Season

Opening Theme
Title: Ai no Tenshi

Lyrics:

shiroi hane ga hora mieru desho?
anata wo mitsumete'ru me mo
amai koe mo yasashii te mo
anata dake no tame ni iru hazu
sugoku chikai tokoro kara mamotte-iru no yo

kimi ga ai de nayamu koto ga aru nara
PINCHI SAIN dashite matte mite yo

koi wa DOKI DOKI suru kedo
ai ga LOVE LOVE suru nara
motto GAN GAN ikou yo
kitto CHANSU wa aru kara
ai no tenshi wa hohoende'ru yo

hon no sukoshi yuuki dashitara
anata wa kawareru hazu yo
jishin motte ganbatte yo
tsurai koto datte norikoete
anata ni wa dekiru hazu yo
hitori ja nai no yo

hito to aishiaeru koto ga dekitara
sore wa kitto tsuyoku nareru koto yo

koi ni UKI UKI shite'ru ne
HA-TO RUN RUN shite'ru yo
anata KIRA KIRA shite kita
kare ni ATAKKU shiyou yo
ai no tenshi mo mimamotte'ru yo

kimi ga ai de nayamu koto ga aru nara
PINCHI SAIN dashite matte mite yo

koi wa DOKI DOKI suru kedo
ai ga LOVE LOVE suru nara
motto GAN GAN ikou yo
kitto CHANSU wa aru kara
ai no tenshi wa hohoende'ru yo

Translation:

Look! Can you see her white wings?
Those eyes gazing at you...
That sweet voice, and those gentle hands...
They exist only for you,
Protecting you from so very close by...

If you're worried over love,
give a call for help and just wait...

Love makes your heart pound, pound but
If love is loving, loving, then
Let's go go
Because the chance will surely appear
The Angel of Love is smiling at you...

If you have only a little bit of courage,
you'll be able to change yourself.
Have faith in yourself, and do your best!
Overcome all the pain.
I'm sure you can do it!
You're not alone!

If you can love someone,
then without a doubt, that's what it means to be strong!

Love makes you feel on top of the world
Your heart feels like it's on cloud nine
You've shone like the stars
So let's go in and "attack" him!
The Angel of Love is watching over you.

If you're worried over love,
give a call for help and just wait...

Love makes your heart pound, pound but
If love is loving, loving, then
Let's go go
Because the chance will surely appear
The Angel of Love is smiling at you...

Ending Theme
Title: Season

Lyrics:

kono eki wo densha de toorisugiru to
mune ga natsukashisa de setsunaku naru
yureru omoi zenbu seifuku no naka ni kakushite
hashaida goro

tsurete-itte hajimete no koi ni
muchuu datta tomadoi nagara FOUR SEASON
omoidashite soba ni iru dake de
suki na kimochi fue-tsudzuketa ne
donna kisetsu datte

[Short Instrumental]

sotsugyou shite kara kami wo kitta yo
anata wa ima demo kawatte'nai ka na
kaerimichi de itsumo hanashite kureta yume wo mada
sagashite'ru no?

tsurete-itte afuredasu namida
mune no oku de kamishimete-ita FOUR SEASON
omoidashite houkago no SUNSET
futarikiri de sugoseru toki dake ga
hoshikatta ne

kanashii toki tsuyogaru kuse dake
naoranakute ano hi no mama no NEW SEASON
anata kitto kidzuite-ita yo ne
damatta mama mitsumete kureta hitomi
wasurenai yo

Translation:

When I pass through this station on the train
I get heart-broken with nostalgia
of when I was bubbly and hid all of my shaking emotions
under my school uniform.

I was head-over-heels and at the same time confused
My first love came with the four seasons
I remember, just by being by your side,
it would make me love you even more,
no matter what the season.

I've cut my hair since graduating
I wonder if you haven't changed, even now.
Are you still searching for the dream
we always used to talk about on the way home?

It brought with it many tears
as deep in my heart, I pondered the four seasons.
I remember the sunset after school.
All I wanted was to spend time
together with you.

When I'm sad, it's just my habit to act strong.
I'm not healed; this new season is just like that day.
You've realized it too, haven't you?
I'll never forget your eyes as you gazed at me
in silence
