1. "Into the Sea of Time" (1997)
Closing my eyes, and diving into the Sea of Time.
When I truly express myself from the inside out,
dreams start flowing into me,
pulsating in my body like energy waves.
Your fingers...
your lips...
the warmth I've longed for,
it's all here, now.
Closing my eyes, and diving into the Sea of Time.
Healing all my scars just being in your arms.
Woo woo woo ...

2. "Let's go mushroom" (1995)
You seem cold about me, don't you?
So I took a piece of magic,
I put dried Shiitake mushrooms in my pocket and got out from here*.
When water is applied on my dried Shiitakes,
their size increases several times, so big that I can fly by riding them.
Tonight, to look for a car where you are sleeping in,
I use my psychic ability to fly to the forest in the future.
Let's go mushroom.
Let's warp next to you.
Stereotypes interfere with love (so, forget them).
Riding on Shiitake and slipping into your dreams.
My breath would soak into your heart even beyond this dimension.
When you slowly woke up from your foggy daze,
suddenly, you noticed me sitting by your left side.
You must have been blown away in surprise.
Buoyancy of mushrooms... It cannot be explained well.
It might look like UFO in the silent sky, above sleeping people.
Oh, please continue your sleep without worrying,
I came here because I just wanted to be by your side.
Yes, that's right: you're only dreaming now.
Let's go mushroom.
Even if I could warp next to you, and
even if I have ESP (extrasensory perception),
I should not take your heart now.
After riding on Shiitake and slipping into your dreams,
I prayed that my gaze would become engraved
in your memory beyond your logic.
Hey, tell me Atlantis:
why I cannot see this person yet?
Let's go mushroom.
Let's go back to the bed in my room.
Even if I have ESP (extrasensory perception),
I should not take his heart now.
Soon I have to ride on Shiitake and come back to my reality**,
but my breath would soak and remain
in your heart even beyond this dimension.
Woo woo woo woo ...
Notes:
* This place in the present time, which is Japan in the year 1995 for the protagonist of the story.
**
The dream has been dreamt in 1995, the content of the dream unfolds sometime after the year 2000.
Therefore, the female protagonist of the story, moves between sometime after the year 2000 (her future) and the year 1995 (her present time in her waking life).

3. "Souls' Marriage" (1994)
Nice to meet you, but it's not the first time, is it?
When I look into your eyes,
I could say: "I know something about you already"
We broke up in Heian Time; 1,000 years ago, and...
Now, our romance blooms again in Heisei Time.
Are you laughing at the Love,
which repeatedly unfolded through our past lives?
Oh! Flames are swaying!
The silk is sliding on my skin.
Why is this passion lapping us like waves?
The red thread has never been torn since our past lives.
To meet and compete again beyond time,
What kind of fate have we been gone from?
Many mysterious dreams are arriving from outer space.
Unexpectedly solved,
but the waves are still raising, like a blazing wind.
Oh... Flames are swaying...
I can see the heat haze on your back.
Oh, I remember the shadow of you that emerged from the moon...
A distant person, whom has been longed for, since the past lives.
I'm like a mermaid returning to the sea.
Oh... I'm embracing... while holding the flame.
The silk is sliding on my skin.
Why is this passion so fierce?
The red thread has never been torn since our past lives.
