Night of Summer Side
"Kimagure Orange Road" opening theme (1987)

AKUSELU no himeisa kishimu TAIYA kara...
mishiranu kimi [kanji: onna] nose-tobi dashita KUUPE
		The scream of the accelerator from squeaking tires...
		With a stranger, you [an unknown woman], the coupe dashed out.
[Before the summer takes you...  Right now!]

oi-kakeru kage o huri-kiri DOA shimeta
kimi wa "doko de mo ii kara hashitte!" to
		You shut the door to break free from pursuing shadows.
		You said, "Anywhere's fine, step on it!"

deai wa HAIUEI JANKUSHON
minato ga mieru koro
koi ni ochita to kizuita
		Encounter at a highway junction.
		When the harbor was seen,
		I noticed I'd fallen in love.

Take me to Summer Side
kuchizuke yori yasashisa ga hoshii to
Night of Summer Side
adokenasa de kaku [kanji: kyohi] shita hitomi wa
otona datta ne
		Take me to Summer Side
		Saying you want affection more than a kiss,
		Night of Summer Side
		Hidden [denied] by innocence, your eyes [lit. pupils]
		were grown-up (wasn't it).

nami no nai irie narabu MASUTO no kage
kata o daite sanbashi wo aruita yo
		Shadows of masts lie in a row on the waveless inlet.
		Hugging shoulders, we walked the docks.
[Before the summer takes you...  Right now!]

kimazusa wa nigate na no to kyuu ni warai
ude wo surinuketane odoru mitai ni
		Suddenly laughing that the embarrassment was hard to handle,
		you slipped through my arms as if dancing.

yasashisa hagurakashi nani wo sagashite-ru no
koi ni riyuu wa iranai...
		Evading tenderness, what are you looking for?
		We don't need an excuse for love...

Take me to Summer Side
sasou you ni DEKKI e to tonda ne
Night of Summer Side
senaka sorashi dare no mono ni mo ne
naranai wa yo tte
KISU-shita ne
		Take me to Summer Side
		As if to lure me, you leapt to the deck.
		Night of Summer Side
		Curving your back,
		saying you wouldn't be just anybody's,
		you kissed me.

isoganai to natsu ga owarisou da yo tte
shiranai kao de kudoku yo
		Saying if we don't hurry, summer will be over,
		you woo me with an unfamiliar face

Take me to Summer Side
samishisa yori kuchizuke ga hoshii to
Night of Summer Side
huri-kaetta kimi no manazashi wa
otona datta ne
		Take me to Summer Side
		Saying you want a kiss more than loneliness,
		Night of Summer Side
		The way you looked, turning back
		was grown-up (wasn't it).

Ｎｉｇｈｔ ｏｆ Ｓｕｍｍｅｒ Ｓｉｄｅ
「きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード」オープニング・テーマ (1987)

アクセルの悲鳴さ軋むタイヤから…
見知らぬ女〈きみ〉乗せ飛び出したクーペ
[Before the summer takes you...  Right now!]

追いかける影を振り切りドア締めた
君は「どこでもいいから走って！」と

出逢はハイウェイ・ジャンクション
港が見える頃
恋に落ちたと気づいた

Take me to Summer Side
口づけより優しさが欲しいと
Night of Summer Side
あどけなさで拒否〈かく〉した瞳は
大人だったね

波のない入江並ぶマストの影
肩を抱いて桟橋を歩いたよ
[Before the summer takes you...  Right now!]

気まずさは苦手なのと急に笑い
腕をすりぬけたね踊るみたいに

優しさはぐらかし何を探してるの
恋に理由はいらない…

Take me to Summer Side
誘うようにデッキへと飛んだね
Night of Summer Side
背中そらし誰のものにもね
ならないわよってキスしたね

急がないと夏が終りそうだよって
知らない顔で口説くよ

Take me to Summer Side
淋しさより口づけが欲しいと
Night of Summer Side
振り返った君の眼差しは
大人だったね

[Fall in your life...  Lost in the light...]
