[SPEED「Up To You!」歌詞]

ちゃんと知ってほしい
目の前のアタシを
妄想だけじゃ
わかりにくいでしょ

どんなに遠くても
深くつながってると
思えるような
経験が欲しい

今までずっと弱気で…

何かそんな自分が
イヤになっちゃったの
壊されたいの

熱い潮風に抱かれて
あの海を越えてみたい

ふたりきりの楽園へ
つれていってね
I Love You Only You
奪って

Up To You!
あなた次第で
何処にだって
いけちゃうから

忘れられない夏に…
いつか伝説に
なっちゃうくらいの

恋をしようよ
Let Me Go Let Me Go
ステキ Ah…

あの日冗談半分で
腕にはめてくれた
ブレスをずっと
大事にしてる

アタシにとって
Special…

白いあとが
ついてるくらい
いつもしてる
私を笑わないでね

新しい Kiss が欲しい
「いい人」だけじゃ
不安なの

もしもそれが
やさしさなら
もう解禁だよ
Kiss Me Now
Hold Me Tight…
アゲルヨ

Up To You!
灼熱の夏が
モノクロに変わっても

忘れられない人に
もうすでに
なっちゃってるの

戻れないまま
Fallin' Love
Going Down
Up To You!…
Up To You! Up To You!!

(セリフ)「Up To You! いいよ…」

激しく Up To You!
あなた次第で
何処にだって
いけちゃうから

忘れられない夏に…
いつか伝説に
なっちゃうくらいの

恋をしようよ
Let Me Go Let Me Go
ステキ Ah…
Up To You!

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”.
