[SPEED「Unlucky X'mas」歌詞]

Ha... ha...

Unlucky X'mas day　特別な夜に
1人でいたって　楽しくなんかない
最低な X'mas day　Unhappy X'mas day
こんな事になるはずじゃ無かったのに

Oh no oh no... Oh no oh no...
Um... So unlucky

過ぎてゆく人は　みんな急ぎ足で
プレゼントを抱え
時計を気にして　待ち合わせの場所へと
心踊らせてる

どうして急に　勢いにまかせ
あんな事言ってしまったんだろう
今になって　君がいない事に
ため息ばかりつくけど

Unlucky X'mas day　尊い夜に
同じように　笑えないなんて
最低な X'mas day　Unhappy X'mas day
本当なら二人で笑えたはずなのに

Oh no oh no... Oh no oh no...
Um... So unlucky
Oh no oh no... Oh no oh no...
Um... So unlucky

もしも願いが叶うのなら
この街のどこかにいる君に
素直な思いを届けて欲しい
暖かい光とともに oh...

Unlucky X'mas day　静かな夜に
意地を張っても　仕方が無いから
最低な X'mas day　Unhappy X'mas day
こんな気持ちじゃ　やっぱり帰れなくて

Unlucky X'mas day　聖なる夜に
慰める様な　粉雪を手に取って
最低なX'mas day　Unhappy X'mas day
もし間に合うなら電話してみようかな

Oh no oh no... Oh no oh no...
Um... So unlucky
Oh no oh no... Oh no oh no...
Um... So unlucky

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”.
