[full lyrics] Story & Anything for You
 

Story

Meetings don’t happen by chance
I realised this when I met you
All the while telling myself somewhere in my heart
that I should deny it

What kind of beautiful story would it have been
if it had been ours only?
But the story won’t be
only ours forever

We pass each other with a smile
like two strangers
while gazing at each other’s backs
we wish each other well

The memories still sting
because those days were just too sweet
I know. You also received
the same wounds

How would our story have been
if it had begun differently?
Did the story I had seen in my dreams
become reality?

"When I am reborn
in my next life
we’ll try to find each other
sooner than anyone else, right?"
Saying so with a smile

We pass each other with a smile
like two strangers
while gazing at each other’s backs
we wish each other well

"When I am reborn
in my next life
we’ll try to find each other
sooner than anyone else, right?"
Saying so with a smile

☆

Anything for You

There are still traces of those long-gone days
How many steps have we taken since then?
Someone is probably standing at same spot right now
feeling the same hesitance we felt

You were hurt, weren’t you? You couldn’t fight back the tears
Only time always heals all wounds

Hey, I’ll give you everything I have
My strength, my kindness, my love - everything
Hey, you don’t have to move closer, but reach out a little further
It’s alright, I’ll definitely grab your hand

It’s not like I have no insecurities left
but I’ve learned the strength of sharing and supporting each other
I trust the words "please trust me"
I don’t forget your frustrated profile that said "I’m sorry"

You’re too direct, right? You can’t play your cards well
It causes us to clash sometimes, but just stay the way you are

Never ever lose your innocent smile
I would become anything in order to protect your smile

I’ll become your umbrella on rainy days so you won’t freeze
I’ll become your wind on sunny days so flowers will scent
I’ll scout out the dangers so there’s nothing to fear
I’ll shine a dazzling light if you’re in darkness

Hey, I’ll give you everything I have
My strength, my kindness, my love - everything
Hey, you don’t have to move closer, but reach out a little further
It’s alright, I’ll definitely grab your hand

Japanese lyrics


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T/N: Anything for You seems to be for her "troupe". She tweeted part of the lyrics after tweeting this:

真夜中のサーカスツアーのリハーサルも終盤の追い込み戦になってきました。 もうこの辺まで来ると、一座のメンバーそれぞれの身体の悲鳴だったり心のきしみだったり、支え合う気持ちだ ったり助けたい想いだったりがあまりにも強く溢れ出てくるから、座長としては泣けちゃって泣けちゃって大変 です。

(Summary: The tour is reaching its final stage. At this point, the troupe members’s bodies and hearts are at their limits. She wants to help and support them so bad it makes her cry.)

So sweet. Thanks again!

And I am curious just what kind of song Anything For You is going to be...

I see Anything for You as closing song of the tour

i dunno why but i guess Anything for You might sound like Letter.

the lyrics made me tear. it seems ayu felt a lot through the leaving of the band members/dancers throughout these years that she wanted to write a song about this.

thank you!

Thank you! I really like Anything for you!

anything for you is a full song..yay

I don't think Anything for You is "officially" for her troupe. The version of the lyrics she posted on twitter is slightly modified in some parts. One of the differences is that the song is for a "君", a singular you, while the lyrics on twitter is for "君達", plural you. So I think she just reused the lyrics for the troupe but the song is originally for someone specific. (the husband?)

Anyway, another difference I spotted is "I would become anything for you" that became "I would became a demon for you" on twitter, that actually seems to quote Terminal's lyrics.

LOVE THIS..
and the entire supportive idea

Lyrically very similar to Moments.

Anything for You is so beautiful :heart

Thank you


I’ll become your umbrella on rainy days so you won’t freeze
I’ll become your wind on sunny days so flowers will scent
I’ll scout out the dangers so there’s nothing to fear
I’ll shine a dazzling light if you’re in darkness

So true. Ayu always helps me when I'm in a bad situation or if I feel depressed

Anything for you is amazing. can't wait to hear it

The lyrics for Anything for u and Story are beautiful and reminiscent of older lyrics. AFU reminds me of Moments and Terminal and Story reminds me of Together When and Part Of Me. God, can't wait for this album :)

Anything For You seems like a Letter part 2 (lyrically)
So I hope it's rock influented :v

I hope too. And seeing how it comes before Last Minute, its very possible. And I love how the lyrical message connects so well from one song to another (Anything For You - Last Minute)

Yes! and that's why I love it so much haha!

Loving both songs lycris! So hype for the new album!

Curious to hear Anything For You.

Thank you so much for the translations! I loved Anything for You :heart I'm actually really proud of her lyrics for this album! :yes

Anything for You romaji:

Tōi hi no omokage ima demo nokotteru
are kara bokura ga dore hodo arui taro u
onnaji basho ni ima dare ga tatte i te
onnaji tomadoi o kakae te iru n daro u

kizu tsui te i ta ne namida mo kakuse nai hodo
itami wa itsu demo jikan dake ga tairage te kureru

nē boku no motte iru mono nara zenbu kun ni ageru
tsuyo sa mo yasashi sa mo aisuru kono kimochi mo zenbu
nē dakara soko kara de ii sono te o mōsukoshi nobashi te
daijōbu boku ga sono kimi no te o kanarazu tsukamu kara

fuan ga mō nai toka de wa nai keredo
wakeaisasaeau kono tsuyo sa o shitta
shinji te hoshii no kotoba o shinjiteru
gomen ne no kuyashii yokogao wasure nai

massugu sugiru ne umaku wa tachimaware nai
tokidoki sō shi te butsukacchau yo ne sono kimi no mama de ii

mujaki na sono egao eien ni ushinawa nai de i te
nani ni demo nareru yo sore o moshi mamotte ikeru nara

ame no hi wa boku ga kimi no kasa ni naro u kogoe nai yō ni to
hare no hi wa boku ga kimi no kaze ni naro u hana ga kaoru yō ni
kowai mono nante nai yo boku ga subete saki ni mi te oku kara
kurayami o mitsuke ta nara mabushii hodo akaruku terasu kara

nē boku no motte iru mono nara zenbu kun ni ageru
tsuyo sa mo yasashi sa mo aisuru kono kimochi mo zenbu
nē dakara soko kara de ii sono te o mōsukoshi nobashi te
daijōbu boku ga sono kimi no te o kanarazu tsukamu kara

listening to anything for you and reading the lyric at the same time make me crying like baby... omg i adore this song so much

^ I know right, i'm always on the verge of tears when it gets to the "i'll become your umbrella on rainy days so you won't freeze (...)" part

I would love to see Anything For You as like a grand scale performance in the tour. Hopefully it won't be a encore thing.

Thank you for translation and the romaji first :)
Just listen to Anything for you and read the translation, it's so beautiful and the feeling...I'm shivering.

Is there Story's romanji?
