想成为相爱的恋人 (私たちになりたくて)

自從與你相遇後,內心深處充滿溫暖的光芒
戀愛是痛苦的,只能靜悄悄地閉目忍受
沒有矯柔造作,只有極普通的辭藻
但當回憶一刻,淚就湧出來了

戀愛是lonely lonely heart
孤獨的我,lonely lonely heart
快樂與哀愁在何時
也只會留在我的夢中

戀愛是lonely lonely heart
但終會有天
被你那雙強而有力的手緊抱
想在一起

在你的身邊,我一直期待著的
卻從未被留意,多少次嗟怨
暗戀一個人,為何這樣痛苦
只屬於我的孤單,就像是患上重感冒般……

現在是baby baby love
我懇求baby baby love
在快要向寂寞低頭的時候
請看一看手中的鏡子

現在是baby baby love
在哭過的晚上依然相信
終有人能一起笑著緬懷往昔
想在一起

誰也不知曉的那秘密眼淚
可拭掉的人,只有你
與我相比,你也許比我更希望大家能夠在一起

明日へ架ける橋

有人 正伸出雙手
但是我現在已擁有了承受傷害的勇氣
如此就能比昨天更堅強一些 oh yes熾熱地

通往明日的橋樑
可搭建到 任何地方喲
即使受挫 也一定能到達的

不論夢想被摧毀多少次
只要睜開眼 你就在那兒
我就能畫出比昨日更鮮明的色彩 oh yes 強烈地

通往明日的橋樑
染上了彩虹的顏色
只要邁步向前 一定能夠到達的

只要有互相渴求的心 就一定能夠相逢的
那曾失去的光芒 正閃耀著啊

通往明日的橋樑
可搭建到 任何地方喲
即使受挫 也一定能到達的

通往明日的橋樑
染上了彩虹的顏色
只要邁步向前 一定能夠到達的

雖然現在很苦 但仍有你在…

風のららら

在海風中感覺到你
銀色的波浪似乎快要將我倆溶化般
就這樣 時間啊 請就此停止吧
城市看起來變的好遠好渺小啊
我絕不再放開你 我已決定你了喔

在燦爛的季節裏
對於已到達的未來
我不再迷惘 相信著你的眼眸
風的la la la

對於滿懷的不安
隱藏淚水的昨日
都已成為遙遠的回憶 現在我能說
風的la la la

蜂湧而上 看不見的不安
曾試著放棄過 唯有一件事
波浪聲 蕩漾著我的心啊
再度湧現 對你的思念
填滿了我的情感 化作光芒

愛鬧彆扭的那些日子
與你同遊的沙灘
一直 都沒有改變
風的la la la

被你牽著的手 我緊緊回握著
感受到真實的心情
與最重要的人 現在我能說
風的la la la

對著凝視的笑顏
不知為何地 突然想將你抱入懷裏
在風中搖曳 此刻再一次
乘著我熱切的思念
我已決定你了喔

在燦爛的季節裏
對於已到達的未來
我不再迷惘 相信著你的眼眸
風的la la la

I've wanted to see you for a long time

(All) When I was waving to you is a most precious moment,
I want to remember forever.
On days I laugh lightly, and days tears spill out,
I met only you.

(Peach) We put our hands on each other,
So our hearts won't be separated any more.
It doesn't matter how painful it is between us.

(Lily) When I come to like someone,
The sadness goes on increasing,
But my desire won't stop.

(Daisy) You are here, I am here,
With just that, we smile at each other.

(All) Closer than words, faster than a flash,
I want it to get to you.

(Peach) Our feelings gaze at each other.
We tremble at the setting sun on a sloping road.
No one else understands. Embrace your weakness.

(Lily) Each time I love you strongly, in earnestness I'll increase it.
Is that the meaning of being in love?

(Daisy) Walking with you, the ordinary scenery,
I wonder when it will become special.

(All) For us to meet, a miracle went across,
Inside the wind, it becomes love.

~Solo~

(Peach) When I was waving to you is an irreplaceable moment,
I want to remember forever.

(All) On days I laugh lightly, and days tears spill out,
I was going on for you.

A Flower There's Only One In The World

I looked at all kinds of flowers
Lined up in front of the flower shop
Each person prefers a different type
But they’re all beautiful
None of them fight
Over who’s the best
They just stand up tall and proud
In their buckets

So how come we people
Want to compare ourselves like this?
Why do we want to be the best
When everybody’s different?

Yes, each of us is
A flower there’s only one of in the whole world
Each of us has their own seeds
So let’s just do our best
To make them grow into flowers

There are people whose smiles are strained
Because they’re completely lost
But it doesn’t matter
Because every flower that’s worked so hard to grow is beautiful
Eventually someone came
Out of the flower shop
Carrying a bunch of flowers in all different colours
His face looked so happy

I didn’t know his name
But he gave me a smile
Like a flower that had bloomed
In a place nobody had noticed

Yes, each of us is
A flower there’s only one of in the whole world
Each of us has their own seeds
So let’s just do our best
To make them grow into flowers

Little flowers and big flowers
Not one is the same as another
You don’t need to be number one
You’re special, the only one of you, to begin with

Kiroro-3人の写真

 A photo was just put on display A photo of three
Like in a dream The gradually fainting, beautiful picture

When the 3 are together We feel so at ease
As we play beautiful harmonies

Back then, encircled by flowers The honeybees that were enjoying themselves
Please don’t show your tears Upon graduation, we’re still forever friends

At lunch time We open our boxed lunch
Time passed by with our simple conversations

Don’t speak as if our youth has ended, please?
The youth of the 3 only begins from now

Now and then, as pictures form in the sky The times when stars are gathering
That innocence matches your smile My dearest friend

“For now, we won’t get to see each other, would we?” After receiving farewell in tears
While time has passed The feelings are still the same!
Now and then, as pictures form in the sky The times when stars are gathering
That innocence matches your smile My dearest friend

Script Excerpt

Here is a script excerpt from episode 6, in which we get a good look at some aspects of Momoko's personality.
Momoko is in denial about her feelings for the ill-mannered Yousuke, since up to now all three girls have been competing for the attentions of the soft-spoken Yanagiba, on the same soccer team.  But Momoko accidentally revealed that she possessed some pictures of Yousuke, the freshman soccer star.  Yuri and Hinagiku have teased Momoko about this all afternoon.    They suspect that Momoko might like Yousuke a bit more than she's willing to admit.  Escaping the teasing, Momoko goes outside, but there she is approached by Shizuka, one of Momoko's classmates...
Shizuka: "Excuse me..."
Momoko: "Oh?  What's going on, Shizuka-chan?!"
Shizuka shyly hands Momoko a small envelope.
Momoko: "What?  What is this?"
Shizuka: "I'd like you to give this to someone for me.  You're the only one I can ask to do this."
Momoko takes the letter.
Momoko: "Could this be... a love letter??"
Momoko is amazed her shy friend is being so aggressive.
Momoko: "Wow!  I'm impressed, Shizuka-chan!"
Momoko begins rolling her eyes, and teasing Shizuka.
Momoko: "Wooo-wooo-wooo!  Hot-hot-hot!"
Shizuka doesn't seem to mind the teasing.  She just looks at her feet, smiling.
Momoko: "So, who is your guy?!  Is he someone I know?"
Momoko looks upward, thinking.   She realizes she feels like a big sister all of a sudden.
Momoko: "He'd better not be some middle-aged man! Being a quiet, modest person, you could be vulnerable to older men, but don't do it!"
(Momoko uses the word "otonashi" to describe how Shizuka is "quiet" -- but "Shizuka" itself is also a word meaning "quiet".  Momoko straight-facedly delivers similar puns on her friend's name twice more in this episode...)
Shizuka: "It's Fuuma-kun..."
Momoko is about to continue giving "big sisterly advice" to Shizuka when it hits her.
Momoko: "WHAT?!"
Shizuka: "Fuuma... Yousuke-kun..."
Momoko's face goes slack.  The camera switches for a moment to the neighboring soccer field, where Yousuke has just scored a goal.
Yousuke: "All right!!!!"
Momoko looks very subdued.
Momoko: "Oh... so it's him... so it's... for Yousuke..."
Shizuka's voice begins to plead.
Shizuka: "Please, Momoko-chan...  Can you give it to Fuuma-kun?"
Momoko seems as if she wishes she were elsewhere.
Momoko: "What?  Uh... sure."
Shizuka: "Really?  Thank goodness!  Thank you!"
Suddenly Momoko puts up a cheerful front.
Momoko: "Oh, no problem!  No problem! You're always helping me with homework and all..."
Shizuka seems to be about to interrupt Momoko... she has something else to say.  Momoko finally stops talking...
Shizuka: "I..."
Momoko: "What?"
Shizuka: "I...  about Fuuma-kun..."
Shizuka takes a quivering breath.
Shizuka: "Well, I don't know how to put it, but..."
She pauses again.
Shizuka: "...I don't know if he could ever be interested in me... I don't know about that, but..."
She looks shyly downward.
Shizuka: "I just hope that he'll finally notice that there's someone who is interested in him..."
Suddenly Shizuka comes alive...
Shizuka: "Well!   Thank you for doing this!"
Momoko seems to have something else she wanted to say to Shizuka... but Shizuka is already skipping away.
Momoko: "Oh, Shizuka-chan..."
Again the camera shows Yousuke playing nearby.
Yousuke: "Not so slow!  Get to the front faster!"
Momoko is visibly shaken by all this.  You can tell that her brain is working as fast as it can to process this new situation.  She can hardly believe it.
Momoko: "You never know what might happen next in this world!  Imagine... there's a girl interested in Yousuke!"
Momoko hears a voice from nearby.   Momoko didn't realize she'd spoken the previous sentence aloud.
Hinagiku: "Is that okay with you?"
Yuri: "Are you sure you don't mind?"
Momoko looks around, and there on the storage shed roof are her two friends Yuri (Angel Lily) and Hinagiku (Angel Daisy) who have obviously been spying on her the whole time.  Momoko is utterly aghast.
Momoko: "What? Oh my God!  How long have you been there??"
Hinagiku: "Are you sure you want to go through with this?"
Yuri: "If you felt reluctant about doing this favor, you should have told her right away..."
Momoko is indignant.
Momoko: "What are you talking about?!"
Momoko's two friends speak to her slowly, calmly, as one might address a child who is holding a sharp object...
Hinagiku: "That love letter is for Yousuke, right?"
Momoko: "Ummmm....."
Yuri: "Momoko-san, deep down, I think perhaps you are not happy with that."
Momoko begins to bluster.
Momoko: "Don't talk nonsense!  Like I told you before, there is absolutely nothing between me and Yousuke!"
Momoko realizes she can win this argument if she points out something...
Momoko: "Whenever he sees me, he calls me "Momopi" and we get into a big fight!"
Hinagiku: "There you go, that's what I was talking about."
Momoko is suddenly baffled.  Momoko has no idea what Hinagiku means.
Momoko: "What?"
Yuri: "That's right!  They say that when a couple fights, it means their relationship is strong."
Now, Momoko is about at the end of her patience.  She's yelling.
Momoko: "I said there is NO ROMANCE, understand?!"
Suddenly, a soccer ball - WHAM! - hits Momoko right on the forehead.  She goes flat down on the ground, in a spiral-eyed daze.  Yousuke rushes up.
Yousuke: "I'm sorry!  Oh, hey, are you all right, Momo-pi?!"
Momoko, laying there, can only get out a few garbled words...
Momoko: "I... I... I hate you..."
Yousuke doesn't realize how annoyed Momoko is when he calls her "Momopi"... or maybe he does, since he seems to do this sort of thing just to annoy her -- and to get her attention...
Yousuke: "Momo-pi?  Hey!  Are you okay?!"
Momoko suddenly springs to her feet, murder in her eyes.  Yousuke runs.
Yuri and Hinagiku: "Momoko...!  Momoko...!"
Momoko is pursuing Yousuke in a figure-eight path while Yuri and Hinagiku watch, amused.  Momoko is spewing out a stream of near-hysterical verbal abuse at Yousuke, non-stop.  She's done this before.
