Party Queen

Party queen! Party queen!

Party queen! Party queen!
Party queen! Party queen!

Saturday night☆
Just a little earlier than usual, “kanpai”
The tension quickly escalates

Just like magic, rosy colors before my eyes
I want to be fascinated with these gold bubbles here

It’s ok to let it get to your head
Let go and let it get to your head
This is the centre of the world, and I’m the princess

The world is sparkling with light, let only convenient things
And fun things come into my sight

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

We need a drink☆
Friends gather and “kanpai”
And we continue with nothing but that till morning

All you people here
And all you people over there
It’s as if everyone’s already friends and family

The world is spinning round and round, who are you again?
I don’t even know who I am anymore

It doesn’t matter if the world is up or down, left or right
As long as we wish for it, we can go anywhere

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!
I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

Tomorrow’s hangover and retrospection, just forget them now
“If that’s too difficult for you, I won’t drink with you again”

The world is sparkling with light, let only convenient things
And fun things come into my sight

The world is spinning round and round, and we keep on repeating
No matter how many painful experiences come, we will never be defeated

I am the party queen! I am the party queen!
I am the party queen! I am the party queen!

tick tock tock don’t stop
Oh let’s go (coz) Life is short

Don’t just think about things all the time
Life is really short, so
kiss me kiss me

Walking down the street
Come on, move your feet
Feelings going deep
Every kiss is sweet (mwah)

All the gorgeous boiz
Come and make some noise
Listen to my voice
You don’t have no choice

We can run
Crazy girl! na-na-na-na-na
Fun fun No.1
Uh- We’re done…

Right or Wrong?
The night is long
We be strong
Go, go, go – c’mon!!

I’m glad that you are here as yourself
Because that is something only you can do

Don’t be bogged down by today’s defeats
Tomorrow will be a brand new day

Enjoying your life in this moment to the fullest
Is there anything more important than that?
tell me tell me

Go on a date
Stay up late
No heartbreak
So we shake shake shake

Let’s stay out
Crazy and proud
Love the sound
Play the music loud!!!

Club goes boom
Sing it girl na-na-na-na-na
Everybody swoon
Hot in the room

You’re the Party Queen
And you’re the Dancing Queen
I’m a Lonely Queen
Life is just a dream!

I’m glad that you are here as yourself
Because that is something only you can do

Don’t let yesterday’s regrets take precedence
Pride after victory will be your regret after defeat

-call

You probably won’t remember this
The sunrise which we saw that day
Was an end which seemed like a beginning
And so I couldn’t say anything

I just smiled, with all and everything I had

I heard a voice
Saying “Don’t leave me alone”
Saying “I’m fine as long as you’re by my side”
At that time, I was always searching
Until I felt that I have found something

Hey, but just what should I call this?

“Everything was an illusion”
“You were just dreaming”
Someone, please look me straight in the eye
And somehow say these things to me

Pretending that I’ve forgetten it all
I can do that really well now, but

You were warm as you wiped away my tears
You held me tight with those hands
For the first time in my life, I felt it
Sentimental, I felt like crying again

Hey, but just what should I call this?

I heard a voice
Saying “Don’t leave me alone”
Saying “I’m fine as long as you’re by my side”
At that time, I was always searching
Until I felt that I have found something

You were warm as you wiped away my tears
You held me tight with those hands
For the first time in my life, I felt it
Sentimental, I felt like crying again

Hey, just what

Hey, just what should I call this?

-Letter

How are you? Is life
Still difficult for you now?

People you can truly talk to
Do you have such friends now?

Today, I passed by that place
And there, I thought I heard the voices
Of us that night

So straight, so straight, always misunderstood
Nobody really understands you
But you try, you try
It’s ok even if you’re uncool
I like you just that way

Just maybe, happiness
Exists only in tiny amounts

That is really bitter and painful
We may often feel that way

But just for that tiny bit
Of warm happiness
With our noses dripping with snot
We have to grovel on the ground

So lonely, so lonely, drinking the night away
Reflecting, but right after that
You have fun, have fun
And drink a little too much
I like you just that way

So straight, so straight, always misunderstood
Nobody really understands you
But you try, you try
It’s ok even if you’re uncool

So lonely, so lonely, drinking the night away
Reflecting, but right after that
You have fun, have fun
And drink a little too much
I like you just that way

I like you just that way

-Reminds me

When, with this tired body
I reach my darkened room
And realize that I need to turn on the lights
I absolutely hate that moment

Because always, without fail
My returning memories flip to that page
From the supposedly buried distant past
Of events I wish to erase

Everyone has one or two things
Which they wish they could forget
But what they cannot forget
Is the pain of knowing that they cannot afford to forget

In the end, the road hasn’t ended
But still continues on

lalala…..

Someday, I’ll be able to accept it all
That day will surely come, right?
When that happens, it’ll be great
If I can forgive your everything

Everyone has one or two things
Which they wish they could forget
But what they cannot forget
Is the pain of knowing that they cannot afford to forget

In the end, the road hasn’t ended
But still continues on

When, with this tired body
I reach my darkened room
And realize that I need to turn on the lights
I absolutely hate that moment

-Return Road

The you reflected in my eyes and
The me reflected in your eyes

Caught each other’s gaze, and forgot to breathe
That moment when we first met
Alone now, I silently close my eyes
And gently cast my thoughts back

It’s just this small thing, but why am I like this
Unable to stop my tears?
We saw, we felt, we promised about
That formless thing
Is it still out there somewhere, smiling gently at us?

The two of us are no longer in each other’s eyes

That’s true, but it’s not that
Other things are reflected there
It’s just that the definite thing we saw that day
No longer exists anywhere

Others call it interesting and ridiculous
How we were together
No matter how understanding anyone looks
As they talk about us
Yes, the two of us cannot be understood by anyone else

It’s just this small thing, but why am I like this
Unable to stop my tears?
We saw, we felt, we promised about
That formless–

Others call it interesting and ridiculous
How we were together
No matter how understanding anyone looks
As they talk about us
Yes, the two of us cannot be understood by anyone else

-tell me why

What are you thinking of now?
In truth, in your eyes
Gentle things and heartwarming things
I want just these to be reflected in your eyes

Why do your eyes look so sad, yet you force yourself
To show me a look of excitement?
Why do you try your best to hold strong,
Telling me that you’re ok?

I want to hear your voice say
That you can’t truly reach me through the monitor screen
Trivial things and silly things
Even these all hold meaning

Why do you always shoulder everything
On your own, suffering alone?
Why do you take all the blame for this
Saying it’s all your fault?

If you do this, I become powerless wow oh
Can’t I even give you a little bit of support?
Hey, I want to share the burden too
Share your pain, your doubt, your past

Why do your eyes look so sad
Yet you force yourself…

Why do you try your best to hold strong,
Telling me that you’re ok?

oh oh Tell me why
oh oh Tell me why
oh oh Tell me why
oh oh Tell me why

oh oh Tell me why
oh oh Tell me why
oh oh Tell me why

Why did you say all that?

-the NEXT Love

Lalala…..

Standing in front of Mama’s mirror
Has such an extraordinary appeal
That even a childish girl like me
Can become whatever I wanted to be in my dreams

Believing in things I can’t see with my eyes, someday, I stopped doing that
Believing only in things I can see with my eyes, have I become an adult?

Mama used to say this to me
“Because you are beautiful,
A prince will come and wake you up
With a kiss someday”

Loving the person I am, when did I last do that?
Coming to hate the person I am, have I become an adult?

That thing which they call love
Just where can I find it?
What does it look like?
How much do I need to pay?
Hey, where did you buy it?

Lalala…

-Eyes, Smoke, Magic

Papa, holding his popcorn in one hand
Is with his buddy, the TV remote, again today
Seeing him, Mama, as usual
Shows a melancholy face, a wrinkle between her brows

Watching them, I pretend not to notice

Yes, my best friends are
Diamonds and roses
Is there anything more valuable?
Mama didn’t teach me about that

Papa is a little different today
Holding nachos in one hand, he watches TV

Again, Mama shows a sullen face

Yes, so again, I’ll remain silent today
Say 「Eyes, Smoke, Magic」

Watching them, I pretend not to notice

Again, Mama shows a sullen face

-how beautiful you are

Thank you again for today
Your smile saved me

Thank you again for today
Just stay there as you are

Because you cried for me
Watching you made me want to cry again

I wish that the feelings I feel through these held hands
Will always be here

You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
More than you’ll ever know
You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
Because you are always beautiful

Thank you again for today
Your tears taught me

Thank you again for today
For bringing me through

As long as you keep moving forward
Watching you, I’ll be encouraged again

I wish that this gentle and calm breeze
Will envelop me

You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
More than you’ll ever know
You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
You have grown kind and strong

You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
you are you are
You don’t know You don’t know
how beautiful you are
Because you are always beautiful

-progress

I was afraid of simple days so long ago
I know now it's complicated days that are sad

I don't mean to say I want to return
My heart wants to believe, and look, it's shouting in my back, "You aren't wrong at all"

* Two of us are having the same time and believing in the same future
Our tears yesterday and our smiles today are both true

Because we know the same pain, bring along the same tenderness
And change them into the strength to live on tomorrow

I was fighting at that time, at that place
If all my deeds were to choose the way I am now

I wonder if it's because I want to be forgiven
That I want to forgive my past I couldn't face, I left behind and looked away from

The days we could just be free are far past
And though we can't spend the days with just innocent smiles now

We go forward, we continue to go forward even so
Because we still have the hearts to believe in something

You see? We haven't and will not
Want much at all

* (repeat)

If we know the same pain, bring along the same tenderness
And can change them into the strength to live on tomorrow, surely...

wow wow wow
wow wow yeah

-ANother song feat. URATA NAOYA

"But we only envied
Our neighbor's lives"
"And we lost sight of each other
Being too near"

I see my own reflection in the mirror
And feel wretched and so irritated
But I can't rewind time
I miss you

* I loved you painfully
I loved you irresistibly
Those summer days are far past
But I sing another song, wishing it reaches you

"By and by
We notice afterward"
"So we understood
In tears"

"Can I meet you again
Down the winding road?"
I dream a foolish dream like this
Miss you so bad

** I loved you all day yesterday
I loved you all day today
I'll surely love you tomorrow
And I sing another song to you

With whom are you now?
And what expression are you showing?
I can't yet be used to the days
Without you

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

I'm sorry, I love you even now
Am I dishonest? But I love you
Those summer days are far past
But I sing another song, wishing it reaches you

To you ...
Wishing it reaches you ...

-Why... feat. JUNO

Time has passed since then, what has changed?
What did the distance keep away from me?
I moved a little away so as not to hurt you
But was it actually because I didn't want to be hurt?

Though we are apart, I can hear
The voice calling my name
Wherever I may be, I seek for
Your back

* Why didn't I tell you more often
Like "I want to see you" and "I feel lonely"?
I didn't even know the difference
Between tenderness and selfishness

The important thing was to meet our eyes
And not the number of the words we exchanged

If I had thrown away my pride
Are the things different now?

** How many times did I try to say, "I love you"
And couldn't I say so again and again?
How much stronger should we have been
To make it better?

The dream we pictured and the future we promised each other
Have faded little by little since that day and I lost sight of them
I try to reach out, but can reach nowhere
Why... wow

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

-beloved

Yesterday, I couldn't walk well yet
And I hurt someone with random words
Today, people are talking behind my back
And I'm looking down to avoid their stares

My dear, how do you see me, how do I look in your eyes?
My dear, I want you alone to tell me the truth and scold me when I'm wrong

* I want you never to change
And stay there, just there
And please let me stay by your side
Though I can never change with unnatural smile

I wonder if I can expect myself a little tomorrow
Lifting the edges of my lips
My dear, do you think I'm still laughable and not good enough?
My dear, I want you alone to show me the truth and laugh away, "You are foolish"

Do you still remember the continuation of the dream
You were talking about that night?
It's all as vivid as before without fading
And ruling my heart even now

My dear, I want you alone to praise me
Even if others may deny me

* (repeat)

My dear, I know that actually
You aren't so strong, either
I can do nothing for you
But I'm always embracing your heart

-BRILLANTE

I decided that this is my last time to write
Thinking of you
I don't tell you the reason
This is the biggest present from me

A human is much stronger
Than I thought, isn't he?
I've stayed in the darkness a little longer
But it's time to go

I coundn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I have no choice but to walk alone

When tha pain becomes
Far beyond the reach of imagination

There is no more energy left
To be able to cry or shout
A human is entirely
Caught in nothingness, isn't he?

What had been two
Became one, and became two
It's no more than that
We've just come full circle, haven't we?

I coundn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I can no more walk on, side by side with you

-You were...

The lovers I pass are walking shoulder to shoulder
I feel it's biting cold, because you are not here
I was shining, because I was in love
I was so carried away that I even forgot the seasons and needed nothing else but you

* I thought you were my last person
I wanted my love for you to be my last one
What on earth should I think of
All alone under such a vast night sky ?

I'm thinking again by whose side you are smiling now
I wonder how much time will pass until my suffering ends

** The thread of the dream you were talking about sometime
That line you always said
It's easier for me to forget them all, isn't it?
But I don’t want to forget a single one

The moment I'm surrounded by silence
I'm hit by the memories, too tender and warm

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

But I don’t want to forget a single one

-YOU

Your face from the side
Is so beautiful that it saddens me
Without being able say even a single word
When I realize it, the tears start flowing
I'm sure that everyone, more than they thought
Felt hurt and exhausted
I'm sorry for not noticing

Wrapped in the winds of spring
Imagining distant dreams
Through the break in the clouds they've all disappeared
The autumn sky causes my heart to ache
The sea in the winter is so cold
To the point where I feel I'm falling into a dream
Time kept passing

I've passed through those many incidents
And now, the fact that you're here
Can always be something I can think proudly of
People always seem to feel they can't put it into words
While holding memories and feelings
I'll go on living

Always taking the hard path
There were also times when I felt exhausted
But when we finally arrive...
Just being by your side soothes my soul
Someday, pray I can be that support

Wrapped in the winds of spring
Imagining distant dreams
Through the break in the clouds they've all disappeared
The autumn sky causes my heart to ache
The sea in the winter is so cold
To the point where I feel I'm falling into a dream
Time kept passing

-Wishing

I've never tried to count how long it's been since we met
but I feel like spending more time with you.
In a day that will soon give in to nightfall, you always finally call
"Let's meet over there now," I am saved by those words.
Maybe it's because I've had a lot of experience with this kind of thing.
So much that it's mysterious, I can feel you near me.

I'm sorry for always relying on you, it's just that I can't do anything myself...
More than anyone else, I'm praying that the dream you drew in your heart comes true.
That you can be happy together with that person you love so much.

When the things I've been storing up for so long suddenly come flowing out,
you cried with me by my side, and we lauged.
Countless as the stars, again and again we meet and break up.
At that time I lost more than I gained, but it's different now.

I'm always relying on you but, this time I'll do it myself.
You're really not that strong, and I know I can't be alone.
I hope that you can laugh together with that person you love so much.
