Better Half

ano toki  ano bashou de  anata ni aeta koto
doshaburi no ame no naka  kokoro mo furueteta
(cold & sweet & sweet) konna kimochi
(cold & sweet & sweet) wasureteta
	In that far off time, at that far off place, I met you
	In the middle of the pouring rain, my heart, too, trembled.
	(cold & sweet & sweet) This feeling...
	(cold & sweet & sweet) I've forgotten

HIKI-KI ga daisuki de  USOTSUKI ga daikirai de
hitotsu shiru tabi  anata to chikaku naru
(love & sweet & sweet) SUPI-DO agete
(love & sweet & sweet) hikareteku
	I love airplanes and hate liars
	In the time I knew this one thing, I became closer to you
	(love & sweet & sweet) Go faster!
	(love & sweet & sweet) We're being pulled together

koi no junbi ga  dekitemo iwanai
tsumi no nai kotoba ni kaete
itsuma de kono mama de suteki ga tsuzuku no
kudaranai hanashi mo kikitai
	I can do love's preparations, but I won't say it
	Exchange it for a word without sin
	Forever in this way, wonder will continue
	I want to hear a trifling story, too

Everyday DOKIDOKIshite HARAHARAshite watashi ga kagayaku
sekaijuu de ichiban  shiawase ka mo anata ni aete
	Everyday my heart pounds, my pace rushes, I'm glittering
	Whether or not I'm the happiest throughout the world, I'll meet you.

kumo no kirema kara  aozora nozokukoro
owari ni shitakunakute iiwake* sagashiteru
(blue & sweet & sweet) kaeshitakunai
(blue & sweet & sweet) demo ienai
	Blue sky is peeking out from the break in the clouds
	I don't want it to come to an end, and I'm searching for an excuse
	(blue & sweet & sweet) I don't want to return
	(blue & sweet & sweet) but I can't say it.	

sono SHATSU ii ne, toka  boushi ga SUTEKI, toka
taai no nai kotoba ni nosete
anata ga suki dato  kitto BAREteru
gikochinai watashi ga kuyashii
	"That shirt is nice, don't you think?" "That hat is splendid!"
	Riding on altruistic words
	"I love you" surely will slip out
	Clumsy as I am, I'm frustrated!

Everyday DOKIDOKIshite HARAHARAshite shiawase ga kuru yo
sekaijuu de ichiban  BURU- no SHATSU ga yoku niau yo
	Everyday my heart pounds, my pace rushes, happiness is coming
	The bluest shirt throughout the world suits me well.

moshimo kono yo ni  owari ga kitemo
umarete yokatta to omou yo
sorenara omoikiri  ikiteyukitai
anata no kokoro ga chikaku de
	And even though an end is coming to this life
	I think being born was good
	So then, I want to continue living to the fullest
	Your spirit is close

Everyday DOKIDOKIshite HARAHARAshite watashi ga kagayaku
Everyday sagashite ita  yatto mitsuketa  shiawase no KATACHI
sekaijuu de ichiban shiawase ka mo anata ni aete
	Everyday my heart pounds, my pace rushes, I'm glittering
	Everyday I searched, and I've finally found it -- the form of happiness
	Whether or not I'm the happiest throughout the world, I'll meet you.
