[English]

A cool breeze blows

The scent of blue skies

Today, let's just take it easy

The wind chimes ring

The yellow of sunflowers

I thought it had nothing to do with me

I was thinking that way

Summer has begun

The signal has been given

“It hurts and I'm tired,” but that's okay

Where will the next love lead?

It's not a movie

Who is the main character?

It's not a movie

It's our turn now

A gentle breeze blows

The sunset says "See you later"

I know it will end someday

The wind chimes ring

Spitting out watermelon seeds

It might have something to do with me too

The lies of friends

The love that gets tossed around

What should I believe in?

Even when I grow up, surely

Treasures won't fade away

It's okay

For now

Let's dive into the blue

Summer has begun

I've fallen in love

I'm already tired of waiting, how about you?

The more serious I get, the harder it is

It's not peaceful

It's my love

It's my love

It's lonely

After all, it's lonely

Will I be forgotten someday?

Even so

I seek "connections"

I believe in the greatness of people

Fate is being driven forward

The red thread makes a sound

You are the main character

Summer has begun

How about you?

Do you have the courage to be honest?

Where will this love lead?

It's not a movie

These are precious days

Love has begun

The signal has been given

I've been waiting for today, what a nice day

This summer can't end yet

It's not a movie

It's your turn now

It's not a movie

It's our blue

It's not a movie

It's our summer

[Japanese]

涼しい風吹く

青空の匂い

今日はダラッと過ごしてみようか

風鈴がチリン

ひまわりの黄色

私には関係ないと

思って居たんだ

夏が始まった

合図がした

“傷つき疲れる”けどもいいんだ

次の恋の行方はどこだ

映画じゃない

主役は誰だ

映画じゃない

僕らの番だ

優しい風吹く

夕焼けの「またね」

わかっているけどいつか終わる

風鈴がチリン

スイカの種飛ばし

私にも関係あるかもね

友達の嘘も

転がされる愛も

何から信じていいんでしょうね

大人になってもきっと

宝物は褪せないよ

大丈夫だから

今はさ

青に飛び込んで居よう

夏が始まった

恋に落ちた

もう待ち疲れたんだけど、どうですか？

本気になればなるほど辛い

平和じゃない

私の恋だ

私の恋だ

寂しいな

やっぱ寂しいな

いつか忘れられてしまうんだろうか

それでもね

「繋がり」求める

人の素晴らしさを信じてる

運命が突き動かされてゆく

赤い糸が音を立てる

主役は貴方だ

夏が始まった

君はどうだ

素直になれる勇気はあるか

この恋の行方はどこだ

映画じゃない

愛しい日々だ

恋が始まった

合図がした

今日を待ちわびた なんて良い日だ

まだまだ終われないこの夏は

映画じゃない

君らの番だ

映画じゃない

僕らの青だ

映画じゃない

僕らの夏だ
