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

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.)
