Sakura saku kono basho de – FIELD OF VIEW

桜咲くこの場所で (Sakura saku kono basho de) – At this place where cherry blossoms bloom

from Kono machi de kimi to kurashitai single.

——

The photo of you stuck on the wall by the window
With that innocent undecorated smile
Before we knew it, we had started to chase after different dreams

I used to really love this place where cherry blossoms bloom, but it makes my chest hurt now
I was late, too late
To accept your all
But the time we spent together was not a lie

Gripping each other’s cold hands, unable to fill
The gaps between the words as we talked about our tomorrows
I quietly embraced your lonesome shoulders

Crossing the pedestrian bridge, I thought you would be there under the too dazzling sky
Can’t go back, can’t go back
The wind blew, as if seeing through my wavering heart
Scattering the flowers

You have always been too straightforward
I want you to progress as you are
I believe

I first met you at this place where cherry blossoms bloom, can’t forget even now
These brilliant memories with you will surely never disappear, but
I’ll walk on without averting my eyes

Akikaze no monochrome – FIELD OF VIEW

秋風のモノクローム (Akikaze no monokuroomu) – Autumn wind’s monochrome

from Akikaze no monochrome single + the FIELD OF VIEW BEST 2001 Limited Edition of Asia album.

——

It was twilight like this too, the last time we met
Have you gotten used to your new life?

You were the one who said goodbye
And I know now that you were the more mature one

Wanting our heartbeats to overlap, but
Why did I let you go in pursuit of my dreams?

Autumn wind’s monochrome
You won’t turn back anymore
As dazzling memories run through my mind

Like suffering an injury without the realization
I only felt the pain later
No matter who I spent time with

Turning my back upon your loneliness
The busy days just flowed past

These days without love are freedom
But still
I stop in my tracks when I hear a voice like yours

Nights when I made you cry
When we exchanged glares of condemnation
Why do I think of them so warmly now?

If we can only realize
What’s truly important after it is over
I want to return to that day we first met

Autumn wind’s monochrome
I’ll walk on again too
Passing the dazzling memories by

The sky we looked up at while seated
Upon the guard rail
The sunset dyes this city without you

Yumemi tsuzukete ima mo – FIELD OF VIEW

夢見続けて今も (Yumemi tsuzukete ima mo) – Still dreaming even now

from Last Good-bye single + FIELD OF VIEW II album.

——

The same smiles as that time, on the night we finally gathered
Old stories that never run out, time really flies
Even in unfamiliar suits, we’re still the same inside
The happiness we search for are different, but

Still dreaming even now, because we’ve decided on a path
Even when things don’t go well
I don’t want to lose to myself
Where will that as-yet-unseen exit be?
Want to see you again
To become even more wonderful than now

“Ideals and reality are different”, you said sadly
That hot flaming era is not just for remembrance
If you don’t try it, then there’s no meaning in life
Everyone is training to cross that wall

Still dreaming even now, so that you don’t lose your heart
I know the true you
So it’ll be a little tough
If everything can succeed without extinguishing the light of hope
Look, you’ve progressed more than yesterday
I believe in you

Still dreaming even now, because we’ve decided on a path
Even when things don’t go well
I don’t want to lose to myself
Let’s go at leisure, don’t be impatient for answers
Towards our shining future without turning back
Look at the dreams you want to achieve

Sepia – FIELD OF VIEW

セピア (Sepia) – Sepia

from Kimi ga ita kara single + FIELD OF VIEW I album.

——

The Raindrops fall on the city we walked in
What I recall are the days I spent with you
I took Happiness for granted, you were right beside me, but
You are surely in his arms right now

Can’t forget even as time passes
Just let these memories disappear

Sepia, these wavering memories scorch my heart
If only I was hurt enough never to love again…

“Want to see you, speak to you one last time”
The courage to call, my voice trembled
Your short hair has grown past your shoulders
But you’re not the you from that time

Sepia-colored memories increase again
But I tell my heart that this is the end of love

Can’t forget even as time passes
Just let these memories disappear

Sepia-colored memories scorch my heart
Your eyes no longer reflect me, but feelings for him…
The sky is the same as when we parted, just like deja-vu
With this, love is finally over
The final words… Goodbye…

Kodoku na Traveler – FIELD OF VIEW

孤独なTraveler (Kodoku na Traveler) – Lonely Traveler

from Kawaita sakebi single.

——

The flowing clouds and the stars in the nightsky
Only days of youth would allow us to think them within reach
I laughed, covered in mud, each day so short

Getting familiar with my fellow comrades and society
Saying “there’s no choice but to give in” with a serious expression
This is so different from the self I wanted to become

Always speaking excuses, everyone is a lonely Traveler
I can’t go on like this
Even with the strength to fight, as life passes by…
The train I’ve jumped on with a look of defeat will surely not move

There are nights when I cried, unknown to anyone
It’ll be great if I could feel nostalgia for those times someday, but
I learnt when I got hurt, that you bring trouble

The world continues to spin, everyone is a lonely Traveler
Even if this heart keeps falling
I’ll spread open a new map and search for a place of peace
Every day is a one-way ticket, can’t go back

I want to meet someone to share my feelings with, but
There are nights of pain when I’m left alone

Without a destination, everyone is a lonely Traveler

Against this futile limited time
I take up the challenge once again

Real prayer – FIELD OF VIEW

from complete of FIELD OF VIEW at the BEING studio album.

——

I had fallen asleep before I knew it, and you left a blanket across my shoulders…
Together with a short memo reading “Aren’t you working too hard?”

The fact that I’m protected by your kindness
Is hidden in these everyday events

Because someone is always shedding tears for someone else
We can overcome any sort of sorrow
Are you releasing your heart for your own sake now?
As long as you can draw the wings of dreams, the journey will continue

At the brilliant intersection, I realized that loneliness has disappeared
Nothing has changed, but I just want to progress to the future

Just how much of what I want has to be thrown away
So that I can meet with the important things?

Whenever someone speaks of love for someone else
Even the pain sunk into deep darkness will melt
Don’t forget that smile that you can smiling for yourself now
Love’s prayer will surely reach out someday

Because someone is always shedding tears for someone else
We can overcome any sort of sorrow

Are you releasing your heart for your own sake?
As long as you can draw the wings of dreams, the journey will continue

Someone for someone else… What can I do?
For myself, for someone, then for you

Kimi wo miteita boku to boku wo miteita kimi to – FIELD OF VIEW

君を見ていた僕と 僕を見ていた君と (Kimi wo miteita boku to boku wo miteita kimi to) – With me watching you, and you watching me

from complete of FIELD OF VIEW at the BEING studio album.

——

What we see as we leave the city
Is the ferris wheel, floating in the dark again today
Just like our relationship, maybe?
Just revolving at that place…
It’s not in your character to lie
That you had felt this ending

“Love” can’t be seen with our eyes
Even when swept over by the midwinter wind
We “can’t return” to that moment
When we tested the strength of our feelings
With me watching you, and you watching me

The kisses shared in the gaps between words
Are like the ferris wheel looking down upon the city
You blushed, saying that “someone might see us”
We were so innocent then
Why are you so reckless?
As if refusing to stop

The fact that we had “loved” can no longer be seen
As the midwinter wind sweep past
The question marks that can’t be swallowed
Change our scenery
We had loved all this while, as if seeing an illusion…

“Love” can’t be seen with our eyes
Even when swept over by the midwinter wind
In that moment of “wanting to turn back”
We tested the strength of our feelings
With me watching you, and you watching me

Fly to Xxxx – FIELD OF VIEW

from LOVELY JUBBLY album.

——

Looking down from the building at the crowd of pedestrians on the streets
Doesn’t the issue that’s worrying me now seem sort of insignificant?

I won’t live like someone else anymore!
Both the angel and devil resides in my heart
As they fight, so, always…

one day, I’ve realized
With “I’m busy”, I’ve been running away from everyone
Are you ready? Let’s dance
Made to dance, completely High………Fly to xxxxx

Failing at what I’ve put so much thought into
Showing my incompetence, but shouldn’t I enjoy myself?

For some things, moderation is just right
If I’m accumulating, storing so much that I’ll burst
Then I’ll go as myself! so, neatly……

good day! Today is a good day
Smiling and thinking that as I fall asleep, isn’t that great?
bad news! That’s all I have, but
The strength to dream, I’m believing now…. Fly to xxxxx

good day! Today is a good day
Smiling and thinking that as I fall asleep, isn’t that great?
bad news! That’s all I have, but
The strength to dream, I’m believing now!

In this wide world
If you can love someone, then surely more is better?
Try to, the words you’ll speak from now
Let them be your own words! Try……… Fly to xxxxx

Ano koro no boku ni – FIELD OF VIEW

あの頃の僕に (Ano koro no boku ni) – To the me then

from SINGLES COLLECTION+4 album.

——

Just outside of the business district, the shop I used to frequent still stands
Where we’ve laughed, cried, and dreamed wholeheartedly

Even such a passionate feeling can be forgotten
I want to open that Door within me once again

Memories are dazzling and turn beautiful, but
If we are always nostalgic, we can’t see tomorrow
After meeting these comrades whom I can discuss anything with
Can I still return to the me then?

The shop at dawn with empty bottles fallen over is overflowing with smiles
With no calculations and letters, we can be honest

Everyone has troubles and is lost in life
We may be awkward, but as long as we can progress as ourselves

Try looking at what you have in a different light
And you may understand what it is you’ve lost
Even unchecked conversations can turn into precious times
I met with the me then…

Memories are dazzling and turn beautiful, but
If we are always nostalgic, we can’t see tomorrow
I’m glad we met today, it’s hard to put into words
How my cloudy heart turned clear…

Try looking at what you have in a different light
Irreplaceable comrades are all around me
Even unchecked conversations can turn into precious times
I met with the me then…

Last Good-bye – FIELD OF VIEW

from Last Good-bye single + FIELD OF VIEW II album.

——

I’ll erase everything that brings you sorrow
I want you to smile just like you did when we first met
As I embraced your slim shoulders, I realized
That you were slowly turning reticent

Living busy lives where we spent time alone
We used to talk about troubles we couldn’t tell anyone else

Stronger than my love, the Last Good-bye
The me that day was just…but I won’t go back, rainy blue
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow
Just remember the Last Good-bye

Every time we become more mature, another lie is born
Would our relationship be good if we had remained friends?
It’s hard to always be in love with just one person
Even now, I grasp tightly onto my youthful dreams

We can lie to others, but we can never deceive ourselves
It feels like everything will disappear once I stop…

Hotter than my gaze, the Last Good-bye
Under the cold starry sky
Somehow, we separate, lonely heart
Is your smile always this dazzling?
Just remember the Last Good-bye

To your eyes, the Last Good-bye
Even your selfishness was wonderful
A sparkling future get go away
Hey, none of us were at fault
Just remember the Last Good-bye
Just remember the Last Good-bye
