To spitting out indifferent words

淡々　言葉を吐いた

And crying over those memories?

あんな思い出に泣いたのは

Waiting for the “1, 2…” signal

今日で終わりにしないか

Holding hands with you is

1, 2の合図を待って

An act of courage for me

ユーエンミー手を取り合ったのは

Phase

僕の勇気ある行動　フェイズ

'Cause we shouldn't stand still, right?

立ち止まんないでいいんだからね

Life is a sham

空々しいな　この人生

Don't say you can't do it

できないなんて　言わないでね

Don't say it

言わないでね

Don't say it's too late now

今更なんて　言わないでね

Come, come

僕ら今

Now we form a circle and start to spin

さあさあ輪になって　回り始める

Bit by bit I come to hate it, but I come to like it

段々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Hey, hey, I don't even understand the meeting of my selves(*)

ねえねえ　わかんないや　自分会議も

We steadily close the gap

どんどん　中に寄って　でも離れてく

But we remain far apart

ぱっぱっ　音に乗って　踊り始める

Da-dum, carried by the music we start to dance

散々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Wretchedly, I come to hate it, but I come to like it

ねえねえ　わかんないや 　この先もずっと

Hey, hey, I don't understand now or ever

僕の心を　シェイクシェイク　いえい

Shake shake my heart

大正解なんてないのさ

Yay

じゃあ一体どこに向かえば

There's no such thing as a right answer

物語は終わりますか

So, where the hell do I have to go

1, 2の合図を待って

To find the end of this story?

ユーエンミー手が触れ合ったのは

Waiting for the “1, 2…” signal

僕の勇気ある行動　フェイズ

Touching your hand is

畏まったって　意味ないんだって

An act of courage for me

恥ずかしがった　夢にばいばいです

Phase

この先ずっとよろしくね、よろしくね。

There's no meaning to being humble and respectful

君と今

So bye-bye to my embarrassing dreams

さあさあ交わって　目を逸らし合う

From now on, forever, let's get along

段々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Let's get along.

ねえねえ　わかんないや　自分会議も

Come, come

どんどん　様になって　崩れ落ちてく

We now avert our eyes from each other

ぱっぱっ　触れる前に　消えてしまうの

Bit by bit I come to hate it, but I come to like it

散々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Hey, hey, I don't even understand the meeting of my selves

ねえねえ　わかんないや　この先もずっと

I steadily become better

わかりあえるまで僕たちは

But I'm crumbling to pieces

今更なんて　言わないでね

Da-dum, you disappear before I can touch you

僕ら今

Wretchedly, I come to hate it, but I come to like it

さあさあ輪になって　回り始める

Hey, hey, I don't understand now or ever

段々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Until we can understand each other, we-

ねえねえ　わかんないや　自分会議も

- Shouldn't say it's too late

どんどん　中に寄って　でも離れてく

Come, come

ぱっぱっ　音に乗って　踊り始める

Now we form a circle and start to spin

散々嫌になって　でも好きになる

Bit by bit I come to hate it, but I come to like it

ねえねえ　わかんないや　この先もずっと

Hey, hey, I don't even understand the meeting of my selves

僕の心を　シェイクシェイク　いえい

We steadily close the gap

Music / Vocal　Eve

But we remain far apart

Arrange　Numa

Da-dum, carried by the music we start to dance

Wretchedly, I come to hate it, but I come to like it

Hey, hey, I don't understand now or ever

Shake shake my heart

Yay

(*) “Jibun Kaigi” is a 1972 manga one-shot by Fujiko F. Fujio (best known as the creator of Doraemon).

The story is about a young man leading a lonely and impoverished life

who finds himself dragged by future versions of himself

into the titular “meeting of the selves.”

His various selves cannot get along, however, and the meeting ends in tragedy.
