Surely, no one hoped for so many things.
Hold the flowers close to your heart;
they may someday bloom.
This year, once again, the seasons have passed.
Memories have faded.
The border between my blurry dream and
reality has become blurred.
Even so, the dream I once told you of
did not have a single lie.
It was not coincidental that we chose what's left
If the universe has a will
I think we are part of it
Tender and precious
How many times have I searched for something
Found and lost it
Since then?
If you were alone
and suddenly became blind,
and even so
you keep walking forward.
If time is a fading dream
Then it would be like a flower
Even if destined to fall
It would be all the more valuable in its transience.
Today, in this city
two people will meet and lock eyes;
the curtains are then turbulently thrown open.
[...] Today, in this city
two people will separate their paths;
the curtains are then silently lowered.

Even if you think you are too bold
It's all fine
In all honesty, I'm hesitant
To be prudent and reserved
OK, together now, "Bold & Delicious!"
Don't watch me quietly, stand up please, "Bold & Delicious!"
Isn't it? It's as if we have just entered a new age
It's a miracle;
we will never experience it again
Let's remember it once more
I feel most miserable
When I can't step "step up to the plate"
You know? People often say
Regret from doing it is better than regret for not doing it
When I woke up, I found
by my pillow a teddy bear
instead of you.
You see? The times have changed
But why do I still hear people say
"Tears are woman's weapons"?
We don't cry easily
We are not always flirty
We are not dolls
Who are only dressed to the nines.
If you don't need it, then
it is useless to be compassionate.
If it's important then
it will probably be followed with pain.
Loneliness that you feel with someone is worse
than one you feel
alone.
I feel that
these glass shoes are too fragile
for running through this era.
It is necessary that I am viewed as a product. I am a product.
In times when I encounter sad things
I have a habit of saying "I'm all right".
On that day, something had stopped for me
And no matter
how much I pray,
I can't find a single star.
An interested stranger asked me
How do I see the scenery from here?
I reply
It's how you think it would be.
It's useless to explain
Everybody GO! Everybody JUMP!
Because we want the same happiness
We keep carving the same wounds onto our hearts.
Forever, forever
So I won't forget you
I call you over and over again
Please don't cry any more
I won't leave you alone.
Why are you ashamed of yourself?
What happens after that?
But I really like your way of walking
In which you head straight and always hit a wall.
The lovers, appearing happy,
walk, holding hands.
Though it appears everything is perfect,
only they know the truth.
I thought Mommy's life was strange, not mine.
