[SPEED「I Remember」歌詞]

I Remember　忘れられない…
真夏の恋熱く深く
Remember　体中が覚えてる
あのメロディー…

最後に見た夕陽が今も胸に灼きついている
あなたの肩越し消えてく夏　燃え尽きたふたりみたい

Baby　Baby　あんなに大胆に
Baby　Baby　彼にも見せた事ない…
不思議なほど　素直になれた私

I Remember　戻れない…
やさしい腕もKissも嘘も…
Remember　体中で奏でてた
あのリズムも…

今も聞こえてくるよ甘くつらい潮騒のささやき…
水着のあとが褪せてくように想い出になってくの？

Baby　Baby　悲しい勇気で
Baby　Baby　明日へ旅立たなくちゃ
夜が明けるまでに

I Remember　あなたに逢ってから
変わった…しゃべり方も趣味も
Remember　体中に染みこんだ
あのメロディー…

Baby　Baby　眠れないよ
Baby　Baby　こんなに人を愛した事
生まれて初めてだよ

I Remember　忘れられない…
真夏の恋熱く深く
Remember　体中が覚えてる
あのメロディー…

I Remember　戻れない…
やさしい腕もKissも二度と…
Remember　体中で奏でてた
あのリズムも…

I Remember I Remember
I Remember I Remember
I Remember I Remember
I Remember I Remember

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”.
