ANGEL'S SONG

(verse 1)

escaping into nights, I told myself silently

that I was not at all alone

but after all, all it revealed

was nothing but my loneliness day by day

on my way home from the bustling of the city

though it was no different from any other day

I thought I would repeat such a pattern of life

and tears welled up suddenly

feeling weak and wretched

uneasy and lonely

I wanted some warmth

it came in the form of a faint voice

(chorus)

but it is certain that you appeared so suddenly

and a ray of light shone in my darkness

you smiled just a little, told me it was alright with a nod

you took my hand and started to walk me into light

I swear that day, I saw an angel's wing on your back

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

it was not that I wished to dull the pain

I wished to be a little bit strong

I was helped and supported by you

we gave and forgave each other

I got what I wanted to protect

on that day that I met you

(chorus)

sometimes you are too unprotected

and come face to face with me with all your might

it's so much dazzling

that I even spare the time of a single blink

so I won't miss looking at the beauty that is you

you have an angel's wing on your back, I swear

(end chorus)

(chorus)

but it is certain that you appeared so suddenly

and a ray of light shone in my darkness

you smiled just a little, told me it was alright with a nod

you took my hand and started to walk me into light

(end chorus)

(chorus)

sometimes you are too unprotected

and come face to face with me with all your might

it's so much dazzling

that I even spare the time of a single blink

so I won't miss looking at the beauty that is you

you have an angel's wing on your back, I swear

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

I heartily hope that you will not be

a victim of this sad, depressing age

I sing this song to you just as I pray

so that my dearest wish may reach you

Greatful Days

(verse 1)

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

ooh yeah

yeah, yeah, yeah

the season I was looking forward to has come at last

the wind is stirring, the city is taking life

the morning comes earlier than usual

I feel I can walk well only for that

there are plenty of terrible news around nowadays

but please do not

leave pleasure behind because of sadness

just smile really big right now, right now

(chorus)

the short summer is starting now

how many memories can I make with you?

it doesn't matter where we go

as long as we go together

the sun in the sky is shining bright

and the waves are always rolling on the shore

whatever we do, let's do it right

and enjoy this time well

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

the distorted, sharp sky among the buildings

the sky I saw once was wide and limitless

I thank you for being by my side and giving me

a gentle smile even when my heart

is covered with clouds

it is not a matter of course

but might be of necessity

I never forget this feeling

that I certainly have what I should protect

(chorus)

this short summer will sadly come to an end

I will be with you at the moment too

as I currently know

nothing is so nice as the ordinary days

we have come to cherish so much

(end chorus)

(bridge)

la la la ooh la la la la

la la la la la

la la la la la la la

(chorus)

the short summer is starting now

how many memories can I make with you?

it doesn't matter where we go

as long as we go together

the sun in the sky is shining bright

and the waves are always rolling on the shore

whatever we do, let's do it right

and enjoy this time well

(end chorus)

(ending)

la la la la la la la la la la la la

Because Of You
(chorus)
my eyes met your eyes again
we talked a little
my heart throbbed and I hid
my feelings behind a smile
as I was afraid I might not be able
to go back to the times
when I had not known you
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
the wind has already gotten cold
laughing voices fill the air with white breath
it may be because of the winter
that I feel like crying for nothing

I remember that night when we first met even now

(chorus)
my eyes met your eyes again
we talked a little
my heart throbbed and I hid
my feelings behind a smile
as I was afraid I might not be able
to go back to the times
when I had not known you
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
we have come to know each other
little by little
but suddenly I find I know nothing about you
please tell me what you feel
by the time I understand it
you can even shout

(chorus)
my love grew when we couldn't meet
my heart ached because my voice didn't reach you
I found I couldn't go back to the times
when I had not known you
(end chorus)

(bridge)
please don't smile with such sorrowful eyes
as if you were about to be broken and disappear
what can I do, my dear? please tell

(chorus)
my love grew when we couldn't meet
my heart ached because my voice didn't reach you
I find I can't go back to the times
when I didn't know you
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
why sometimes can't I say things honestly?
why sometimes can't I be tender?
why sometimes do we hurt each other?
why sometimes do we check each other?
why sometimes does my heart ache so much?
why does my heart always go out to you?
I can't think of anyone but you
I can't think of anyone but you

Ourselves

(chorus)

I hold you so tight

I get touched

I get discouraged

I hold you tight again

I pull myself together

I get prim

you know so many faces that belong to me

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

this road sure looks endless

but surely it has an end

only for once

I like to stop on the way

I prepare a way to escape

but it means nothing to me

to do so alone

because you know?

there is nothing but love

which no one in the world knows

(chorus)

and so now

I show myself only to you

which no one in the world knows

but I still may have

some secret sides that you have never seen

really never really seen

which no one in the world knows

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

there are so many choices

that I can't make any guesses

where I like to find my way at last

but as we walk side by side

expecting the same future

I feel nothing is so true as your profile

because you know?

there is nothing but love

that is valuable in the end

(chorus)

and so now

even if no one in the world knows me

I wish you alone to know me

yes, this is what I really want

even if no one in the world knows us

we know each other so well

and we compliment the other

(end chorus)

(chorus)

and so now

I show myself only to you

which no one in the world knows

but I still may have

some secret sides that you have never seen

really never really seen

which no one in the world knows

(end chorus)

(chorus)

I hold you so tight

I get touched

I get discouraged

I hold you tight again

I pull myself together

I get prim

you know so many faces that belong to me

(end chorus)

(chorus)

I hold you so tight

I get touched

I get discouraged

I hold you tight again

I pull myself together

I get prim

you know so many faces that belong to me

(end chorus)

(chorus)

I hold you so tight

I get touched

I get discouraged

I hold you tight again

I pull myself together

I get prim

you know so many faces that belong to me

(end chorus)

(chorus)

I hold you so tight

I get touched

I get discouraged

I hold you tight again

I pull myself together

I get prim

you know so many faces that belong to me

(end chorus)

HANABI ~Episode II~
(verse 1)
the summer has come again and again since then
but why am I looking back upon the past again
tracing the footprints in the sand?

(chorus)
I remember everything now
your voice calling my name
your casual habits
I want to forget and I don't want to forget
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
did I choose the right way?
but I keenly understand
there is no answer
whomever I may ask

(chorus)
please tell me someday
that you are happy now
and smile when you reply
that is all I could ask for
(end chorus)

(chorus)
I gently lock the memories away
leaving them to be beautiful
for as long as I shall live
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
this feeling, this feeling
go up into the sky
and be dispersed beautifully like a firework





No Way To Say
(verse 1)
the old wound left on me
begins to ache like it's fresh
I hide my trembling heart again
and pretend to smile

even in my age now, I'm the same as before
as timid as I once was
I only learn how to pretend to be strong

(chorus)
though my heart filled with feelings to convey
you see, I can't change them into words so well
if I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain to begin with
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
little by little
I've come to realize
that my past never ever heals well
and that it is no use
fearing the future I cannot refuse

how much more courage do I need I wonder
to say with my head held high
"this is the only important thing to me"?

(chorus)
though I have firm feelings within my body
you see, I can't change them into words easily
everyone is living this way
with feelings they can't express
(end chorus)

(bridge)

(chorus)
though I have firm feelings within my body
you see, I can't change them into words easily
everyone is living this way

(end chorus)





Forgiveness
(verse 1)
woah woah woah
woah woah woah

sometimes we make
terrible mistakes
it happens daily
and then while
we come to overlook a little
just like onlookers

(chorus)
we start to walk
as if nothing happened
but I remember today
that the fighting never ends
it just keeps going
never ending, it's scary
maybe everyone did so to protect love maybe just perhaps
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
we are only the dots
but are the whole
at the same time

if one day at some time
they are connected together
and form the lines

(chorus)
even if this is only a small lump
floating in the universe
I never give up tomorrow or the next day
without fear of fighting
maybe everyone in order to protect love perhaps maybe
(end chorus)

(chorus)
we start to walk
as if nothing happened
but I remember today
that the fighting never ends
it just keeps going

never ending, it's scary
maybe everyone in order to protect love perhaps maybe
maybe everyone wishes to believe in something worth believing in
(end chorus)





Memorial Address ~Take 2 Version~
(verse 1)
I remember I went to sleep late that night feeling uneasy
and had a very sad dream I wanted to wake from
the phone started to ring in the morning
breaking the silence
and the premonition became a reality
leaving an unfading scar on my heart that won't heal
you became a star by yourself

(chorus)
sayonara you have gone to the place where we can never meet again
I can't accept the coldness of the eternal parting
I wish I could have heard from you
that I had certainly been loved by you
only once, even if it had been a lie
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
the sorrow I had thought to be endless came to an end
the season has changed, I feel bitterly cold
I will never forget the first day of summer
the sky kept on weeping instead of me this year
I feel as if I were living in the continuation of the dream again
and I can't even cry now

(chorus)
sayonara even my last words do not reach you
I'm made to realize the coldness of the parting
I wish I could have heard from you
that you never regretted the days we had spent together
only once, even if it had been a lie
(end chorus)

(bridge)
why did you do it this way
I want to know
leaving memories only to the very end?

(chorus)
sayonara you have gone to the place where we can never meet again
I can't accept the coldness of the eternal parting
I wish I could have heard from you
that I had certainly been loved by you
only once, even if it had been a lie
(end chorus)

(ending)
please tell me this is only the story of the continuing dream
and that I'm not yet awake like I want it to be
