This is one of my all time favorite J-Pop songs that makes me feel super nostalgic ❄️ これは私のお気に入りのJ-Pop曲の1つで、とても懐かしい気分にさせてくれます。

のびたかげを舗道にならべ
Our shadows stretch out on the pavement

夕闇のなかを君と歩いてる
As I walk in the twilight with you

手をつないでいつまでもずっと
Holding hands forever

そばにいれたなら泣けちゃうくらい
If we could be like this forever, it’s enough to make me cry

風が冷たくなって
The wind grows colder

冬の匂いがした
I can smell winter

そろそろこの街に
君と近付ける季節がくる

Soon the season will come to this town
When I can get close to you

今年 最初の雪の華を
To gaze at the first snowflake this year,

ふたり寄り添って
the two of us cuddle up

眺めているこのときに
This time as we gaze

幸せがあふれだす
I am overwhelmed with happiness

甘えとか弱さじゃない
It’s not dependence or weakness

ただ、君を愛してる
I simply love you

心からそう思った
I really think so, from the bottom of my heart

もし、君を失ったとしたなら
If I should lose you

星になって君を照らすだろう
I’ll become a star and shine on you

笑顔も涙に濡れてる夜も
Be it smiles or nights soaked in tears,

いつもいつでもそばにいるよ
I'll always stay by you forever.

今年 最初の雪の華を
To gaze at the first snowflake this year,

ふたり寄り添って
the two of us cuddle up

眺めているこのときに
This time as we gaze

幸せがあふれだす
I am overwhelmed with happiness

この街に降り積もってく
真っ白な雪の華
The pure-white snowflakes
Bury this city

ふたりの胸にそっと想い出を描くよ
Sketching new memories onto our hearts

これからも君とずっと…
Together forever with you

雪の華 Yuki no Hana (Snow Flower) by Mika Nakashima - Cover

Lyrics:

Let me just press rewind
I wanna go back in time
So I could just warn myself
Not to fall in love with you
I'd tell myself not to go
I wouldn't have to ever know
Raincheck on that Sofar show
So our paths would never cross

Let me reset
Restart these couple months
Erase you from my thoughts
Before you really fucked me up
Don't wanna replay
This sad old movie
Could somebody tell me
Where I can buy a time machine

Now, let us imagine that this cigar is the time traveler
Now in front of him is the lever which controls movement
Forward pressure sends the machine into the future
Backward pressure into the past

I'd stop you from pressing send
Stop sliding into my DMs
'Cause what's the point of dating me
If you're only gonna leave
A folder inside my head
That's labeled you and me
No use for these memories
Wish I could press delete

So let me reset
Restart these couple months
Erase you from my thoughts
Before you really fucked me up
Don't wanna replay
This sad old movie
Could somebody tell me
Where I can buy a time machine

Time machine, time machine

I wouldn't care how much it cost
'Cause I know I'm better off
Removing you from my thoughts
I was doing just fine
Before you came into my life
So just let me restart on this blank page

If I had a time machine
I'd make sure we would never meet
So when I finally meet somebody new
I wouldn't wish that they were just like you
Wish I never felt your touch
Wish you never called me up
Wish I never held your hand
But I also wish that we would never end

Lyrics:

Don’t make fun of me
For living in the past
I’m still recovering
From what could never last

Please stop telling me
I should be moving on
Don’t want my heart to be
Back at square one

No one will ever be
Comparable to you
Don’t think that I
Will ever see
Love from another point of view

‘Cause loving you feels so familiar 
I keep chasing after something similar
Can’t seem to fight my bad habits
When they smell just like your old jacket

I’ll keep singing your same sad melody
Don’t wanna learn a new song to sing
I’ll be tangled up
In this old familiar love

Fed me a billion lies
To write a million songs
I’ll sing you day and night
‘Till my voice is gone

And would you laugh
If you could see me now
I’m always looking past
The new love to be found

Don’t wanna waste all my time
Loving somebody new
‘Cause you remind me of the good times
You’re my nostalgic point of view

‘Cause loving you feels so familiar 
I keep chasing after something similar
Can’t seem to fight my bad habits
When they smell just like your old jacket
 
I’ll keep singing your same sad melody
Don’t wanna learn a new song to sing
I’ll be tangled up
In this old familiar love

In this old familiar love
Love

Familiar

Lyrics:

How many tears
Do I really have to cry
Until I finally stop
Thinking bout you every night

I need to love myself
But it's hard to trust my judgement
After trusting you
All I have for myself is resentment

And I'm tired of feeling desperate
I'd do anything for you to stay
Wish it didn't feel any different
Not to wake up to you these days

I got tears all up in my mask
Avoiding all eye contact
Can't stop crying in my Uber
Hope that I can make it to work
God I hate this city
It's filled with all our memories
I see the couples walking
I wish it was you and me

You said I wasn't the one
That we were different people
But it pains me to the core
To imagine with you with another girl

The sadness hits like the wind
It haunts me throughout the day
Sometimes I find the calm
But thinking of you brings back the storm

I got tears all up in my mask
Avoiding all eye contact
Can't stop crying in my Uber
Hope that I can make it to dinner
God I hate this city
It's filled with all our memories
I see the couples walking
I wish it was you and me

God I hate this city
It's filled with all our memories
I see the couples walking
Wish it was you
Wish it was you and me

Lyrics:

With you
Can’t wait to be with you
Can’t wait to be next to you
Can’t wait for the first day of school

It’s been a couple months but I can’t wait to see
You standing by your locker waving back at me
I miss the color of your hair against the sun
I miss the conversations we shared over lunch

You’re a lefty so I’ll just sit on your right
Connected by a pair of headphones intertwined
Show me all your favorite songs over some fries
The ones that you’ve been dancing to on summer nights

Summers without you can get a little bit lame
June, July, and August have got me going insane
 
I’m waiting for the first day of school 
You got me acting like such a fool
Do you like what I’m wearing
Did you miss me
Do you like like my haircut too

Hoping you’ll sit next to me in class
Hoping that the bell won’t ring so fast
I don’t care about the homework
Or the research
As long as I’m with you

With you
Can’t wait to be with you
Can’t wait to be next to you
Can’t wait for the first day of school

I remember when
I saw you for the first time 
We were both young and 
Ain’t have such thing as past times

You’d know how to get under my skin
But when we’d part, yeah in my head
I knew a piece was missing 

Summers without you can get a little bit lame
June, July, and August have got me going insane
 
I’m waiting for the first day of school 
You got me acting like such a fool
Do you like what I’m wearing
Did you miss me
Do you like like my haircut too

Hoping you’ll sit next to me in class
Hoping that the bell won’t ring so fast
I don’t care about the homework
Or the research
As long as I’m with you

I just can’t keep waiting all these summers without you
Baby I can’t wait
Can’t wait for the first day of school

With you
Can’t wait to be with you
Can’t wait to be next to you
Can’t wait for the first day of school

“Finish Line” is about finding the courage to leave a toxic relationship with someone before they leave you

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

You serenaded me with your favorite song
It was so easy just to play along
Poetry so sweet, you got me on that sugar high
I’m so gullible, didn’t think you’d ever stoop,
so low

So I turn off all the lights so you can see me
A few nights in and already I’m history
I’m tired of this game gotta escape this crazy dream

So let me be, the first to leave,
No more blues, left to sing
Running out of time
to say goodbye
Cuz I’d hate to see you beat me to the finish line

Line
Finish line

It’s not so easy just to walk away
When you look so good, I think I’d better stay
All your lies so sweet, if only I had called you out
Could’ve been leaving you, and not the other way around

So I turn off all the lights so you can see me
Few nights in and already I’m history
I’m tired of this game gotta escape this crazy dream

So let me be, the first to leave,
No more blues, left to sing
Running out of time
to say goodbye
Cuz I’d hate to see you beat me to the finish line

So this is the last time that you’ll see me
Promise that you won’t be seeing more of me
Take a good last look maybe you’ll see me on a screen

Let me be, the first to leave
No more blues, left to sing
Running out of time
to say goodbye
Cuz I’d hate to see you beat me to the finish line

Line
Finish line

You serenaded me with your favorite song
It was so easy just to play along

“Coffee” is a jazz/pop ballad about not being able to fall asleep after being consumed with the memory of a loved one, kind of like drinking coffee late in the evening. 

--------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

You're like my favorite record
Spinning in my mind your melody
I don't regret all of this wasted time
If you're the only one that's on repeat
You're like coffee in the evening
You make it difficult to fall asleep
Behind my eyes the pictures that you drew
Couldn't resist the urge to miss you

Congrats to you
For slipping into my mind
And I guess you've left me restless again tonight
But when I fall asleep
I dream I'd wake up to you in the morning
So please just wait for me

You're like my favorite movie
I let you in behind the scenes
Imperfect characters but I believe
You saw the me that no one else could see
I miss your fingers running through my hair
You pull those strings all night to make me sing
Miss the times when you'd light up the air
How did you make it look so easy

Congrats to you
For slipping into my mind
And I guess you've left me restless again tonight
But when I fall asleep
I dream I'd wake up to you in the morning
So please just wait for me

And when I fall sleep
I dream I'd wake up to you in the morning
So please just wait for me
