[SPEED「季節がいく時」歌詞]

(tu tu tu tu…)

耳をふさぎたい週末のノイズに
行き場のない寂しさに踏まれて
こわすのはいつも勇気がいるけどね
こわれちゃう時はあっけないくらい一瞬ね

あーずっとふたりだったから
ひとり分がポッカリあいちゃってる

強い風に流されてく雲は朝をつれてくる
今は二人離れていてもまだ間に合うならもう一度
愛されたいと願うより透明な気持ちで愛し続けたい
雨上がりの晴れた大地に立つように

体の奥がつながってる心の奥の乾きと夢中だった日々
白く縁どった寒い冬の日は
あなたがいたから想い出になれた

あー泣きたいだけ思いきり今は泣けばいい

強い風にさらわれてくあなたの心取り戻したい
凍てついた雪もやがて妬きつくす夏がくるように
平凡だった毎日が振り返れば光あふれていた
放課後のチャイムみたいに今頃鳴り響いてる

季節がいく時にあなたはいない

(ha ha ha)

強い風に流されてく雲は朝をつれてくる
今は二人離れていてもまだ間に合うならもう一度
愛されたいと願うより透明な気持ちで愛し続けたい
雨上がりの晴れた大地に立つように

Du you Remember…? (ha ha ha ha)
Du you Remember…? (ha 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”.
