[SPEED「Deep Blue & Truth」歌詞]

束ねた髪ほどいて　眠たげな目こすって
もたれかかる　腕の中　不意に涙でてきちゃう
肩ひも落ちたキャミソール　けだるく夜は更けていく
あなた以外誰にも　こんなKISSさせていないよ

Deep Blue & Truth　出逢ってしまった
いきなり　恋に溺れた
Deep Love Tonight　どんな顔してねぇ…
彼に逢えばいいの
Deep Blue & Truth　好きって認めたら
すべてが壊れてく
Deep Love Tonight　深い海の底
二人沈んでく

寂しいサインはいつでも　出してたけど気づいてくれない
初めてね　そんな風に　髪撫でてくれる人は

Deep Love & Truth　見つめ合うだけで
会話できる人さがしてた
Deep Kiss Tonight　正直な気持ち
今まできっと押さえていた
Ha-

出逢った瞬間から　別れの場面予感している
いつか終わると知ってて　あなたなしじゃ笑えなくて

Deep Love & Truth　逢うと拒めない
これからどうすればいい
Deep Kiss Tonight　でも彼すごく
やさしくて欺けない

Deep Blue & Truth　揺れる珊瑚礁
きらめく水面見上げ
Deep Love Tonight　深い海の底
もう二度と逢わないで!

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”.
