Lyric Time!
Artist: Chara
Title: 70% Yuugure no Uta (70% Sunset Song)
Words: Chara
Music: Watanabe Zentaro
You make everything fun. You're always pushy like that.
At the end of the page I've opened,
I want to think "I'll wait for you in the distant space"
Is it cold rain ? Is it gentle rain ?
Is my body something that will take in the sadness, melt,
and flow away.
Will I lose even my heart ?
Even my heart ?
That invisible love.
Did I believe that I'd be reborn ?
I wonder if I wanted to believe ?
Is this the beginning ? Is this the end ?
How's this tale going to finish ?
Is it cold rain ? Is it gentle rain ?
Can the bird that brings the sunset fly when he is still wet ?
I wonder if it can't sing from its heart ?
I can't hear it...
It still has the sky but...
My wish is to play in tomorrow's dream
My wish is to make my sadness a song in my heart.
Is it cold rain ? Is it gentle rain ?
Can the bird that brings the sunset fly when he is still wet ?
I wonder if it can't sing from its heart ?
I can't sing.
My wish can someday reach to the sleeping sand castle.

Title: Sen no Yoru to Sen no Hiru (A Thousand Days and A Thousand Nights)
Words: Ueda Gen
Music: Ueda Gen
Even if you continue your search
for your lost wings, they're nowhere to be found.
And even if you bring time to a stand still,
you see, the stars still move.
Your words, prayers, balloons and bouquets, none of it reaches.
Through a thousand days and a thousand nights,
the dream crossing the Milky Way flowing with light
is left behind, buried in the plants.
What do you see from atop the crumbling tower...
I wish you'd smile at me.
Look, I've prepared all these things.
I thought I could give them back to that sky
I've thought of many things.
To the forest beyond the forest
To the sea beyond the sea
We go out we gather, we gather we pray
Pray and decorate, search and wish upon...
The last thing I gave was a silver umbrella
which showed the blue of the sea.
Now, opening the umbrella in your right hand,
you take the wind and float away.
Through a thousand days and a thousand nights
crossing the Milky Way flowing with light.
Through a thousand days and a thousand nights.

Title: Monokuro ni Natta Saigo no Hi (The Last Day When Everything Went Monochrome)
Words: D'espairs Ray+
Music: D'espairs Ray+
When did I start to forget the pain,
and let my heart degenerate into ugliness,
and wither completely.
I was always afraid it would break
thinking if I touched it,
it'd fall to pieces.
I learned what hurt and pain meant
when I met you.
I felt like something inside me was changing.
burn my body with feelings that spring without end
trust me, the one who wanted only you
these resolute feelings haven't changed
they're locked in my heart where they quietly sleep.
your wamrth, a room without you,...
this blank in time that feels so very long
silence my voice, a sigh escapes
softly becoming tangled up,
I believed that the time we warmed each other
would go on forever.
the memories that stain the body, long for you
put upon by the urging of my lust.
this body can't forget you, it hurts so, it's breaking.
dare to... wrap your hands around my throat
until this feeling right before me... goes white.
because I'll always live on...
in the season the powder snow falls, and the memory

Title: Angel's Aong ~ Eve no Kane (Christmas Eve Bells)
Words: Kawase Tomoko
Music: Okuda Shunsaku
The fog that crosses the sky, the bells ring out
to my lover in that far off gentle sky called night.
tonight my sighs are trapped in snow
I wanna touch that blessed hand that pulls the chain of roses.
the angel song... whispering in my ears
the singing of the angels, its like it melts the sky.
it hurts, for you
everytime I look to the sky, I think of the winter wonderland.
"I can't forget"
My winged letter, I'll leave it all with you.
The red moon and christmas eve bells in the cold night sky.
the angel song... I want to see you
I looked up to the sky
the wings you gave me, the memories are beautiful in the windowpane
but it's finally melting now, so while its still snow
hurry up and grab me, I want you to hold me... yeah
letting an unknown number of memories flow.... ***
whispering in my ears
the angel's singing warms my heart
in this blue white snowy sky
the bells bringing christmas resound.
be here under the sacred stars
it hurts to look up to the sky
I remember the snowy scene you showed me one day
I won't forget
"I won't forget...*Heart*"

Title: Daisy Chainsaw
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Your voice I hear through the phone at midnight is the same as usual but,
something sounds off.
I didn't want you to notice, so I looked for the words to keep us together
I ask you if something happened today but
there was really only one thing I wanted to hear,
am I still in your heart?
my feelings for you just grew deeper.
Since I don't know if you'll be by my side in the morning,
I want to hold you firmly now while we're together.
sucking on a cigarette in front of me, you laugh "it's not so bad being alone"
But I knew that underneath those bold fronts
there were nights you couldn't make it through.
you'll never be mine.
even if I tie you down to my will, it only shows how meaningless it is
I'll keep here a world without you in it,
because I want to meet you with strong and pure feelings.
Come to me, with that same loving feeling, until you lose it
I want to draw a rainnbow that will fade away
is there nothing that connects us now?
come to me, I want to feel you and love you more

Title: Purasuchikku Ruumu to Ame no Niwa (Plastic Room and The Rainy Garden)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
I believed everything I saw.
Not even considering that some things were broken.
but that truth, that was merely "for show",
inside of it, somethings were already broken.
say, did the earth really wish me to be born?
don't be so kind to me, I'm not really used to being loved by someone.
but even though I say that, I want to be loved more strongly than anyone else.
Always, somewhere in my heart I'm cold,
there's this weak me, that refuses kindness.
but still, I'm afraid people will stop paying attention to me,
so I latched on to the love they give.
Say, do I have the right to be touched by your warmth?
I saw myself, tired of living, unable to see anything around me,
but, I want to see the happy faces of someone,
I want to feel my life is worth something.
That night I had a dream that I became a big bird and flew away
that person riding my back, and that person laughing....
that made me inexplicably happy.
the shapes I see are broken but, I'll make something unbreakable.
on nights I feel l'm going to break down I think of you.
I wish for you here, now with me.
In the end "you" and "I" will be alone but,
I know about those nights you can't sleep...
so on the nights I felt I would breakdown
I remember that there's someone else writihing out there

Title: Light of Sorrow
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
I'm afraid with no place to go someday you'll disappear.
If you can't find anything else,
why not live for me
so, now hold me hold me strongly
because this body has no meaning
just wrap me in your warmth
that face you showed me suddenly,
what did you lose? are you now smiling?
you don't have to say anything else
just having you by my side is enough
so, I want to hold you strongly
because I don't need there to be any value in it.
If only your hollowness could be filled just by my blood.
you know, one day if you die
I'll take your corpse to my chest
and forever my love, I'll pet your hair
I'll touch your cheek, and then I'll eat you up.
so, now I want to hold you tightly
your smile, your emptiness, your tears
I'd like to have you in my arms,
your chest quivering as your breathing grows sparse.
so now hold me, hold me strongly
if this body has any meaning
I will hurt and love the certainty
deep in my heart, only with you.

Title: Lily
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Why do you laugh with such desperate eyes.
Why are the lonely nights so long?
the touch of your fingertip now so far away,
What are you looking at now?
I've already forgotten about that day.
The night wind lightly caresses my skin,
in that room, in your soft arms
I thought this would be the end.
let me touch you,
Those fragile eyes so gentle
what is it they hurt everytime they tried to protect
I don't know if things will be the same tomorrow
so remember today.
No matter how dear you are to me,
we can never be one, I'm being torn to shreds by the irritation
even if I bury my face in your warm chest,
I know no answer lies ahead.
the summer we walked together a little drunk, on the evening path
our shoulders touch, cooly
eventhough I'd rather disappear just like this.
close my eyes,
I wish I could just forget you
all that's important now is the dearness of of our skin tight against one another
if when the night ends that back will be that of a stranger's
I don't care if tomorrow ever...
we are streaming together
with the field of grass in the scented winds of June
surely you'll forget the way you gently touched my hair,
the way you looked at me.
tell me, why does the scenery keep changing?
eventhough you looked at me with such a gentle gaze,
if I were a flower that blossoms and falls only within you
would I never have noticed the gentle lie?
when I awake will you be gone?
if you leave me I'm scared we'll never see each other again
if only those far off summer days we spent together
could hold you when you're lonely

Title: Afterglow
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Who are those innocent eyes waiting for?
How many times have you overcome this unreachable pain?
I have no reservations about wrapping
the fragility that was too strong, worn out and slumbering,
in my dirty hands.
I'll let you go into a space where you'll be free
because you belong to no one.
love that heart for me.
you should have
betrayal and cunning, all of it.
don't blame yourself anymore,
there's no crime in feeling.
we should wrap the ones we love in our liberated hearts
I'll let you go into a bountiful space
you should live on without looking back.
I'll love you from the space where I'm free
and I'll forget all about you
from you I will be purified
I'll let you go into space
and love you, from my space.
Translator's Notes: This song was hard to translate because the kanji Mikami chose for sora is the same one she used in the first album chuu which means space. Though the image of letting a bird go into the "sky" doesn't seem that far off. Anyway this song is probably best appreciated if you know enough Japanese to get the gist of the words. Mikami is saying that throughout this album that no matter how much you love someone, they are still a stranger to you, because you are not them. The conclusion seems to be that the only thing we can do is to let each other go and respect the difference. The final line, "love you, from my space" seems to say that "though I can't have you in my mind/heart (same thing in Japanese), I can still love you from my mind/heart". There's a sadness in this song though. A withdrawal. A resignation. Like the end of a faery tale. The reality of loving someone in this way somehow hurts more than not loving at all. I admit I cried when I was listening to this song maybe a week after I'd gotten the album. Yet in a way it's a song of independence. The girl who throughout the entire album has been neurotic about losing her love, suddenly realizes that maybe it was never hers to lose. Maybe she needs to focus on herself.

Title: Kirameyuku Mono (Something that Sparkles and Fades)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
I watched the stars fading out, it made me want to hear your voice.
Even though I just want to hurry up and forget you already...
Everytime I touched your gentle arms and back, I thought about
that day when we would be seperated far apart.
I suddenly come to a stop after going through the ticket gate
the wave of colors flowing by is so extraordinary
I'm empty, not knowing whether I'm alive or not,
I wish to be rid of this person who's existence means nothing
.
Was I made entirely of lies when I loved you?
even though after I met you, the days began to shine
the warmth of that time your hand was in mine,
and the firmness of those arms I held tightly
vanished in the past.
I passed by you going through the summer park at dusk,
you were smiling with someone I didn't know.
now we're living seperate lives, and have begun to walk seperate paths
I want the strength to wish you happiness.
No matter how dear you are to me, I can't be you.
I couldn't take it, I was about to go insane.
Even though I should have known that there would come a day
when I wouldn't be touched by your kindess, warmth, and weakness
Have these eyes seen something fleeting and breakable?
The day I lost you, I couldn't go on singing anymore.
How do I cross this sea of night's I'll spend by myself, which will strike
at my heart over and over again from now on?
in a place full of unease without any maps, I cry my eyes out.
If where I'm standing now becomes a 'path'
I guess I can start from here.
When I loved you, you were made entirely of you.
What I came close to losing was "myself"
I expect that the pain will one day turn into the kindness to consider you.
Now... time to live my own life.
smash my heart, shine upon you with the light that shoots out
I'll meet myself.
I'll love both the world which sparkles and fades and the pain in my heart
living together with them.

Title: Obura-to de Tsutsunda Mizu Mitai na Kimi ni (To You Like Water Wrapped in a Medical Wafer)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Why are you always on the verge of a breakdown
Looking at you makes me wanna cry.
You're a flower shaking in my heart.
Always here for me.
Tell me, to what extent are people "alone"?
even though there are a disgustingly large number of people out there,
I've kept looking for you, who I can be "together" with.
if there are times we can't walk, let's take a rest.
and let the wind through the plains blow on us,
we can stay here on days we don't do anything in particular,
and take back our lost selves.
Did you shoulder the burden of such a great weight all by yourself?
were you always standing with legs that look like they might give out at any minute?
Come on, I wanna know more about you.
I want to hold you strongly.
I'll be by your side whenever you need me.
You don't have to be afraid.
Everyone has "a past" and "mistakes" in their heart.
I didn't believe in people,
Betrayed them before they could betray me.
but everytime I did, what I lost was my own heart.
but is true strength to believe in myself who can believe in you...?
I stand alone to say to you, "don't worry, I'm sure of you."
I stand alone to say to you, "don't worry, you may trust me"
I stand alone to say to you, "I can't stand without you"
I love you, imperfect smile and all

Title: Dasanai Tegami (Letter Unsent)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
I sat alone in the park where spring danced lightly in the wind,
and I was thinking,
just by you being here,
the scenery becomes solid, and yet fleeting.
Even if I can't see you,
I'm always here.
The reason this wind hurts so gently
is because you're "alive" in it
the buds of the roses blooming in the garden
can almost reach the sky's blue.
I hated the fragments of that day
but now I feel I can let go of them.
I learned the loneliness of loving by meeting you.
no matter how the night tore us from one another
the bonds of our "connection" (couldn't be broken)
Why does the wind caress my cheek
eventhough you're no longer here?
no matter how full of light the road is
without you it...
Why am I here,
eventhough you're no longer here?
no matter how lovingly the flower shakes in the wind
without you... it has no meaning

Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Swept along the darkening street, I walk
my tired body with no where in mind to go.
I guess there's nothing I have to do,
just look for a love that's not enough.
hurt, betrayal, but I believed in it.
If I were to die here tomorrow
nothing would be different
I'd still just wanna hold you to my chest, darling.
I got used to being alone
I was just looking so hard for "myself"
but without you in here, it was the same as there being nothing there at all.
Yes, you are my one true love,
so stay with me till we die.
everytime I meet you, the loneliness gets worse.
Because tomorrow "you"'ll be gone
I want to hold you tightly now.
because I met you, all my "pasts" have meaning.
the severity, the lacking everything
eventhough its all for you
eventhough I put them together, will they disappear...?
tell me,
will you be with me tomorrow?

Title: 13th Leaf
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: ???
why is it that happiness
puts me on the verge of tears?
there you are
through the soft steam rising from dinner
tell me, will there come a day
when you won't open those pretty eyelids anymore?
I wonder how much we can do together *1
before that day comes.
stop saying that someday you'll be gone
because it makes my heart ache
for now, all I want is to take you, with me here and now,
in my arms and go to sleep.
Translator's Notes: Pretty. This is the hidden track on 13 Leaves. I've never heard it named before but since there is no official word on what it's called and it is the 13th track I named it The 13th Leaf.
