Ubugoe [Album]

High Priest Kuuya

Lyrics & Composition: Kazutoshi Sakurai

"No way. There's no way something could be that good"
I muttered while watching the end credits
"Well, I guess that's what's good about movies"
I said stuffing the last of my popcorn in my mouth
What am I saying now of all times?
It was all a lie from the start
I know that but am enjoying it

Since junior high, my friend
was a sharp striker on the junior teams
then he injured his knees during a match one day
and has been out of the spotlight since then
What am I saying now of all times?
Life is a gamble, isn't it?
Someone cries and someone laughs

What's fun about everything going as you want, as you wish!?
Unexpected happenings make me stronger
Today I'm feeling a bit grateful for the days I can say "Good Morning"
Maybe today I'll listen to John Lennon

"I'm trying so hard, and yet why?
Not a single person appreciates it"
You say with bloodshot eyes
The grass is greener on the other side
What are you saying now of all times?
This world's probably all unfair
We have today to crawl out of that

Even if everything goes as you want, as you wish, what awaits you!?
Unexpected happenings make you stronger
Just like High Priest Kuuya
let's give shape to the words we speak
and make our wishes come true little by little

What's fun about everything going as you want, as you wish!?
The misdirected bashings too will make you stronger
Today I'm feeling seriously grateful for the days I can say "Good Morning"
Today maybe while I read the Theory of Happiness
I'll listen to John Lennon

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Sakurai Kazutoshi

"Iya sonna umai hanashi ga aru wake nee daro" tte
Endo rooru minagara tsubuyaite
"Maa sore ga eiga no ii toko ka" tte
Nokori no poppukoon wo hoobatta
Nani wo imasara
Hajime kara zenbu uso daro
Sore wo shouchi de tanoshinde'n da

Tomodachi wa chuugaku no koro kara
J-kabu de kirekire no sutoraikaa
Aru hi no shiai de hiza wo kega shite
Sore irai issen kara toozakatta
Nani wo imasara
Jinsei wa iwaba gyanburu daro
Dareka ga naite dareka ga warau

Omoidoori negaidoori itte nani ga tanoshii!?
Yoteigai no hapuningu ga boku wo ookiku suru
Kyou mo "Good Morning" ieru nichijou ni choppiri kansha shite
Kyou wa Jon Renon demo kikou ka

"Konna ni ganbatteru noni doushite?
Darehitori kyouka shite kurenai" to
Kimi wa me wo akaku shinagara
Tonari no shiba wa aoku miechau
Nani wo imasara
Kono yo wa subete fubyoudou kamo
Soko kara haidasu tame kyou ga aru

Omoidoori negaidoori itta tote nani ga matsu!?
Yosougai no hapuningu ga kimi wo ookiku suru
Marude Kuuya Shounin
Itta kotoba sugatakatachi ni shite
Sukoshizutsu negai wo kanaeyou

Omoidoori negaidoori itte nani ga tanoshii
Matohazure no bassingu mo kimi wo ookiku suru
Kyou mo "Good Morning" ieru nichijou ni honki de kansha shite
Kyou wa koufukuron demo yominagara
Jon Renon demo ikou ka
空也上人
