Lyrics: Kate, Yuki
Romaji by: cori
[cori's note: the translated part of this song was already in the lyric book]
She has me wondering
Who is this crazy thing
Flying through the light and the dark
Amazing pondering thundering wandering
Wearing a cape and a scarf
She's a mystery
a woman with mountain-moving power
She is a diva
She gives me fever
Transcending time and bearing flowers
Diving for pearls
Shining out liquid fire
a volcano of laughter and desire
Taiyou ga iroasete iku no nara
Sono kagayaki o torimodosou me o samasou nemuru DAINASOO
Kanojo wa sora kara yatte kuru
Uchuu o hirogeru NASA FBI yori CIA
Mirai o tsunageru CHANSU o kureru
JANPINGU SHUUZU!
If the color of the sun is fading out
Let's get that color back
Open your eyes sleeping dinosaur
She is coming from the sky
N-A-S-A expanding cosmos
F-B-I or C-I-A?
The jumping shoes
giving us a chance to build a bridge
to our future
Fighting for Peace
Smiling like the morning sun
Bringing flowers to coldest winter
Here she comes!
* Super Hero
For Tomorrow
She will be glad to save the day
Super Hero
For Tomorrow
We need a woman like her today
Here she comes!

Lyrics: Kate, Yuki
* Willy Nilly Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly Willy Nilly, yeah
Willy Nilly Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly Willy Nilly
Willy Nilly Willy Nilly, yeah
This can of hairspray has a set of instructions
Don't puncture or incinerate
Don't use while operating heavy equipment
* repeat
Yeah I love your hair
Air, everybody needs air
But without my hairspray
How can I maintain control of my hair?
Those hairspray is hazardous to operate
Don't use around the kids or under medication, yeah
I don't use hairspray anymore
But I'm driving a big gas-guzzling car
I can't give it up!
* repeat
I really really love my hairspray
I really really need my hairspray
I really really love my hairspray

04. Aurora Tour
Lyrics: Kate, Yuki
Romaji by: cori
[cori's note: the translated part of this song was already in the lyric book]
* Nobody knows why we forget
we have love inside of us baby
You know you mean the world to me
but I'm going on "Aurora Tour"
One day a long time ago
One day a little girl made up her mind
Someday she would go tot he ends of the world
searching for love
Maiyo, sora o miageta.
MAI HOOMU ima wa mou umi no mukou
Hoshii mono wa, itsu demo sou...
"Sou. Me ni wa mienai wa."
Dakara shiritai no. Hirogaru yume no subete.
Hoshi no akari tadotte, arukitsuzukete
She looks up in the sky everynight
My home, it's already beyond the ocean
I can't see what I'm looking for
(That's light...I can't see)
That's why I want to know
All the growing dreams
following the light of a star keep walking
* repeat
You've got love
right there inside you and the light
that shines so pink and green at night
in the glowing sky
Do what you're gonna do and
Say what you're gonna say yes!
Can you hear this LULLABYE?
The sound is like the clouds as they go by
Nobody knows why we forget
we have love inside of us baby
Nobody knows why sometimes we lose it
Everyone knows you mean the world to me
My path is still rising and shining today
I'm going on "Aurora Tour"
She's out there every night
watching the northern lights
She's found the love inside
The colors are exploding and shimmering
Nobody knows why we forget
we have love inside of us baby
Nobody knows why sometimes we lose it
Everyone knows you mean the world to me
Our love is rising and shining today
We're going on "Aurora Tour"

05. In The Park
Lyrics: Kate
Picture this--it's a Saturday morning trip
I'm with you my sweet fool
I'm strolling down to get cool
and take a city vacation
I'm going to the park
I see a golden spark above
Today I could fall in love
I'll take a subway to the park
I see lovers entangled
I'm wearing beads and golden bangles
The sun shining sweetly on life
I'm walking in the park
Lai Lai La Lai
Lai Lai La Lai
Lai La Lai
I see lovers entangled
I'm wearing beads and golden bangles
I see purple tulip petals
Floating through a hole in the sky
This hummingbird has found an oasis
children here with smiling faces and
I feel high a kite could fly
'cause I'm walking in the park
I see lovers entangled
I'm wearing beads and golden bangles
I hold the key to life in my hand
I ask why
I wonder
I am wild
Lai Lai La Lai
Lai Lai La Lai
Lai La Lai
For now...no responsibilities
oh, I'm throwing kisses to the trees
I love this feeling of freedom I get
when I'm walking in the park
La Lai Lai Lai Lai...
I'm walking in the park
La La La Lai La Lai
I'm walking in the park

I have had many friends since sometimes I don't remember exactly
Friends who I can fight, laugh, and cry with
No need to talk, we know...
Long time no see, but I feel that you are always beside me
I have lost many friends since sometimes I don't remember exactly
Like a wind that's slowly blowing by the river
Slowly...
* So...We can do everything
and we can do the right thing
* repeat

I wake up in the middle of the night
I felt sad
I saw you in my dream today
I don't exactly remember what the dream was all about
You had such a big smile, that I can't believe you are gone
It is really like a dream
* repeat

Lyrics: Kate, Yuki
From the J-drama Kanojotachi no Jidai
I woke up to this morning at dawn
I believe that I've been reborn
Threw out my dolls and got a dog
So stop crying
I look down and see my two feet on the ground
Say it--oh won't you sing it baby
Please sing this is my life anyway

Sometimes everything looks a little far away to me
Sing a song and play with me

11. I Remember You
Lyrics: Kate
I heard a song on the radio today
and it made me
remember you
And I saw you in my mind
It was in the spring we were at a love-in
We wanted to drive
on your motorcycle
We wanted to go
to San Francisco
Suddenly you were taken from me
Sadly you left me and
I still can hear your voice after all this time
You left like a wind
That's slowly blowing by the river my friend
I'll never see you again
But I'll be alright I'll be alright
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We were going to San Francisco
We were gonna leave in the Summer
The world's moving slowly but it's changin'
And people can be cold
They'll treat you like a stranger
I want it to be like we're dancing at night
'cause I can think in the dark
I run I run I run
The power of your memory
The power of your memory
You're my nightingale
The light is slowly fading
I'd like to know what it's like there
Where you are
With peace in our hearts
We were gonna go to San Francisco
The light shines on the roof and I'm living proof
that you are still here
'cause I remember you
The light shines on the roof and I'm living proof
that you are still with me
'cause I remember you

Lyrics: Kate
I'm on screen
in front of the camera
my scene is total glamour
I feel the lights are burning
Film--the reels are turning
Well, Im a movie girl
I live in a groovy world
I'm moving through the scene of life and
I've got my part down
* All of my beautiful dreams
float by on the silvery screen
All of my beautiful dreams
All of my beautiful dreams
Oh--I got a close-up
somebody yell cut oh
I need my makeup oh yeah
somebody wake me up oh
Well, it's a mystery
how real this film can be
an over the rainbow sky
moving in slow motion before my very eyes
a photo opportunity
a dream or reality?
am I in the real world or
am I in a movie?
All of my beautiful
All of my beautiful dreams
They are on the silvery
They are on the silvery screen
All of my beautiful
All of my beautiful dreams
They are on the silvery
They are on the silvery screen, yeah

13. When I Ask You
Lyrics: Yuki
When I ask you peace comes to my mind
Even if we don't talk still there's something inside
How much farther can we go?
Can we still go on?
The color's changed to white
In my hand, in my heart
Your warm heart is always flowing
You are just everything I'm wishing for
Even if we are silent, even if we are apart
Take me somewhere like heaven
Together with you I'm flying in the blue sky
You make me wanna cry sometimes I don't know why
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
Fly, flying in the blue, blue sky
Please take my hand, I'm standing right here
Oh, Darling, darling you set me free, yeah
A whole lot a feeling, a whole lot a feeling
I found home way deep inside me
Together with you I'm flying in the blue sky
You make me wanna cry sometimes I don't know why
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
Let's go back to our sweet home
When I ask you peace comes to my mind
I want to feel this way forever
Together with you I'm flying in the blue sky
You make me wanna cry sometimes I don't know why
Together with you I'm flying in the blue sky
You make me wanna cry sometimes I don't know why
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
Together with you
Together with you
