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

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
