Lyrics

Japanese

ナカナイデ
本当の　孤独を知らない
まだ淡い花びらに　涙の粒抱えたまま 

ああ　触らないで　暖かなその手は
私の全て狂わす
ねえ　許さないで　傷口を押さえて
微笑んでいる　アナタがいる　もう帰れないね

堕ちてくときの　甘い香り
繰り返すほどに　ひどくなる

抱きしめて　今だけ好きだってフリして
たった一つだけなら　全部全部いらない
Bloomin' like a rose
本当の　孤独も知らない
まだ淡い花びらに　涙の粒抱えたまま

Transliteration

Nakanaide
Hontou no kodoku mo shiranai
Mada awai hanabira ni namida no tsubu kakaeta mama ...

Aa, sawaranaide atataka na sono te wa
Watashi no subete kuruwasu
Ne, yurusanaide kizuguchi mo osaete
Hohoende iru anata ga iru mou kaeranai ne

Ochiteku toki no amai kaori
Kurikaesu tabi ni hidoku naru

Dakishimete ima dake suki datte furi shite
Tatta hitotsu dake nara zenbu, zenbu iranai
Bloomin' like a rose
Hontou no kodoku mo shiranai
Mada awai hanabira ni namida no tsubu kakaeta mama ...

Translation

Don't cry,
You don't even know what real sadness is,
Like when your tears are carried away by pale flower petals ...

Aa, don't touch me with those warm hands
That make me go completely mad
Hey, don't let my wounds open up again
If you're here and smiling I can't go back

The sweet smell of the flowers from the times I fell
Becomes horrifying as things repeat over and over

Hold me close, and pretend you love me just this once
Even if it's just once, I won't need anything else
Bloomin' like a rose
We don't know real sadness,
Like when your tears are carried away in pale flower petals ...

Music Production Info

IIDX commentary:

It's fiiiiiinaaaaalllly in IIDX! Hi, I'm Murai Seiya, the "Seiya" of Kiyommy+Seiya. This song, Pink Rose, made its debut in Keyboardmania 3rd mix, then went from Pop'n to DDR to IIDX. It's been five years since its 2000 debut, but I hope you can love it all the same. It'd be nice if I could make another song for IIDX next time, like a business card exchange♪

Video Production Info

IIDX commentary:

Five years pass, and it makes it into IIDX. Keyboardmania movies were at a 4:3 aspect ratio, so I had to do some tuning to get it into IIDX. The expansion was pretty straightforward overall, and I was able to add bits of image and speed lines to add to the impression of motion. By the way, if you miss a note, the video gets all noisy, like you're taking damage.
