[SPEED「Back to the Street −リトルワールドへの想い−」歌詞]

Set Me Free!

Ah! 誰かにもたれたむろしてた Back Street
始発が来るまで街中さまよっていた

陽気なキャラでも萎えちゃうくらい色々あっても
顔なじみに会うと何でも救い合えたね

明日の事ならちゃんと悩んでいるよ
顔に出さなくても不安だよ

どうにかここまでその場を何とか乗り越えてきた
今という一瞬ハートに刻みながら…

Little World
Little World
私が私でいれるトコ
Little World
Little World
(Back to the street)
(Back to the street)
ここを出ていくいつか誰もが
どんなに離れてもいつまでも
私たちだけは染まっていきたくない

All Night Long

すごく暇だったねそんな日が
ずっと続くと思っていたかったよね

もう前みたいにいっつも逢えなくなっていったね
それぞれの日々についていくので精一杯

だけど心はいまだにモロくて傷つきやすくて
ワケもないイラダチ隠しきれない

近頃ためいきだけが増えていくけどね
そんな自分に負けちゃダメだよ

Little World
Little World
たまにまたここで集まろう
Little World
Little World
(Back to the street)
(Back to the street)
逢うとすぐ昔に戻れるねたとえ
小っぽけな世界でも唯一本当の事
教えてくれた大切な場所

Little World
Little World
たまにまたここで集まろう

Little World
Little World
逢うとすぐ昔に戻れるね
Little World
Little World
(Back to the street)
(Back to the street)
私が私でいれるトコ

Little World
Little World
(Back to the street)
(Back to the street)
ここを出ていくいつか誰もが
どんなに離れてもいつまでも
私たちだけは染まっていきたくない

Set Me Free

Ha ha ha…

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”.
