[SPEED「I'll Be All Right」歌詞]

乗り換えの駅のホームで
モトカレが彼女つれてた
何気に隠れた自分が悔しい
うかない顔でどうしたのと
Takako が励ましてくれた
早熟な彼女は恋の先輩ね

甘えていたあの腕が
今はただの他人なんて
哀しすぎる現実ね
早く私だって
次の恋見つけなきゃ

Yes, I'll Be All Right
今日は歌おう女の子同志で
Yes, I'll Be All Right
ひとりになったけど
ひとりじゃないって事
やっと気づいたよ My Best Friends

情けないトコ見せられた
好きな時に好きと言えた

心から笑い合えてたあのシーズン
幸せっていつだって
平凡な中にあるものね
嫌いなトコもあったのに
キモチの引力って
かなり不思議なものね

Yes, I'll Be All Right
自由になってやさしくなれたよね
Yes, I'll Be All Right
求めすぎてた日々
あの手のぬくもりに
守られていたんだね Yesterday's Love

未来のダーリンどこなの…?

Yes, I'll Be All Right
踊りにいこういつものグループで
Yes, I'll Be All Right
獅子座の運勢は
出逢いの予言だね
今は大切なシングル Days

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”.
