DEAR MYSTERIES’s Contrast Japanese Lyrics English Translation
TOMOO describes how a single word or glance can spark a rush of feelings. The lyrics mention the evening breeze cooling flushed cheeks, while the narrator watches someone they can’t quite reach. The songwriter captures the tension between closeness and distance, as memories of a distant profile linger in their mind.
Hotetta hoho o samasu yo naLike it’s cooling down my flushed cheeks,
Yuugata no kaze wa yasashiithe evening breeze is so gentle.
Narande kimi to aruita kyou ga isshou mono ni naruToday, walking side-by-side with you, will become a lifelong memory.
Nani no kinashi ni yasashiiYou’re kind without even trying,

Aa haneneagaru shuuchuuryokuah, my focus just spikes.

Tooi yokogao yakitsuketa aaand I’ve burned your distant profile into my memory, ah.
