Lyric
Mud-Covered Lemon Squash ~No-Side Romance~ (feat. HIROYUKI)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
走り出した季節は 誰にも止められない
君の嘘も 僕の傷も 全部抱きしめて！
放課後のグラウンド 土埃と汗の匂い
見上げた夕暮れの空は あの日と同じ赤色
傷だらけの背中を 冷たい手で触れた君は
二つの名前の狭間で 震える小鳥みたいだった
「近づかないで」って突き放す
その強がりの裏側にある 本当の素顔（きみ）
仮面ごとかばってみせるよ
俺のタックルは 誰よりしつこいから！
泥だらけの青春（スクラム） 君へとペネトレイト！
見えない壁もルールも 今は土間飛び越えていく
喫茶店の隅っこ レモンスカッシュの魔法
重なる唇に 鳴り響け No-Side Romance！
雑踏のスクランブル ネオンが瞬く街角
少し背伸びしたワンピース 石鹸の甘い香り
不器用なエスコート 笑い合うショーウィンドウ
ポケットの中のフィルムに 永遠を閉じ込めたね
「大事にしたい」って潤んだ瞳
その言葉だけで 世界は色を変えていく
理屈じゃない 歴史でもない
ただ真っ直ぐに 君だけを守りたい
汗まみれの純情（ステップ） 心をパスして！
大人たちの思惑（ライン）なんて 蹴り飛ばしてしまえ
ナイショのファーストキス 熱い吐息のシンフォニー
君がくれた奇跡 終わらない No-Side Romance！
(Guitar & Saxophone Solo)
君の涙がこぼれる前に
俺のこの腕で 強く強く抱き寄せるよ
もう一人じゃない
笛（ホイッスル）は鳴ったんだ 二人のために！
泥だらけの青春（スクラム） 君へとペネトレイト！
見えない壁もルールも 今は土間飛び越えていく
喫茶店の隅っこ レモンスカッシュの魔法
重なる唇に 鳴り響け No-Side Romance！
Wow wow... 君だけを
Yeah yeah... 守り抜くよ
泥だらけの靴で 走り出そう 君と二人で

SHIONO, Twilight Master
Was it his pride that was stolen, or his heart? A hyper-sweet, adrenaline-fueled rugby scrum of youth, rushing through the mud and blood of 1980s Japan!
Set against the backdrop of the Arakawa River in the late Showa era-a time shadowed by historical divides and street violence-comes the official theme song for the intense coming-of-age novel, Arakawa No-Side Requiem by Twilight Master. The story follows Tada-hiko, a passionate rugby boy, and Su-yeon, a beautiful girl carrying the heavy weight of an invisible societal wall.

"Mud-Covered Lemon Squash ~No-Side Romance~" captures the explosive heat of their star-crossed love. Shifting from the harsh scent of blood and mud in street brawls to the bittersweet taste of a first kiss in a retro coffee lounge, this track perfectly embodies the golden age of 1980s J-POP.
With bright brass sections and an energetic, fast-paced melody, the song illustrates a clumsy yet pure-hearted boy and girl trying to penetrate the unreasonable boundaries drawn by adults, armed with nothing but honest love and a rugby step. Experience the ultimate emotional youth love song that will burn brightly in the hearts of anyone who remembers the relentless passion of that era.

Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
