Time Machine – U-ya Asaoka

from Sora no hate album.

——

It’s my Lucky Day, told in a fortune
That I’ll receive a phone call sometime today
Saying “What are you doing now?”

Where are you flying to, with those free wings?
Is my bed not to your liking?

What is grasped in those overlapped fingertips?
Now, the warmth of our embrace seeps into my heart
Upon your hesitant shoulder, flowers spiral and bloom
A broken Time Machine, capable of traveling only to the future

The 2000s, can’t resolve the chaos
So entangled, it doesn’t matter even if you push the self-destruct button

Can’t buy a heart with money, both denial and affirmation
Doesn’t matter, just wanna make you mine

Above my sluggish body, you smile boldly
Somehow, I planned to embrace you, but I’m being embraced instead
Your translucent eyes take over me, and
I don’t need the past, a Time Machine of despair

As I stand idle, the enemy is picking up their weapon
I can’t win, so I’ll just fall

What is grasped in those overlapped fingertips?
Now, the warmth of our embrace seeps into my heart
Upon your hesitant shoulder, flowers spiral and wilt
A broken Time Machine, capable of traveling only to the future

Sayonarara – U-ya Asaoka

サヨナララ (Sayonarara) – Goodbye lala

from Sora no hate album.

——

The spoken words “We’re friends, right?”
Is a synonym for the fact that we can’t progress any further

It’s hard, because there’s no malice
But I have no interest in anyone but you, I can’t help it

A sweet Melody, Memories that won’t overlap
Just the passing of a romance that won’t begin

Always, always, always, all the time
I’m embracing you In My Dream
Is it alright for me to wait for hope?

Quietly, quietly, quietly, sadly
I threw regret away
Now, being alone suits me, so goodbye lala

Today’s brilliant sunset
Did you watch it too? I texted you, acting nonchalant

Unable to say that I want to see you
When I realized it, I don’t know why I fell for you

Since we met, I’ve changed little by little
Is my heart wishing for love?

Always, always, always, all the time
I’m embracing you In My Dream
I know this will never come true

Then, then, then, tomorrow too
I’ll continue to think of you
Now, I’ll watch over you silently, goodbye lala

Nanairo – U-ya Asaoka

七色 (Nanairo) – Rainbow

from Doubt/Nanairo single + Mirai no tsukuri kata album.

——

It seems so festive, the city’s already in Friday
The quick passing of time somehow made me impatient

To always have the same everyday
It was a youthful sin to have believed in that

Enjoyable days become mere memories
My pride. Even now, they support me

There was no need to say goodbye
That miraculous time will not come back

Even as the rainbow-colored wind raged at us
We faced it, for the rose-tinted future
Behind this beautiful world, there are hidden shadows
Now, I know that, but it isn’t such a bad thing

Reality is different from the dreams I used to have, but
I now have someone to protect, and my dreams have changed

Happiness is fragile, easily broken
So it will be tested by time, to everyone

The rainbow-colored wind rages on, even now
Even if we stop walking, we won’t give in
I’ll trust that someday, the winds will turn favorable
Because nothing will change if I just wait

Even as the rainbow-colored wind raged at us
We faced it, for the rose-tinted future
Behind this beautiful world, there are hidden shadows
Now, I know that, but it isn’t such a bad thing

Paradox – U-ya Asaoka

from Kimi ga sekai wo kaete yuku album.

——

Tirelessly being told is someone else’s success story
Isn’t it better to be waiting for a godsend? Do as you like

Imitations are bound to fail, today is tiring too, huh?
Can’t see my dreams, this era is far, far from true perfection

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I?

Even this country is full of lies, no one knows the truth
Dignity without preparation, just what meaning does that hold?

Somehow, we’re already approaching the end
Intoxicated, I pretend, swinging between joy and sorrow, forcing reason

With no wings, I can’t fly, can’t save anyone
Not cool, there’s no God, therefore, I create My Life
Because I like you?

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I? It’s Paradox, live on

Show must go on – U-ya Asaoka

from Show must go on album.

——

Welcome! You’re here. Thank you for Coming!
Let me blend your heart together with mine tonight!

Are you living a life with no fear of failure?
Do you want to be affirmed, for a little sense of relief?

The world is full of lies, I’ve come to hate it
Contrasting ideas just run parallel

Let’s forget that, and love each other right now
With a touch of preaching, this is just a song www

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, we need to do what we wanna do
Because time won’t stop
Let’s just burst out
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!

A well-designed replica may put on airs, but
Who are they acting for? They can’t fool me

The best valuation is my innocent self
Let’s shout out about the present!!!

I want to smile with you until the end
Because I want to deliver my love
A steady advance, let’s live

So let the ground ring and shout
I’ll smash your shell
If you wait, it’ll be over, you know?
Certainly, the Show must go on!

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, let’s do what we wanna do
Because time won’t turn back
Let’s just be foolish
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!

missing piece – U-ya Asaoka

from Uta no chikara album.

——

If my dreams can be seen, will anything change?
Getting tired and sleeping, in these soliloquizing days

Let’s say if I were to disappear now
Will the world still move on as usual?

But I am alive
So full of anxiety, it’s shocking, but
I just want to shine…

Everyone has a small jewel
That won’t shine unless polished, that is long-known truth
It’s not a failure to move backwards sometimes
I’ll collect them one by one, my pieces

Everything is given, and I’ve grown used to it
I am the one who is most against my own weakness

“You’re just reliant”, with your kindness
The screams at the bottom of my heart are finally heard

Yes, you are alive too
Embracing overflowing hope
And continuing to believe…

A broken jewel scatters within me
Letting out a faint light like a guiding light
I’m lost, but I’ll search for a way now
Changing person by person, pieces of dreams

Hearts are warped, being perfect is impossible…

Everyone has a small jewel
That won’t shine unless polished, that is long-known truth

A broken jewel scatters within me
Letting out a faint light like a guiding light
I’m lost, but I’ll search for a way now
Watching person by person, pieces of dreams

Hikari – U-ya Asaoka

ヒカリ (Hikari) – Light

from Uta utai sono ichi album + Uta no chikara-tachi+4 ~u-ya asaoka Best Album~.

——

Wings broken, we stand paralyzed
In the present, embracing our wounds
But just believe in wishes, and in the future
Light exists, surely…

When did we stop dreaming, and nights are spent in sleep?
“We won’t reach the starry sky”, as if giving up in the face of cold reality

Not even checking if there’s a trap behind the door, we ran away
When we hadn’t even lost anything

Hey, do you have the habit of looking at things in a slanted way?
Loneliness and weakness may seem similar, but they are different

Wings broken, we stand paralyzed
Even in the present, we embrace our wounds
But just believe in wishes, and in the future
Light exists, surely…

As predetermined time flows, we felt a light despair
The meaning of our existence wavered a little

Not wanting to ride of others’ wind
We decided to clear our own new path
Someday, I will smile

Even if we spread our wings with lost power
We may not fly into the sky
In the darkness where we can’t see the exit
The light won’t wait

Wings broken, we stand paralyzed
Even in the present, we embrace our wounds
But just believe in wishes, and in the future
Light exists, surely…

In order to fly even on broken wings
We’ll continue to hold on to strong hope
It is surely hidden behind shadow
Light exists, surely…

Foget-Me-Not – U-ya Asaoka

from Mirai no tsukurikata album.

——

Even when polluted water flows into the sea
The countries somehow just give up hope

Pretending not to see
Is that the true secret to life?
We need to do something
But who is our enemy?

Foget-Me-Not, life has a limit
Our D-N-A is engraved with a mission
Foget-Me-Not, the idea of justice depends on each person
What do you think? Of this irrational World…

We were born to find happiness
So why is society standing in my way?

Do those Heroes who defeat evil only exist on TV?
We need to raise our voices
Hasn’t the enemy grown gigantic!?

Foget-Me-Not, the demon lurking in our hearts
Is destiny-changing D-N-A
Foget-Me-Not, answers are not always right
It’s a boundary of black and white

Foget-Me-Not, life has a limit
Our D-N-A is engraved with a mission
Foget-Me-Not, the idea of justice depends on each person
What do you think? Of this irrational Days

Foget-Me-Not, the demon lurking in our hearts
Is destiny-changing D-N-A
Foget-Me-Not, answers are not always right
It’s a boundary of black and white
