Description
There's a special kind of nostalgia - sticky, pinkish, with a hint of strawberry and embarrassment. When you think you've finally let go, and then you accidentally find an old photo booth picture - the one where you're both smiling foolishly and not fully in the frame. And it feels a bit awkward about my past self, but still warm. Because in that "then," everything was too sincere not to remember. Now, instead of scared hearts, there are neat, neutral words, and instead of a trembling voice, there's a calm tone, as if nothing ever happened. Only the skin is a little drier, the brain has gotten smarter, and the order at the cafe is invariably the same: strawberry juice. A child's sweetness that washes down an adult's ability to pretend everything is fine.
Lyrics and translation
Original
明 日はきっと行けないでしょ。
裏返したら 君の顔。
迷える妄想。 幸福のふり。
汗がまうは良くないって さ。 ね。
もらったぬいぐるみ。
罪はないけど用はない や。 いつの間にか増えたニキビ。
イチゴジュースをください。
昔より可愛 い私は。
君と二人の多彩プリクラ見返しちゃう んです。
明日はきっと行か なきゃいけない。 思い出す恥ずかしいこと。
君とはずっ と友達だよ。 話すことなんてないけれど。
私のことどんな呼び方してくれたっけ？ いつの間にか逃げたメモリー。
イチゴジュースをください。
昔より賢い 私は。
普通の顔で普通の声でやり過ごすんで す。
イチゴジュースをください。
昔より冷た い私は。
君と楽しく話せないけど友達なん です。
イチゴジュース。 あー。 イチゴジュース。
イチゴジュース。
English translation
I'm sure you can't go tomorrow.
When I turn it over, it's your face.
A confusing delusion. Pretending to be happy.
It's not good to be sweaty. hey.
The stuffed animal I received.
It's not a crime, but there's no use for it. Acne that has increased over time.
Please give me strawberry juice.
I am prettier than before.
I'm looking back at the colorful purikura of you and me.
I'll definitely have to go tomorrow. Embarrassing things to remember.
You and I have always been friends. There's nothing to talk about though.
What did you call me? A memory that escaped before I knew it.
Please give me strawberry juice.
I'm smarter than I used to be.
I get by with a normal face and a normal voice.
Please give me strawberry juice.
I am colder than before.
I don't enjoy talking to you, but we are friends.
strawberry juice. ah. strawberry juice.
strawberry juice.
