愛——
それは、時に美しく、時に人を狂わせる。
君と過ごした、幾つもの夜。
瞼を閉じれば、色褪せない思い出が、今も鮮明に蘇る。
然し、あの頃の君は、もう此処には居ない。
あるのは、君が残してくれた、温もりと、香りだけだ。
She Is My Wife...
愛、夢、希望——

Love --
Sometimes it's beautiful, and sometimes it drives people mad.
The several nights I spent with you.
When I close my eyes, the unfading memories still shows up vividly.
However, you're not here anymore.
All that remains is your warmth and your scent.
She Is My Wife...
Love, dreams, and hope --
I will never, ever forget the days I spent with you.
Ahh Ahh Ahh...

Long Version
Japanese
時の流れとは、無情なものだ。
季節は巡り、また、この季節がやってきた。
澄んだ空気……白い吐息……悴む指先……
この季節が来る度に、君の事を思い出す。
時折見せてくれた、優しい笑顔。
それが見られないと思うと、狂おしい気持ちになる。
触れることも、話すことも今はできない。
あの、暖かかった日々は何処に行ってしまったのだろうか。
愛——
それは、時に美しく、時に人を狂わせる。
君と過ごした、幾つもの夜。
瞼を閉じれば、色褪せない思い出が、今も鮮明に蘇る。
然し、あの頃の君は、もう此処には居ない。
あるのは、君が残してくれた、温もりと、香りだけだ。
眠れぬ夜が何日も続いた。
迫り来る闇に怯えることもあった。
然し、明けぬ夜は無いと信じ、今まで必死に、必死に、耐え抜いてきた。
それでも……
沈む夕日に、俺は何を思うのだろう。
あの時にはもう、戻れはしない……
She Is My Wife...
過去、今、そして未来——
失った時間は、二度と戻らない。
だから俺は、今を生きる!
Ahh Ahh Ahh...
She Is My Wife...
Ahh...Ahh...

The flow of time is heartless.
Seasons changes continuously, and now this season came again.
The clear air....white breath....and the numb fingertips....
The coming of this season reminds me of you.
The gentle smile that I sometimes see.
The thought that I couldn't see that anymore drives me crazy.
I cannot even touch or speak with you now.
Where have you gone in those warm days?
Love --
Sometimes it's beautiful, and sometimes it drives people mad.
The several nights I spent with you.
When I close my eyes, the unfading memories still shows up vividly.
However, you're not here anymore.
All that remains is your warmth and your scent.
She Is My Wife...
Sleepless nights that lasted for days.
There were times when I was frightened by the looming darkness.
However, believing that every night would end with daybreak, I endured desperately, desperately.
But still...
What am I thinking about in the sunset.
I will not go back to that time anymore...
She Is My Wife.
Past, present, and future --
It's impossible to return to the lost time again.
So, I live in the present!
Ahh Ahh Ahh...
She Is My Wife...
Ahh...Ahh...
Song Connections / Remixes
She is my wife is part of SUPER STAR 満-MITSURU-'s "ONLY ONE" series of songs.
A long version of She is my wife can be found on SUPER STAR 満-MITSURU-'s album, ONLY ONE ACT.
The DanceDanceRevolution series use a shorter version of She is my wife, cutting a bit of the intro.
She is my wife's video features the core beatnation group performing a dance routine with MITSURU, with Sota Fujimori and DJ Yoshitaka dancing on the left, Ryu☆ and kors k dancing on the right, dj TAKA on the turntable, and L.E.D. on the piano.
A tutorial video of MITSURU and a female dancer was released through KONAMI MUSIC FULL to teach people how to do the dance featured in She is my wife's video. It can be seen with English subtitles here.
In the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series, the slow part of She is my wife features EMI and AFRO dancing I WANT YOUR LOVE (Darwin remix)'s choreography, regardless of the player's selected dancer, as that section of the video is pre-recorded. The rest of the song uses the original beatmania IIDX video. The whole video is played full-screen, eliminating any on-screen dancers.
She is my wife's video is not retained in CS DanceDanceRevolution releases.
She is my wife appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the beatmania IIDX Song Pack.
She is my wife is used as background music in a mission on the KONAMI arcade game ROAD FIGHTERS (ロードファイターズ).
In the American and European releases of the DanceDanceRevolution series before DanceDanceRevolution A, She is my wife's artist was changed to simply SUPER STAR MITSURU.
She is my wife is one of BeatStream アニムトライヴ's hidden songs. It can be unlocked via Takahashi-san no okurodashi (タカハシサンのお蔵出し).
It also uses its DanceEvolution ARCADE jacket as its jacket in the BeatStream series.
The jacket itself is a photo taken from SUPER STAR MITSURU's album, ONLY ONE ACT.
She is my wife was added to SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS on March 26th, 2016.
It received a new set of jackets in the SOUND VOLTEX series.

SUPER STAR -MITSURU-
"Time lost can never be regained. So I will live for the present."
I guess everyone has heard of this comment before, right?
As SUPER STAR, I must express this feeling hidden within me.
The beatnation Records crew was kind enough to help me with the release of this masterpiece.
This time I wanted everyone to dance this choreography. All of them were very open and willing to practice in making this!
I don't really have much more to say.
There's nothing more to hide. I hope you can feel the ONLY ONE feeling when you play this.

When I met SUPER STAR for the first time, I could see the sparkles from him!
It was so dazzling.
I made sure to emphasise on such a characteristic only a Shining Gentleman like SUPER STAR has,
and now I present this fantastic masterpiece.
