[SPEED「Cryin'」歌詞][SPEED「Cryin'」 gē cí ]

Cryin' in the Rain どしゃ降りの雨に

Weepin' in the Rain 打たれている my heart

Alone in the Rain 雨よ 洗い流してほしい

私の全部

涙は本当に悲しい時は 心の防波堤 越えないものね

泣きたい…

すれちがう人は誰もが足早で

ひとりだけこの街に取り残されたよう

何に負けたのだろう

それがわからなくて

ひとりがつらすぎて

Find my way…

Cryin' in the Rain アスファルト叩く

Walkin' on the street 打ちひしがれて

Alone in the Rain 傘もささず心の中

雨が溢れてく

未来はあの雲の彼方にある…?!

だけど現実は高いビルの壁 届かない

愛しさ求めるのは 哀しいからなの?

もっと人をPureに愛せないのかな

これ以上 自分を飾らず

ありのままの私 まっすぐな生き方してみよう

Cryin' in the Rain 傷ついた日々は

Flower in the Rain 微笑みになる

Shine in my heart やさしい気持ちは朝陽をつれてくるのさ

Standin' on the street 雨上がりの街

Flower in my heart 希望のかけら

Shine in the sky 陽のあたる場所に立ってる 私がいるよ

Cryin' in the Rain 傷ついた日々は

Flower in the Rain 微笑みになる

Shine in my heart やさしい気持ちは朝陽をつれてくるのさ

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”.
