[SPEED「五番街のマリーへ」歌詞]

五番街へ行ったならば
マリーの家へ行き
どんなくらししているのか　見て来てほしい
五番街は　古い町で
昔からの人が
きっと住んでいると思う　たずねてほしい
マリーという娘と
遠い昔にくらし
悲しい思いをさせた
それだけが　気がかり
五番街で　うわさをきいて
もしも嫁に行って
今がとてもしあわせなら　寄らずにほしい

五番街へ行ったならば
マリーの家へ行き
どんなくらししているのか　見て来てほしい
五番街で　住んだ頃は
長い髪をしてた
可愛いマリー今はどうか　しらせてほしい
マリーという娘と
遠い昔にくらし
悲しい思いをさせた
それだけが　気がかり
五番街は　近いけれど
とても遠いところ
悪いけれどそんな思い　察してほしい

今がとてもしあわせなら　寄らずにほしい

SPEED (JPN)

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”.
