Ikimonogakari - The Moon And Me And The Fridge

I open the fridge alone at midnight
I open the window and hear the buzz of insects
My spoonful of icecream slowly melted
As I watched it my heart twinged

When did I make myself...
I don’t even have the courage to close the fridge door...
A single feeling of anxiety runs around my heart
I’ll hurt these irreplaceable days

When I looked up at the yellow full moon through a crack in the window
It hid behind the clouds, pretending not to see me
If you were there, I could walk there
Saying “Let the slender light leaking out guide me...”

If I scream, if I wish all the time
Someday I’ll even cross this volatile distance
I won’t leave a single sigh, I’ll let out this sparkle called me

The midnight moon is tender
You’re the one who cools the heat of fighting into peace, peace
I’ll take out some icecream and put it quietly to my lips
And then slowly close the fridge door

As I began to talk to the crescent moon, it became slightly clearer
And today smiled on me as if that always happened
As I closed the window, I looked through it
And the drops of light enveloped my slightly hesitant body

I become life-size and realise the distance of today
Even when I encounter an indecisive me, I’ll overcome her
And take her into the two worlds known as yes and no
The moon and the fridge

If I scream, if I wish all the time
Someday I’ll even cross this volatile distance
I won’t throw away my countless weaknesses, I’ll take them with me
The moon and the fridge

If I scream, if I wish all the time
Someday I’ll even cross this volatile distance
I won’t throw away my countless weaknesses, I’ll take them with me
The moon and the fridge

I’ll take them with me, the moon and the fridge

Ikimonogakari - Tokyo Monkey Story

Hip and hop, crazy noise, shaking our hips to the peach rhythm
The moon shines, the flowers go rat-a-tat-tat
It’s our long-awaited festival, festival
Each monkey, one, two, three, four, five, six, telling sad, sad lies
Young and old, guys and girls
Dance to the song or you’ll miss out, don’t hesitate, laugh now

We’re all alive, we wanna feel happiness
For just this one night, that wish is within reach

We gonna, we gonna sing! Wow Wow we gonna sing!sing!
We gonna, we gonna sing so yeah!
Grandad saying “Oh my” and Grandma saying “Hi-ya!”
All together, ei-ya-so-ya-say! Yeah, yeah, sing

Our hearts are on top of the world, the great demon eats even the madness
Being unable to let our hair down in life
Is stifling, grumpy dirty boy

This life is bland and tasteless
For just this one night, get drunk on a momentary dream

We gonna, we gonna dance! Wow Wow we gonna
Dancing! We gonna, is it OK? Dancing is home
Brother saying “Hell with it” and sister saying “Feels so good”
All together, ei-ya-so-ya-say! Yeah, yeah, dance

Driving at top speed, then you cause a breakdown and it’s all for nothing
Shaking, wandering, where is Tokyo going?
Don’t hurry, wait, wait, you’re working so hard
Party, let your ego swell, the unstoppable festival goes on

I wanna gather up all my love and hope and give it to you
For just this one night, I’ll sing this song for everyone

We gonna, we gonna sing! Wow Wow we gonna sing!sing!
We gonna, we gonna sing so yeah!
Dad saying “Quite a party” and Mum saying “Hee hee hee”
All together, ei-ya-so-ya-say!
We gonna, we gonna sing! Wow Wow we gonna sing!sing!
We gonna, we gonna sing so yeah!
The song saying “The end!” and Yocchan* saying “I’m tired”
All together, ei-ya-so-ya-say!
Yeah, yeah, dance; yeah, yeah, sing; yeah, yeah, laugh

TRANSLATION

Ikimonogakari - Fake

This wonderful town looks like it’s from another country
The passing crowd is the same
They don’t even look like they’re searching for something
The town awakens under the cloak of night, the mismatched lights attracting people
Yes, this is a fake world full of chaos

Yes, steeped in the sound of “being myself”
I become blinded and unconsciously call out

My usual words are squeezing my heart
Looking for a true reason
Whether I walk or hesitate, my heart is blue
I smirk at myself from a distance

I caught glimpses of myself within the casual lies

Short-lived bliss, a glimpse of my cleverly-maturing day-to-day life
Another cold kiss on the fence of fake smiles
Pretending to have overexerted myself just makes it colder
There’s nothing more I can do there
My memories have gone to the other side, my lust is a usual fixture of this town

I shake off this temptation, knowing that it’s an impulse
And finally stop still and realise what a fake I am

Experience and numbers tend to just be fantasy here
My body, too, melts into a posh coat, fly fly
Eternity and the past are just whitewashing, the moon grows distant
Give your body over to the ragged sighs, cry cry
Recluses say depression is taboo, ironic choices repeating themselves
Lonely Mr. Child gets sad when he isn’t rewarded

The eyes of those cloaked in suspiciously beautiful lies
Always say “I hate it, hate it, hate it”
Appearance first, I’ll see them again tonight, it’s irritating...

Boundaries take second place
Dazzling magic is scattered through this town once again tonight

TRANSLATION

Ikimonogakari - One Heart, As It Is

I run to tomorrow, chased by the racing hands of the clock
The string of dreams I had one day are still in my heart
I’ve messed up, so many times now
But things like that don’t upset the ceaseless time

I’m standing here in front of a closed door
How does my back look? What does it tell you? Even that is meaningless
The pathetic girl who comforted herself by looking for an average is gone now

I’ll snuggle up to these lovable days, kiss the endless stream of reality
Float gently in these ripples of emotions and live in the present with certainty

I’ll find the old me who used to breathe imagination
This place will sparkle again
I’ll throw away this bravado-filled me who pretended to be brave
And head into the unique future that beckons

One heart, as it is

I kick the chair offered to me and still keep moving forward
The white clouds and fragile me grow far away
It’s surprisingly simple, it’s my values
My momentary elements won’t crumble

I’ll point to the shining light in the distance, take the hands of the people beside me
Picture the boundless limits and run now with certainty

I’ll find the me who shines with transparency, my heart will speed up before I know it
I’ll throw away the fake me who pretended to be clever
And continue to embrace this body, this one heart, as it is

The life-size future me
Is behind my eyelids, spurring me on
I’ve learned the truth: “I don’t need to dress myself up”

Just with all my might, yeah, just with all my might...

I’ll find the old me who used to breathe imagination
This place will sparkle again
I’ll throw away this bravado-filled me who pretended to be brave
And head into the unique future that beckons

One heart, as it is

Yes, one heart, as it is

TRANSLATION

Ikimonogakari - I'm Going To Be Late

I hear humming, it sounds like your voice
I could smell the clear sun and light

I run and run up the hill at top speed
The jet trails are white trails of hope drawn in the sky

I ride my bike, racing after your shoulders
Don’t see me, please see me, if our eyes meet I think I’ll fall for you
I ride my bike, looks like I’m going to be late today
I chase you as you lazily admire the jet trails on this sunny day

When I look across the river I see the town where you live
I found you on the big bridge at 8:30

Will this nervousness and pain and love reach you?
Will you hear the heartbeat that pounds horribly loud on my bell?

I can’t do anything while you’re on your bike
Don’t hurry, don’t panic, prolong the time by your side...
It’s no good, looks like I’m going to be late today
I’m just staring at you, at you, at your back

I ride my bike, racing after your shoulders
Don’t see me, please see me, if our eyes meet I think I’ll fall for you
I ride my bike, looks like I’m going to be late today
I chase you as you lazily admire the jet trails and the dancing light in the trees

I ride my bike

Ikimonogakari - The Flowers Are Cherry Blossoms, You Are Beautiful

The flowers are cherry blossoms, you are beautiful
Spring light through the trees, your smile
Winter is over, the snow melts
Spring comes to your heart

I hear a voice from the radio
Saying the rain pounding against the window will continue
The voice on the phone was crying
It was a nostalgic voice I thought I'd forgotten

Do you want to go back to that time
Once more?
I am now lost
Like a bud waiting for spring

The flowers are cherry blossoms, you are beautiful
Spring light through the trees, your smile
Winter is over, the snow melts
Spring comes to your heart

The unchanging scenery of the town
Taught me that there was one thing missing
In front of the station is "our usual place"
My trembling heart urges me on

Do I want to hold your hand
Once more?
Embracing the spring like mist
I am trembling now

The flowers are fragrant, you are lovely
Light dances on the surface of the water
The wind rustles, the town is brightly colored
Spring bewilders my heart

Does spring want
To make this flower bloom once more?
Your umbrella opens
At the train station where you wait for me

The flowers are cherry blossoms, you are beautiful
Spring light through the trees, your smile
The breath of spring sometimes burns
Our time overlaps in spring

The flowers are cherry blossoms, you are beautiful
Spring light through the trees, your smile
Winter is over, the snow melts
Spring comes to your heart

TRANSLATION

A cold rainshower begins, soaking my shoulders
I come out of my reverie when I realise that the drops on my cheeks are tears

A wrong answer changed our love
Even though I don’t have the power to go back in time, a pulse of bravado pounds

When did the shards of love I found that day disappear from inside me?
Do I no longer have a reason to think of your hand, now that I’ll never reach it again?
The pouring rain just kindly hides the tears pouring down my face
The scent of the rain brought by the sunset, that’s the only kind thing...

As weak as my stifled sobs are, I’m still trembling
I want to laugh that it’s a lie, but the last words won’t go away

The dreams we talked about together, the first time we held hands
Everything just squeezes reality in my heart

The love spell that reached us that day has surely disappeared from inside you
I know that there’s no point in searching for the dreams I found then
Why couldn’t I say then that I wanted to stay by your side a little longer...?
Those words seemed to cut me off, though I prayed that you wouldn’t say them...

My steps as I start walking may be more uncertain than that day
But I listen to my wobbly footsteps, maybe someday I’ll be able to laugh again
The countless time that goes by is still my treasure
If nothing else, I’ll quietly keep these memories in my heart, each one never fading
I’ll quietly keep them in my heart

“I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be creative
An honest destiny is showing itself again today
So “I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be in action
Depressing romances that go nowhere won’t do any good, right? It's so blue!!

An unchanging dream, it doesn’t matter
If my initial style leaves me, right?
In front of me is some warm miso soup, heralding the beginning of the day
Protect me forever, OK?

Even if I run from the sobering reality into a dream
Even if sharp-eyed lust leads me astray, you’re here today

“I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be creative
An honest destiny is showing itself again today
So “I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be in action
Depressing, bland romances don’t hold the answer, right? It's so Boo!!!

Fragrant steam
My usual bonito flake base
A single tear as a hidden flavour
When I open the window, I almost drown in the morning light that pours in
Keep smiling like this all the time

Why am I feeling a sense of danger?
Even if I play dumb, even if the irritating days get painful
You’re still looking at me today

“I’m at miso soup” as usual today, take care not to overwarm it
I don’t like it burning hot
In other words, “I’m at miso soup”, I want to always start with that
You’re dying for a pure, straightforward romance, right?
It's so good!!

It’s vaguely painful, but I’ll never forget it
Even if coincidences I can’t find make me lament my destiny again today
But “I’m at miso soup”, I want to feel moved again today
I can see the answer even in this unpromising love, right?

“I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be creative
An honest destiny is showing itself again today
So “I’m at miso soup”, I want to always be in action
Depressing, bland romances don’t hold the answer, right?
It's so Boo!!! That's so cool!! Just wanna do!!

Ikimonogakari - The Line of Youth

We’re now running
Along the glittering line of youth
Taking the love we share beyond our dreams

On the school field in summer
We jumped over the white lines without a care
We felt like we could reach the sun
We weren’t afraid of anything

How many dreams have I painted in the sky with you?
When you patted my back, I took that hand and held it tight

That’s right, we’re now running
Along the glittering line of youth, no going back now
We’ll always keep searching for a dramatic miracle
And reaching out, believing
Taking the love we share beyond our dreams

I traced the sunset through the window with my finger
To squash my little worries
When I nodded to sweep them away, you laughed

We’re both still holding onto that pinky promise we made
And steadily following it; I’ll never let go of your hand

That’s right, we’re now breaking
The glittering line of youth, no more hesitating
We’ll always keep searching for a romantic future
And reaching out, believing
Taking the love we share beyond our dreams

We’re now crossing
The glittering line of youth, no going back now

That’s right, we’re now running
Along the glittering line of youth, no going back now
We’ll always keep searching for a dramatic miracle
And reaching out, believing
Taking the love we share beyond our dreams

That’s right, we’re now running
Along the glittering line of youth
Taking the love we share beyond our dreams

Ikimonogakari - Summer Sky Graffiti

I want to keep this love magnificently hot in the bright glow of the sun

I broke the hands of the time machine and got an eternal summer
I didn’t know you couldn’t swim, the summer sky graffiti of this clumsy couple

The world begins to breath; after 100 seconds we’ll jump into this sea
I’ll surely tell you then, keep laughing
This feeling won’t stop, when I’m with you I can fly

I want to keep this love magnificently hot in the bright glow of the sun
You’re the only one who’s not allowed to let go of my hand, forever
Keep holding me

If we can laugh over lots of memories, that’s enough of a treasure
You wiped the sand off my cheek with an embarrassed expression

Let’s steal only the summers from God’s secret bag and line them up
We said we wanted the summer to last forever, right?
All the feelings that weighed me down have flown over the white clouds

I want to play until the sun runs away, in this bursting summer love
You’re the only one I want to take my hand up into the sky
I want to stay together

I love you more than anyone in the world
You mean more to me than anyone in the world
I’m the only one who’ll always believe in your hand

I want to keep this love magnificently hot in the bright glow of the sun
You’re the only one who’s not allowed to let go of my hand, forever
Keep holding me

Ikimonogakari - Red Promise

The silent wind surrounds us
In the red sunlight
We walk up the hill in step
But I'm always just chasing after you

I stumble and fall and cry
I just make it through life very well
But you grab my hand
And even my frightened heart can get stronger

So

I cry and laugh and my hand in yours
Is a promise more than the words we've said
Under this red sky where we met
I wish for the same thing I did that day

Time always slips through my hands
Before I notice, like falling leaves

The seasons pass one by one
But how many more thoughts will I be able to tell you?
We can't turn back even those ordinary days
So I'll treasure each moment of every day

So

These tears and smiles and my hand in yours
Are memories that mean more than a stack of photos
Under this red sky where we met
I promise the same thing I did that day

Even if "the end" eventually comes
We'll accept everything
"The place we met" and "the place we are now"
Will be connected forever in our hearts
Because if we turn around we can see our footprints

So

I cry and laugh, and don't let go
Of my hand until the last moment
Let's walk down this road ahead
Together again... Together again...

So

I cry and laugh and my hand in yours
Is a promise more than any words
Under this red sky where we met
I wish for the same thing I did that day

TRANSLATION

The sun prods me out of my sleepy daze once again
Lying under the covers of my futon, I thought of you
I know already, if I get moving I’ll be able to solve the puzzle
I’ll open the curtains, the day is beginning

In these clumsy days, I feel like giving up
But I pray, yeah, that I can hold my head high like we did then

I’ll embrace goodbye and smile again
Even in this starless Tokyo, see, morning has come again
So many precious things, but I can’t wait
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile

I write in the diary you gave me, though I slack off sometimes
I flick, albeit clumsily, through the future to come

Am I getting close to the aspirations I set my sights on?
I was about to nod, then shook my head, and left the house once again today

I’ll leave the loneliness behind and sing again
Even in this starry Tokyo, see, tomorrow will come
So many dreams and wishes, but I can’t draw them all
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile

You’re doing your best somewhere too, aren’t you?
It’s OK, I understand completely
When I’m about to give up, I always remember my promise to you

I’ll embrace goodbye and smile again
Even to this tiny girl, see, morning has come again
So many precious things, but I can’t wait
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile
