KAN – 50nen Go mo (English Lyrics)

50年後も
Even After 50 Years

“If tomorrow morning I was dead, what would you do?”
“Why are you being weird again? Why don’t you just sleep?”
Is how you’d answer me, laughing

But like cherry trees blossoming on a spring day
Will the two of us be laughing like always
Even after 50 years, just like today?

Let’s gather up our love and merge our dreams
As we keep slowly flowing onwards

I will never leave you alone
No matter what happens
I won’t let you escape hearing those little words
That keep our fate sealed

Eventually, after the both of us have died
I don’t know what the world is going to look like
But take my hand so we don’t stray from one another

“Our love is eternal and you are my courage”
Is what I’ll forever insist on telling you

And I will never leave you alone
No matter what happens
Like great wings enveloping us
That keep our fate sealed

“If tomorrow morning I was dead, what would you do?”
“You’re still going on with that? Would you just sleep already!”
Is how you’d answer me, laughing

But like fallen leaves fluttering on an autumn evening
Will the two of us wither away as beautifully?
Even after 50 years, will we be gently laughing just like today?

KAN – Shinjirarenai Hito (English Lyrics)

Note: This song is a duet with Tane Tomoko, and the parts in quotations are her lines. The “Akiyama-san” mentioned in the lyrics is astronaut Akiyama Toyohiro.

信じられない人
Unbelievable Person

Sorry to suddenly break into a latin groove like this
“Surely you’ve got some ulterior motive.”
Just thought I’d keep it light — it’s a serious topic
“So what was it you wanted to talk about?”

Walking the tracks after the trains have stopped
Watch your step
It’s a feeling one seldom gets to enjoy
Times like these

Let’s walk until that crossing to sober up
“I haven’t had that much to drink”
The stars look bigger than usual tonight
“Gee, what a romantic you are…”

Okay, try this then
If you close your eyes for ten seconds
The stars will look twice as big
Come on now, close your eyes

“Unbelievable, you’re really just unbelievable!
What do you think you’re doing?!”

Just because our lips bumped into each other a little
Doesn’t mean you suddenly need to start running
You’ll fall over

“Unbelievable, you’re really just unbelievable!”
Is what you keep telling me
But I just told you, you should’ve watched your step
You need to have more faith in me

It’s my well-planned strategy
If she still doesn’t get how I feel…
Maybe I’ll try it once more

“Unbelievable, you’re really just unbelievable!
Would you give it a rest already?!”

In an era when even Mr. Akiyama’s going to space
What’s so unbelievable about me when I’m standing right here?

“Unbelievable, you’re really just unbelievable!”
Is what you keep telling me
But I love you, I really love you
At least believe that much

KAN – Koibito (English Lyrics)

恋人
Lovers

“Let’s live apart for a while”
In the end, I wasn’t able to soothe you

I’ll be waiting for you
Waiting forever
Always

As you were buying a ticket
I watched your delicate fingers, not saying a word

I wonder if all lovers feel this way?
I just don’t want to think we won’t meet again

I’ll be waiting for you
Waiting forever
Always

On the other side of the ticket gate
I forced myself to smile

It’s what I decided
With you whom I love the most
I’ll be going now
Although I really don’t want to

salyu x salyu – Tsuzuki wo (English Lyrics)

続きを
To Go On

The morning, following the night
Dawns on us in the blink of an eye
Now come, let’s still, still have a go at it
The reality that awaits us, be it what it may
See it all and burn it into memory

Oh, just the sky, just the clouds
Just the town we’re so used to seeing
Oh, just the earth, just the street corner
It’s all just so dazzling

To go on (With you)
To go on (Want to see more)
To go on (Until the end)
To go on (Want to make sure)

Days of tears, they end this very instant
Now come, come, let’s have a go at it
This incomprehensible reality in front of us
Accept it all as it is

Oh, somehow the sky, somehow the clouds
Somehow the town we’re so used to seeing
Oh, somehow the earth, somehow the street corner
Somehow it all has meaning

To go on (With you)
To go on (Want to see more)
To go on (Until the end)
To go on (Want to make sure)

To go on (For instance)
To go on (Even if disaster struck)
To go on (Ahh…)
To go on (I would not look away)
