japanese pop and fashion

I sway with the train For about 30 minutes The weather's so nice And everything looks so country outside

You got me hooked Little by little I feel more excited than nervous I've won "Yup"

When I got to the station, We held hands and walked There are girls wearing yukata, it's not fair I'm jealous "I'm jealous"

All the stalls are lined up You were talking on the train the whole time About the shops there, and now you've gotten me curious...

This is the only place Where you can eat food like this From what I heard, though, they're not that good...

I'm listening! We're going After we pop in To your family's house!? My skirt's too short!

Upon getting there, A lot of your family was gathered there And it got me into a panic I can't remember... "Nice to meet you"

I can hear the festival going on I've also gotten Pretty hungry My heart's all mixed up

After leaving, You took me right by the hand And we walked in the crowd It smells so nice "Whew..."

Hey, tell me that I should stop doing this Now, it's time to rise and shine

In my bewilderment, I was planning to find myself On my hands and knees, I muttered that it wasn't like that I'm waiting for a rose-coloured future that's just like a movie I was thinking about stupid things, Reaching out to my alarm clock

I know I took the long way around, But nothing could get me moving and I was just sick and tired of everything

The silent stereo, the transparent box I'm trying to break free

I'm not saying that I'm working hard or anything, I've become so empty Looking away, I lied to myself and put on a front This is so frustrating, what have I been doing Should I just have the mindset that I can do it if I act like my true self?

I'm seeing the things that I want

You're like a baby, a cute baby I just end up forgiving you for everything my sweet sweet heart This is crazy, I'm so stupid Hey, can't you just see that I want you to spoil me

It bothers me whenever you talk about your ex without even realizing it, it hurts She's way prettier, more family-oriented and nicer than I am I'm not the type of girl to worry about those things, but I'm just so frustrated You're an exceptional person, everything about you is exceptional my sweet sweet heart, our love, your sweet honey..

It makes me irritated that we're not talking to each other I understand the situation, but I can't take it in My cold words hurt you And I can't take them back

I'm a hopeless lady, a gloomy lady Right in front of you your sweet sweet honey I'm so lazy, tell me cupid Hey, can you forgive me, I want you to spoil me

It bothers me when I see you from the side unconsciously lost in thought, it makes me feel lonely It's not fair how you have way more memories piled up than me I know that it's none of my business, but I'm just so frustrated You're an exceptional person, you're an exceptional person

I wanna see your friends and family, I'll be a good girl I wanna go to wherever you haven't been, it's making me excited I wanna ask you about whenever you're feeling worried or lonely, I wanna be by your side I wanna see you acting all weird and stupid, because you're so cute

Flowers Bloom, Basking in the Sun

You suggested to do things the way I wanted And yet, when I start to, I just get criticized

Even adults are on their first life, aren't they? There's no foundation, not anything to go off of there

In love, yes, In living, That's right, all of it is me, I'll be the one walking on my own path I know that flowers Will bloom in their own awkward way As they bask in the sun

I wish I had psychokinesis But I can't even analyze something like my own family

Even if friends who were always together Started not to meet up, such is life

In fun times, yes, In nights when you're all by yourself, That's right, in the end, everyone walks a path connected to someone else Even if they get slightly hurt, Flowers bloom Basking in the rain and wind

In fun times, yes, In nights when you're all by yourself, That's right, in the end, everyone walks a path connected to someone else Even if they get slightly hurt, Flowers bloom Basking in the rain and wind

I lined up small notes And put them in your shoe locker this morning I checked all over so no one would see me That's why I've been nervous since this morning

"When the sky gets orange, I'll wait in the place where it feels like you can touch the clouds" I like you

I can't put it into words but I wanna tell you What are you doing right now? That's what's on my mind The future's full of things I don't know, yet I feel like I can enjoy anything When I'm with you I wanna be honest with myself Because I love you

I hear the rusty door slowly opening The time has finally come All pumped up, I turned around with a smile on my face But I let out a sigh when I saw a completely different person

Are you really not coming? Did you not see my letter!? I've gotten all nervous, what should I do? I like you

I can't put it into words but I wanna tell you What are you doing right now? That's what's on my mind The future's full of things I don't know, yet I feel like I can enjoy anything When I'm with you I wanna be honest with myself Because I love you

Trying to buy magazines, I worked hard on my make-up, clothes and diet Even if I get hurt by this I don't have any regrets Because I like you

When our eyes met, I looked away right then I know I chose to do this, but I guess I can't, I'm too shy

SOUL FLAG

Sunny Day full of smiles, Rainy Day full of tears The passing days are like an album

Do you remember the promise you made with me? Let's sing to make it come true, forever

Flying about from town to town Hello I'm always looking for your smile Yo My message is all blurred up Yo I gathered up a bunch of pieces of love No matter what happens, this proof will shake it off I came to understand that this burning link between us is forever

These feelings That passed over words to the heavens is our SOUL FLAG It grabbed onto our hearts, fluttering I'll never forget with you beside me Let's see what comes next in our dreams together

Taking Every Day nonchalantly, the hesitations go Day by Day As I always decide whether things are right or wrong for me

Should I leave things like this, am I making a mistake That's what I asked you inside my heart

I tend to hide my weaknesses They turn into fears that could crush me Wanting to smash that part of me, I faced everything recklessly and came this far Because your voice always gave me the push I needed This irreplaceable bond is etched into my heart

It'll always be there when we get back, This SOUL FLAG of warmth Wrapping it around cold feelings, I held it tight I'm gonna keep holding onto it until morning Let's dance towards our dreams

Yeah Yeah Yeah...... Oh Oh Oh......

We meet for the first time under that big onion

Once I get off at Kudanshita station And get ahead of the people on the hill road The dusk clouds will burn red The onion shining on top of the roof

In this love between two pen-pals, Using only words is a last resort I tried going into the lobby over and over again, trying to find you Being startled by the announcer's voice, The excitement in me spreads like a wave It's lonely without you here Rereading your message, I get up from my seat And just do the same thing again and again The clock keeps on ticking without saying anything The seat I saved for you is all cold

In the applause for an encore, I jumped out all alone with tears in my eyes In Chidorigafuchi, the moon reflects onto the water If I turn around, the onion will be shining in the clear sky

For me, I guess I gulp down yummy things When I work hard

Eat some rice balls, the rice is dancing, Interweaving with the crisp seaweed And making a miraculous harmony You made it just for me It tastes so good, thank you Chew on one, just one more bite What's inside? It's strange how it makes you feel all better Let's dig in

I made them with mom and ate them with dad I can't go back to those good times

When I eat a plump rice ball, I remember That I'm doing just fine

I'll grab a rice ball, holding on tight to the rice I'm humming a symphony, Wishing for it to taste good "You're just like a rice ball maker" I laughed along with my family I'm growing bigger I hope that I can come back home with my head held even higher So I'm gonna make some rice balls I'll see you later

When I was feeling lonely and sad, Rice balls gave me the push I needed Look, each and every grain Always helps out

My Wish to You.

Tonight, all of the hundreds of thousands of sparkling stars Keep on radiating their own light

"I have to lose 3 more kilograms I have to grow out my bangs a little longer or else I won't be able to hide my small left eye..."

I have to hurry or else I'm gonna be late!, you say on your way to work As you get your passcode wrong and check your messages

You always seem to laugh looking all stressed It worries me, you should look up at the sky once in a while

Tonight, all of the hundreds of thousands of sparkling stars Aren't hesitating to radiate their own light Actually, I've never really gotten Make-up or fashion But the most important thing to me is that you smiled for me

"Things aren't really going well with my friends, what should I do...." I wanna try and do something for you, so I'm taking you to the sea

You seem so unhappy with how predictable I am, but you quietly laughed It's actually so simple, I'll walk on as much as I want

Look at all of the hundreds of thousands of restless waves The splash shining on top of the water is singing With love, you think of each other deeply every second and every minute We should be able to treasure each other

Within repetitive days and human emotions, You meet up with people; let's stay together So that you won't lose who you are And so that you'll keep shining

Our backs cross over Are we looking at the same thing? 1 second feels so long It's like the world's stopped I'm gonna put a stop to my hesitating

I wanna play this love song and send it over to you I don't want things to end Without you ever hearing it This love song is only flowing over to you My feelings are being swayed by the wind One day, I know Our feelings will tie up together

I don't need to have fun all day tomorrow I'm okay with just having you in front of me today I can't help it that I wanna let you know I just wanna yell it out over and over again

Listen to this never-ending love song My feelings will always, always Float up to the sky When you look up, you'll see this rainbow love song I know that when we passed by each other, I couldn't say it and just beat around the bush That's 'cause it's important to me

Thank you, sorry, everything You're the one, you're the one There's no one else for me Hum this love song of courage

To all the 8Gousha, we deeply apologize for the sudden announcement.

Although Choutokkyuu and Kouichi will now be walking separate paths, Choutokkyuu will not halt their activities and will still be chasing after their dreams with all the 8Gousha, running along the rails to their dreams with even more challenges to face.

As to when Kouichi will be leaving the group, we have yet to finalize everything, but at this current point in time, in regards to already finished shoots, it will be the 7 of them appearing. Furthermore, as for the already announced 1st single for 2018, the 6 members will still be releasing it as planned. Concerning the 2018 spring arena tour, it will be the 6 members performing.

Please keep on supporting Choutokkyuu and Kouichi.

January 16, 2018 Stardust Staff

-

Choutokkyuu has consisted of cars 1-8, and until now, all 7 of us have been aiming for our dream to perform at Tokyo Dome with the 8Gousha. Nevertheless, I deeply regret that we have to inform all of the 8Gousha of this news on such short notice.

I always wanted to keep on running with all of the members. However, there was really nothing I could do. Thinking of what all the 8Gousha are feeling really hurts my heart, and I feel like it could burst open with all these regrets that I have.

Having someone leave was not what I would have wanted. Choutokkyuu will become 6, and all of you 8Gousha can take 10 minutes to let out all of your feelings on the matter. However, for Kouichi, and for the 6 of us, please try and understand this unavoidable matter.

Choutokkyuu has become us 6 and the 8Gousha, and we will still be running towards our dream of performing at Tokyo Dome. I still wanna keep on running with Kouichi's feelings in mind, too. So to all the 8Gousha out there, I'd really appreciate it if you would support both Kouichi and us 6. Please treat Choutokkyuu well.
