souffle secret – Nakagawa Shoko

from Shokotan☆Best――(°∀°)――!! album.

—–

I can’t! But! Wait!
I want to shout to the world!
Now! I love you!

Don’t leave me behind! Wait!
Connected hands in pockets… Look!
Expanding souffle secret

Rainy days, crowds
I’ve always somehow
Been bad at handling them, but

Under your umbrella
The spreading scenery
Is totally different

Our lashes brushing, in that distance
You whisper
Sprinkled powder sugar
A secret spell

I can’t! But! Wait!
I want to shout to the world!
That’s it! You are the only one I see!

Don’t leave me behind! Wait!
Connected hands in pockets… Again!
Expanding souffle secret

You can’t wait? Unable to take hot food
You won’t even know when you’ve burnt yourself!

This feeling
Lasts only in this instant
And I know that, but

Your teasing eyes
If they can embrace me
I’ll forget everything

Hidden behind the umbrella
You whisper
The rain’s music plays
Our secret

I can’t! But! Wait!
More than anyone else! I love you!
You’re a dream!

So bewitching! Your kiss!
How many times has my heart… Look!
Expanding souffle secret

Someday, even when
This fickle rain stops
I hope that the magic
Of powdered sugar won’t fade away…

I can’t! But! Wait!
I want to shout to the world!
Now! I love you!

Don’t leave me behind! Wait!
Connected hands in pockets… Right?
Expanding souffle secret

You can’t wait? Unable to take hot food
You’ve burnt yourself, but I still love you!

Horizon – Nakagawa Shoko

ホリゾント (Horizonto) – Horizon

from Shokotan☆Best――(°∀°)――!! album.

—–

If that’s not the case, then this is enough, but
Sorrow spirals up in the sky and forms the beginning

Scratches the color of roses
And this grief which pierces my heart, hey, what do you call this?

The north-northwest wind is screaming.

As long as you are here, everything should be enough, but why?
Why is it that when only you are absent, everything seems lacking?
I cried openly. Even if the world ends
I won’t lose anything
Our wildness will not end

Each moment chasing after another
The present is already the past, just like a trompe l’oeil

If that’s so, then hey, all of us
Were made, born, lived to today from things which had passed

Just whose way of life are we living?

No matter where you are, your heart will be filled, just like this
Feeling every breath you take
The blue sky that baby birds fly up into, shedding all limits
In that moment, despair
Loses out to our hope

I wake from the dreams of desertion.

As long as you are here, everything should be enough, but why?
Why is it that when only you are absent, everything seems lacking?
I will embrace recklessness. Even if the world ends
I won’t lose anything
Our wildness will not end

apple universe – Nakagawa Shoko

from Shokotan☆Best――(°∀°)――!! album.

On days when the wind blew strong, strong
We held hands really tight, tight
I was just too timid
But you easily uncovered me

Hey, it’s as if
We were guided by forces of attraction
And the laws of fate
Made us fall in love
Magical!

The blue sky and white clouds
Everything is like brand new
A new me, different from yesterday
Seems to be starting out
These days I’m spending with you speed up and sparkle

On days when the wind blew strong, strong
I pedalled on hard, hard
On my bike, to go meet you
Slipping out in the middle of the night

Your lips, frequently smiling
I’m fascinated by that
When we realized, we had bit into
The fruit of adventure
Magical!

Holding hands, let’s discover a new world again
You have given me so so much
And though the only thing
I can give you is just my feelings
I’ll give it all, give it all
Give it to you

Holding hands, let’s discover a new world again
A new us, different from yesterday
Seems to be starting out
The blue sky and white clouds
In this world which is brand new
These days I’m spending with you speed up and sparkle

ホロスコープ (Horosukoopu) – Horoscope

from horoscope single and Shokotan☆Best――(°∀°)――!! album.

A star floating in darkness
I will never ever forget about you

Within my ever-repeating memories
You are always smiling
Allowing me to smile just a little too

Days when nothing much happens
We cannot return to those days of ours

Forever
In that frozen night sky
Our constellation shines
Even if we can’t see it through our tears

Just one piece
One piece which I cannot find
Even now, I am
Searching for it

Within the ever-repeating seasons
You finally drift far away
And I have gotten used to that

Days when nothing much happens
Our wishes won’t come true

Forever
In that frozen night sky
Our constellation shines
Even if we can’t reach it again

Just one piece
One piece which I cannot find
Even now, I am
Searching for it

With you, the two of us sketched out
A story in the night sky, just about us
It will continue to shine within me
Always, always, always, neverendingly

At the end of my skyward gaze

Forever
In that frozen night sky
Our constellation shines
I’ve reached out for it countless times

Just one piece
One piece which I cannot find
Even now, I am
Searching for it

Always searching for it

Bokura no Mirai – Nakagawa Shoko

Bokura no mirai (僕らの未来) – Our Future

from horoscope single.

—–

Nothing in this world is certain
We easily forget that as we live through ordinary days

Even as I can’t sleep, even as I cry
The morning still comes, no matter what
At the start of today

I stumbled
Even if this is the end of yesterday
I will stand up again
And this will become the start of tomorrow someday

Even so, I
Even so, laughed again
As the tears struggle to flow
We create our future

This is the road I have chosen
By my own hand, but why do I feel regret?

If I can meet you once more
The words I wish to say
Will fill up my eyes and cloud my vision

Your heart of darkness
Even if I can’t reach it now
Someday, in the light
I wish that you will hear it too

Even so, I
Even so, laughed again
As our trembling hands hold on
We sing of our future

With a “See you soon”, a promise was made
In the future that is tomorrow
I think I’ll be waiting for your smile
Just for that
I start to walk

Even so, I
Even so, laughed again
As our trembling hands hold on
We sing of our future

Even so, I
Even so, laughed again
As the tears struggle to flow
We create our future
