[SPEED「SOMETHING NEW」歌詞]

ショゲないで　What's the matter?
打ち明けてごらんよ
ひとりでトランスしないで　Let's go out to the Street
メイクで隠してるBlue Heart　素の自分を見せて
さらけ出していいよ　アタシも同じだよ

はじかれた街　彷徨い
涙が溢れる　そんな夜は
思いきり泣けばいいさ
そして　RESET!

Yes! You'll get Something New　変わっていかなきゃ今日から
踏み出す前に　何で怖がっているの?
ハメはずして今夜は　仲間集めて　Hide away
向かい風に向かって進め　Something New!

何でも　Talk to me baby
分かち合えるから
共に歩んでいこう　Good Days, Bad Nights, Whenever-----
喜びも悲しみも　結局は全部
繋がってるのさ　この夜空のように

冴えない日々にサヨナラ
果てなき旅路は続いてく
But―Don't Worry　明日はきっと
You'll be HAPPY!!

Yes! You'll get Something New　リミッターをはずしたら
躊躇せずに　ありのままの君で突進
打ちのめされたって　行き止まりじゃないよPathway
それは新しい始まりなのさ　It's All Right!

Let's make love tonight

Yes! You'll get Something New　リミッターをはずしたら
躊躇せずに　ありのままの君で突進
打ちのめされたって　行き止まりじゃないよPathway
それは新しい始まりなのさ　It's All Right!
Yes! You'll get Something New　変わっていかなきゃ今日から
踏み出す前に　何で怖がっているの?
ハメはずして今夜は　仲間集めて　Hide away
向かい風に向かって進め　Something New!

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”.
