01. NIGHT OF TOKYO CITY
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

Love – the fashion of lonely young girls’ lives
Love – the one-room condo that friendship forgot
Love – your passionate expression
Tokyo, Tokyo, 
But still
I broke up with someone last week
But next week I’ll definitely
Have fun and change my destiny

I bit my lip and began to cry
Because I knew the reality
I cried when I felt like
I envied everyone else

Pre-Chorus 1
Don’t bother with meaningless words
Just hold me tight
Hold me so tight
That I forget my loneliness

Chorus 1
It’s scary being alone (Lonely Night)
Someone please reply
It’s like the phone is ignoring me too
It’s scary being alone (Lonely Night)
It’s like there’s nobody else around
Even if I picked up the phone to call someone
They probably wouldn’t answer
Tokyo City

My lips were dry 
That night (Ha) the sweet hours flew by
I felt like nobody could be nearly as happy as I was

Pre-Chorus 2
Even though you never opened up to me,
I loved you
I loved you so much I forgot I was lonely

Chorus 2
I wandered around alone (Lonely Night)
Someone please find me
There’s enough people out on these streets
I wandered around alone (Lonely Night)
It’s like there’s nobody else around
I never noticed that when I was with you
Tokyo City

Repeat Pre-Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 1

02. Manatsu no Kousen
(Midsummer Light)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

Ah, the blue sky smiled upon us
What good timing for a drive
There are days like this
Ah, too many good things are happening at once
With my rain man boyfriend whistling

Well, who cares?
I’ll go with you
Even though you’re a little comical

Chorus 1
Ah, this summer is different than last year
You’re here, I’m not lonely
Endless, endless summer
Ah, I really want to open the window
And yell out to everyone that I love you
Endless, endless summer
Even if the highway’s crowded
I don’t mind a bit
I don’t want to go home tonight
Endless summer

Ah, I can see some of the blue sea now
If it’s the same as usual, we’ll be completely lost
And I’ll be upset

To be honest
I like you
Even though you can be a bit stupid sometimes

Chorus 2
Ah, let’s pray together
To the summer sun
That we stay this way forever
Endless, endless summer
Ah, I’ve just made another
Great memory with you
An endless, endless summer
Just for us
If you kiss me tonight
Then I don’t mind a bit
If it rains on the way home
Endless summer

Repeat Chorus 1

(Memory – The Sparkle Of Youth)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

Chorus 1
I know this note is a bit long
But please read it all the way to the end
I never knew
That being alone was this lonely

That night when everything shattered
I cried so hard and said goodbye
This love has exhausted me
I’ll return the key to the room

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
I never want to see that face again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
The person I loved

Chorus 2
You can tear up this note and throw it away
But please read it all the way to the end first
I’d never been held so tenderly before you
The memories will go
But please, don’t love your new girlfriend
As much as you loved me
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

We lasted this long
By just a small chance
We went from fooling around
To love before we knew it

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
We’ll probably never see each other again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
Our room

Repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 3
Memories, my memories
I learnt how hard breaking up was
By loving you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 

Repeat Chorus 2

04. Suki de X 5
(I Love You x5)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

I cried on my birthday
I cried at the stars in the sky
I cried as I thought about you
That summer night
I cried because I couldn’t sleep
I cried because I was lonely
I cried because I didn’t know if you loved me too
Ummm…

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, even at midnight
Love you, love you, love you, it never stops
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve
Cried, cried, cried, cried, cried
Cried over you

Chorus
I don’t regret it, I don’t regret it
I want you to hold me forever
Even though I can’t kiss you
Like a sensible adult
Even though I don’t know anything
I love you more than anything in the world
Even though it’s a clumsy love
I love you with all my heart

I cried at Christmas
I even cried in the bathroom
I cried as I dreamed of you
On that winter night
I cried when I watched a TV drama
I cried when I slept in
I cried while I imitated your little quirks
Ummm…

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
I’ve thought that so many times
But the fact that I love you, love you, love you, doesn’t change
Your smile, your smile, your smile, your smile, your smile,
That gorgeous smile
I love your smile

I don’t want to worry about this forever
I want to tell you how I really feel
You’re my first love, and my longing for you
Is a bit hard for me to handle
Even though I don’t know much
I want you to love me more than anything in the world
Even though this love has me completely disoriented
I love you more every day that goes by

Repeat Chorus

05. Furusato
(Hometown)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

When I went to Tokyo to live on my own
My mother’s kindness penetrated my heart
It was because I was living in Tokyo on my own
That I managed to fall in love with him

I got my heart broken
Is It OK to cry?
I’m going to go home
On my next break

Chorus 1
Even if my tears don’t stop
Scold me like you used to, My Mother
My tears may never stop
I’m sorry I’ve been such a selfish daughter, Mother

Even though I live in Tokyo on my own
I’m still the same person I used to be
I’ve learnt how to put on makeup
But I’m not very good at it 

I had some great days
Because he was there
Love is wonderful, isn’t it?
I was never lonely

Chorus 2
My tears won’t stop
Because I’m so relieved, My Mother
My tears won’t stop
But it’s OK if I fall in love again, right, Mother?

If I see a shooting star 
What should I wish for?

Sha la, sha la la la, sha la la la la la la la…

Repeat Chorus 1

06. daite HOLD ON ME!
(Hold Me – Hold On Me!)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

After-Chorus
Oh No Hold On Me 
You’re a loveless guy, aren’t you?

You’re supposed to love me
But it’s really a breakdown
What’s with that cool judgement?
Which is it? 
It’s the end, isn’t it?
There’s no way I wouldn’t notice
That cold attitude

Shake it Do it Do it
No matter how much I cry, it’s still the same
The connection between us is gone
Shake it Do it Do it
No matter how many times I ask you, it’s still the same
I don’t want to break up

Chorus 1
Wow Hold On Me
I want to hear you say you love me
Kiss me and stroke my hair
Kiss me and smile
I want to hear you say you love me
Forever like this, oh my darling
A bit longer like this, oh my darling
I want to hear you say you love me
Kiss me and put your arms around me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
I want to hear you say you love me
Forever like this, oh my darling
A bit longer like this, oh my darling
Hold me, hold me, hold me, oh lonely night

Repeat After-Chorus

You Gotta, you don’t understand romance or love
So the girls don’t cry over you
The naiveté of romance, the guts of love
Then bye-bye feelings of love
I’ll always love you, I love you
Even tomorrow I still won’t listen
In the theatre of love, I’ll calculate the worth of this romance
From there it’ll probably be goodbye

It’s a serious problem
That can’t be fixed
Right before the romance goes down the tubes
This week, next week, the week after
Hand-phone memories
A meaningless scrawl
A scary feeling 
That I might not have the courage to do it

Shake It Baby Baby
It burns and burns but it won’t go away
It should have been love
No matter how much time we spend together
It’s not you anymore

Chorus 2
Wow Hold On Me
Didn’t you say you loved me so much?
Kiss me and stroke my hair
Kiss me and smile
Didn’t you say you loved me so much?
Forever like this, oh my darling
A bit longer like this, oh my darling
Didn’t you say you loved me so much?
Kiss me and put your arms around me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Didn’t you say you loved me so much?
Forever like this, oh my darling
A bit longer like this, oh my darling
Hold me, hold me, hold me, oh lonely night

Repeat Chorus 1

07. Papa ni nite iru kare
(My Boyfriend Who looks Like Dad)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

It's before dawn - 5am 
Everyone's asleep 

It looks like I can get away without them noticing 

Muffle the sound of the motorbike; it carries a long way 
I managed to sneak out with my little sister's help 

Chorus 1
Mum, Dad (Mum, Dad), I'm sorry (I'm sorry) 
Maybe I'm a bad daughter 
But you'd (probably) like him, (Mum) 
Because he looks like Dad 
Next (next) weekend (weekend) 
I'm going to invite him round 
Teach me (a lot) about cooking 
(He's) fussy about his food 
Even though he's strong, he gets lonely a lot 
Even though he's stubborn, he cries easily 
Woo 

The sun has come up It's so nice 

It's really impressive 
I want to share it with my little sister 

Driving along the beach, we stop at the first place we come to 
And look at our map 

Chorus 2
Mum, Dad (Mum, Dad) I'm sorry (I'm sorry) 
I wonder if you're up yet 
But he's (probably) not (the least bit) bad 
He's the person I love the most 
He's nervous 
About next (next) weekend (weekend) too 
His hair may be red (for some reason, but) 
Surely what's inside is more important than looks? 
Even though he's clumsy, he's a nice person 
I hope you and him don't get too close, Mum 
Woo

09. Koi no Shihatsu Ressha
(The Love Train)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

Well, it feels fast, doesn’t it
Summer’s coming again
Our summer together, our second summertime
But it feels slow, doesn’t it
On the day before a date
Time goes too slowly, doesn’t it

One night when I couldn’t sleep
I called you at midnight
We’re both the same
You were awake too

Chorus 1
Jump aboard the love train
To a really faraway place
No-one knows where love will take us
Let’s just go with our feelings

Um, this is a secret
Don’t tell anyone
I’ll tell you just once (I love you)

During the tough times
You were there for me
And you’re here
For the good times too

Chorus 2
Jump aboard the love train
To some faraway city
Sure, we may get lost, but even if we do
I’m so happy because I’m with you

Jump aboard the love train…
No-one knows where love will take us…

Repeat Chorus 1 & 2

10. Otome no Shinrigaku
(A Girl’s Psychology)
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

I love rock ‘n’ roll…
I sing and I sing
For some reason I feel like singing
It'll measure up, it'll measure up to my dreams 
I’ll live my life believing that 
Kiss me tonight, yeah, kiss me tonight
Kiss me more tenderly
I yearn for you, I just yearn for you,
Please love me more tenderly

Yeah! I’m really uncomplicated
Do you like that? What do you think of that?
I’m really genuine
So do you like that? What do you think of that?
Am I too down?

Chorus 1
We’re carving out our love
To the rhythm
You’re everything
Hi! Shake Up Shake Hip
Let’s play the melody of our love
It’s a girl’s psychology

But I worry, I worry
See, there’s a new lunch menu
But you choose, you choose
We’ll go with what you want
Love me tender, yeah, love me tender
Be a bit nicer when you scold me
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Make it a little easier to understand

Yeah! I never disagree with you
Do you like that? I wonder what you think of that!
I don’t reflect on anything
Do you like that? What’s going to happen?
Huh? My fringe is too even?

Chorus 2
Even if the rhythm changes
I won’t let love get away
I’m with you
Hi! Shake Up Shake Hip
Even if the melody changes
Our love won’t miss a beat
It’s a girl’s dynamic

Oh! Everybody, come on, rock ‘n’ roll!!

Yeah! I’m really uncomplicated
Do you like that? What do you think of that?
I’m really genuine
So do you like that? What do you think of that?
“Do you like it in Chiba?”

Repeat Chorus 1 & 2

12. DADIDUDEDODADI
Translation by: Julie Rose
Click for romaji lyrics

I put on a worry-free face
It’s embarrassing to be seen
Wolfing down your food
So I just look innocent
I'm a little in love with my junior high memories 
I liked the soccer club, I liked the baseball club 
I liked name brands 

Dadidudedodadi!
Everybody, Everybody!
Is this OK? Our youth?

Chorus
You’re only young once
Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!
So it’s OK, right?
You’re only young once
Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!
So it’s OK, right?
Na Na Na Na Na

Being with him is so exhausting!
She’s so dull!
But it’s boring on my own
So I can’t win!

No-one replies to my emails
Plus I don’t have enough money
And when I went to the convenience store to browse through the comics
It started to rain

Dadidudedodadi!
Everybody! Everybody!
Is this really OK? Our youth?

Repeat Chorus x2

La la la…
