[SPEED「Tracks」歌詞]

(Can U Believe?)
まだまだ見えない　遥か矛先(さき)を
不安だなんて思わないで
もっと、信じてみよう
ココロを閉じたままじゃきっと
大事な事に　気づけないよ
もっと、素直に向き合おう

今まで歩んできた軌跡を　輝かせるのはキミだよ
顔を上げて　前を向いて　明日へ走り出そう

キミだけがほら　描ける未来へ
迷わず行こう　どんなときも　Go away
左手に愛を　右手にはそう　確かな思いを
握りしめていこう　自分を信じて

(Can U Believe?)
一体何が正しいのか
周りを見ても　何もならない
きっと、答えは自分次第

他の誰でもない自分を　弱気な気持ちで飾らないで
もっと強く　絶対出来る　明日はまだこれから

いつだってほら　今を見つめて
明日への扉　開かなきゃいけない
大丈夫きっと　その1歩は間違いじゃないよ
振り返らないで　自分を信じて

見上げた星空に浮かぶ　鮮やかなヒカリのように
もっと強く　絶対出来る　明日はまだこれから

キミだけがほら　描ける未来へ
迷わず行こう　どんなときも　Go away
夢は叶うよ　願い続けていればきっとね
その思いはずっと　ヒカリ続けてるよ

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”.
