[SPEED「Starting Over」歌詞]

遥か遠く自分が消えそうだよ
夢のかけらかなわぬ青春

街のざわめきにかき消されてく
いくつもの叫びと愛の唄
深い闇がすべて奪っても
必ず夜明けはくるから

Starting Over もう一度始めようこの場所から
Starting Over 明日からの事は知りたくないけど
風に吹かれてこの街に立ち涙を拭おう

夜をブラつきこぼれてゆくハートブレイク
誰としたいの何が欲しいの

ひとりには慣れていたはずなのに
誰かそばに今日はいてほしくて
けどムナしさしか残らなくて
大切な人に気づいたよ

Starting Over 終わりは始まりそういってたよね
Starting Over あなたも何処かで見つめているなら
月の光に祈りをこめてここから歩き出そう

We're Starting Over
We're Getting Better
We're Starting Over

Starting Over もう一度始めようこの場所から
Starting Over 終わりは始まりそう信じているから
朝の光に願いをこめて明日へ旅立とう
生まれ変わるのさ

We're Starting Over
Time is Starting Over
We're have been set free

We're Starting Over
Time is Starting Over
Someday, Getting Better

We're Starting Over
Time is Starting Over
We're have been set free…

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”.
