Aira Mitsuki -Ā ā€œBARBiE BARBiEā€ - lyrics
BARBiE DANCER, what a reckless sky Itā€™s just like the DOLLY said, you wonā€™t see heaven up there
Iā€™m not asking for happiness or anything I just want you to take away my anxieties for the day And if that canā€™t happen then Iā€™ll just let it end Come on, someone - sing that itā€™s okay to run away
Tomorrow, and the future - soon they wonā€™t matter at all If being able to climb the stairs of life is just a fairy tale, Iā€™d rather you pull my strings through it
BARBiE DANCER, what a reckless sky Itā€™s just like the DOLLY said, you wonā€™t see heaven up there BARBiE DANCER, in my sketch I shouldnā€™t have let the DOLLY out in monochrome
Whenever we kiss, I always find myself wondering if youā€™re about to bite my tongue off No matter how many times I ask, I still feel like youā€™re lying Your kindness is the thing I hate second-most of all
I think the stars look beautiful, but I donā€™t want to reach out to them If looking at the light means Iā€™ll only notice the shadows more, then I donā€™t want to see anything at all
BARBiE DANCER, what a reckless sky Itā€™s just like the DOLLY said, you wonā€™t see heaven up there BARBiE DANCER, in my sketch I shouldnā€™t have let the DOLLY out in monochrome
You thought that trying as hard as you could in life would pay off some day, but after all that what did you gain in the end?
BARBiE DANCER, what a reckless sky Itā€™s just like the DOLLY said, you wonā€™t see heaven up there BARBiE DANCER, in my sketch I shouldnā€™t have let the DOLLY out in monochrome

BiS -Ā ā€œGETTiNG LOSTā€ - lyrics
Iā€™m so sick of them now, will they repeat all over again? Remorses that seem to go on forever
I tell lies, over and over because I feel like this boring life of mine is going to kill me
But I wonā€™t say ā€œHelp meā€
It wasnā€™t meant to end up this way I was such a good person What was so wrong about that, and what good did it do me?
I didnā€™t know but I kept looking for it A part of myself that I left behind long ago in the past along with the dream I had back then
One single tear fell down from my face No, thereā€™s nothing that can stay unchanging
Why is it that only the words Iā€™ve heard so often theyā€™ve lost all meaning bring me any relief?
I wonder why? Itā€™s so strange
It was even more different than I expected I was so honest What was so wrong about that, what good did it do me?
I didnā€™t know But I kept chasing after it Something I dropped and lost a long time ago along with the dream I had back then
It wasnā€™t meant to end up this way I was such a good person What was so wrong about that, what good did it do me?
I didnā€™t know But I kept looking for it A part of myself I left behind long ago in the past along with the dream I had back then

BiS -Ā ā€œAre you ready?ā€ - lyrics
Papa Are we such bad girls? Iā€™m all worn out in this cold and unfamiliar place and thatā€™s all it takes for everything I see to fade away
Oh, Papa, canĀ I kill you?Ā  Not with a knife or anything, no, I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing but how I want to kill you
Are you ready? Donā€™t say ā€œNot yetā€, Iā€™veĀ lost count of how many times youā€™ve told me that, only ever telling me about your dreams Is myĀ life really precious to you?
Iā€™ll atone Iā€™ll atone next time Sentimental
I donā€™t fit into your machine
Smash it
Weā€™ll tear it down, namaste to the idiots who get in our way andĀ laugh Weā€™ll tear it down, namaste to the shy ones getting in our way Weā€™ll tear it down, namaste to the idiots who get in our way andĀ laugh Weā€™ll tear it all down, namaste to the shy ones getting in our way, you idiots
Yeah, namaste Here we go, putting out the fire now Setting our trap over it all for the tail of something we havenā€™t seen yet Here we go How do you fight?? Is your tactic to treat itĀ like a game?? Here we go How about you dear?? Keep going! Weā€™re drawing the short straw
Rub, rub, rubbing up on the radio now [1] Rub, rub, rub, rubbing up on the radio now
We can come with fire on the radio To fire And rub, rub, rub To fire Fire Fire
In the near future Will there be thunder on the radio like itā€™s something ordinary?
Rub, rub, rubbing up on the radio now Rub, rub, rub, rubbing up on the radio now
Itā€™s so painful I donā€™t care if they say Iā€™m stuck in a rut or anything Itā€™s easy, itā€™s just communication I justĀ look for someone I can talk to, Iā€™m small and worthless, I donā€™t need any sympathy Oh, oh oh
Itā€™s no big deal, I just - you know, wish for - you know, aĀ little peace and quiet What a shame that truthfully, I just spend it as if nothing had ever changed
WA! Fuck! KA!! Itā€™s enough to make you cry! WA! It could make you cry! we-i!!
Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i! Gonna make you cry, wa-i!
Thatā€™s right I could cry Iā€™m definitely gonna cry, Iā€™ll cry and I bet itā€™ll be sad enough to make you cry I bet youā€™ll all cry at once, in one big chain Iā€™m not grateful, Iā€™d rather tear it all down But I donā€™t know why Itā€™s like a mirage in the distance SoĀ letā€™s all cry some more
And now you do what they told ya Oh what they told ya Sha!!
ROCKā€™Nā€™ROLL TOLD YA ROCKā€™Nā€™ROLL ROCKINā€™ TOLD YA
ROCK is SUiCiDE
It wonā€™t stop screaming, but itā€™s just a voice in my head I wonder if I can tear it out of there No, itā€™s not possible So Iā€™llĀ let it out instead Itā€™s so meaningless See how useless it is to do it, no way YES Eh-o Sex sex sex sex sex
WE WILL ROCK YOU
Rock you Alright
Papa Are we such bad girls? Iā€™m all worn out in this cold and unfamiliar place and thatā€™s all it takes for everything I see to fade away
Oh, Papa, can I kill you? Not with a knife or anything, no, I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing but how I want to kill you
Are you ready? Donā€™t say ā€œNot yetā€, Iā€™ve lost count of how many times youā€™ve told me that, only ever telling me about your dreams Is my life really precious to you?
Iā€™ll atone Iā€™ll atone next time Sentimental
I donā€™t fit into your machine
One single tear came spilling out One single answer can give us that shiver of excitement And now weā€™re singing with silent voices for people who canā€™t hear One single tear that wonā€™t come out Weā€™ve yet to hear one single word to give us that shiver of excitement But to make our impossible dream possible after all, weā€™re going to kill you Are you ready? Oh, oh oh Are you ready? Are you ready?
I want to die Itā€™s so frustrating I want to cry Itā€™s so meaningless I want to burn I want to die I want to eat I want to burn Make it echo Make it reach you I want to eat I want toĀ live Are you ready?Ā  Or not?
Notes: [1] The official lyric written here isĀ ā€œima rajio ni momi momi momiā€, however, this is meant to be heard as the wordĀ ā€œirrumatioā€ (iramachio), as confirmed by the BiS members in interviews.Ā ā€œIrrumatioā€ is almost unused in English and is more popularly known by names such asĀ ā€œface-fuckingā€, but is more common in Japanese. All words in italics were originally printed in English to begin with.Ā

GANG PARADE -Ā ā€œMessageā€ - lyrics
The rain can fall, but this is still a parade May this message reach you, a message from me Donā€™t put your umbrella up, this is a parade Letā€™s just keep enjoying it, letā€™s dive in together
See, I canā€™t wait for next week The day is done and now Iā€™m already bored again Itā€™s just another ordinary morning, so I canā€™t stop yawning I fall asleep again, this isnā€™t funny, and now I gotta run to the train station The bell rings, the doors close, and the train rolls away right before my eyes - Nooooo!!!!!
Iā€™ve had enough of this, so Iā€™ll put in my earphones and blast that song loud Iā€™ve never been there before, but the way to go is just to take that step forward
one! Even if you canā€™t communicate, donā€™t worry, youā€™ll be fine two! Watch the people around you and copy what theyā€™re doing, donā€™t be shy three! Put your hands up, right to the back of the room, so I can see four! As long as I can keep on dancing with all of you, then Iā€™ll be happy tonight
The rain can fall, but this is still a parade May this message reach you, a message from me Donā€™t put your umbrella up, this is a parade Letā€™s just keep enjoying it, letā€™s dive in together, letā€™s forget all our troubles
Um, so itā€™s 3AM and I still canā€™t get to sleep Another day of nothing on TV I turn out the lights and look up at the ceiling, but my eyes are still wide open Time goes by and itā€™s getting light outsideĀ  I can hear the sound of the bike delivering newspapers getting closer - Booooon!!!!!
If you donā€™t want to do anything, then throw it all away and letā€™s run together When you get there, letā€™s all play together, letā€™s live in the moment
five! is invitations, you can come alone, or with a friend, itā€™s all fine six! Just donā€™t do anything dangerous, that way everyone can enjoy it together seven! Look at your right, in front, your left, behind, above, and see eye-to-eye eight! Iā€™ll hold on to your hands, so hold mine back and weā€™ll party tonight
Hey, in the end life is just asking the impossible of you, so itā€™s okay if you trip and stumble on the way Hey, remember it until you forget - what a fun time weā€™ve had here together
one! Even if you canā€™t communicate, donā€™t worry, youā€™ll be fine two! Watch the people around you and copy what theyā€™re doing, donā€™t be shy three! Put your hands up, right to the back of the room, so I can see four! As long as I can keep on dancing with all of you, then Iā€™ll be happy tonight
The rain can fall, but this is still a parade May this message reach you, a message from me Donā€™t put your umbrella up, this is a parade Letā€™s just keep enjoying it, letā€™s dive in together

GANG PARADE -Ā ā€œLASTā€ - lyrics
Ah, how much further do I have to walk? My feelings are flitting back and forth with every single word
The way things are now I had to sigh, but just you look and see - theyā€™ve not knocked me down yet! Iā€™m not going to sigh any more, instead Iā€™ll take a deep breath as hard as I can
No matter how many times, how many times the storm hits me and leaves me close to broken And no matter if this is the wrong way I wonā€™t have lost a thing, no, not as long as this road lasts until the end
Ah, how much further do I have to walk? Iā€™m being tested by every single action and itā€™s wearing me down
Iā€™m writhing and struggling through the pain, but Iā€™m not gaining anything for myself* But when the next morning comes Iā€™ll take a step forward as hard as I can
Some day, every day, Iā€™ll keep saying it,Ā  even if it stops meaning anything at all And even if it all goes to waste, I wonā€™t have lost a thing, no, Iā€™m sure this road is the only one there is
I pretended I couldnā€™t feel a thing But as long as this road lasts until the end then no matter how many times
No matter how many times, how many times the storm hits me and leaves me close to broken And no matter if this is the wrong way I wonā€™t have lost a thing, no, not as long as this road lasts until the end
* Although this song mostly makes reference toĀ ā€œprimal.ā€ by BiS in both the lyrics and composition, this specific line calls back to ā€œFlyā€: ā€œWhat was it you gained in the end from writhing there in the darkness?ā€

MOSAIC.WAV Ɨ Yumemi Nemu -Ā ā€œArui wa Yumemi Nemu to Iu Gainen he no Succeedā€ - lyrics
[Note: ā€œArui wa Yumemi Nemu to Iu Gainen he no Succeedā€ (Or Maybe Iā€™m The Successor to the Idea of Yumemi Nemu) is a direct continuation of Nemuā€™s 2014 solo songĀ ā€œAno Ne... Jitsu wa Watashi, Yumemi Nemu Nanda...ā€ (Well... to Tell You the Truth, Iā€™m Yumemi Nemu...), written as a duet between the real Yumemi Nemu and the Vocaloid software of the same name.]
Iā€™m Yumemi Nemu, too... Iā€™m Yumemi Nemu, too... ā€œAre you Yumemi Nemu as well?ā€ Me too... Me too... Good morning Good morning
Alchemy: itā€™s the very first kind of magic, everyoneā€™s got it and it can change the world What Iā€™m seeing is the light of the stars as they illuminate the sky aboveĀ  This computerised city is a visual, and as I stand alone in it, I am physical This world is the same as it ever was, but what is it that itā€™s missing?
I let my voice fly into the blue of the sky, but I find myself loving the mint green of the moss What if the meaning of my life is to inherit every single footstep youā€™ve taken?
So even if I were to disappear,Ā  Yumemi Nemu would still live on But thereā€™s one worry that keeps troubling me: Arenā€™t you afraid that everyone will forget about you and leave you behind? So, now:
Yumemi Nemu will become an idea
Iā€™ll give my name to the god of the assembly line, And to you, born into this world without any real missionĀ  Iā€™ll give my name We met here, on this planet too small to be worth anything at all With hope, a light, a future, dreams
Yumemi Nemu isnā€™t asleep - sheā€™s counting the stars passing by above Yumemi Nemu is dreaming - dreaming about far-off planets Yumemi Nemu isnā€™t asleep - but all while sheā€™s living in the moments passing by Yumemi Nemu is dreaming - dreaming boundless dreams
Neoteny: if you looked at our brains from space, weā€™d still seem like children We all look the same, but we sparkle in different ways On the left, on the right, itā€™s all a cloning project, they plan how to process us in a top-down system But I love the errors that can never be covered up
Youā€™re still thinking about it with that overly fragile heart, arenā€™t you? Your wits and your subtleties, your hard-to-define sense of taste are all going to end up there soon enough
ā€œWhat does it mean to beĀ ā€˜healedā€™?ā€ ā€œHaving someone who can untie the knots of your heart.ā€ ā€œAnd do you need some kind of skill to do that?ā€ ā€œNo, all you need to do is be there for them.ā€ ā€œThen I want...ā€
I want to be by your side
Iā€™ll give my name to the god of rush-jobs And to you, born into this world through ordinary, plain old parameters Iā€™ll give my name We met here, on this planet too small to be worth anything at all You, me, yesterday, tomorrow
Ah, we are still evolving
The rusted hearts of the coelacanths will melt into sweet mousseĀ  ā€œWho are you? Where did you come from?ā€ ā€œFrom the future you were hoping for.ā€
Donā€™t just copy how I sing and dance, what I want is for you to absorb and portray the cosmos right before your eyes
So we finally meet
Iā€™ll give my name to the god of the assembly line, And to you, born into this world without any real mission Iā€™ll give my name We met here, on this planet too small to be worth anything at all With hope, a light, a future, dreams
ā€œLike how the trees stretch their branches to the sky Like mathematical laws that have lasted a thousand years You inherit this resolution and youā€™ll never be able to go back.ā€ ā€œWhy is that?ā€ ā€œThatā€™s all there is to the world.ā€ ā€œI donā€™t want you to be stuck in some sad loop, so could I be Yumemi Nemu, too?ā€ ā€œFrom today onwards, you are Yumemi Nemu.ā€
Yumemi Nemu isnā€™t asleep - sheā€™s counting the stars passing by above Yumemi Nemu is dreaming - dreaming about far-off planets Yumemi Nemu isnā€™t asleep - but all while sheā€™s living in the moments passing by Yumemi Nemu is dreaming - dreaming boundless dreamsĀ  Yumemi Nemu isnā€™t asleep - but all while sheā€™s living in the moments passing by Yumemi Nemu is dreaming - dreaming boundless dreams

Kaizuki RanaĀ (LinQ)ā€™s blog:Ā ā€œThe reason I call Itoh Maki my masterā€ [Oct 14th 2018]
The reason I call Itoh Maki my master.Ā 
When I joined LinQ, there were 26 members who were my seniors.
Maybe you canā€™t exactly imagine what I mean, but for me it was like being the new kid in class, in a school full of girls who were more experienced than me.Ā 
Some of the members I knew from when weā€™d talked during my days as a trainee, and some of them took the time to teach me all the choreography.
But because there were 26 of them, naturally there were members who I barely knew beyond just sayingĀ ā€œhelloā€.
And out of all 26, Itoh was one of the ones who I almost never got a chance to meet.
But she made a huge impression on me: During the talk portions of our concerts, I would always be looking at her, and I watched that video where the LinQ members make a surprise visit to her house over and over again.
She appeared on prime time variety shows likeĀ ā€œGod Tongueā€ andĀ ā€œNakai no Madoā€ more than anyone else in LinQ, and I think out of all of us, she was the most well-recognised.
Tumblr media
[Caption: LinQ, the idols looking for a comedian to mentor them //Ā ā€œDid Sakuma mean Itoh? When he saidĀ ā€˜Thereā€™s a girl with a huge face in this groupā€™?ā€ //Ā ā€œThereā€™s a girl with a huge face in this group.ā€]
Tumblr media
[Caption: If I had a small face, my individuality would completely die.]
Other idol groups loved her too, so she became like a bridge between them and LinQ.
Tumblr media
Hereā€™s us with the Up Up Girls (Kari). [1]
The first time I ever had a proper conversation with Itoh... was the first time we did a concert in Tokyo together.
Iā€™m a total penny-pincher, so when there were 5 peoplesā€™ worth of sandwiches from the catering left over, she caught me stuffing them into my bag and asked me
ā€œRana, what are you doing?ā€
That was the beginning, the first time she laughed and spoke to me.Ā 
And then as we were waiting for the concert to start, she listened to me talk for a whole hour, looking like she was having fun, about all the things I do to try and save money, and I had so much fun just talking to her.
The same Itoh who I was so afraid to say hello to, the same Itoh who makes such un-idol-like comments on TV and in the media... I couldnā€™t believe she was so cute and so kind to her juniors!!!!
And that was when I fell for Itoh Maki, like she was the girl of my dreams.Ā 
Before being an idol, before being a wrestler, what you need to know is that sheā€™s just such a wonderful girl.Ā 
But just after I joined LinQ, she moved to Tokyo and began working as a wrestler along with her idol work, so I hardly ever got to see her.Ā 
There was a time during one of our concerts in Fukuoka, when Itoh wasnā€™t there, that we played aĀ ā€œgesture gameā€ on stage.
I couldnā€™t make anyone laugh on my own, and I couldnā€™t seem to make them get into it. In the end, the game was awkward and nobody in the audience was having much fun.Ā 
Thatā€™s when I realised how much presence Itoh really has.Ā 
Thereā€™s nobody in LinQ who can replace her.Ā 
That was when I thought ā€œI want to be like Itoh, I want to get the audience having fun!!!! Even when sheā€™s not here, I want to be able to fill in for her!!!ā€
So I started projecting my body on stage, I tried doing gags, and I tried posting jokes on Twitter,
but itā€™s just like I thought - I canā€™t be like Itoh.
When she sent a comment my way for the first time in a while, I gave a totally serious response, and I look pretty silly.
Tumblr media
Thereā€™s still way too much I havenā€™t learned yet.
TV variety shows, books, viral Tweets -Ā  Iā€™m gonna research everything, so I can be more like Itoh. Thatā€™s my goal.
I want you all to be able to see the results of that research.
And one day, I want Itoh to see it too.
Every single day, Itoh Maki keeps evolving. So if I slip up even a little I wonā€™t be able to catch up with her at all.
I need to evolve every day, too, so I can keep up.
Itoh once saidĀ  ā€œIā€™m gonna be the Maeda Atsuko or the Sashihara Rino of the wrestling world.ā€
So: ā€œKaizuki Rana will be the Itoh Maki of the idol worldā€.
As Kaizuki Rana, member #004 of the Itoh Respect Army,Ā  Iā€™ll keep supporting her in everything she does, Iā€™ll keep respecting her, and Iā€™ll keep trying to reach her level.
Tumblr media
Hereā€™s the first photo we ever took together. (It was the first time I went to go see one of her matches in Tokyo, and it made me so emotional I started crying)
Tumblr media
On my birthday, she came and gave me a BIG FACE towel in person.
Tumblr media
Hereā€™s when she did the Rana Pose with me.
Tumblr media
And this is from today, when she had a match in Fukuoka, her hometown and the town where LinQ is based.
And I got to be there as the opening act for the match, as a member of LinQ!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When we did Calorie Nante [2], Itohā€™s old entrance theme, suddenly she ran in!
ā€œWe got to sing and dance to a LinQ song together in the same ring.ā€ Even just thinking about it now makes me emotional that I was able to have such an amazing experience.Ā 
To Takagi, the president of DDT Pro Wrestling, and to all the wrestling staff, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!!!
Iā€™ll keep working hard with the rest of LinQ so that one day youā€™ll hear from me again!!!
Iā€™ll see you soon, I promise!
And to everyone who watched todayā€™s match and became a fan of Itoh,Ā  everyone who wants to see more from her, and everyone who couldnā€™t make it to Fukuoka and wanted to watch:
On October 21st, Itoh will be in a match at Tokyoā€™s Ryogoku Kokugikan!
Seats on the floor are sold out, but you can still buy tickets for the upper floor!
If youā€™ve never watched wrestling before, maybe you think you wonā€™t enjoy it if you donā€™t understand the rules -Ā  if thatā€™s what you think, then this is all you need to know and youā€™ll definitely have fun!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Images explaining the basics of wrestling rules.]
Sorry they look so hand-made (>_<)
This ended up being a long one, so thank you so much for reading all the way to the end!!
I hope youā€™ll keep on supporting Itoh Maki, and me, Kaizuki Rana!
[1] The original Up Up Girls, founded in 2010, and not the group signed with TJPW. The group was originally formed with ā€œ(ä»®)ā€, meaning something along the lines of ā€œtemporaryā€ orĀ ā€œTBCā€, on the end of their name. In the end, they never changed the name, and even left theĀ ā€œ(ä»®)ā€œ as part of it. The word is now part of the groupā€™s identity and is a running joke - even their albums are titledĀ ā€œ1st Album (title TBA)ā€, ,ā€2nd Album (title TBA)ā€, and so on.
[2]Ā ā€œCalorie Nanteā€ (ć‚«ćƒ­ćƒŖćƒ¼ćŖ悓恦, ~ā€Oh, Those Caloriesā€) was released in 2011 as LinQā€™s second single. Itā€™s a song warning young girls not to take part in dangerous diets:
Calories, oh, those calories!Ā  Theyā€™re a fiendish temptation, 100%! But it turns out... theyā€™re full of vitamins and minerals too. Calories, oh, those calories! Theyā€™re not so bad after all!Ā  You just need to take a look at whatā€™s inside, and take care not to overdo it!
During live performances Itoh would hype up the crowd specifically for this song, leading them in chants and spitting water on them. The song was associated closely enough with her that it became her entrance theme when she first joined TJPW, and she used it right up until she was kicked out of LinQ.

JOANJOAN -Ā ā€œNEW AGE RIOTā€ - lyrics
Wiped out in just 60 seconds Slaves to the sound in a secret Utopia, a vanishing point weā€™ve never experienced, non-fiction, weā€™re feeling it for real Left behind by the dream train taken to the Dodge Challenger Like a dog of Andalusia clinging to anarchism, such a soldier
Let me hear it, the ultimate music that canā€™t be measured with a Scouter, ready - action (Future of war Future of war) This sound that gives me chills just keeps on coming
Iā€™m living full of fighting spirit, bringing out the machine gun Beats filling the space around us, you fall down before you even feel it Dead - headshotĀ  Like youā€™ve swallowed up the impactĀ  An attack like Kimbo Slice, a counteraction from the underground Whatā€™s more, it just keeps coming - the perfect combo
NEW AGE RIOT
This is the new age, OK?
The kind of dance music that canā€™t be renovated, an outdated Amita Drive [1] Aristotle said it: to love is to love yourself Ideals piled high into a tower, but itā€™s just a Tower of Babel thatā€™ll never be complete Black shirt, damaged jeans A fickle kind of chameleon style
Karl! Come back! Watch me carving out a new age, listen to me Shoot till youā€™re out of bullets, do it like Bobby Gillespie Born from the sound as exterminators We are agitators
Destroy two thousand and eighteen culture
Blast off!!
This is the new age, OK?
Do we just wanna die? No thank you Love and peace, or destruction!
Do you just wanna die in your sleep? Thank you! For peace, or destruction!
This is the new age, OK?
[1] An item from the animation seriesĀ ā€œEureka Sevenā€, explained in greater detail here:Ā https://eurekaseven.wikia.com/wiki/Amita_Drive

BiS -Ā ā€œAgainst the Painā€ - lyrics
We say our goodbyes to this backdrop weā€™ve grown so used to Even if it didnā€™t feel like we wanted, we really did taste it all, the hard times, the fun times
We came down this same road back then too And all the memories are rising up as if we want to turn back, as if we never want to turn back
There were times where our friends would reach out their hands only to push us downĀ  We repeated the same days over and over to tear out those maddening days of the past
By the time weā€™d realised, months had passed us by and it seemed weā€™d finally come to like this path we used to hate so much
Heartbreak hits us in the chest Our theme song should sound right for heartbreak Ah, it was really this simple after all
These feelings of mine can fuck off and die But the tears are spilling out Iā€™ll put my dreams into them, Iā€™ll stay up through the night and I wonā€™t throw away a single day we spent together
I love you!! I love you!! This world of night skies and bright stars, what a sound it makes as it crumbles and falls But I can feel it, I think weā€™re going to make it against the pain
At the very end of the dream I had while wavering [1] Youā€™re there speaking to me softly We really did taste it all, the hard times, the fun times
I couldnā€™t stand the words you were letting out, all the things I hated Itā€™s set up for us to be hurt from the start [2]
Heartbreak hits us in the chest Our theme song should sound right for heartbreak Ah, it was really this simple after all
These feelings of mine can fuck off and die But the tears are spilling out Iā€™ll put my dreams into them, Iā€™ll stay up through the night and I wonā€™t throw away a single day we spent together
I love you!! I love you!! This world of night skies and bright stars, what a sound it makes as it crumbles and falls But I can feel it, I think weā€™re going to make it against the pain
We say our goodbyes to this backdrop weā€™ve grown so used to Even if it didnā€™t feel like we wanted, we really did taste it all, the hard times, the fun times
We came down this same road back then too And all the memories are rising up as if we want to turn back, as if we never want to turn back
These feelings of mine can fuck off and die But the tears are spilling out Iā€™ll put my dreams into them, Iā€™ll stay up through the night and I wonā€™t throw away a single day we spent together
I love you!! I love you!! This world of night skies and bright stars, what a sound it makes as it crumbles and falls But I can feel it, I think weā€™re going to make it against the pain
Heartbreak hits us in the chest
[1] A reference to the line fromĀ ā€œprimal.ā€:Ā ā€œIn the dream I had while wavering / I asked tomorrow, although it couldnā€™t answer: / ā€˜Hey, what shall we eat now?ā€™ā€ [2] A reference to the line fromĀ ā€œprimal.2ā€³:Ā ā€œItā€™s set up to hurt us from the start / and now all weā€™re bringing along with us is the blisters on our feetā€

Aira Mitsuki -Ā ā€œDetective Aā€ - lyrics
Itā€™s impossible to fill in that twisted blank by now Lend me your hand Because the irony is only getting deeper, and all we need is just one piece
ah i donā€™t care the way you save me just find a piece Iā€™m sure it must be there inside of you, just find a pieceĀ 
Your eyes seem to laugh at the difficult things, this mystery seems almost impossible The frame of my heart is open, please fill it in the second you canĀ  Your piece seems like itā€™ll fit, throw it to me so I can catch it, youā€™re good at that The frame of my heart is open, the very second you can - Detective A
Itā€™s a clue, the way I show you my secret feelings - hold out your right hand Two shadows are beginning to move towards the very last piece
I donā€™t know when it flew away and it seems almost impossible to find by now Iā€™ll leave it to the great detective: the very second you can, just find a piece
Itā€™s impossible to fill in that twisted blank by now Lend me your hand Because the irony is only getting deeper, and all we need is just one piece Itā€™s a clue, the way I show you my secret feelings - hold out your right hand Two shadows are beginning to move towards the very last piece
ah i donā€™t care the way you save me just find a piece Iā€™m sure it must be there inside of you, just find a piece
Your eyes seem to laugh at the difficult things, this mystery seems almost impossible The frame of my heart is open, please fill it in the second you can Your piece seems like itā€™ll fit, throw it to me so I can catch it, youā€™re good at that The frame of my heart is open, the very second you can - Detective A

Aira Mitsuki -Ā ā€œPyramidalā€ - lyrics
I look back and feel a little afraid What landscapes will I see when I go up? Low, high, itā€™s up to how I feel and nobody else
I stretch outĀ  my rusted fingertips with my willpower, and I donā€™t stop walking I wonā€™t lose to the rain, to the wind Iā€™m just like a puppet
The more pain is piled up on me the more I stand firm on my feet Even if I donā€™t have the strength just to be able to take those steps
This simple pride of mine Iā€™ll let it go, let it go I turn the swaying of this crumbling pyramid into a dance When I look up at the moon tonight I want to see you there, see you there Letā€™s dance, so I can tell you ā€œIā€™m here, and Iā€™m okayā€
I had overlooked it but I noticed all of a sudden All the eyes on me belonged to adults now Dealing with everyone, itā€™s up to how I feel But what a long time itā€™s been
Even the small cracks you wouldnā€™t notice from a distance should show up when that special pair of eyes looks at them
The more pain is piled up on me the more I stand firm on my feet Even if I donā€™t have the strength just to be able to take those steps
This simple pride of mine Iā€™ll let it go, let it go I turn the swaying of this crumbling pyramid into a dance When I look up at the moon tonight I want to see you there, see you there Letā€™s dance, so I can tell you ā€œIā€™m here, and Iā€™m okayā€

BiS -Ā ā€œDonā€™t miss it!!ā€ - lyrics
Oh baby, this is the ultimate, unstopping cryptic phenomenon* Oh baby, this is the ultimate, unstopping cryptic phenomenon
Whatā€™s inside?? I canā€™t wait to open it up and eat! Donā€™t you wanna know how it tastes?? But we canā€™t chew through it.
This news out of the blue leaves me afraid I canā€™t ask for hope any more And thereā€™s nothing inside about our endless connection, so donā€™t blame me
It began all of a sudden, yeah yeah yeah yeah But thereā€™s nothing I can do, Iā€™m blamed for taking someone elseā€™s space Iā€™m just a fool counting the stars, yeah yeah yeah yeah Putting a contrary stop to my life
Rock to rock my life SEX to SEX tonight Face to face tonight Love to love tonight
Oh baby, this is the ultimate, unstopping cryptic phenomenon Oh baby, this is the ultimate, unstopping cryptic phenomenon
Whatā€™s inside?? I cant wait to open it up and eat! Are you still worried about how it looks on the outside?? Donā€™t bother, itā€™s just going to keep changing
I was riding the clouds last night with next to no hope at all And thereā€™s nothing inside about how weā€™re never meant toĀ  split up, so donā€™t blame me
It began all of a sudden, yeah yeah yeah yeah But thereā€™s nothing I can do, Iā€™m blamed for taking someone elseā€™s space Iā€™m just a fool counting the stars, yeah yeah yeah yeah Putting a contrary stop to my life
Rock to rock my life SEX to SEX tonight Face to face tonight Love to love tonight
Whatā€™s inside?? Donā€™t you wanna know how it tastes?? Whatā€™s inside?? I canā€™t wait to open it up and eat! Are you still worried about how it looks on the outside?? Donā€™t bother, itā€™s just going to keep changing

Rock to rock my life SEX to SEX tonight Face to face tonight Love to love tonight

BiS -Ā ā€œTiME OVERā€ - lyrics
Uh uh uh~... Mike check yo Uh uh uh~... Itā€™s almost over Uh uh uh~... Mike check yo Uh uh uh~... Itā€™s almost over
I cared too much about the unimportant things, and I let it all go to waste Living life just right is such a hard thing to doĀ 
Itā€™s not like Iā€™m lonely or anything, but Iā€™ll smile, Iā€™ll smile, my smile is the sunshine
Like youā€™d open \ Wake up early / a curtain \ Open it wide /Ā  Donā€™t forget about \ those ordinary / days!
Oh, all the many things you gave to me are going into the trash can now Okay? Oh yeah, yeah Oh, and Iā€™m getting sick of all our memories together, butĀ  well, thatā€™s right, oh, itā€™s time over!
Uh uh uh~... Mike check yo Uh uh uh~... Itā€™s almost over
If I let myself go along with the power of the words other people say, itā€™ll all go to waste I wanna live life my own way for myself, not for anyone else
Itā€™s not like Iā€™m lonely or anything, but Iā€™ll smile, Iā€™ll smile, my smile is the sunshine
In this worldĀ  \ there will always be / a lightĀ  \ hidden somewhere / I know this isĀ  \ a cliche, but /Ā  Donā€™t give up!
Oh, thereā€™s so many things I want to say to you now, Okay? Oh yeah, yeah Oh, but Iā€™ve got a dream and Iā€™ll keep moving forward well, thatā€™s right, oh, itā€™s time over!
In this world Ā \ there will always be / a light Ā \ hidden somewhere / I know this is Ā \ a cliche, but / Donā€™t give up!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK HEY HEY HEY rocking the party in the hell KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK HEY HEY HEY Lick the tits, whack off your dick
Oh party in the - with who?? NO!! We are going to hell yes I know KNOCK KNOCK Itā€™s a villainā€™s struggle, my heart is cut to pieces Right here, weā€™re gonna sing enough to wipe offĀ  all the dirt thatā€™s stuck to us, enough to leave us totally lost -Ā

BiS - ā€œI canā€™t say NO!!!!!!!ā€ - lyrics
I canā€™t keep up the pace Iā€™m walking at, pretty good, pretty bad, itā€™s driving me mad I picked up the cup, downed it in one, then threw it at the wall next to me If Iā€™m not going to make it in time and I waste my time trying too hard, thatā€™s a one-sided kind of ignorance If Iā€™m not going to make it in time and I keep on walking and ignoring it, then Iā€™ll be able to shoutĀ ā€œit doesnā€™t make any difference to me!ā€
Even love thatā€™s lasted a thousand years will end up cooling off My body and my heart are tied downĀ  just like some kind of cult
Youā€™re still afraid of those cold eyes, you canā€™t say anything, and you just fall into place Iā€™m swept away, they canā€™t make me say anything, but this is wonderful! A paradise! So well played, keep doing it!!! Youā€™re sobbing like you want to die, but youā€™re still alive!!! Weā€™re in the same boat, we canā€™t see a future for ourselves, weā€™re weak, weak, weak - who are you?
Walking so lightly, towards the wreck of what we used to be, itā€™s a spearhead If you run away youā€™ll fall and thatā€™s where it ends, thatā€™s where everything ends If youā€™re not going to make it in time and you just waste time grieving, youā€™ll regret it for the rest of your life If youā€™re not going to make it in time and you just cry about it, nobody will come to help you
Even love thatā€™s lasted a thousand years will end up cooling off My body and my heart are tied down just like some kind of cult
Youā€™re still afraid of those cold eyes, you canā€™t say anything, and you just fall into place Iā€™m swept away, they canā€™t make me say anything, but this is wonderful! A paradise! So well played, keep doing it!!! Youā€™re sobbing like you want to die, but youā€™re still alive!!! Weā€™re in the same boat, we canā€™t see a future for ourselves, weā€™re weak, weak, weak - who are you?
Even love thatā€™s lasted a thousand years will end up cooling off My body and my heart are tied down just like some kind of cult
Youā€™re still afraid of those cold eyes, you canā€™t say anything, and you just fall into place Iā€™m swept away, they canā€™t make me say anything, but this is wonderful! A paradise! So well played, keep doing it!!! It doesnā€™t have to end when the world who stand by, wringing their hands, turn their backs on you That trauma is already dead!! The world stand by all wringing their hands, and I want to shut them all up in one go Their attacks are already dead to me!! Youā€™re sobbing like you want to die, but youā€™re still alive!!! Weā€™re in the same boat, we canā€™t see a future for ourselves, weā€™re weak, weak, weak - who are you?
