Spring Accident 窓辺へと視線を遠く 逃がしてる さよならと言いたげな目が 沈んでる 春風の誘惑に 夢見てるだけと 言って 恋人の過ち…
Wonder Trip Lover もうじき 夢から覚める唇に 静かなKissを残して消えた人 ひと足早く私に会いに来た あなたは たぶん未来の恋人ね 友…
くちびるNetwork ねぇ... 誘ってあげる ロマンティックに Kiss が欲しいの？ ほら... くちびるに Network 私を抱きた…
ジュピター Ah 燃え上がる この胸のときめき Ah どうしよう 誘惑のウィンク 夢の中で何もなかったのに Ah つまさきが踊りだ…
ヴィーナス誕生 眠れない今夜は素顔の私 あなたの夢に届けたくて 窓越しにきらめく月のシャワーに ためらい流し生まれ変わる Love y…
銀河のバカンス 星の河に浮かんだ ゴンドラに揺られ 夜の空を横切る 月と肩を並べて 星のささやき 銀の鈴の音 聞こえる 銀河のバカンス…
