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……

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
Join hands
This look at the SOUL FLAG will never change
As it shines down throughout the world
I’m gonna keep holding onto it as tomorrow comes
Let’s hold up our dreams and fly through

I won’t forget
The day I first met you
My soul got so crazy Hop
Our eyes met Hop
We kept on talking Hop
My heartbeat Don’t Stop

I wanna tell you all about myself in the morning, noon and night
But everytime you’re in front of me, I can’t be honest
I wanna act natural, but I don’t know what’s happening Inside Of Me
We’re getting so far apart that my feelings are getting out of hand

I wanna see you but I can’t,
I wanna tell you but I can’t,
Real love doesn’t need strategizing
Now take me away right now
With those long, slender fingers of yours

Tell me, What You Wanna Say
Are you trying to act tough? Hey, why?
Just see how my feelings are overflowing
I’m Going Crazy for you
Kiss me in a moment
Like a demon going off of impulse

Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
Every love needs Monster!
Hold On, We’re Going On
Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!

Yo I feel like I’m choking up
From this violent Dance in my heart
All I can see is you
And Everyday, I can’t concentrate on anything

I know that this is (Love! Love! Love!)
Just looking at your smile makes me go (Bong! Bong! Bong!)
I can’t stop anymore, I have a Message for you
And it’s “I wanna see you right now”

Worrying about the littlest things,
Our feelings crossing over again,
I wanna throw away all my pride, this is a love of instinct
I’ll grab onto your sweet, ripe lips
And never let go

Find me What You Wanna Do
Hey, tell me, why are you so mean?
Find the answer in the stardust
Right now, I Just Wanna Know
The Reason as to why it feels like my heart is breaking apart
On the back of my neck

Like a Monster
Like a Monster

If we never met,
Would I be feeling this frustrated?
It felt like my feelings would explode
But the monster laughed at me

Tell me, What You Wanna Say
Are you trying to act tough? Hey, why?
Just see how my feelings are overflowing
I’m Going Crazy for you
Kiss me in a moment
Like a demon going off of impulse

Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
Every love needs Monster!
Hold On, We’re Going On
Get me gimme love Monster!
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!

You’re a Love Monster!
We’ll always be together

Under the Big Onion

It’s fate for love between two pen-pals
To get so intense, it’s saddening
It’s painful to see the blue ink blur again
‘Cause we’re too young, too far apart
'Cause we can’t meet, it was inevitable that we’d start to miss each other
Breaking the bank,
I buy a ticket to head to you
And put a photo in my pass case
With a fixed smile on my face

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

A wave of people are headed to Kudanshita Station
I’m 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

An important announcement

As always, we appreciate your support for Choutokkyuu.

We apologize for the sudden news, but it has been decided that Kouichi will be leaving the group.

He has been active as a back vocal for Choutokkyuu since 2011, but after having discussions with him about what he would like to do in the future and taking everything into consideration, his goals were different from what the group wanted to achieve, and so we arrived at the decision to let him stop his activities as a member of Choutokkyuu.

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.

-

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.

Evening Path

Looking out the school window at the orange sky,
I noticed that my shadow grew just a little bit longer from yesterday
In the parking lot, I saw a cat all laid back and yawning
When I suddenly smelled something really good
Somewhere, someone was making food

The crows cawed
In unison
The sound of the evening cicadas
Blended together

Turning my back to the sunset’s sparkle,
I’ll hum a tune and walk home the usual way,
Walking over shadows
Before the day ends

The sunset’s sparkle really is pretty
It looks a little different from when I was little
Maybe the place that I remember
Is still there even now

The cold wind blows
As the summer days get farther away
Even now, I remember
What I said when I was little
Even now, I still think
That it’s just as “pretty” as it was that day

When I realized I was chasing after
The silently sinking orange light,
The crows were gone

Just as the sparkle of the sunset is starting to disappear,
The pretty sparkling moon is showing up
I’ll make sure to remember this
And start walking again

The chirps of the cicadas are getting quieter
Even the daylight is getting shorter
I wanna treasure this small amount of time
Before the completely sets
