By Myself

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi with TK
Music: Komuro Tetsuya

Why am I crying over these pointless things again ?
It gets so pathetic, I feel all alone.
Were I to peek out at the city, I bet I could see the answer.
The passing of time is mercilessly selfish.

Just jumping into the night
makes me forget my shining
What am I confused over ?
In this far off place I notice
that I won't be satisfied by just exciting things.
my hopes will be someday
untarnished beautiful secret wishes will come true.

cowardly darling apt to dream...uh honey.
the only one in the world
Inside my heart a battle ocurring
the moment you push on my back,
there's something I should be doing with my lips
without enduring.

Look! That dewdrop of freedom
someday it will drip down
my body will begin to burn
bringing a sleepless night
a happy life exposed
right now, reborn.
and then a kiss, a burning heart
and a curtain falls on an unnecessary past.

My heart fiercely burning shakes.
untarnished beautiful, my secret thought just one.

Translated by: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: "an exposed happy life" refers not to real happiness but assumed happiness, when hitomi says that her life is reborn, she means that once exposed she realized she wasn't happy and affected a change. This is her description of freedom.

Ele Pop
Lyrics: hitomi
English translation by: cori

*In order to wake my dream
on the other side of the 7 color rainbow
Starving for your love, I overcome the night
A kiss thrown to the passionate future

If I casually trace the indirect love letter
written with the alphabet with my finger, my heart will transform
I was flying in the sky, I'm sure that wasn't a dream
Let's dance in a trance, that child is an angel, a devil

I wonder what a chemical reaction can do
It's too new, I don't understand the reason
A plastic, panorama world
Where will you go towards from now?
Baby baby baby...

A girl standing on tiptoes, within you, it's an OK sign
I played tamely; it's stress & violence
I fly in the sky; the modern convenience is a continuation
My heart goes on its own, where is that child from?

In order to wake my dream
that is on the other side of the distant sky
If it's an outlaw, I will go without being scared
Hold onto the dream that doesn't stop

The other side of the distant sky
A plastic, panorama world

* repeat
Baby baby baby...

Flow

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Suzuki Akinori

the girl passing by me,
softly smiles innocently
here I am, cunning and cowardly
this little thing searching
for a love suitable for one like me.
lost in my own heart

how far does this feeling reaching higher and higher go?

I'm going to expose myself to the wind,
until I can wash away the things I spoiled.
And surely then it'll come true,
I'll find your smile again in a different place.

things are so messed up, I don't know what's goin' on anymore
Be gone! Oh look what I went and said. *1
This world's not going to go away
that's why I'm searching for a sweet love today.
sweet sweet like candy.

I wonder if I'll hold the warmth that's there without indulging myself.
I wonder if I can take back that which I've lost,
that which I should never have lost.
If I could somehow turn this pain into joy,
I'd right now, accept anything.

Something sleeping deep deep in the ocean,
is now coming back to life.

In this world there're too many things I don't know
until I find them I'll expose myself to the flow
someday I need to be tender of heart
then in a different place with you.

Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: The flow of this song comes from the idea that there's something flowing by us at all times that we normally don't face. But we should. On to the *'s.

*1 - nante ne used like this is a kind of girlish way to point out something silly or striking that you said. It sounds a little playful.

GO TO THE TOP

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi, TK
Music: Komuro Tetsuya

I know now what it is,
that I mustn't lose.
if things always go well, it only makes it hard
no one try to stop me,
straight on, let's go to the top!

I still now remember the way I cried when I was little
I was the worst at being alone
but it wasn't like I wanted to be alone,
so I learned to be nice to others
in front of my friends, I was the most cheerful but La La La...

the smell of the wind from those days,
what country has it gone to by now?

I know now what it is,
that I mustn't lose.
if things always go well, it only makes it hard
no one will help me
straight on, let's go to the top!

I'm used to being free, I don't mind if the waves make me veer
a past all in quotation marks jumps out
now in my heart, I hide my secret chance,
I wanted to get farther ahead than anyone,
I tried feeling envious of others
but I couldn't make a miracle happen La La La...

tell me, the person I was then,
where is she off running now?

I know now what it is,
that I mustn't lose.
I don't care if I go too far,
no one can stop me,
in due time, let's go to the top!

I know now what it is,
that I mustn't lose.
if things always go well, it only makes it hard
no one try to stop me,
straight on, let's go to the top!

Hikari

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Owata Hideyuki

I sleep dreaming of a future
in which the blooming flowers of hope stream in the wind.
The melody lives in this sky

Days when I lose the words, suffer setbacks
I shoot for the light ahead,
and since you're with me.

Questioning love, and the worth of my own existence
now deep in my heart, without shutting the door
the meaning is clear, shows me the way
and I go on.

A new light projects us
so let's reach out towards the dream
even if nothing lasts forever
we'll keep on

when I try to fit the mold again, I end up sticking out
we're held back by the words "be yourself"
because we've lost sight of who we are.

the seasons flying in the wind, someone's gentle laughter
our everyday lives
even if there is no answer, if you're with me, it's all I need.
I want to remember that one simple thing.

a warm light envelops me
so I get to thinking 'I might start'
the dream I dreamed with you, everything we envisioned
let's go looking for it.

even on overcast days
even if you lose sight of your dreams
softly smile
and let's go on ahead

a warm light envelops us,
so we get to thinking 'we might start'
a new light projects us, so let's go together
the dream I dreamed with you, everything we envisioned
let's go looking for it.

in the light...

I am

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Kitano Masato

Let's search, picking up the pieces of the dream
even if it hurts, now's our chance , we'll be able to find them.
let's make everyday more spectacular.
even if it hurts, let's feel this reliable moment.

I'm more simple than I appear to be, but I can't tell you how I feel
What I want to say, I always keep in my pocket.

It's too late now to say such childish things,
They say time solves all problems, but we can't understand each other.

I believe in you 24 hours a day
I'm watching you.
Even if these words seems a little too common place
time always runs away laughing at us
Rather than memories, let's find the moment we've been wanting.

Nothing starts if you don't make a move, Once you begin to worry you can't stop
I don't wanna cling to a dream I had just one night.

I leave my girlish wishes behind just the way they are,
Love is everything, the age of "us" begins from here.

the image of us flying like a bird cutting through the big sky has begun to move.
let's get going, the road continues on into the distance but
one day the diamond will begin to shine.

Inner Child

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Suzuki Akinori

Now I'll throw away this image, and call awake my real self
awash in a warm wind, I could fly away.
I've grown up, and what did I get in exchange for that
The promise with you is here.

I can't tell you to hold my hand, tomorrow's too far away,
what interrupts my heart is always causing me trouble.

It'd be better if I could think of things in a simpler way but,
even if I take the roundabout approach, if i notice something
different, I'll start walking toward it.

Keep your smile forever just like that, envision in your heart,
feel the sun, follow the light shining through the darkness.
going through this tunnel, I wanna know the otherside of the world
I see. With courage, Let's take a step out of bounds.

Now I can't wipe sadness from a past which passes me by,
so I try to think that in the future something will be bright.

You always make me forget the little things with your jokes
I'm hesitating but you eased me with your smile
like a sunrise on the seas.

Somewhere in this heart of mine, I'll keep holding these pure
feelings.
I want us to rely on each other forever.

Now I'll throw away this image, and call awake my real self
awash in a warm wind, I could fly away.
I've grown up, and what did I get in exchange for that
The promise with you is here.

Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: The word "sunao" sometimes creates trouble for us, it means "honest, obedient, true, pure, mild etc..." In this case it had the connotation of "the purity of childhood" so we translated it as pure. That may not be the best way but it does get across the message of the song better than any of the other ways

Innocence

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Kitano Masato

counting the times as I walk, going forward in terror
the wind blowing on me is strong.
I'm looking for something in the world ahead of me.
but I can't find it, so I come to a stop.

beyond that sky continuing far into the distance, people who pity war.
the children who are sad day in and day out.
everyday changes the color of its face, tilting its head laughing
holding its little worries.

no matter how I decieve myself, no matter how I much I doubt,
there's nothing reflected there.

What I'm really looking for is a wish that's not just a lie,
and an unfathomable feeling.

"you need never change" "just be yourself"
this wish for peace of mind, right next to me.
If the warmth you gave me is still here with me,
I'll believe here and now that it has the power to change to kindness.

We'll be able to reborn.
once the sadness shoots through our hearts,
the direction of the wind will change.
When we feel the warmth pushing at our backs gently
I wonder if we can be stronger?
Our dreams are limitless.

No matter how I put up fronts, no matter how I struggle
The power I have now doesn't cut it,
The mirror which reflects my heart is you in front of me,
if you understand this now, we can make it.

We knock on this door called tomorrow which shakes me all too familiarly.
and then we get confused again, and surely we take to walking again.
if we start to lose our kindness, and hurt others,
we must try to remember the innocence in our hearts,
and the dreams we had as children,
then surely our passion will return to us.

Is It You?

Artist: Hitomi
Words: Hitomi
Music: Morimoto Kensuke

Time is fickle, what are the the stars floating in the night sky trying to tell me,
what kind of destiny do they have in store for me?
I dream what's in my heart
I wished on a shooting star for that one thing, just that one thing.

The moment I believed it was you,
a strong wind raged.
suddenly i found myself healed, and my doubts were gone
the road that goes on to the future I searched for,
If I'm with you, I think I can go
surely you're the key that opens the door.

new moon in the rain, that sky is crying
there is no consolation, waiting for the passing of time
I'm looking for the words to say to you,.
I want to leave an image deeper deeper in your heart.

Because I can be strong, because I want it
No matter what happens, I won't give up on the complicated today.
The road we chose knowing how we felt about each other,
If I'm with you I'll walk it.
the new world starting from this place

kiss me like you're whistling
let's be just like we were that day
looking for the hiding place only we know.
just like this never changing.

The moment I believed it was you,
a strong wind raged.
suddenly i found myself healed, and my doubts were gone
the road that goes on to the future I searched for,
If I'm with you, I think I can go
surely you're the key that opens the door.

I knew it was you.

CRA"G"Y MAMA

Words: Hitomi
Music: Avant Garde

CRA"G"Y MAMA sheltering an unfulfilled wish again today,
lost in fantasy
CRA"G"Y MAMA looking at the number
you can't bring yourself to dial
dance in your dreams.
bound by your morals, you scorn reality,
screaming at your past
afraid to be alone, you make up all these lies

you need to fantasize about over the top sexual encounters,
there's distance between us.
that forbidden pleasure draws the eyes of the security guard.

I dont want performance, it's gotta be real Woo Yeah!
I want to be loved
being the good girl all the time, just isn't sexy.
take the age by the hand and dance away
I don't want half, it's gotta be real Woo Yeah!
I want to be fulfilled
I'm not gonna be driven mad,
by a day-to-day life spent in dreams, in delusions.
are you fighitng for it? VIRTUA LOVE
is your heart pounding? CRA"G"Y LOVE

you tame love, and put on an act again by psyching yourself out
oh weak-willed princess, don't be afraid to be different from others

a real "I love you", wearing sexy lingerie
I want to try and cross the border between us.

I don't want just appearance, it's gotta be real Woo Yeah!
I don't want people to take me for one of those sad types
who just sings how much they want to be loved with tears in their eyes
I don't want just pretty & neat, it's gotta be real Woo Yeah!
I want to be challenged
I don't have time to be disrupted by a day-to-day life spent
feeling only in fantasy.
do you aspire to it? REALITY LOVE
Can you feel it? CRA"G"Y LOVE
