DREAM & DREAM　胸に刻む
SLOW MOTION　一夜の夢
JUST ONE MORE KISS　横顔はまるで　刹那の美貌
JUST ONE MORE KISS　むせ返る香り
薄れゆく意識だけが．．．

NIGHT & NIGHT　人は踊る
ILLUMINATION　やがて眠る
JUST ONE MORE KISS　抱き合えば　そこは架空の都
JUST ONE MORE KISS　爪立てた腰は
はかない恋に揺れて

天使のざわめき　悪魔のささやき　月夜に甘いくちづけ

キラメキは届かない　つぶやいた
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
I KNOW YOU LOST YOUR HEART　もがき続け
トキメキは返らない　愛してる
I WANT YOU TO KILL ME
GOD KNOWS I LOST MY HEART　叫び続け

Just One More Kiss
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

DREAM & DREAM, cutting into my heart
SLOW MOTION, the dream of one night
JUST ONE MORE KISS, your profile is like momentary beauty
JUST ONE MORE KISS, I choke on the scent
My dimming consciousness is just…

NIGHT & NIGHT, people dance
ILLUMINATION, then they sleep
JUST ONE MORE KISS, when we embrace, wherever we are, we’re in a fantasy city
JUST ONE MORE KISS, those hips I dug my nails into
Gyrate in ephemeral love…

The stirrings of angels
The whispers of demons
Sweet kisses in the moonlight

The twinkling is unreachable; I murmured
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
I KNOW YOU LOST YOUR HEART, continue to writhe
I can’t change my heart’s pounding; I love you
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
GOD KNOWS I LOST MY HEART, continue to shout

AH∙AH ONE MORE KISS…

JUST ONE MORE KISS, your profile is like momentary beauty
JUST ONE MORE KISS, I choke on the scent

Aku no Hana
Words: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Let’s play here, let’s make this the end
Stopping life, breaking down
Lend me your hand, throw everything away
A crazy Pierrot, bad blood

You were supposed to dream, but you’re doing it badly
Ripe desire, fallin’ down
Everthing is just goodbye
A crazy Pierrot, bad blood

It’s not that I forgot my burning blood
Sweet warmth is just penetrating my eyes
Lonely days
Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blind-Blue-Boy

It’s not that I forgot my burning blood
Sweet warmth is just penetrating my eyes
This world turns in the cracks between my fingers
Hotly, I hold a glittering knife to my chest

Lonely days
Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blind-Blue-Boy
Lonely nights
Continuing to scream in the frozen night, go crazy, Blind-Blue-Boy
Lonely days
Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blue-Boy

人差し指を頭に突き立て　ブッ飛んでいる

ためらいをとめて　摩天楼　ダイブするのさ

今夜も頭ギリギリ　骨まで透けて見えた
安らぎをとめて　今宵の共犯者達へ

女の子　男の子　一筋　傷と涙を
痺れた体　すぐに楽になるさ
蝶になれ　華になれ　何かが君を待っている
愛しいものに全て　別れ告げて

－イカレタノハオレダケ　キミハスコシマトモダ－

スピードをあげて　摩天楼　ダイブするのさ
ボリュームをあげて　今宵の共犯者達へ

女の子　男の子　君には自由が似合う

蝶になれ　華になれ　素敵だ　お前が宇宙
愛しいものを全て　胸に抱いて

目覚めは今日も冷たい　月夜のガラスケース

SPEED
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I stick my index finger into my temple, and blast off
My head's always just barely biting down on the pills*
I'll dive off skyscrapers without hesitation

Tonight again, you could just barely see through my head, to my bones
No more peace and quiet, I'm off to this evening's accomplices

Girls, boys, once and for all, pain and tears
Grow easy in your numbed body
Be a butterfly, be a flower, something's waiting for you**
Say goodbye to everything you love

—I was the only one who got off on it, you're a little bit of a prude—**

Increasing my speed, I'll dive off the skyscrapers
Raising the volume, I'm off to this evening's accomplices

Girls, boys, freedom suits you
This is our last chance, let's blow ourselves up****
Be a butterfly, be a flower, it's gorgeous—you're the cosmos
Hold everything you love close to your heart
You're the cosmos

When I awaken today, I'm once again in the cold glass case of the moonlit night
Tonight again, you could just barely see through my head, to my bones

Note: I know some people are really bothered by the lyrics to this song for its suicidal references. I don't know why, but I actually have a theory that this song is about being high on speed...I think the jumping off skyscrapers is more an evocation of the state of mind of being high, so maybe you don't have to worry after all. But if the thought of Sakurai having tried speed bothers you, worry away (though I'd wait for the song "Heroin," personally.)
*The Japanese music industry sure does love to censor references to drugs in songs. The word "pill" was censored out in the original lyric booklet, as well as on all the recordings, but, as ever, the live performances gave it away. But I dunno what they were on about, seems like Sakurai had a headache, so isn't he entitled to some aspirin?
**This line is a reference to a song called "Dou ni mo Tomaranai," ("It Just Won't Stop") with lyrics by Aku Yuu and music by Tokura Shin'ichi, originally performed by the Japanese singer Yamamoto Linda. In the song, Linda sings "Ah, chou ni nare, ah hana ni nare" ("Ah, be a butterfly, ah, be a flower"). Interestingly, this song was also referred to in Dir en grey's song "audrey." Also, Aku Yuu, who wrote the lyrics to this song, also wrote the lyrics to "LOVE -Dakishimetai-," which Sakurai covered for his solo project (for a translation see the Sakurai section.)
***This line is written entirely in katakana in the original lyrics, so I put it in italics in English to preserve the original look a bit.
****The word here, "jibaku," means "suicide bomb." However, once again, I think this is much more figurative than it is literal. Sakurai is so high he'd like to just explode. Also, during recent live shows, he's often changed the words and sung "let's make love," instead of "let's blow ourselves up." He might have been trying to express a sort of peace-and-love sentiment, instead of calling to mind images of the current situation in the Middle East, but his change in the lyrics also made me think of how many times he's used explosion imagery when referring to sex, and also how many times he's written lyrics incorporating the thought "let's make love now because we're going to die soon." No, I'm not looking for sexual imagery where there isn't any, I'm just trying to reassure people that there is no reason to be excessively worried over the meaning of this lyric.

Album: Kurutta Taiyou (released 1991.2.21)
single (released: 1991.6.5)

I’ve gone mad, as I hug my knees
Licking my wounds as I spill my sap*
Running away from a siren’s whirlpool
Can I continue living like this?

I’m going mad, as I dissolve my tongue
I dream of drowning at the bottom of a red sea
I’m just thinking of gentleness
Like that, falling into sleep

Embracing the asphalt, I’m having feverish nightmare
Please, break me out of it

I’ve gone mad, I can never meet you again
Everything’s gone mad, and it doesn’t matter
Running away from a siren’s whirlpool
I’m just thinking of gentleness

In a lullaby, I heard your heartbeat
Please drive me mad

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

Embracing the asphalt, I’m having feverish nightmare
Please, break me out of it

In a lullaby, I heard your heartbeat
Please drive me mad

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

I’ve gone mad, I can never meet you again
Everything’s gone mad, and it doesn’t matter

*I think Sakurai is referring to the “sap” of the singer’s own body, which would be blood (hence licking the wounds.)

歩き出す月の螺旋を　流星だけが空に舞っている
そこからは小さく見えたあなただけが
優しく手を振る
頬に流れ出す　赤い雫は　せめてお別れのしるし

初めから知っていたはずさ戻れるなんて　だけど…少しだけ
忘れよう全てのナイフ
胸を切り裂いて　深く沈めばいい

まぶた　浮かんで消えていく残像は　まるで母に似た光
そして涙も血もみんな枯れ果て
やがて遥かなる想い

どれほど悔やみ続けたら
一度は優しくなれるかな？
サヨナラ優しかった笑顔
今夜も一人で眠るのかい？

頬に濡れ出す赤い雫は　せめてお別れのしるし
今夜　奇麗だよ月の雫で　汚れたこの体さえも
どんなに人を傷つけた
今夜は優しくなれるかな？
サヨナラ悲しかった笑顔
今夜も一人で眠るのかい？

JUPITER
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

As I walk out onto the spiral of the moon, nothing but shooting stars dance in the sky
From there, I could just see you, tiny and far away
Gently waving at me

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting

I should have known from the beginning, about return, but…just a little
I’ll forget about the knife of reality
It cuts into my heart…I should sink down deeply

On my eyelids, afterimages appear and fade, and light shines, resembling Mother
Then tears, blood, and all of you dry up
And my memories grow distant

How much longer must I keep mourning?
Can I be gentle even once?
Goodbye, gentle smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting
Tonight, in the beautiful droplets of moonlight
Even my soiled body…

How much have I hurt people?
Tonight, I wonder if I can be gentle
Goodbye, sad smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

Dress
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

In front of the mirror, I doze off with you, your fingertips light pink
Your hand unconsciously showed me its weakness, and you shut your lips
That day, we exchanged promises
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Your ears are bored by a tedious song, and you gaze out of the window
Shall I put on the dress and dance for you?* Am I crazy? Please tell me
Someday, maybe, we’ll be caressed by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Don’t forget those days that overflowed with love
Without even remembering your face
Someday, maybe, I'll be erased by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
This love and these scars are so dear
Now, they poignantly begin to ache, ah…

*The odd thing about this line is that Sakurai uses the word “boku” to mean “I.” This pronoun is usually only used by men, or by women trying to make a statement. Is Sakurai is implying cross-dressing or, a feminist girlfriend?

Die
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I spread out both my hands
If I pray that I want to forgive everything
You will fly down from the sky
That thing called the truth—
There was none of it in me
I don’t even know what the meaning is of living

(Nothing)
Ah, the stars look like they’re swimming in the sea
Ah, like they’re happily inviting me; the night is gentle

Crossing even those clouds
To the shining light, in this night
I can still fly anywhere, my body exhausted
Flapping my wings until I die

Let’s part here
There isn’t supposed to be any sadness…
Lightly, give me a last kiss
The sweet dream ends
Closing my eyes, I feel eternity
The warmth called death in my skin

(This isn’t a dream)
Ah, upon waking, far away and deep
Ah, where is this; who am I? I’ve broken through

My body is about to break apart
My voice, my love
A blue planet disappearing far away
I look down to gaze at it
Goodbye to everything…

I can never return again
To that ocean where I was born
A blue planet disappearing far away
I look down to gaze at it
Goodbye to everything…

唄
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：今井指し

どうして生きているのか　この俺は
そうだ狂いだしたい　生きてる証が欲しい
神経は落ちてくばかりで　鼓動はずっとあばれ出しそうだ
深い森に迷い　お前の名を呼ぶ
逃げ出す事もできない　立ち止まる事も知らない
聞いてくれこの声　お前を愛しているのに

抱いて慰めてくれ　そう甘く
だめだ溺れてしまう　優しい君の中
誰も泣きたいはずだろう　優しきっとされたいはずさ
熱い肉の軋み　お前にこの愛
生きる事はできる　消えていくすべを知らない
この手伸ばしている　お前を愛しているのに

ああ　この世で美しく　ああ　限りないこの命
ああ　この世で激しく　ああ　燃えるよこの命

どうして生かされてるのか　この俺は
そうだ叫びだしたい　生きている証が欲しい
神経は落ちてくばかりで　鼓動はずっとあばれ出しそうだ
熱い皮膚の裂け目　吹き出すこの愛
消える事はできる　生きてゆく意味知らない
この手伸ばしている

逃げ出す事もできない　立ち止まる事も知らない
聞いてくれこの声　お前を愛しているのに

ああ　この世で美しく　ああ　限りないこの命
ああ　この世で激しく　ああ　燃えるよこの命

Uta (Song)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Why am I living?
Yes, I want to go mad, I want proof of my existence
My nerves just keep failing me, my heartbeat is always out of control
Lost in the deep forest, I call out your name
I can't escape and I don't know how to stand still
Please listen to my voice--I'm sorry, I love you

Hold me and comfort me, sweetly like this
It's no good, I'm drowning, deep inside your gentleness
Everyone's should to want to cry, I know everyone wants to be cared for
In the groans of hot flesh, I give you my love
I can exist, I don't know how to disappear
I'm reaching out my hand--I'm sorry, I love you

Ah, this limitless life, beautifully in this world
Ah, this life is burning, ah, passionately in this world

Why am I made to live?
Yes, I want to shout out, I want proof of my existence
My nerves just keep failing me, my heartbeat is always out of control
My love gushes out into the cleft of your hot skin
I can disappear; I don't know the meaning of living
I'm reaching out my hand
I can't escape and I don't know how to stand still
Please listen to my voice—I'm sorry, I love you

Ah, this limitless life, beautifully in this world

Ah, this life is burning, ah, passionately in this world

Kanpeki na shiawase itsumo tsutsumareteita
Kurushimi no kono sekai aru hi umare koe wo ageta
Dakareteta bosei ni sayonara wo tsugeyou

Naze ikiteiru shiranai kedo sore demo hageshiku
Ikiteitai to omou aisareteiru nara

Kono yo ni ikiru anata no kodou hakanai dakedo utsukushiku
Kono yo ni ikiru subete no kodou hakanai dakedo kagayaite

Zettai no yasuragi ano hi dakareteita
Kanashimi no kono sekai aru hi anata ni tsutsumareta
Mimamoru haha no hoshi shizuka ni ima kiete
Mune no oto kikoeru tashika ni kodou furuedasu mezame da
Naze umareta wakaranai sore demo hageshiku
Ikiteitai to omou aisareteiru nara
Ikiteitai to negau aisareteiru nara

Kono yo ni ikiru anata no kodou hakanai dakedo utsukushiku
Kono yo ni ikiru subete no kodou hakanai dakedo kagayaite

鼓動
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：今井寿

完璧なし合わせ　いつも包まれていた
苦しみのこの世界　ある日産まれ声をあげた
抱かれてた母星に　さよならを告げよう
胸の音聞こえる　確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生きている　知らないけど　それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う　愛されているなら
ごめんなさい　ありがとう

この世に生きるあなたの鼓動　儚い　だけど美しく
この世に生きる全ての鼓動　儚い　だけど輝いて

絶対の安らぎ　あの日抱かれていた
悲しみのこの世界　ある日あなたに包まれた
見守る母の星　静かに今消えて
胸の音聞こえる　確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生まれた　解らない　それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う　愛されたいるなら
生きていたいと願う　愛されているなら
ごめんなさい　ありがとう

この世に生きるあなたの鼓動　儚い　だけど美しく
この世に生きる全ての鼓動　儚い　だけど輝いて

この世に生きるあなたの鼓動　悲しいことは何もない
この世に生ける愛する人　悲しいことは何もない

Kodou (Heartbeat)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I was always wrapped in perfect happiness
In this world of pain, I was born one day and lifted up my voice
I’ll say goodbye to the mother star that held me
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I’m living, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I’m sorry, thank you

Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines

That day, I was wrapped in absolute peace
One day, this world of sadness was wrapped in you
The mother star watching over me now quietly goes out
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I was born, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I want to live if I’m loved, I pray
I’m sorry, thank you

Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines

Your living heartbeat in this world—there’s nothing sad at all
A person I love can live in this world—there’s nothing sad at all

*Sakurai spelled the world “awakening” with an unusual kanji meaning “disillusionment,” or “to sober up.”

見えない物を見ようとする誤解　全て誤解だ
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：今井寿

宇宙に出かけよう　さあ手を繋いで　腐った世界のネオンが見える
いつものように　歌い狂って　踊りまくるのさ

籠の中の俺は上手く鳴けるか　真っ白な世界の女神手まねく
今夜は特に　気が狂れそうに

誰かが生きれば　泣いてやるさ　いつでも
誰かが死ぬなら　笑いかけてやるのさ
真実を

夢を売れば　俺は絶望の中
踊らされた　俺は傷ついている

俺は仲間と　歌い狂って　踊りまくるのさ
楽しい夜さ　気が狂れそうに

誰かが生きれば　泣いてやるさ　いつでも
誰かが死ぬなら　笑いかけてやるのさ

真実を知るには　此処にいても見えない
真実を知るなら　此処にいてはいけない

真実を　真実を　真実を　嘘を　嘘を　嘘を

Mienai mono wo miyou to suru gokai subete gokai da
(If you try to see the invisible, it’s a misunderstanding; everything is a misunderstanding)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Let's go out into space, and let's hold hands—we can see the neon of the rotten world from here
Like always, we sing and go mad, dancing with abandon

Can you hear me scream from inside this box? The pure white goddess of this world beckons
I'm about to go crazy, especially tonight

While a man lives, he's always crying
Only when he dies does he laugh out loud
The truth…

When I sell my dreams, I'm in the depths of despair
I was made to dance, though I'm injured

With my compatriots, I sing and go mad, dancing with abandon
It's an exciting night; I'm about to go crazy

While a man lives, he's always crying
Only when he dies does he laugh out loud

Even if you're here, you can't see the truth
When you learn the truth, you can't stay here anymore

The truth…the truth…the truth…lies…lies…lies…
