Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

ねぇ　例えばもし...
偶然逢えたとしたなら
ふたりで笑い合って
話せるようになりたいね

いつか終わりが来るコト分かっていた
認めるコト出来ない私がここにいた

誰の為に笑顔でいたの?
アナタは何を見ていたの?
憶えているのは優しいアナタの視線
だけどもう映(み)えない
アナタとココロは何処にも...
去った思い出置いて　私も置いて

もう一度逢いたい
解り合いたい
温もり感じていたい
アナタに逢いたい
他には要らない
それだけいい

Romaji

nee tatoeba moshi...
guuzen aeta toshitanara
futari de warai atte
hanaseru you ni naritai ne

itsuka owari ga deru koto wakatteita
mitomeru koto dekinai watashi ga koko ni ita

dare no tame ni egao de ita no?
anata ha nani o mitaita no?
okueteiru no ha yasashii anata no shisen

English

Hey... supposing if
We were to meet by chance 
I'd like us to smile at each other
And be able to talk together

I knew it would have to end someday
But I was here, unable to accept it

Who was I smiling for?
What were you seeing?
What I remember is your kind look
But it doesn't appear anywhere
I can't find you or my heart anywhere
You left me behind with memories of you going away

Who was I smiling for?
What were you seeing?
What I remember is your kind look
But it doesn't appear anywhere
I can't find you or my heart anywhere
You left me behind with memories of you going away

Long Version

Japanese

もう側にはいない 手を繋ぐコトもない 隣にいて笑ってくれる そんなコトもなくなった 忘れられない 涙溢れた きっと逢うコトもないから そっと願っているの 戻らないカナなんて... いなくなってから存在の大きさ知った 当たり前すぎたから大事なコト忘れてた 誰の為に笑顔でいるの？ 誰の為に生きてゆくの？ 教えて欲しい アナタの他にいるんだと 私に出来るコト それはアナタ忘れるコト？ きっとしなきゃいけない？ホントに出来る？ ねぇ　例えばもし。。。 偶然逢えたとしたなら ふたりで笑い合って 話せるようになりたいね いつか終わりが来るコト分かっていた 認めるコト出来ない私がここにいた 誰の為に笑顔でいたの？ アナタは何を見ていたの？ 憶えているのは優しいアナタの視線 だけどもう映(み)えない アナタとココロは何処にも... 去った思い出置いて　私も置いて もう一度逢いたい 解り合いたい 温もり感じていたい アナタに逢いたい 他には要らない それだけいい 愛している まだ想ってる 心の中で想ってる 素直になれない 伝えられない もう仕方ない... 誰の為に笑顔でいるの？ 誰の為の笑顔だったの？ 知らないほうが自分の為だったりするの？ 私が決めたコト それがアナタ忘れるコト なのに「さよなら」だけが言えないの...

On the other hand, also pay attention to Riyu Kosaka's debut song, who was decided as the first member to have a solo. Riyu Kosaka herself was in charge of writing the lyrics for "true..." (released on 10/17 by Toshiba-EMI). Her painful vocals will inevitably remain in your ears.

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX- Original Soundtrack

NAOKI MAEDA

This is Riyu Kosaka's solo single. Perhaps this content is surprising to fans of D.D.R. original songs, but the result of pursuing every "possibility" in D.D.R. is Riyu Kosaka's "true...". This artist number doesn't change the fact that it isn't just a groovy song, but cherishes the lyrical world written by Riyu Kosaka. I personally love this number.

Liner Notes

Be For U is a unit consisting of four female vocalists, which was created for DDR. "true..." is the commemorative solo debut song of Riyu Kosaka, one of its members. Her personally written lyrics depict the sorrowful heart of a girl who can't forget her former lover. There's no doubt that the emotional vocals and wailing guitar will unconsciously move you. It contains content that everyone can empathize with, while also being perfect as a dance tune.
