01. 約束
作詩：浅利進吾
作曲：加藤裕介
編曲：家原正樹、加藤裕介
コーラスアレンジ：高橋哲也

まだ、誰も知らない
揺らぐ心の行き先
君の髪をそっと撫でる
何かを確かめたくて

心　（大事だと）
映し出す　（想うほど）
鏡を　（真実は）
覗けば　（遠ざかる）
愛しい姿が消えてく

僕ら愛を重ね合って
約束を交わした
他の誰も踏み込めない
二人だけの場所で
だけど君は綺麗になる
僕のいない場所で

僕はなぜか　目を閉じて
気付かないフリをした
・・・痛むから

まだ、誰も知らない
この迷いの向かう先
長い睫　瞬きして
その瞳　誰を見るの

声を　（何気ない）
聞いたくて　（相槌も）
君の名　（他愛無い）
を呼ぶよ　（会話でも）
近くにいるような気がして

僕ら愛を重ね合って
約束を交わした
他の誰も踏み込めない
二人だけの場所で
だけど僕が微笑むたび
愛を囁くたび
君はなぜか　目を閉じて
息を飲み込んだのは
・・・痛むから？

化粧を落とす鏡越し
視線が教えていた
こころのゆくえ
知る事は
全てを失う事なんだと

僕ら愛を重ね合って
約束を交わした
他の誰も踏み込めない
二人だけの場所で
だけど君は綺麗になる
僕のいない場所で
僕は今日も目を閉じて
気付かないフリをする
・・・痛むから

English translation:
Lyrics: Asari Shingo
Music: Kato Yusuke
Arrangement: Iehara Masaki, Kato Yusuke
Chorus arrangement: Takahashi Tetsuya

Still, nobody knows
The destination of (your) wavering heart
I lightly stroke your hair
Wanting to ascertain something

[剛] If I look into the mirror that represents your heart
[光一] As important as I think it is, the truth is far from that
My beloved is disappearing

We built up our love
And exchanged promises
(That) Nobody else can come into
Our very own place
But you become lovely
When I’m not around

Somehow I closed my eyes
Pretending not to notice
… because it hurts

Still, nobody knows
The direction of this hesitance
Your long eyelashes fluttering
Who do those eyes see?

[剛] Wanting to hear your voice, I call your name
[光一] In your casual responses, in your trivial conversations
It feels like you’re near

We built up our love
And exchanged promises
(That) Nobody else can come into
Our very own place
But each time I smile
Each time love whispers
Somehow you closed your eyes
And gasped
… from pain?

Taking off your makeup, looking beyond the mirror
I saw it in your eyes
To know where your heart is
Is to lose everything

We built up our love
And exchanged promises
(That) Nobody else can come into
Our very own place
But you become lovely
When I’m not around

Even know I close my eyes
Pretending not to know
… because it hurts

[hidamari]

02. ユメハジメハナ
作詩：前田たかひろ
作曲：林田健司
編曲：佐久間 誠

君はためらうツボミ
抱きしめれば震える
ごめんねと震えてる

恋する心のままで
夢見るのは罪じゃない
傷をおそれ心いつわる方が
罪深いさ

めぐり逢って
求め合い　今日そして別れるけど
運命は始まっている

色づく君は　ユメハジメハナ
今はこの手はなそう
僕のために無理して微笑む
君が恋しい

笑わなくていい　泣かなくていい
昨日とおなじサヨナラ
咲こうとする花は迷わない
永遠の別れじゃない

紅く染まりきる前の
花びらのグラデーション
冷えた空気吸い込んだたび君が
遠くなる

夢見ると
なにかひとつ失くすと言うけれど
僕がぜんぶ守ってあげる

ナミダで開く　ユメハジメハナ
君の胸濡らすけど
季節はすぐひとまわりをして
春が来るから

ときめきながら　途惑いながら
歩き続けたらいい
明日へ向く潤んだ瞳に
遥かな君も映る

夢を見るのも　あきらめるのも
心は悲鳴をあげる
その叫びを僕がのがさずに
聞いているから

色づく花は　ユメハジメハナ
今はこの手はなそう
咲こうとする君は迷わない
永遠の別れじゃない

English translation:
Lyrics: Maeda Takahiro
Music: Hayashida Kenji
Arrangement: Sakuma Makoto

You’re a hesitant flower bud
If I embrace you, you’ll tremble
(Saying) “I’m sorry”, trembling

With a loving heart
Dreaming is not a sin
A heart that lies for fear of (being) hurt
Is the worse offense

Meeting by chance
Seeking each other - Today, although we’ll part
Destiny has already begun

The maturing you is the flower that starts (my) dream
Now you’re moving away from this hand (of mine)
Forcing a smile for my sake
I miss you

Don’t have to laugh, don’t have to cry
(It’s) the same goodbye as yesterday
A flower that’s about to bloom doesn’t hesitate
It’s not an eternal farewell

Gradation of a flower petal
Just before it completely turns red
Each time I inhale the cold air deeply
You become far away

Although you may lose something by dreaming
I’ll protect everything (for you)

Opening by tears, the flower that starts (my) dream
Though it wets your bosom
The seasons will soon complete one turn
As spring is coming

While your heart throbs, feeling lost
It’ll be fine as long as you keep walking
In the moistened eyes that face tomorrow
The distant you will be reflected

Either dreaming or giving up
Your heart cries out
I hear it all

The maturing flower is the flower that starts (my) dream
Now you’re moving away from this hand (of mine)
The you that’s about to bloom doesn’t hesitate
It’s not an eternal farewell

[hidamari]

03. 旅立ちの日
作詩：Satomi
作曲：松本良喜
編曲：CHOKKAKU

桜の蕾が
そっと膨らむ頃
夢抱き翔ゆく
弥生の美空へ

冬の寒さに堪えながら
旅立つ春を待ちわびた
別れが来ることに
目を伏せ
思い出を
綴りながら

卒業は終わりじゃなく
まだ見ぬ未来
探す為の旅立ちの日
寂寞の思い
胸に　さめざめと・・・
君よ
いつの日にか
逢いましょう

夢は見るものじゃなくて
叶えるもの・・・
嘘偽りなき
君からの言葉

孤独に潰されそうな夜は
川面で流れ咲く桜に
震え泣いた
君を思えば
頑張れる
気がするんだ

霞みゆく春の風に
別々の道
選ぶ刻が旅立ちの日
惜別の言葉
胸に　さんざめく・・・
いつか
またこの場所で
逢いましょう

かけがえのない思い出と
何気ない言葉を
心と云う　鞄に僕は
無造作に詰め込みゆくよ

移りゆく春のなかで
もう還らない
蒼き刻は旅立ちの日
隻影の桜
空に　潸々と・・・
君に
贈る言葉
ありがとう

卒業は終わりじゃなく
まだ見ぬ未来
探す為の旅立ちの日
寂寞の思い
胸に　さめざめと・・・
君よ
いつの日にか　ここで
逢いましょう

English translation:
Lyrics: Satomi
Music: Matsumoto Ryouki
Arrangement: CHOKKAKU

Around the time when the buds on cherry trees slowly swell
Hugging a dream, soaring
Towards the beautiful early spring* sky

Though winter’s cold endures
The long-awaited spring has come
Averting my eyes from the impending separation
While I file away memories

Graduation is not the end
It’s the day we start (the journey)
To search for the yet-unseen future
Thoughts of loneliness
In my heart, silently crying…
Let’s meet again
Someday

A dream is not something to be seen
It’s something to achieve…
These words from you
How true they are

On a night when I feel as if crushed by solitude
I cried, trembling,
Onto the cherry blossoms reflected on the flowing river
Thinking of you
Makes me feel I can be strong and do my best

In the misty spring wind
The day we each choose our own way
Is the start of our journey
Our reluctant parting words
In our hearts, ringing
Someday
Let’s meet again in this place

Irreplaceable memories and
Casual words
I simply stuff them all
Into this bag called “heart”

As spring moves along
No turning back
While we’re still young it’s the time to start our journeys
Cherry blossoms
Fluttering in the sky
The words that I’ll send you off with
Are “thank you”

Graduation is not the end
It’s the day we start (the journey)
To search for the yet-unseen future
Thoughts of loneliness
In my heart, silently crying…
Let’s meet again here
Someday


* Note: yayoi means the 3rd month in the (now no longer used) lunar calendar; corresponding to end March / early April period

03. Loving
作詩・作曲：木下智哉
編曲：石塚知生




目覚めた朝　　　側にいた君はもういない
暗い部屋の中で　きつく両腕を抱きしめていたのは
淡いぬくもりを忘れてゆくことに　　　怯えていたから

わかりあえない日々と　傷つけ合う日々
大切なモノを信じ抜くこと　それさえもできずに
優しさはすべて　すれ違い　苦しめた

どんあ愛しても　求めても　君の元へは届かない
何も言わないで伝わることなど一つもないから
いま素直に言えるよ　　Loving you



許し合えない日々と　背を向け合う日々
大切な言葉　口にするだけで 嘘になる気がして
愛しさはすべて　詰め込んで　隠していた


どんなに愛しても　　悔やんでも　君の代わりはいやしない
まだ瞳(め)を閉じれば　　思い出す、あの日あの瞬間(とき)の横顔
言えないまま、ごめんよ　Loving you



Loving you...



どんなに愛しても　求めても 二人、あの日へ帰れない
何も消せないで　　溢れてる　君の　欠片抱きしめて
いま素直に言えるよ　　Loving you



Romanization:

Mezameta asa soba ni ita kimi ha mou inai
Kurai heya no naka de kitsuku　ryouude wo dakishimetei　tano ha
Awai nuku mori wo wasurete yuku koto ni obiete ita kara


Wakari aenai hibi to kizutsuke au hibi
Taisetsuna mono wo shinji nuku koto sore sae mo de kizuni
Yasashisa ha subete sure chigai kurushimeta


Donnani aishi temo moto mete mo kimi no moto e ha tonokanai
Nanimo iwanaide tsutawaru koto nado hitotsu mo nai kara
Ima sunao ni ieru yo Loving you


Yurushi aenai hibi to se wo muke au hibi
Taisetsuna kotoba kuchi ni suru dakede uso ni naru ki gashite
Itoshiisa ha subete tsume konde kakushiteita


Donnani aishitemo kuyan demo kimi no kawari ha iyashinai
Mada me wo toji reba omoi dasu ano hi ano toki no yokogao
Ienai mama gomen yo Loving you


Loving you . . .


Donnani aishitemo moto mete mo futari ano hi e kaerenai
Nanimo kesenai de afureteru kimi no kakera dakishimete
Ima sunao ni ieru yo Loving you


(I listened to this several times while looking at the lyrics and following along with my dictionary. Sometimes KinKi mumble a bit and/or sing a bit fast in some parts. So please forgive me for any errors.)

[hidamari]

thanks, duotiger, for the lyrics

It's more difficult to translate than the other songs..
Here's my take on it -- sorry if it sounds awkward:

Lyrics & music: Kinoshita Tomoya
Arrangement: Ishidzuka Tomoki

In the morning when I woke up you’re no longer beside me
Holding myself tightly in the middle of the dark room,
Because I feared that I might forget the fleeting warmth

The times when we can’t understand each other, times when we hurt each other
Couldn’t even believe till the end that (our love) is a precious thing
Causing us to misunderstand every (act of) tenderness

No matter how I love nor plead, it won’t reach you
Not saying anything, because there’s nothing left to convey
Now I can gently say it Loving you

The times when we can’t forgive each other, when we don’t (even) see each other
Even just saying something was construed as lie
I hid all my feelings inside

However I love, however I regret it, no one can take your place
Even now, when I close my eyes I still recall that day, that moment, that profile
Couldn’t bring myself to say sorry Loving you

Loving you…

However badly I want it, we can’t go back to that day
Leaving everything as it is, holding all memories of you tightly
Now I can gently say it Loving you

[duotiger51]

Thank you for translating for us, Hidamari!
I agree though that this song was difficult to listen to too. I've never noticed them to mumble through lyrics as often as I noticed in this song. I was confused so often.

[botanbutton]

Wow, thanks for all this! I can enjoy the music a bit more~
