[SPEED「Sophisticated Girl」歌詞]

Sophisticated Sophisticated

My Life!! 生き方変えるよ
今日から My Style
輝きたい手に入れたいなら
Step, Step, Stepin' Now
くすぶってちゃダメよね
Get Dream!! 今は遠くたって
Nobody, Knows Tomorrow…
絶対ぬけ出したい結ばれたいなら
Break, Break, Breakin' Out!
ここから飛び出さなきゃ!

清らかな心で傷つく事もあるよね
いい恋してつまずいて
みんな新しい自分に出逢うためね

Sophisticated Girl 女磨かなきゃ
Sophisticated Girl すべてすべてすべてバネにして
Sophisticated Girl すごく憧れちゃう
Sophisticated Girl 素敵な素敵な素敵な女性になる

It's My Life!! アタシはアタシよ
Complex に負けない!
理想の Body 未来の STEADY
Let's Go! Go! Heaven 夢に向かって
Wake Me Up! White Love
昨日の私から my graduation
そして…21Century へ成長していこう
人生毎日が目にも止まらぬSPEED だね

プライド捨ててまで
流行(りゅうこう)手に入れたくないよね
自分らしさ見つけ出して
振り向かせるくらいの人になりたい…Here we go!

Sophisticated Girl 上を目指して行こう!!
Sophisticated Girl 魔力魅力知性身につけたら優雅
Sophisticated Girl いつも媚びてない
Sophisticated Girl しゃくなしゃくな
しゃくなほどいい女

Wanna become a Sophisticated Girl 女磨かなきゃ
Sophisticated Girl すべてすべてすべてバネにして
Sophisticated Girl 生きがい見つけたら
Sophisticated Girl 素敵な素敵な素敵な女性になる

Sophisticated Girl お洒落で快活な
Sophisticated Girl Someday, Somеday
Someday, Someday I'll becomе a
Sophisticated Girl いつかなれるよね
Sophisticated Girl しゃくなしゃくな
しゃくなほどいい女

Sophisticated Girlうしろ振り向かない
Sophisticated Girl すべてすべてすべて明日のため
Sophisticated Girl 街で光ってる
Sophisticated Girl 素敵な素敵な素敵な女性になろう!

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”.
