Lights
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
It’s okay to be alone one more time
Looking at the beautiful light
But I have to visit the night again
Descending into the darkness
In due time everything will be illuminated
I don’t need anything
In order to keep myself from being burried in sorrow
I walk intently
I hope to become even stronger
Passing through the shadows that extinguish the light
Many times my heart lost it’s way
Being stabbed by this pain
Many times have I walked into this darkness
Stamping my feet, I bite off these restrains
And waited for the star
I lose the destination I had before my eyes
Everything vanished without a sound
Vividly drawing a scenery
So that it doesn’t fade into mono[chrome colors]
It’s alright it it changes
I see the simple truth
On the day that it’s faintly visible
Many times my struggles vanished
There is nobody I fear
Many times I stretched my hand out to that place
Grasping the things I prayed for and looked up to
Repeating the dreams of the night

SING A SONG
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
Because your singing voice is crying
It dyed the white of june into green
In a burned down field of green
I can hear Peter Pan and Dumbo in the distance
We’ll ride a boat from here
rowing across the clear ocean
This way we’ll be alone, just like the sky
but it doesn’t matter, we’ll be fine either way
Everyone’s heart is the same when they melt together
as you dye them green with your voice
Once upon a time, the shadows of the buildings
will turn this black world green
Your voice dyes everything in green
allowing everyone to return to far-off times
Your voice soft, cool, and yet it’s lonely
allowing everyone to return to far-off times
We’ll be fine what happens
cuz we’ll be the ones who bite the apple
Because your singing voice is crying
It dyed the white of june into green
We’ll be fine what happens
cuz we’ll be the ones who bite the apple

Sketch for Summer
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri & Questlovers Translation: Jonathan Wu
The waves wash away, the dream hadn’t finished
it’s so relentless that I can’t even rest
So if I can’t go back now, then at least
let me listen to this sound
The days seem far away as I run past them
But as I reach that beatifully clear summer, I think
has all the color faded?
Before I knew it, I forgot how to cry
A dried up heart and,
a fleeting memory.
After you’d been taken away
I had to gather everything
I’ll repaint this scenery once again
and go far, far away into the distance
I left those summertimes behind
and as the sun set in the sky, I stood alone shivering
If forgetting everthing is the answer
then my heart will become a lie
As the fleeting time passes
The once deep words fade as I
see those two eyes
How could I forget how to smile?
Losing my dream,
as the time fades away.
After I’d been taken away
On the day that I’d taken back my heart
I’ll simply repaint this scenery
and go far, far away into the distance
The change had come natural to me
because I simply hadn’t noticed
And now I can’t describe the
true feelings, faraway in eternity
One day
The day my wish is reached
A single drop of laughter
will reside on my heart
As I shoulder my sadness
I’ll repaint this scenery once again
Going further and further, long and longer
into the far off distance

The Sound of Shoes
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri & Questlovers Translation: Jonathan Wu
In my heard I can feel the
burned colors fading away
So I’ll chase the wind of freedom
to a far away city
The purple sky
always has a different shape
I’ll sit here and wait untill
I can show it to someone
Tomorrow I’ll
seach again for a small seed
of passion
On this journey
I open my ears
so that I can hear the whisper
of happiness
like the sound of my shoes
The crescent moon has cooled me down
as I am waiting for the noisy morning to come
No mater how many mornings will come
every one of the will be new and different
Once more
I’ll go to you
my shoes will sound again
The vast big earth
thought me that I must first
return to that place
So if perhaps a small passion
could burn once again
even when
the passion burns out
I can follow the wind of freedom
so that I can smile gently like this
Waving my hand, I look at my feet
and hear the sound of my shoes

Voice
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
The silence repeats in the spreading shadow
I have forgotten where the radiance had begun
Unable to count my limit I embrace my weakness
While I can still laugh, I hold down my heart
Fighting the ordinary while my sigh cools off
The warmth of our joined hands has dissappeared
Unable to count my limit I embrace my sadness
Combining understanding with belief
I order to interupt the dried up memories, the words have to disappear
After a small prayer these feelings will shine brightly
Remembering and spreading
the time when that feeling was born
If I keep walking and rely on the distance the truth will overflow
I keep listening to the voice of my heart so that it can come out
With constantly teary eyes, I become of the voice that always shouts
The world in which that illusion was visible is certainly stale
[But] the colors will keep coming into it
I wander in distress untill my feat have to stop
Still searching to find that relaxing kindness
Even in the cold rain I’d become accustomed to the downpour
Searching for the warmth of the wind
My heart trembles when it tries to answer
Passing up sleep on a daily basis, my eyes begin to reflect
Spreading without losing
the time when that feeling was born
If I keep walking and rely on the distance the truth will overflow
I keep listening to the voice of my heart so that it can come out
With constantly teary eyes, I become of the voice that always shout
If only my voice could recover from the continuing pile of lies that I lost sight of
If the truth echoes my thoughts, I could entrust everything to it
The world in which that illusion was visible is certainly stale
[But] the colors will keep coming into it

Heart Beat
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
Children’s laughter echoes
everywhere through the sky
Laying besides you I can see the
crooked lines of the building around us
As sunlight pours through the cracks in the clouds
we take cover before it blinds us
I close my eyes to hide away from the commotion
and as I place my hand on your chest
I can feel your heart beating
Oh let me be your side
Alas, the two of us
will eventually leave this world behind
but our feelings will keep
us together like this
Ah, in order to fill my heart
I will need to hear that sound over and over again
so I entrust the trobbing sound to my body
as you softly wrap around me
The rain won’t stop
making me long for your smile
When I turn off the light, the lights of the
city shine like little falling stars in the sky
As a whirl of lights intertwine
I can see the future in a dream
I need you to take my hand
so I can transfer my wishes to you
Oh let me be your side
Alas, we have to get through
many lonely nights in this world
but our feelings will keep
us together like this
Ah, I touched deep within your
heart to confirm your love
I can feel your skin tremble with your heart beat
as I softly wrap myself aroud you
One day I’ll see the end of this dream
even if there’s no sunlight to wake me
Then when the sad rain pours down
our two shadows can meld into one
because I’m by your side
Alas, we have to get through
many lonely nights in this world
but our feelings will keep
us together like this
Ah, I run out of breath
when our hearts melt together
two hearts beating to the same rhythm
as we sofly wrap around each other

Fragments of dreams
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
Fragments of dreams
they say there’s a place they are gather
Yes, on the other side of this desert
buried under the hot sand
My water well has
dried up in the sun
By night I start my journey
letting the full moon guide me
The far-away horizon spreads out
yes, I could could anywhere
In the distance, a voice echoes
Soon the clouds
will fill
with water
I call out for the rain
and for a moment, the mirage
of this world disappears
Though I cried
on the day I was born
I gathered the tears
that warmed my shoulders
and overflowed in my heart
All of my memories
I hold them in both hands
In my dream, I swallow the sand
and everything will disappear that day
It would be nice if I could
find you in that far-away city
Yes, on the other side of this desert
a thousand people are now sleeping
But my hope is smashed
because it was just a dream
Many times I called for you
but I probably can’t reach you
A familiar moon illuminates the night
So, the echoes of sadness
have even reach up till here
Soon the forest
will fill
will water
and become a river
Then a fleeting mirage
will carry me away
The day
I believed in eternity
I began to follow my destination
Those fading words
were carved into my heart
Once more, I will
send everything away in the wind
One day we’ll meet again
and at that place, we’ll understand everything
I gathered the tears
of that far-away morning
that warmed my shoulders
and overflowed in my heart
All of my memories of you
I hold them in both hands
In my dream, I swallow the sand
and everything will disappear that day

Sunny spot
Lyrics: Nobuchika Eri Translation: Jonathan Wu
Sitting in a sunny spot
I shake, and shiver
Just now it made me think
back to a certain sunset
The red glow of sunset
it dyed your back
as you went away from me
Sitting in a sunny spot
I shake, and shiver
Just now it made me think
back to a certain sunset
Before you said goodbye
You touched me softly
Because once upon a time
we saw a sparkle in each other
As the whithered leaves
fall down on my feet I realize that
our time won't return, so I live, and smile
Before you said goodbye
You touched me softly
Because once upon a time
we saw a sparkle in each other
Sitting in a sunny spot
I shake, and shiver
Just now it made me think
back to a certain sunset
