[SPEED「S.P.D.」歌詞]

"We're juss professional 時に意地張って 強がって
泣きたい時にだって なんでもない風 笑って Be in the spotlight
…あざむいてはいないの。 It's our pride

Back again 待っていてくれたのなら“そこ”へ…!
高まっている期待…ためらっていられない
目指すのは Next level 進化し続ける情熱

Hoo! Yeah…!
How do you feel about this new sound?
取り払ってみて“先入観”。
未知の領域へトリップ だけど Basics 忘れない
It's the way we are
張り合ってる…いつも、どこかで。
繋がってる…でも、いつだって。
Hey soul sistas! 派手にいこうじゃない…!

Splendid, Pop, Dance Let's dance
“限界”をいざ超越
Sing our life Our life
そう この夢はずっと見果てない Forever
経験を裏付けに
We'll show you our new style! Heat up
SPEED up by 4-Wheel Drive

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now here we go Now here we go

あの日決めた道を正しいと信じて
過ぎ去った時間は 健気なほど我武者羅で
気が付けば 浴びてた拍手喝采

Ooh..., Yeah...
あの海のブルー It's our roots 辛い時それが
積み上げたスキル あのテイクのミス…それさえ優しく藍に染めた
張り合ってる…いつも、どこかで。
繋がってる…でも、いつだって。
Hey soul sistas! 派手にいこうじゃない…!

Splendid, Pop, Dance Let's dance
“限界”をいざ超越
Sing our life Our life
そう この夢はずっと見果てない Forever
経験を裏付けに
We'll show you our new style! Heat up

Now here we go Now here we go

勝手に進んでゆくように見えてた未来
…無いものねだりと気づかず。
押し潰されそうだった色んな期待
今なら応えられる

Splendid, Pop, Dance Let's dance
“限界”をいざ超越
Sing our life Our life
そう この夢はずっと見果てない Forever
経験を裏付けに
We'll show you our new style! Heat up

SPEED (JPN)

SPEED is a four piece Japanese girl group consisting of Hiroko Shimabukuro (島袋寛子), Eriko Imai (今井絵理子), Takako Uehara (上原多香子), and Hitoe Arakaki (新垣仁絵) with the single “Body & Soul” in 1996 with the main vocalists being Hiroko and Eriko; the youngest members at the time were only 13 years of age.

The group would go on to win the Japan Gold Disc Awards such as New Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. However, by 2000, the group decided to disband, much to the dismay of loyal fans, but did get together numerous times – twice to release music, and many other times for charity. During their disbandment, the members embarked on solo careers, most notably Hiroko.

On August 20, 2008, the group announced that they would be reuniting permanently, and made their major comeback on November 12, 2008, with the single “あしたの空”, which translates roughly as “Tomorrow’s Sky”.
