No Exit Orion

Originally Sung by Printemps

From Love Live! school idol festival

 [ Game Ver. ]

It's out of my hands, I sense it growing in my soul
That promise you made is quickly turning into powder snow
I'm scared of our fate, I hope it's not a big mistake
I'm searching for the reason why I've got a strange feeling inside

I won't stand for rankings, so I'll prove I'm the best
Leave it all to me, and I will take care of the rest!

Just let the winter sky guide you tonight,
I'll gain the courage to fight
Orion's shining bright, now you can say goodbye
The exit's nowhere in sight

Let us affirm our vows with magic spells
I won't let anyone else
take you away from me
What other do you need?
I love you, why can't you see?

There's no path away, it's all for your sake
Give your future to the darkness coming from my warm embrace
You won't get away, you won't get away, don't you try...

I Want to be More than a Memory (Omoide Ijou ni Naritakute)

1st Track from their 4th Single
[Game Ver.]

Morning sunlight dazzles me
Going across the hill I see
the ginko trees are quivering
in the summer breeze

Standing outside the gate to school (I want to see you)
Finding a chance to speak to you
(I tell you) that the sky is a pretty blue
But I still can't say the truth...

I wish that I could confess to you
but my words won't come through
You were standing there,
You were standing oh so near...

I'm walking down the street all alone,
I search for you, but still, you don't show
Why is it so embarrassing to me?
Why can't I say a thing?

I want to be with you, but I hide
My heart is calling out to your side
I couldn't bear to be a memory
Oh no, I can't, oh please...

Farewell to Tenderness (Yasashisa Sayonara)

 Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay
Insert Song for SDF Macross

Deep in my chest there's an ache, like a draft on a windy day
Although we fought and made many mistakes
Through it all, you gave me so much kindness and grace
That is why I had to leave you, I can't bear to see your face!

Without a word, I ran away then
bolting from your empty room
Wandering through all the streets to the station stop
Only then did I finally get it...

All of the kindness that you showed
wasn't weakness, but a strength that grows
It's been so long, so you changed, and I've done the same;
that is why I had to say goodbye...

***

Floating by in a haze is the boredom of these passing days
Feeling my heart drifting further away
Couldn't you see it? Everyday we were together was the same
Though I once used to love it, now it's something I hate

Once I am gone, is it different?
Sitting at home all alone by yourself?
Let this be a new page in the book of life
This is it, I won't turn back to previous chapters

All of the kindness you gave
I return it to where it came
Now that our past has been erased, it's a past we can't change
So I said: "Don't hold me back no longer..."

Ending Song for Macross Frontier Movie 2: Sayonara no Tsubasa
Insert Song for Toki no Meikyuu

I'm sure I feel it here within my soul,
it overflows with emotions that I have never known
When I think of you, my heart's the universe
a river full of stars, it sparkles in the dark

The days I have with you are growing short
and so I'll choose to use them to love you forevermore
"How I love you so",
the strength I have will grow
Although it's been a long road,
I can feel you in the distance!
Now I start to run; I can see your light that burns like the sun

Let us meet again, just like we did today
Now I'm sure I know that this will be our fate
I'll protect all your feelings
so persistent through the winds
Let me swear on my life
that my promise is true 'til the end of time!

*

Even if I'm reborn,
no matter how long it takes,
I know I'll find you someday...

Let us meet again, just like we did today
Now I'm sure I know that this will be our fate
Finally, I understand,
let me hold it in my hands
You're my reason to shine
You're the love of my life!

Let us meet again, just like we did today
I love you so much, this was the choice I made
I will pray to the gods above, my devotion is enough
Could they send me a sign? Tell me that you are alive?!

Now I can't turn back, the night is almost gone
I'll see you again, through mist at light of dawn

If my wings ever falter, or if I soar up high
Oh, could you stay by my side
I wanna stay by your side

I love you...

I love you...

*

Whenever I sing out my love for you,
I hope my voice will echo through the vastness of the world,
a gentle stellar spark that glimmers far above, beyond eternity

A/N: god... I had this as a blank document for like 3 years... idk why but inspiration finally struck me last week LOLL. I'm pretty happy with this one!

I to AI (アイ to アイ)

Originally Sung by Minori Suzuki
Official Audition Song for the 2025 Macross Diva Audition

A/N: since we all have no idea what the Macross 2026 series is gonna look like yet, I'm just gonna guess the vibes for these lyrics 😂 I'll change them later if I'm wrong.

Take this song from my heart...
And fly!
Go high!

*

The heat is rising up, take aim and fire
Your destiny is yours, so go and seize it with your hands,
Don't you give up, give up, come on!

Mouth to mouth, we're bonded tightly 
Face to face, I see you clearly
Take my song of love, and fly!

I love you, so love me too,
my singing voice will guide you through
the power I hold is selfish, born from all my deep desires!
I can't stop and I won't stop,
my feelings are the truth,
and so I'll sing this song 'til the end of time
I'll keep burning more so I'll feel alive

Take this song of mine and fly!

Hold Me Tight ~A Surreal Love~ (Dakishimete ~Surreal na Koi~)

Originally Sung by Keiko Utsumi
Track 3 on the album "L'arc~en~ciel"

Starry skies form a painting, dripping ink into the night
I can feel your warmth beside me, down this long highway
What is this feeling? Don't take me home, my darling
I lean in closer for a kiss...

Hold on, whispering secrets
that stay blue, I hear a soft melody
one that colours my heart a tender pink

Hold on, gone in the blink of an eye,
more than 3 years have passed by
I think I might run out of time
on this surreal kind of love

***

I'm awoken from my slumber by the rhythm of the sea
though romantic moonlight pours down, it's a lonely feeling
I just don't get it! You're always such a mystery
evaporating after dawn

Hold on, bringing me closer,
I'm still blue, now is the time
for my heart to grow strong,
though I know my tears still fall

Hold on, tying the strings of our fates
even though you're right beside me,
I feel like you're out of my reach
you're fading from my sight...

***

Hold on, I know it soon will be over,
so it spills out from inside
it's a soft kind of melancholic sigh

Hold on, I know there's someone else,
another love you owe your heart to
But even so, I'll never give up
our surreal kind of love

[Outro]
Hold on, whispering secrets
that stay blue, hearing a soft melody
one that colours my heart a tender pink

Hold on, bringing me closer,
I'm still blue, now is the time
for my heart to grow strong,
though I know my tears still fall

Ég Veit Þú Kemur (I Know You'll Come to Me Tonight)

Original Song by Oddgeir Kristjánsson
Based on the cover by Laufey & the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra 

I know you'll come visit me tonight,
although we met just yesterday
I won't believe any words you say,
the stars will guide you to my side

Then all would be as it always was,
your heart will know before you know
The space remaining between our souls
will finally become one whole

And later, when the pale moon
would have wandered far away,
we'll walk the dream we dreamed of,
that we love and hold dear

I know you'll come visit me tonight,
although we met just yesterday
I won't believe any words you say,
the stars will guide you to my side

[orchestral interlude]

I know you'll come visit me tonight,
although we met just yesterday
I won't believe any words you say,
the stars will guide you to my side
