[SPEED「Cryin'」歌詞]

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 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”.
