Japanese

* 空から降ってくる ヌードルみたいな雨に
  ラップでくるんで"チン"した現実が流されてゆく
  それは甘い甘い甘い甘いキャンディー ひと粒の涙
  いつも淡い淡い淡い淡い恋に 揺れてたいんだもん
  消えないでイリュージョン

やっとの思いで 手に入れた現実
温めすぎたアタシのスープでヤケドしちゃったみたい
ワガママばっかで嫌われちゃったアタシ
上手くいかない 逃げ出したい そうリキュールみたいに
それは熱い熱い熱い熱いキッスで 目覚めた朝の夢
ふたり青い青い青い青い海を 泳いでたんだもん
醒めないでイリュージョン

...イツモコイシテイタイ
...イツモユメミテイタイ

アタシ紅い紅い紅い紅いチェリー 悲劇のヒロインだから
ひとり長い長い長い長い夜を 越えられないんだもん
それは甘い甘い甘い甘い甘い甘い甘いキャンディー
いつも淡い淡い淡い淡い恋に 揺れてたいんだもん
消えないでイリュージョン
* ずっと醒めないでイリュージョン
