　1. ANGEL'S SONG
Escaping into nights, I told myself
That I was not at all alone
But after all, it revealed
Nothing but my loneliness day by day

On my way home from the bustle of the city
Though it was no different from any other day
I thought this cycle would continue
And tears welled up suddenly

Feeling weak and wretched
Uneasy and lonely
I wanted some warmth in a faint voice

But it's certain
You appeared suddenly
And a ray of light shone in my darkness
You smiled a little
Told me it was all right with a nod
Took my hand and started to walk
I saw an angel's wings on your back

It was not because I wanted to be dull to pain
That I wished to be strong

I was helped and supported by you
We gave and forgave each other
That day I got something that I wanted to protect

* Sometimes you are
Too unprotected
And come face to face with me
With all your might
It's so dazzling
That I even spare the time to blink
You have an angel's wings on your back

But it's certain
You appeared suddenly
And a ray of light shone in my darkness
You smiled a little
Told me it was all right with a nod
Took my hand and started to walk

* (repeat)

I heartily hope that you will not be
A victim of this sad age
I sing this song today just as I pray
So that my dearest wish may reach you


　2. Greatful days
la la la ...

The season I was looking forward to has come
The wind is stirring, the city is taking life

The morning comes earlier than usual
I feel I can walk with my head held high
Only for that

There are plenty of
Terrible news around nowadays
But please don't leave pleasure behind
Because of sadness

* The short summer is starting now
How many memories can I make with you?
The sun is just shining bright
And the waves are always rolling on the shore

The distorted, sharp sky among the buildings
The sky I used to see 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's not a matter of course
But might be of necessity
I never forget this feeling
That I certainly have what I should protect

This short summer will come to an end
I'll be with you at the moment, too
As I know
Nothing is as nice as the ordinary days

* (repeat)

la la la ...


　3. Because of You
* My eyes met yours, 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

The wind has already become cold
Laughing voices make the air white
It may be because of the winter
That I feel like crying for nothing

I remember that night
When we first met even now

* (repeat)

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 again and again till I understand it
You can even shout

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

Please don't smile
With such sorrowful eyes
As if you were about to be broken and disappear
What can I do, my dear?

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

Why can't I sometimes say honestly?
Why can't I sometimes be tender?

Why do we sometimes hurt each other?
Why do we sometimes test each other?

Why does my heart sometimes 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


　4. ourselves
* I hold you tight
I get touched
I get discouraged
I hold you tight again
I pull myself together
I get prim

You know many faces of mine

This road looks endless
But surely has the end
Only for once
I like to stop on the way
I prepare a way to escape
But it means nothing to do so without you

Because there is nothing but love
That is truly valuable, you know?

** So
I show myself
Only to you
Which no one in the world knows
But
I may still have
Some secret sides
You have never seen
Which no one in the world knows

There are so many choices
That I can't make any guess
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 constant as your profile

Because there is nothing but love
That is truly valuable, you know?

So
Even if no one in the world knows me
I wish you alone
To know me
Yes
Even if no one in the world knows us
We know each other
So well

** (repeat)
* (repeat x 4)


　5. HANABI 〜 episode II
The summer came
Again and again since then
But why am I looking back upon the past again
Tracing the footprints?

I remember everything even now

Your voice calling my name, your casual habits
I want to forget, and I don't want to forget

Did I choose the right way?
But I keenly understand
That there is no answer
Whomever I may ask it to

Please tell me some day that you are happy
And smile

I gently lock the memories away
Leaving them to be beautiful

This feeling
This feeling
Go up into the sky

And be dispersed beautifully
Like a firework
Like a firework


　6. No way to say
The old wound left on me
Begins to ache
I hide my trembling heart again
And pretend to smile

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

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain

Little by little, I've come to realize
That my past never heals
And that it's no use
Fearing the future I can't refuse

How much more courage do I need
To say with my head held high
"This is the only important thing to me?"

* Though I have firm feelings
You see, I can't change them into words as usual
Everyone is living this way
With feelings they can't express

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain and ...

* (repeat)


　7. forgiveness
Sometimes
We make
Terrible mistakes

And then while
We come to overlook a little
Like onlookers

* We start to walk
As if nothing had happened apparently
But I remember today
That the fighting never ends

Maybe everyone did so to protect love

Each of us is only a point
But is all
At the same time

If some day
They are connected together
And form the lines

Even if this is only a small lump
Floating in the universe
I never give up tomorrow
Without fear of fighting

Maybe everyone, in order to protect love

* (repeat)

Maybe everyone, in order to protect love
Maybe everyone wishes to believe in something


　8. Memorial address
I remember I went to sleep late that night feeling uneasy
And had a very sad dream
The phone started to ring in the morning, breaking the silence
And the premonition became a reality
Leaving an unfading scar on my heart
You became a star, alone

* Sayonara -- You have gone to the place where we can never meet again
I can't accept the coldness of our 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

The sorrow I had thought to be endless came to an end
The season has changed, I feel bitterly cold
I will never forget that 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
And I can't even cry now

Sayonara -- Even my last words don't reach you
It forces me to realize the coldness of our 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

Why did you do it this way
Leaving memories only to the very end?

* (repeat)

Please tell me this is only the story of the continuing dream
And that I'm not yet awake
