Ano Natsu no Hanabi (That summer's fireworks) (from the The Swinging Star album)

My heart trembles from the sound echoing from far away
The other side of the humid darkness is burning
The flash awakened this summer's fireworks
The river breeze carried the scent of the powder
   Tooku kara mune furuwasu oto ga hibiite kuru
   Mushiatsui yami no mukou ga yaketeiru
   Senkou ga yobi samashita ano natsu no hanabi wo
   Kawakaze ga hakonda kayaku no nioi wo

Right now, are you thinking somewhere also?
About that day
   Imagoro anata mo dokoka de omoidashiteru no?
   Ano hi no koto

In the beginning of summer, I've already teased my friend
Just our noses & cheeks were sunburned
   Tomodachi ni hiyaka sareta mou natsu no hajime ni wa
   Futari shite hana to hoho dake yaketeita

Are you watching this year's fireworks with someone else too?
Did you watch the scattered season going by with that person?
   Imagoro anata mo dareka to kotoshi no hanabi wo miteru no?
   Chitteku kisetsu wo issho ni ikite yukeru hito mitsuketa?

Right now, are you thinking somewhere also?
About the fireworks during that summer
   Imagoro anata mo dokoka de omoidashiteru no?
   Ano natsu no hanabi wo

Right now, are you also somewhere as the scattered season goes by?
With someone right now...
   Imagoro anata mo dokoka de chitteku kisetsu wo ikiteru
   Imagoro dareka to...

DA DIDDLY DEET DEE (from The Swinging Star)

D.D.D.D. I tweet tweet a whistle; Let's hurry to our love nest
D.D.D.D. I beep beep the horn; Let's hurry to our new love nest
   D.D.D.D. kuchibue wo TWEET TWEET, futari no "ai no su" e isogou
   D.D.D.D. KURAKUSHON wo BEEP BEEP, atarashii "ai no su" e isogou

Taiyou ga Miteru (From The Swinging Star)

On our 3rd date, we take a drive further than that point (cape)
Even if we talk, the wind gets in the way & our voices can't reach each other, so it's an irritating distance.
   Ano misaki yori mo tooku e sandome no DEETO wa DORAIVU
   Hanashi kaketemo kaze ga jama shite todokanai koe modokashii kyori

When you hold me without saying anything,
I'm happy, very happy.
   Nanimo iwazu ni dakishimete kuretara
   Ureshii noni sugoku ureshii noni

Just the two of us began to move
There are a lot of things we can't express
   Ugokihajimeta bakari no futari ni wa
   Kuchi ni dasenai koto ga ippai

Goodbye Darlin' (From Million Kisses)
I love you, I love you a lot
I understand that I've been unreasonable towards you
I can't choose, I won't choose
I put an endmark on my role
   Suki dakara daisuki dakara
   Wakaru koto mo aru anata ni mo
   Erabenai erabanai
   ENDOMAAKU oku yakume wa watashi ne

I notice that you threw the calendar that filled up with many plans
& I go away quickly
???
   Yotei takusan kakikondeta KARENDAA suteta koto kizuite
   Soushite hayaku itte yo
   Hikitomete shimaitaku naru sono mae ni sayonara DAARIN

Even if we kiss a million times,
you have a place to return to
   Hyakuman no KISU o shitemo
   Anata ni wa kaeru tokoro ga aru kara

When I want to see you, I say "I want to see you"
On stormy days, I say "I want to be by your side"
I'm going to find an honest love
With sad courage, I break things off with you; goodby darlin'
   Aitai toki aitai to ieru arashi no hi soba ni ite to ieru
   Sunao na koi wo mitsukeru
   Kanashii yuuki de anata o owarasete sayonara DAARIN

When you're not here,
even an important book or movie
doesn't fill me up
   Taisetsu na hon mo eiga mo
   Anata no inai jikan wo
   Uzumerare wa shinai kedo

Goodbye darlin'...
   Sayonara DAARIN...

Our hands separate [from each other]
   Kono te wo hodokeba

Kusuriyubi no Kesshin (Ringfinger Determination) (from Million Kisses)

Because I had no expectations, I'm just surprised
I have never known this kind of happiness
The path we walked oon until today seems to be the right one
This feeling is like magic that is disappearing
   Yasou mo shinakatta kara odoroiteiru dake
   Kon'na ureshii koto to wa shiranakatta no
   Kyou made aruita michi wo tadashii to omoeru
   Mahou ga toketeku mitai son'na kimochi yo

You first gave me a determination of my ring finger
Isn't it weird that my tears won't stop
My "thank you" will transmitted well from my heart
   Kusuriyubi no kesshin wo anata ga hajimete kureta
   Hen ne namida tomaranai
   Umaku tsutawatte kokoro kara no arigatou

Wasurnaide (Don't forget) (from Million Kisses)

I go & see you when the season changes
I put on new clothes
My heart aches, but I don't cry
You see that I've gotten a bit thinner
   Kisetsu ga kawaru goto ni anata ni ai ni yuku wa
   Atarashii fuku o kite
   Kokoro ga itamu deshou naitari wa shinai kedo
   Sukoshi yaseta watashi o mite

Even if I hate you, I won't forget you
I don't want to become a memory now
   Nikundemo wasurenaide ite
   Omoide ni nado naritakunai ima wa mada

With your indirect words, you're making sure that [our relationship] is over
for someone new.
   Toomawashi na kotoba de owari wo tashikameteru
   Atarashii dareka no tame

That word is more painful than goodbye
That word makes me unable to be a friend
On the day I heard that word, I don't want to see you anymore
   Sayonara yori mo tsurai sono hitogoto o
   Tomodachi ni mo narenai sono hitogoto o
   Kiku hi ga kita no ne mou awanai no ne

Even if I hate you, I won't forget you
I don't want to become a memory now, I won't become [a memory]
   Nikundemo wasurenaide ite
   Omoide ni nado naritakunai ima wa mada narenai

Don't forget my fingers, my hair, my voice...dont forget
   Wasurenaide yubi mo kami mo koe mo wasurenaide

Eyes to Me (from Million Kisses)

When I wear the blue shirt, it really matches
with the morning & the sunset
   BURUU no SHATSU kitara sugoku niau
   Asa mo yuuyake ni mo

You turn this way, laugh, don't get embarassed, & smile, smile, smile
You know me only by my nice face; eyes to me
You turn this way, laugh, don't get embarassed, & smile, smile, smile
With you face your eyes face to me only
   Kotchi muite waratte terenaide Smile, Smile, Smile
   Watashi dake shitteru II kao de Eyes to me
   Kotchi muite waratte terenaide Smile, Smile, Smile
   Watashi dake ni kureru ano kao de Eyes to me

I get up early & go out
Before it disappears, a drop sticks to the dewy grass
I'm on the first page of your album
today I'll produce
   Hayaokide dekakeyou
   Tsuyukusa ni tsuku shizuku ga kienai uchi ni
   Anata no ARUBAMU no ichi PEEJI watashi ni
   Kyou wa sasete PURODUUSU

Someday we'll go to a rose garden
& the shade of a gajumaru tree together
   BARA no hana no niwa mo gajumaru no kokage mo
   Itsuka futari de yukou

Under the secret bridge, in the park desert
I extend my hands up to the sky in the back of the elm tree in springtime
With you face you smile, smile, smile to me only
With you face your eyes face to me only
   Himitsu no hashi no shita de kouen no sabaku de
   HARU NIRE wo BAKKU de sora ni te wo hirogete
   Watashi dake ni kureru ano kao de Smile, Smile, Smile
   Watashi dake ni kureru ano kao de Eyes to me
