1. "What comes to my mind..." (1990)
Oh, I had decided to forget it already though...
Oh, it's still vivid... What comes to my mind is...
Hey, it's raining today again.
How long has it been raining now?
Blue drops are running down the window glass,
tears are falling inside of me.
Maybe someday... a little more later,
my heart and the sky would be sunny again.
"I'm sorry, I could not meet you anymore"
I want to erase such words of yours, too.
Oh, I can still feel your embrace.
Oh, as if traces were left over my skin even after you've gone away.
So I can't wear my summer shirt, the one I've worn in those days with you.
Well, you never appeared to be joyous since that morning.
Because you had been scooping and tearing your words in your head
to tell me "the end" at the very last minutes of that day.
Hey, I cherish everything that has made me happy until today.
In July I will take a train and go to the sea to let the waves carry all away.
Oh, together we vowed to forget such painful days.
Oh, we got closer & closer and we kissed without even getting off the bike.
Oh, I have decided to forget it all already though...
Oh, it's still vivid... What comes to my mind is...
just only... one...
What comes to my mind is...
just only... you...
(So I sing this...) for you...

2. "Never stop flowing" (1990)
My Carrie, you don't have to cry anymore.
Hey, looking at the light of the blue moon,
why are you frightened so much?
I'll protect you.
My Carrie, about tomorrow's things,
I also don't know how they'd flow.
But... I just do as much as I can.
Surely fun days will come along again!
Through your trembling eyes I can see your worries.
The bread in our hands is hard, but our hope softens it.
How about singing & playing Rhapsody together?
Sha la la la, instead of sweet jam...
Sha la la la, we can spread our dreams...
Sha la la la la, we taste them with meals...
It's OK to have such a day, isn't it? like tonight.., tonight...
My Carrie, have you minded about that
you can't buy any new dress, wearing old shoes?
But no one would laugh at your appearance
as your gaze flows smoothly and shines like diamonds.
Whenever my fingers comb your hair,
your lovely smile comes back little by little.
Before deciding our future,
how about dancing & playing Rhapsody together?
Sha la la la la, in my arms...
Sha la la la la, according to our rhythm...
Sha la la la la, you can reborn infinitely...
I want to see that moment again, tonight...
Sha la la la la, in my arms...
Sha la la la la, according to our rhythm...
Sha la la la la, you can reborn infinitely...
I want to see that moment again, tonight... tonight...

11. "To put my tears in a treasure box" (1992)
It's a very common thing.
It's also a very lonely thing though...
If I wouldn't have forced myself to stop longing for him,
I guess that I would have never moved towards the future all along.
I had to realize this today, didn't I?
All my cells were suffering while I was unaware of that.
What if I could release such feelings from my body?
When I choose my clothes or tie my hair or whatever...
maybe I wouldn't have to sadly remember his face any more.
It was just impossible for my dreams about him to come true.
It was crazily hard to accept that fate for me falling in love.
But I know I'd better be brave to put my tears in a treasure box.
It's a very common thing.
It's also a very sad thing though...
All the memories of us from the old days
have been shining into my soul and still.
But, well... those might have been already vanished in him, perhaps.
Did I have to realize this today? Or didn't I...?
Rather than showing my scars,
I'd need strength to change myself...
When I wake up and watch the news in the morning or whatever...
if only I could think positively through the day
forgiving my negativity without blaming myself,
maybe my pain would disappear...
I just tried to be better too hard for too long; it has been
like when innocent, but reckless kids seek love.
So I know I'd better be calm to put my tears in a treasure box.
When he is in front of me and we are surrounded by other people,
what if I'd never feel like to deceive...
to act and to smile to hide my sorrow anymore?
When I wake up and watch the news in the morning or whatever...
if only I could think positively through the day
forgiving my negativity without blaming myself,
maybe my pain would disappear...
I just tried to be better too hard for too long;
it has been like when innocent, but reckless kids seek love.
So I know I'd better be calm to put my tears in a treasure box.
