- Title:

Pale Pink Mules (淡いピンクのミュール)

- Introduction:

This time I wrote a love song about a devoted girl. The boyfriend dumps her twice, but when they meet again after a long time, she has become so much more beautiful...

This is the first time I've used my friend SIN-D's Persona. Her powerful singing voice evokes a variety of images, including her bravado, clumsiness, and devotion. Thank you for the wonderful Persona.

今回は一途な女の子のラブソングを書きました。二度も彼女を振ってしまった彼、久しぶりに再会した彼女は見違えるほどきれいになっていて...

初めてお友達SIN-DさんのPersonaをお借りしました。とてもパワフルな歌声と、そこに感じる強がり、不器用、一途...様々なイメージが膨らみます。素敵なPersonaありがとうございました。

テキスト片手

ドクターマーチン

さらす太もも

どぎつい白

足元涼し気

ピンクのミュール

背中開き(びらき)

きれいな素肌

黄色い点字ブロックの二人

賑わう朝の　プラットフォーム

素材で勝負は　敷居高いよ

かわい過ぎて　マネできないよ

別れたばかりだから　ごめんね

確か前　きみ　そう言ったよね

でも、もうそろそろ　いいよね

でも、つきあって　何したいの？

え、どうして　そんなこと聞くの？

消えちゃいそうな　震える声

私、どうして　そんな答えなの？

デートとか　ドライブだけど

そうか、気がついちゃった

きみの好みじゃないんだね

でも、ちょっとわかったよ

オシャレすれば　きっといいよね

きみを絶対　驚かせるよ

きみを次は　振り向かせるよ

黄昏時　ライブハウス

集まる　懐かしい顔ぶれ

きみも　来てたんだね

とてもきれいで　見違えたよ

オレに気がつき　そっぽ向いたね

かっこいいよ　その仕草

隣の彼と、仲良くしてね

オレも彼女と、仲良くするよ

私に気がつき　驚いたね

オシャレな私に　驚いてるね

そっぽを向いて　答えるよ

視界の端　追うきみの顔

え、どうして　そんな顔するの？

ここは　悔しがるところでしょ

どうして　そんなに穏やかなの？

きみも　大人になったんだね

そうか、気がついちゃった

きみの好みじゃなかったんだね

そうか、ちょっとわかったよ

オシャレも　きっと足りなかったね

きみは絶対　驚いたけど　もう

振り向かなくて　だいじょうぶだよ

hum hum hum hum...

- Lyrics: (English)

Textbook in hand,

Dr. Martens on.

Bare thighs flashing

In shocking white.

Breezy steps

In pale pink mules.

Open back dress—

That glowing skin.

Standing together

On yellow tactile tiles.

Morning rush

On the crowded platform.

Pulling off "natural"

Isn't easy at all.

Too cute to copy,

She's out of my league.

"Sorry… I'd just broken up

With someone back then."

I'm pretty sure

That's what you said, right?

Well… maybe now

It wouldn't be too soon.

But if we dated...

What would we even do?

Wait—why would you ask me that?

My voice trembled, almost gone.

Why would I say something like that?

I guess… go on dates, take a drive...

Oh... so that's how it is.

I'm just not your type, right?

But hey, now I understand.

Maybe with a little style,

I'll finally fit your world.

Next time for sure,

I'll catch you off guard.

Next time,

You'll finally turn around.

Twilight falls

At the livehouse door.

Familiar faces

Gather all around.

And there you were,

Looking more stunning

Than I remembered.

She saw me —

and looked away.

That little move...

God, she's cool now.

Hope she's happy

With the guy beside her.

I'll do the same

With the girl beside me.

You noticed me,

And froze for a beat.

I saw you and turned away,

But my eyes were chasing you.

Why that look now?

Aren't you supposed to regret this part?

Why so calm?

So grown up,

Like someone I used to love.

Yeah… I get it now.

I was never your type.

But hey, now I understand.

Maybe if I'd had some style...

Things could've gone differently.

You were surprised, I know.

But don't worry—

You don't need to look back anymore.

hum hum hum hum...
