[SPEED「Kiwi Love」歌詞]

最近マンネリだよ コウジとは
3ヶ月神話っていうけど
もう ヤバイかもね

終電も行っちゃったね どうする?
もうちょっと強引でいいんだよ

HIPなビートに合わせて
たむろしてる Bad Boyz & Girls
Tonight 思いきって
あぁ はじけたいね
ふたりきりで 踊り明かそう!
めぐり合わせね

Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Take me, Take me, Take me Now
出逢いの予感 感じてる
Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Make me, Make me, Make me Feel
ドキドキしちゃうスピードで
Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai 暑い夜だね

ナレアイのKissじゃ味わえない
体中脈打つ感じがいいよね
スニーカーも脱ぎ捨てて
裸足で悪ふざけをしようよ

むせかえる夜風と
汗ばむハートが Freedom
つれていって あぁ 忘れさせて
きっと ずっと 寂しかったよ
すべて奪って

Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me Deep
あなたがいれば 最強ね
Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Let me, Let me, Let me Go
思いきり 抱きしめてね
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
甘く切なく…

すべて奪って
もう戻れない

Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Take me, Take me, Take me Now
出逢いの予感感じてる
Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Make me, Make me, Make me Feel
ドキドキしちゃうSPEEDで
AiAi Ai Ai Ai 暑い夜だね

Kiwi Love… um… Kiss You!

Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi Love
Do you wanna hold me? You can do!
思いきりときめいてね
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
甘く切なく…

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”.
