Sea of Miracles

Original Title : Umi no Kiseki
Sung by: Sakamoto Ma'aya
Lyrics: Iwasato Yuuho
Composition/Arrangement: Kanno Youko

(Yeah yeah yea~~h, Hey hey he~y hey he~~y)

The dark night sky separates us
to lay bare our hearts as they call out to each other.
Cast off your useless trappings. Some things can only be seen
when you've lost everything. [1]

Oh wind, I will stand and face you!
I will go to the sea of anguish,
though bonds cut my chest,
and the crushing waves are endless.

(Yeah yeah yea~~h, Hey hey he~y hey he~~y)

What does everyone seek by fighting?
Does spilled blood cause flowers to bloom?
Until the precious tomorrow is in my hands...
Until the day we meet...

Oh wind, I will stand and face you!
I will go and head for the brilliance.
Embracing prayer to my heart,
I wander the seemingly dark future.

[Instrumental/Chanting] [2]

Oh wind, I am not afraid!
Love is the miracle I have found!
It's my joy to believe in you.
The storm blows so that we might realize [our] love.

Alive

By : RAIKO

Everyone makes mistakes at times
It's not something embarrassing
Don't waste these scars
Keep on going laughing, and it'll all be good

(RAP)
That's right, breathe in a silent breath
Look to the vast sky, jump in
Take a break once in a while when it rains
Let the wind take the destination
All the regrets you carry
Can't let these scars go to waste
Carve an emblem into your arm, lets go  as long as we love
That's right,  from here on is the Show Time

Ah Like the past that lives in this fading polaroid picture
Just like the days we hung out
We searched for a place so we can sit in the sun
We fought every day like this  The one step you gotta take for your desire
A real fight for yourself  Let's sing this song forever in this place

Everyone makes mistakes at times
It's not something embarrassing
Don't waste these scars
Keep on going laughing, and it'll all be good

(RAP)
Morning dawn tells you the beginning  Between the borders of dream and reality
What's Say until the day my voice dies away
keep on truckin' Another Day
All aboard ready to go  Develop a single road yeah
Soon flowers bloom along the way  And will spread its wing toward the future
Reality burdens real heavy but go for the top  Like a No Culture
A monkey can only be a monkey Oh
One can only be himself Yo
Before you worry about tomorrow with your head down
Be what you wanna be today
Rebirth,  today's a fine day  I've got nothing to worry for

Reality leans heavy on me
And it's torturing me
Nothing comes easy
I know that well enough

Everyone makes mistakes at times
It's not something embarrassing
Don't waste these scars
Keep on going laughing, and it'll all be good
With all the regrets I've gone through
I'll be a person with taste
Even turn sadness into a wind
Keep on going strong, and it'll all be good

(RAP)
That's right, breathe in a silent breath
Look to the vast sky, jump in
Take a break once in a while when it rains
Let the wind take the destination
All the regrets you carry
Can't let these scars go to waste
Carve an emblem into your arm, lets go  as long as we love
That's right,  from here on is the Show Time

Lost Words

Original Title : Nakushita Kotoba
By : No Regret Life

The things I hold in my hands are droplets of time
Softly I grasp them, forgotten memories, lost words

I remember them one by one
And though I felt like I understood all them
The words faded as soon as they got near me

An evening without an apparent answer
Flakes of warmth
Longing for something faraway
I live repeating these over and over

The things I hold in my hands are droplets of time
Softly I grasp them, forgotten memories, lost words

I want to grasp all of your thoughts before they cool
As "people", we still can't share that feeling

The meaning your words give
The feelings with no comparison
Emotions with no answer
If only we could communicate by meeting eye to eye

The things I hold in my hands are droplets of time
Softly I grasp them, forgotten memories, lost words

I'll keep these feelings in my heart

"I've lost them..."

Innocent World

Artist: Mr. Children
Title: Innocent World
Words: Sakurai Kazutoshi
Music: Sakurai Kazutoshi

We embraced each other with our backs turned to the darkening city.
Those days seize my heart.
When my thoughtless words hurt you. And then you were gone.
These days, this miserable man reflecting in the window
has become dear to me as well.

Ah in the way that I do, I hold onto the dream I refused to throwaway
and keep walking to the end is that all right, mr. myself ?

All the time my heart goes along easily and gently
with this melody overflowing in my chest.
I’ll climb the sunny slope, but before this, I’d like to meet you again
somewhere.

Recently even our dinner topics are spoiled by business,
if we look at everything from so many angles
then we lose sight of ourselves.

Through a series of intricate relationships,
I can make the accounts balance but,
Ah you are unaffected in your quiet little life,
sometimes it’s like you just let the wind decide your fate
Isn’t that right, oh Miss yourself ?

Being hit by a weary June rain.
remembering the season I was full of love I sing !
Somewhere along the way I had forgotten but
show me something like a smile
and my uncertain feelings will be liberated
to the other side of the rainbow.

In street corners that keep changing,
the fragments of dreams come to life.
Oh except now,
and then just as I am, tomorrow as well I intend to continue on
toward this far away light in my chest. Is that all right, mr. myself?

All the time the melody overflowing in my chest,
my kind and gentle heart aches.
before I climb the sunny slope
it would be nice if we could meet again somewhere

At that time I’ll be laughing, going to the other side of the rainbow.
Innocent World. eternally continuing innocent world.

Wind of Magic

Under this sky, the miracle of meeting you
For sure was decided a long time ago.

Yes, even in the nights I held my knee alone,
If we could look at each other like that, it would change into my strength.

In order to not let the fingertip I hold go,
Let's walk together forever the path that starts today.
Taking a ride in the time wind, let's cross the heaven,
Somewhere in the rainbow that leads to the door of the dreams.

Hey, do you remember our first and short kiss?
This frozen heart started to speed up.

I feel tomorrow we can be happy.
Let's being a trip holding our hands filled of love.

The wind gathers meetings, splits and unreachable feelings,
And take them kindly, it's a magic.

Now, I believe destiny exists.
Taking a ride in the time wind, let's cross the heaven,
Somewhere in the rainbow that leads to the door of the dreams.

Invisible Power

Everyone must have a dream--you do, and even I do
--although we are probably too busy to pursue it.

The Invisible Power is motivating me right now.
As long as you feel it, even future doesn't feel gloomy anymore.
"We'll be alright. Good luck, my friends."
I will never forget my dearly loved friends' words.

Just what kind of words was I REALLY trying to say?
No matter how much I regret, those days will not return.

The Unwavering Power is whispering to you right now:
"IT'S OK BABY." To live while loving someone is not scary at all.
How come my true feelings can never be conveyed
until after everything is over?

Everyone is tied to one another by the Invisible Power,
so it's no big deal
whether we stay close or become separated.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
you will always remain in my heart as you smile.

O Invisible Power! Shine!
You've got to be strong!
It's never too late!
I never say die!
O Unwavering Power! Fill inside me!
You've got be strong!
It's never too late!
I never say die!
O Invisible Power! Shine!
You've got to be strong!
It's never too late!
I never say die!

Robinson

Somehow the new season is full of painful days
I chased after you on my bike as you ran by the dry river bed
You carried a nostalgic record and an overblown episode
Over your tired shoulders and your frown was blinding

As if saying the same words at the same time
We created a world with this overflowing magic

A world only for us that no one can touch
So I’ll never let your hand go
If by some great power we floated into the sky
Lu la la, then we’d ride the winds of the cosmos

Even an abandoned cat surviving in a corner resembles you a little
I pick her up and she grudgingly rubs her face on my cheek
The round window I looked up to at the usual intersection
Was slightly dirty as the nigh crescent moon looked back at me

I ambushed you in my dreams, your eyes were full of surprise
And now we will be reborn here

A world only for us that no one can touch
We’ll spread the endless song
If by some great power we floated into the sky
Lu la la, then we’d ride the winds of the cosmos

If by some great power we floated into the sky
Lu la la, then we’d ride the winds of the cosmos
Lu la la, then we’d ride the winds of the cosmos
