(First broadcast on TV Asahi from October 16, 1993)

(Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai (I Want to Shout "I Love You") by BAAD)

[Romanized:]

Mabushii hizashi wo se ni
Hashiridasu machi no naka
Tatakareta itsumo no you ni kata wo
Kimi ni muchuu na koto ni
Wake nante nai no ni
Sono ude wa karamu koto wa nai

Itsu no ma ni ka hitomi
Ubawarete hajimatta
Hanasanai yuru ga nai
Crazy for you

Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Ashita wo kaete miyou
Kooritsuite'ku toki wo buchikowashitai
Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Yuuki de fumidasou
Kono atsui omoi wo uketomete hoshii

[Full Version Continues]

Zawameita FUROA ni
Nigiwau TE-BURU goshi
Nanigenai kimi no shisen ni yoishire
Koi wo shite-iru you de
Odoraserete'ru yo na
Takanaru kodou ni mou uso wa tsukenai

Itsu ni nareba kawaru
Kono modokashii yuujou
Todoketai tashikametai
I take you away

Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Nanimokamo nugisute
Kokoro tokasu kotoba wo mitsuke dashitai
Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Kon'ya wa kaesanai
Mitsumeru dake no hibi nante owari ni shiyou
I wanna cry for you

Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Ashita wo kaete miyou
Kooritsuite'ku toki wo buchikowashitai
Kimi ga suki da to sakebitai
Yuuki de fumidasou
Kono atsui omoi wo uketomete hoshii

I wanna cry for you

[Japanese:]

眩しい陽差しを背に 走り出す街の中
たたかれた いつものように肩を
君に夢中なことに理由なんてないのに
その腕は 絡むことはない

いつの間にか瞳 奪われて始まった
離さない 揺るがない Crazy for you

君が好きだと叫びたい
明日を変えてみよう
凍りついてく時間をぶち壊したい
君が好きだと叫びたい
勇気で踏み出そう
この熱い想いを 受け止めてほしい

[この先はFULLバージョンのみ]

ざわめいたフロアににぎわうテーブル越し
なにげない 君の視線に酔いしれ
恋をしているようで躍らされてるような
高鳴る鼓動に もう うそはつけない

いつになれば変わる このもどかしい友情
届けたい 確かめたい I take you away

君が好きだと叫びたい 何もかも脱ぎ捨て
心とかす言葉を見つけ出したい
君が好きだと叫びたい 今夜は帰さない
見つめるだけの日々なんて
終わりにしよう I wanna cry for you

君が好きだと叫びたい
明日を変えてみよう
凍りついてく時間をぶち壊したい
君が好きだと叫びたい
勇気で踏み出そう
この熱い想いを 受け止めてほしい

I wanna cry for you

[English:]

Starting my run in the middle of town,
Bright sunlight at my back,
As always, [you] tapped my shoulder
I'm so enthralled by you
- yet for reasons unknown
Your arm won't be linked to mine.

Before I realized it,
You stole my gaze, and it began.
I won't let you go. I won't have any doubts.
Crazy for you.

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's try to change tomorrow.
I want to smash this freezing (moment in) time.
I want to shout "I love you."
Let's be brave and take a step forward.
I want you to receive these warm emotions

[Full Version Continues]

On the noisy floor,
Across from me at the crowded table,
I'm lost in your casual glance.
It feels like I'm in love with you,
Yet it's like I'm being toyed with.
I can't lie to my soaring hear beat (emotions) anymore.

When will it change,
This frustrating friendship?
I want to tell you. I want to make sure.
I take you away.

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's leave everything behind.
I want to find the words to melt your heart.
I want to shout "I love you."
I won't let you leave me tonight.
Let's end the days we don't get past just gazing at each other
I wanna cry for you

[Instrumental]

I want to shout "I love you."
Let's try to change tomorrow.
I want to smash this freezing (moment in) time.
I want to shout "I love you."
Let's bravely take a step forward.
I want you to receive these warm emotions.
I wanna cry for you
