Formed in Tokyo, Japan, the unit was created when Nakata discovered Ichikawa in a fashion magazine, and contacted her through her editor. Drawing influences from lounge, bossa nova, and shibuya-kei, they released their self-titled album in 2004. Due to Ichikawa's studies at a fashion college, however, the group was unofficially disbanded shortly after, and Nagisa now works as a fashion PR assistant.
Cosmetic Happy
NAGISA COSMETIC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
これはきっと 私のせいじゃないけど たぶん
いつもよりも 単目に支度して 彼を待つの
お気に入りの 洋服はないけど不安じゃないの
一番ステキなコスメチックはハートの中に
一番キレイなコスメチックは女の子のハートなの
がんばるのは めんどうだし つかれるのもイヤなの
だからそんな 気はあんまりないんだけど いつか
私のこと 好きになったことで あなたは今
世界中の 誰よりもハッピーでしょう？ って思うのよ
一番ステキなコスメチックはハートの中に
一番キレイなコスメチックは女の子のハートなの
Cosmetic Happy
The lyrics of NAGISA COSMETIC's song Cosmetic Happy talk about a girl getting ready for an important day to meet her lover. However, she couldn't find her favorite dress that she had kept aside for the occasion. Despite that, she feels secure and doesn't let any anxiety set in. The song suggests that real beauty comes from within a person's heart, and that makeup and clothes are superficial, and may enhance one's appearance, but they don't determine one's worth or beauty.
The song then talks about how the girl doesn't want to put in effort or get tired, and she may not feel like working hard right now. But, the person who loves her, the person for whom she is all dressed up and waiting, will be the happiest in the world just because they love her. The song concludes by reiterating that the most beautiful cosmetic is a girl's heart.
Overall, the song is a reminder that looks and material items may not bring happiness or contentment—they may enhance our appearance for a while but are ultimately ephemeral. It's essential to nurture and work on the beauty of the heart and personality, which lasts a lifetime.

@Saudi Audi oh erm i put the meaning of 今 into the following line of the translation just because i thought it flowed better in english that way…
