あなたを知りたくて
わたしは髪を伸ばす
ロングヘアが好きだって
そっと盗み聞きをした
気づいてよ気づいてよ
眩しさはここにある
もったいないね
わたしのほうが光ってるのに
もったいないね
あの子よりもずっと笑わせるのに
ねぇ、もったいないね
あなたも気になってる
わたしの視線に触れて
ふと逸らした横顔に
戸惑いと期待の陰
見つけてよ 見つけてよ
本物はここにいる
もったいないね
わたしのほうが秘めてるのに
もったいないね
あの子はあなたを狂わせるのに
ねぇ、もったいないね
退屈でしょ？本当は
夢を見させてあげたいけど
甘い声に惑わされて
あなたは何度も見逃すから
It’s too late!
もったいないね
わたしのほうが光ってるのに
もったいないね
あの子よりもずっと笑わせるのに
ねぇ、もったいないね

Mottainai Ne
RinaLia
Pearl is a 2-track EP by RinaLia that explores the duality of light and shadow in everyday emotions.
The EP features Cotton Candy, a feel-good retro disco-pop track filled with uplifting grooves and warmth, alongside Mottainai Ne, a 90s-inspired R&B song that captures emotional tension and vulnerability.
Through these contrasting tracks, Pearl expresses the subtle beauty of fleeting moments, from small joys to unspoken feelings.
Like a pearl formed over time, the EP reflects how emotions and experiences gradually shape something meaningful and beautiful.
