RENT, "Seasons of Love"
525,600 minutes
525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In 525,600 minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love

525,600 minutes
525,000 journeys to plan
525,600 minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died

It's time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate, remember a year
In the life of friends



Supercell, "My Dearest"
So everything that makes me whole
I offer it all to you
I'm yours

Hey, this is the first time
that I have smiled this much
I'm sure that I
took all the wrong paths
just for this day
always walked all alone…

Far, far, far as the eye can see
I’ll hold hands with you forever
we should be able to go anywhere we want
You told me I won't be alone anymore
and smiled once again

We now have something precious we must protect
But there will be a time when we won’t be able to do anything
we’ll lose all possibilities and the darkness will take you away
When despair tries to swallow you up

I will become the light that shines upon you
I won't even let the lord of this world take you away
so everything that makes me whole
I offer it all to you
I'm yours

Hey, there is so much
happiness in this world isn't there?
One day us too…

One day someone will call you a liar
if they try to hurt you with those heartless words
if the world won't even believe in you
if they try to put on a crown of thorns

I'll be your one and only ally
I know that loneliness and pain
so everything that makes me whole
I offer it all to you
I'm yours

If one day you come to understand all of me
I will surely be at that place
So even if there isn’t a piece of hope there,
if I become someone that must not exist

I know, more than anyone
that you will never forget about me
So, for you, I take my everything
and offer it all



Vienna Teng, "Recessional"
"It's so beautiful here," she says
"This moment now, this moment now"
And I never thought I'd find her here
Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed
She's looking at me, straight to center
No room at all for any other thought
And I know I don't want this
Oh I swear I don't want this
There's a reason not to want this, but I forgot

In the terminal, she sleeps on my shoulder
Hair falling forward, mouth all askew
Fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead
"Passengers missing, we're looking for you"
And she dreams through the noise, her weight against me
Face pressed into the corduroy grooves
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing, but I'm afraid to move

And the words, they're everything and nothing
I want to search for her in the offhand remarks
Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar
Who are you, echoing street signs
Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover
Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time
Oh, words like rain, how sweet the sound
"Well, anyway," she says, "I'll see you around"


Lisa Komine, "Missing You"
The thousands of stars, reflected in my eyes
scorched right into the depth of my heart
Unable to meet you ever again
I whispered your name, and closed my eyes
Even on that day, we weren't aware of the existence
of things such as promises that cannot be kept

If you assert that this is all fate
then I would traverse time to meet you
My voice will resound far and wide
as I keep on making my wish timelessly
The stardust shards gracefully fluttering down
will reach your heart for sure

The remote days sent out towards those stars
an endless dream of my yearning
Unable to meet you ever again
I locked your smile deep down inside my heart
I wonder if tracing back my memories
is my very last hope

If there were such thing as "miracles"
then I would traverse time and hold you tight
I will keep on praying timelessly
for a tight bond between us in a distant place
The melody of the waxing and waning moon
will reach your heart for sure

If you are not with me, then I won't even
be able to identify the warmth of the stars

If you assert that this is all fate
then I would traverse time to meet you
My voice will resound far and wide
as I keep on making my wish timelessly
If there were such thing as "miracles"
then I would traverse time and hold you tight
I will keep on praying timelessly
for a tight bond between us in a distant place
The stardust shards gracefully fluttering down
will reach your heart for sure


Rent, "Finale B"
There is no future
There is no past
Thank God this moment's not the last

There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today

I can't control
(Will I lose my dignity?)
My destiny
(Will someone care?)
I trust my soul
(Will I wake tomorrow)
My only goal is just to be
(From this nightmare)

There's only now, there's only here
(Without you, the hand gropes)
Give in to love or live in fear
(The ear hears, the pulse beats)
No other path, no other way
(Life goes on, but I'm gone)
No day but today
('Cause I die without you)
No day but today
(I die without you)
No day but today
(I die without you)
No day but today
(I die without you)
No day but today
(I die without you)
No day but today
(I die without you)

No day but today


Supercell, "Yakusoku wo Shiyou (Let's Promise)"
If I should ever lose my way
Please come and find me
The two of us in this great wide world
Almost like lost children, aren't we?
To confirm our feelings, we embraced tightly
And kissed so many times, all the way until dawn
I still don't know what words to say
But I just want to be with you, that's how I felt

Even when the end comes along
Please don't cry, lift your chin and laugh
I don't want to see you sad
Isn't that right? After all, I love you
So our touching lips won't be interrupted
Hold me tighter, even if I feel I'll break
I still don't know what words to say
But I just want to be with you, that's what I wished

Times when I'm lonely by myself
At those times, I won't be angry at you, so
Please, it would be best to quickly
Forget about me, and move on with your life
Let's promise that


Hikaru Utada, "Sakura Nagashi (Cherry Blossoms for the Departed)"
When you said, "They're early this year too,"
looking with disappointment
at the flowers scattering after they had just opened,
you were so beautiful.

If you were to look at me now,
what would you think
about me, living without you?

Everybody finds love
In the end

If you heard the healthy sound of of a baby's first cry
sounding again today from somewhere within the town you protected,
I'm sure you would be happy
about the footsteps following after us.

Everybody finds love
In the end

I can't believe we'll never meet again.
I haven't told you anything yet.
I haven't told you anything yet.

Looking upon the flowers scattering after they just opened,
I wonder, is this the cheerlessness of this grove?
No matter how frightening it is, I won't look away
if there is love at the end of everything.



Aimer, "Rokutousei no Yoru (Night of Faint Stars)"
When I’m hurt,
If you could hold me gently in your arms, I’d be really happy
When I slip and fall, and can’t get up by myself
Please share a bit of your courage with me
As my feelings remain unknown to you
I’m wandering in this cold town again today
I can’t even recall where this place is

On this endless night, I only have one wish
Let there be light in this starless sky
Even the things I left behind in places I can no longer return to
can change into light that will surely shine on tomorrow
Among the stardust, I met you
If we could meet again with our feelings unchanged, that would have been great
I can’t return to the past, but even my tears will change
into light that will surely shine on tomorrow

When I'm unable to sleep, it would make me really happy if you could gently grip my hand.
Please quietly assure me that morning will come, even if it's a lie.
My wish that will never come true
Tonight, the constellation has been removed and has disappeared
It's already impossible for me to go back

On this endless night, I have one wish
Let there be light in this starless sky
Even the star that is too distant to be seen clearly
will surely light up and illuminate the night sky
The miracle that I came across in the stardust
is inside the crowd and out of sight again
The night that I cried for the past that I can’t return
I’ll say good bye to it, and will surely shine on tomorrow

Though it was only a small constellation
It has been noticed that it was once here
Thank you…


Sowelu, "I Will"

It's okay if I don't stop my overflowing tears
At the end of this sadness, the light will surely shine
Stay - stay - stay - stay

Yes, I've believed in the same feeling
I've gazed at the memory that has been erased
Although I cannot meet you right now
I conceal those painful feelings

I wanna make it more clear that I can become stronger

It's okay if I don't stop my overflowing tears
At the end of this sadness, the light will surely shine
Those things that have been broken from hurrying too much
I will regain them in order to still be myself as I walk on

Hey, when I meet you again
Say 'goodbye' to me first
I believe in a newer tomorrow

The time that is passing by, without haste nor hurry
Is changing into kindness, while not forgetting the pain
This overly-innocent heart that has been hurt
I will hold it tightly for my new self to be reborn

It's okay if I don't stop my overflowing tears
At the end of this sadness, the light will surely shine
The time that is passing by, without haste nor hurry
Is changing into kindness, while not forgetting the pain

Those things that have been broken from hurrying too much
I will regain them in order to still be myself as I walk on



Maon Kurosaki, "Kimi no Kioku (Memories of You)"
The falling petals, the drops along my cheek
I'm alone in that scenery we looked together that day

I'm afraid to remember
Closing my eyes and heart
I tried many times to erase it, but every time you flood my memories

I always wished to protect you, even if I got hurt
I was watching you closer than anyone
The warmth of our embrace is still in these hands
I won't forget
No matter how many seasons pass, I'm thinking of you

I still remember when we first met
The moonlight was wavering, your sad face in profile

While carrying the sadness
Soaking the eyes and the heart
Hugging that large back, I murmured "I'm here"

These hands gently wrapping you, are for you
Don't say anything, just stay like this
I lost everything but I don't have regrets
I really thought
I couldn't love someone like this a second time

You always swore you wouldn't leave
And stroked my hair. But why aren't you by my side?
The warmth of our embrace is still in these hands
I won't forget
No matter how many seasons pass, I'm thinking of you
