Crescent Moon

I wanted to become the moon
All alone in the wide night sky
Shining with a light brighter than the stars
I didn’t even want to speak, everyone looking up at me

That day I felt my fate is already distant
It’s all become diluted, loving thoughts
The myself that’s falling, the tool to paint a deep-blue picture
I did it sloppily

The too-bright moonlight, understanding my eyes
You walked with me without holding hands
I close my eyes and the number was counted

I want to be the moon
No longer holding fragments of sorrow
I want you to be happy
Look up overhead, right there
The same as the stars, I’ll stand

Beneath the moonlight, I see my shadow
You laughed with me without holding hands
I close my eyes and the number was counted

I want to be the moon
No longer holding fragments of sorrow
I want you to be happy
Whether I’m running or standing still
You’ll definitely be there

Mobile World

All the time, walking while carrying the world
In their hands are hundreds of people, friendship weighing a mere 100 grams
Having connected, we have been connected
A refuge in lonely times; this small world

The never-resting postman, the elusive cameraman
Vibrating in their hands, love weighing a mere 100 grams
If that person’s there, I’m always happy, there’s nothing scary in this small world

The world is light, weakly light
Flying, carried on the sound waves
The world is narrow, widely narrow
What is being sent over the waves?

All the time, anyone’s phone starts to cry out
Within that smiling emoticon, there’s 100 grams of my heart
Like a room with the light turned out, the heart’s antenna is unclear
If that person rings, I’m happy, a brilliant light in this small world

The world is light, weakly light
What are the waves carrying?
The world is narrow, widely narrow
Hello, what are you doing, where?

The small world is light, weakly light
Living if there are waves
The small world is narrow, widely narrow
Living if there are waves

Midnight Theme Park

Removing my contacts in an oxidized reality
Even today, the scenery I’m used to becomes a bit uneasy
Crawling out of my warm futon, I opened the door
Neon shines on a rainbow-colored merry-go-round

Removing my contacts in an oxidized reality
Even today, the scenery I’m used to becomes a bit uneasy
Crawling out of my warm futon, I opened the door
Neon shines on a rainbow-colored merry-go-round

The roller coaster continued to run
The headlights distort the rails ahead
Ascending and descending, my heart throbs
The roller coaster can’t stop
Before the headlights lurks a curve
We’ll be thrown off, we’ll be thrown off

Even if you link the points in the seat of Orion
There aren’t enough stars, planetarium
I want to ride around on a beautiful horse
I want to ride around on a beautiful horse

The roller coaster continued to run
The headlights pierce through the darkness
Ascending and descending, my heart throbs
So these days definitely can’t be stopped
I’m still clinging to my seatbelt
We’ll be thrown off, we’ll be thrown off

Where are you going to?
What is it you believe in?
Spreading both hands happily is called giving an embrace

Where are you going to?
What is it you believe in?
Spreading both hands happily is called giving an embrace

Led By Your Clapping Hands

It’s not unclear, the reality was transparent
It’s not gain, the outcome was a kiss
I’ll seal away these doubled up feelings
I crushed them so they could not be opened

Not wanting to see you isn’t a betrayal
Wanting to see you isn’t an act
Ah, it’s a fairy tale, soon I’ll wake from this dream story

There’s no landmarks for falling in love
I can’t see a way back anymore
Closing my eyes to falling into bad faith
A thought of being led by your clapping hands

These insufficient feelings hadn’t matured enough in reality
It wasn’t words, but a kiss I wanted to convey
I’ll seal away these doubled up feelings
I crushed them so they could not be opened

It’s not that I’m clinging
I just don’t like lonely nights alone
Ah, this is a fairy tale, a dream story I’ve made too much of

You can’t arrive at falling in love with your feet
But by no means should you not lose sight of it
I’ll try to row, it’s not so frightening
In this flowing, flowing whirlpool

There’s no landmarks for falling in love
I can’t see a way back anymore
Closing my eyes to falling into bad faith
A thought of being led by your clapping hands

Make Up! Make Up!

I saw things I shouldn’t have seen again
Steadily, I became stronger

I said things I shouldn’t have said again
Steadily, I became uglier

Therefore
Make up! Every day make up! Every time
I colored my cheeks with blush
Mirror, oh mirror, who am I?

However
Make up! Everybody make up! Every time
I shaped my eyebrows in an arch
Who is the woman in the mirror?

I told lies I shouldn’t have told again
Steadily, I became more afraid
I did things I shouldn’t have done again
Steadily, I became foolish

Therefore
Make up! Everybody make up! Every time
Drawing a loveline
Mirror, oh mirror, who am I?

However
Make up! Everybody make up! Every time
This year I pierced my ears
Who is the woman in the mirror?

Make up! Everyday make up! Over and over
I curled my eyelashes
Who is this sad-eyed girl?

Even today
Make up! Everyday make up! Over and over
Drawing on red rouge
To kiss the one I love

Wisdom Teeth

My wisdom teeth came out. I didn’t go to the dentist because it’s scary
My wisdom teeth came out, before anyone realized

Opening my mouth really wide, I loved to look up
With my head in your lap as I finished brushing

The gentle colors in photos of my family never fade
In this room I live in alone, I’m smiling
My younger sister, embracing my mother, and my overearnest father
It’s as if it were only yesterday, as if it were only yesterday

Just like that, time passed, someday becomes gentle
Tomorrow, with tomorrow, I’ll patiently say my “thank you” after so long

When I come back for a meal once in a while, although we’re not children anymore
Yes, but even so I’m glad I am your child

The peaceful colors in photos of my family even now have not faded
In our wide-spread household, we still smiled

Because both of your eyes in this photo are so strong
I have come to understand the reason that I am here
My happiness is your happiness
My sadness is your sadness

It’s okay! The peaceful colors in this photo won’t fade after this
In this room I live in alone, light is let loose
I too will someday find a person I love like that
Someone with whom I can share the reason for my happiness

My wisdom teeth came out. I didn’t go to the dentist because it’s scary
My wisdom teeth came out, before anyone realized

Kindness

When the sun set
It hid behind the buildings and I couldn’t see it

You’re with me
There’s nowhere you can hide

If it rains tomorrow, if it rains the day after tomorrow
Illuminate me

There’s nowhere that surprises me

If I’m no good tomorrow, if I’m no good the day after tomorrow
Forgive me

A Fish Out of Water

Regarding scenery that isn’t beautiful
Here I’m swaying peacefully

Regarding tears with no meaning
Alone, words aren’t enough and they fall

Ah, I found out the light of the world
Well, if I say it, these boring memories will go byebye

A dream rides on a sunken ship, going on a journey
You are just a romanticist
Comfort has no demands, but
I won’t admit to what I don’t have

Regarding unquiet evenings
Always, somewhere it is growing dark

Not singing praises of anybody
Here, as I remember, as I broadcast

Ah, I found out the surface of the world
Come now, if I say it a narrow freedom may come

A dream rides on a sunken ship, and I came to meet it
You are always a romanticist
Demanding nothing without stopping
Don’t pick up the answers I dropped

I am a fish out of water
It feels good, I’ve already given up
These demands for nothing don’t end
I’ll give you the scale I dropped

Alone

Since I closed it in that place on that day
I can’t open my guitar case’s zipper
Even though it’s my same hand opening it
Even if I wear the same clothes as that day
Even if I sleep at the same time as that day
Even though I think my heart is the same
It seems the last word of the story is different

However many times I strum that dusk-colored guitar
I couldn’t erase those unfading memories
On sleepless nights I prowl around alone
My story alone
Alone

My body sways around
I collided with your arms
Even though the space was gone
We couldn’t even read the map

When I say a single word
You expressed a smile
I don’t understand reality
I’m a worried person
I can’t return to the first word of the story

If I give you a touch on the cheek
I wonder if everything will launch into this night sky
With all my power, I clutch your arm until it hurts
Until I realized I was doing it
So please

However many times I strum that dusk-colored guitar
I couldn’t erase those unfading memories
On sleepless nights I prowl around alone
My story alone

Alone

Message

From some time ago, I’ve been absentminded
What did that glance from before mean?
Those kinds of stars are beautiful
But I couldn’t say it to you
You failed to notice I was pretending
These days I’ve gotten better at it
Indirectly I did it over and over
And I shrunk

I couldn’t say “Stay here” when the person I like is here
Therefore I couldn’t say “I love you” when the person I love was here
More than an amazing coldness
More than a speech warmed on the stove
I just want to reach you, I just want to reach you

These hexagonal crystals are melting in my hand
Within the snow, whiter than my breath
I waited for your return
Something like “It’s fine if you’re not here”
I thought that was the truth
My true wish was splended
And still hasn’t come true

I couldn’t say “Stay here” when the person I like is here
Therefore I couldn’t say “I love you” when the person I love was here
More than an amazing coldness
More than a speech warmed on the stove
I just want to reach you, I just want to reach you

Something like “It’s fine if you’re not here”
If my true wish came true
I’d just have to say “Goodbye”
And fly to a country no one knows.
