Japanese

だらだらと　今も　流れ　続くニュース　真実どこ？
夢の中　回り　続け　今も　回る　本当のこと？
真実も　見せず　見えず　大人　なんて　隠したまま
偽りに　耐えて　耐えて　耐えて　絶えた　自分の気持ち

思いまで　偽られ　出会えずに　見つからぬ　本当の思い
いつまでも　変わらずに　流れてく　この同じ　時間のなかにも
重なって　夢を見る　そんな人　いるはずと　信じるのならば
このままで　いたくない　こんなのは　違うはず　私は変わることができるはずよ

巡りゆく　空間は　人ごみに　飲まれて
出会えてた　はずなのに　今でも　わからず
同じ時刻(とき)　同じ場所　重ね合う　そのことも見えなくて

巡りゆく　空間が　貴方さえ　引き裂く
偽りの　時の中　出会える　信じて
1度だけ　すれ違う　その場所で　始まりの時を知るの

Romaji

daradara to ima mo nagare tsuzuku nyuusu shinjitsu doko?
yume no naka mawari tsuzuke ima mo mawaru hontou no koto?
shinjitsu mo misezu miezu otona nante kakushita mama
itsuwari ni taete taete taete taeta jibun no kimochi

omoi made itsuwarare deaezu ni mitsukaranu hontou no omoi
itsumademo kawarazu ni nagareteku kono onaji jikan no naka ni mo
kasanatte yume wo miru sonna hito iruhazu to shinjiru no naraba
konomama de itakunai konna no wa chigau hazu watashi wa kawaru koto ga dekiru hazu yo

meguri yuku kuukan wa hitogomi ni nomarete

ichido dake sure chigau sono basho de hajimari no toki wo shiru no

Song Connections / Remixes

• A long version of Round and Round, titled Round and Round feat. Mei Ayakura (Original Mix), appears on the beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.
• Fans have remarked that Round and Round greatly resembles another Alstroemeria Records song called Bad Apple!! feat. nomico, also by Masayoshi Minoshima. Coincidentally, the opening line of Bad Apple!! feat. nomico goes (translated) "Even in the midst of flowing time, I feel languid, look, spinning round and round". (Bad Apple!! feat. nomico was added to SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH on September 14th, 2012.)
  • According to Masayoshi Minoshima, it was L.E.D. who asked him for a song similar to Bad Apple!! feat. nomico for beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle.
• Round and Round also shares similarity with CYCLES, also composed by Masayoshi Minoshima and sung by 綾倉盟, from Sega's maimai series. Both songs contain lyrics about "spinning round and round".

Trivia

• Masayoshi Minoshima is a DJ and producer affiliated with Alstroemeria Records. Mei Ayakura has provided vocals for several of Minoshima's works from Alstroemeria Records, in addition to several other CDs.
• If a AAA is obtained on the song, the final overlay reveals Sakura as the true identity of the robot dog DJ from beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS.
