[SPEED「My Street Life」歌詞]

物憂げなDays なりゆきのPain
帰るアテなく 街の風に吹かれてる
本当のアタシなんてまだ
自分にさえ見せたことない

あんなに抱き合ってた
恋も友達も移りゆく
いつも
ひとりには絶対
きっとずっとなりたくなかっただけ

My Street Life
大事な夢
いつしか人混みにまぎれてく
あぁ今こそ 誇れる自分になっていきたい

虚しい夢に魘されて
微睡みの中 胸にすがりついてた
一つに溶けた人とさえ 心は遠く旅立ってたよ

時が逢えなくした
愛を未だに求めてる
どうして守れなかったんだろう
そっとずっと髪をなでていて

My Street Life
傷ついた日々 深い闇に全部葬って
もう振り向かず ここから歩みだしていくのさ

My Street Life
大事な夢
朽ち果てていくその前に
さぁ 上を向いて 誇れる自分になっていくのさ

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”.
