh No
Don’t let me say it again

Enough with the jokes
Show me your true voice
Oh No, Oh No

If I have flaws
Then let me know, but
This and that are different things

In my favourite shoes
Running with all my might
Just fire the electric wave gun

Seriously
Oh No, Oh No
This is impossible
Oh No, Oh No
Can’t forgive this

Stop messing around
And show me the truth
Oh No, Oh No

Oh No, Oh No

Overdrive – Hitomi Harada

Opening theme for anime VALKYRIE DRIVE -MERMAID.

from “VALKYRIE DRIVE -MERMAID-” Opening Theme “Overdrive” single.

——

Under weak skin, blood of steel flows
Unknown to anyone, it seeks warmth

Coincidence or destiny? It doesn’t matter
I want to be touched by you again

Overdrive

“Believe or not” There’s no time to puzzle over that
Aside from progressing forward, there’s no other road

Leftover pain in my heart, awkward pride
I’ll embrace it all and run

Overdrive
Even if I’m mistaken, my heart won’t be crushed
Dive or Die
Destroy the wall blocking the view
Overdrive

Under weak skin, blood of steel flows
My real self screams without a voice

With an impatient, hot, precious
Heartbeat, I run

Overdrive
As long as there’s something to protect, I won’t lose
Dive or Die
There’s nothing to be afraid of, right? Run
Overdrive

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes
An unknown ability moves my whole body
Crossing the limit to the next limit ahead

Overdrive
Even if I’m mistaken, my heart won’t be crushed
Dive or Die
Destroy everything in my way
Overdrive

Hana – MISIA

花 (Hana) – Flower

from Orphans no namida single.

——

That seed you dropped
May not start to sprout yet, but
At the best time, at the best place
A day when it blooms will come

Those emotions you spilled
May not be delivered yet, but
At the best time, to the best person
A day will come when it’ll reach out

That road you’re walking on
You may doubt it sometimes, but
At the best time, to the best path
It’ll lead there

That heart you’re embracing
May be left all alone sometimes, but
At the best time, with the best person
You’ll meet them

Those tears you shed
Are wetting your heart now, but
At the best time, with the best face
A day will come when you’ll smile again

That seed you dropped
May not start to sprout yet, but
At the best time, at the best place
Will become a beautiful flower

Orphans no namida – MISIA

オルフェンズの涙 (Orufenzu no namida) – Orphans’ tears

Ending theme for anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

from Orphans no namida single.

——

Orphan’s tears, love takes on the burden of sorrow
To become stronger
You’re on my mind, can you hear it?
The universe singing the blues

Ah… Floating in the dark night
The blue light hides loneliness

The only thing left after war is sorrow
Just what do the warriors see in the shards of dreams?

Orphans, to the universe
Let us set sail on the ship known as hope now
You’re on my mind, in this moment
The universe sings the blues
Orphans, friends, as you wave at me
Did you know the meaning of war?
Love on my mind, in this era
The blues singing of sadness

Peace in preciousness, happiness in the past
Just what is left after the dreams of warriors?

Orphans’ tears, when humans know sorrow
They will learn kindness
Peace of mind, can you hear it?
The universe singing, singing of sadness
The blues for you

Orphans, to the universe
Let us set sail on the ship known as hope now
You’re on my mind, in this moment
The universe sings the blues
Orphans, friends, in your hand
Is a future for you to create
Love on my mind, in this era
The blues singing of sadness

Ego ideal – Mizuki Nana

エゴアイディール (Ego aidiiru) – Ego ideal

from SMASHING ANTHEMS album.

——

Unable to speak what I want to say
So I scribbled it down, tore and threw it away
When can I let go of this notebook full of pain?

Pretending not to hear anything
Where do I go with this lavish smile?
With high power headphones
Hey, will my voice take shape?

Resonate, like the everflowing shooting stars
Steadfastedly irregular, my universe is uncool, but
I can deliver a melody that doesn’t exist anywhere else
It’s alright if others laugh, I want to sing with all my might

Having delusions of ideals
Questioning myself
Collapsing, bound hand and foot
Before I knew it, another pose

The heat of the gazes upon me
Is perplexing, as I’m unable to check them
These choices accumulating everyday
I want to thoroughly clean them up

Scream, until the lost, lonely figure is blown out
Still so awkward, my show-off heart’s voice, but
I’m prepared for extravagant dreams
So I’ll look forward and believe in this step

To soar high and far
Imprisoned by that idea
I put off the important things
And thought too much
I want to be even more free

Resonate, like the everflowing shooting stars
Steadfastedly irregular, my universe is uncool, but
I can deliver a melody that doesn’t exist anywhere else
It’s alright if others laugh, I want to sing with all my might

BRACELET – Mizuki Nana

from SMASHING ANTHEMS album.

——

As naturally as taking a breath
You Lock yourself up again
Closing the door I had opened
You say it’s for my sake, but
What do you know about me?
There are words which don’t reach to forever

In exchange for a love that’s seemingly calm
Hey, what have we lost sight of?

The glass slippers I’ve dreamt about
Have developed cracked on the toes over time
Next to the unchanging you
I start to search for an unfamiliar tomorrow

Unable to wait any longer, I make to step out
With memories twined around my hand
Connecting into a glittering BRACELET

The warmth of touching skin
And other signs that prove I’m not alone
There are nights when I’m afraid to let them go

Nobody knows the answer
And we grow impatient with unending silence

The constructed sandcastle
Is swamped by willful waves, disappearing in an instant
No matter how much we believe
There is surely nothing that can never be destroyed

The young self I was when we first met
Does not exist anywhere outside your memories
Hurry and turn that listless face towards me
Notice me… before this BRACELET falls off

The glass slippers I’ve dreamt about
Have developed cracked on the toes over time
Next to the unchanging you
I start to search for an unfamiliar tomorrow

It’s not habit, I just want to dream
As I yearn for “freedom” once again
I want to shake free, tears fall
I’m the one who can’t let go

Unable to wait any longer, I make to step out
With memories twined around my hand
Connecting into a glittering BRACELET
