[SPEED「Still Blowing」歌詞]

素肌で感じる季節は移ろい 模様替えする木々のグラデーション
新しいペースと関係にも 馴染んで
だけど捜してもきっとあなたの姿が見えない この場所は
緑のない風景画のよう

これ以上の想いは もうないと言い聞かせて
それでもいつかは 違う愛をみつけるの

Someday, someone has known us, then go through the day & night
心には風が吹いて
And now, no one know you & me, then go through the day & night
今はまだ あなたを忘れられない

失ったあとにいつも知るのは それを失いたくないこと
“当たり前”という気持ちの隙で弱くなること
泣きたいわけじゃなく 隣りが少しだけ ただ少し
その広さに慣れてないだけ

二人 秘密の in island 早い夜明けの kiss with love
切なさを残して 思い出の箱しまって

Someday, someone has known us, then go through the day & night
ぬくもりを消せずにいる
And now, no one know you & me, then go through the day & night
胸の中 風の音は止まない

これ以上の想いは もうないと言い聞かせて
それでもいつかは 違う愛をみつけるの

Someday, someone has known us, then go through the day & night
心には風が吹いて
And now, no one know you & me, then go through the day & night
今はまだ あなたを忘れられない

Someday, someone has known us, then go through the day & night
ぬくもりを消せずにいる
And now, no one know you & me, then go through the day & night
胸の中 風の音は止まない

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”.
