- Dreaming Girl - Koi, Hajimemashite (Hello, Love)

Lyricist, Composer: Mariya Takeuchi ・ Arranger: Mitsuo Hagita

Mama no erabu doresu wa niawanai toshigoro yo

Itsumademo kodomo da to omowanaide oite ne

Pink no manicure sae mada mada oazuke na no

Sukoshi zutsu kono mune ga tokimeiteru no ni


Koi shitara dare datte kirei ni naritai

Suteki na lady ni kawaru hi wo yume miteru

Locket ni shinobaseta shashin wo mitsumenagara

Kyou mo mata tameiki de hitokoto “oyasumi”


Mayonaka no telephone mo yurushite kurenai

Itsu ni natta nara jiyuu ni aeru no ka na…


Otona e no step wo aruki hajimeteru no ni

Wakatte wa moraenai watashi no kono kimochi

Kagami no mae ni suwari furueru yubi de sotto

Kuchibeni wo tsuketa koto mama ni wa naisho yo


Koi shitara dare datte kirei ni naritai

Suteki na lady ni kawaru hi wo yume miteru

Hikidashi no oku ni aru watashi dake no diary

Katasumi ni kakikonda hitokoto I love You


Katasumi ni kakikonda hitokoto I love You

I'm at the age where the dresses mom pick don’t suit me.

Don’t go thinking I’ll be a child forever.

I’m not even allowed pink nail polish.

Even though my heart is beginning to flutter.


Anyone would want to be pretty when they’re in love.

I’m dreaming of the day I become a beautiful lady.

I gaze at the photograph hidden in my locket.

Once again, I sigh and say ‘goodnight.’


Please forgive my midnight calls.

When will we be old enough to meet up freely...


I’m making my first steps towards being an adult,

But no one seems to understands these feelings of mine.

Sat in front of the mirror, with trembling fingers,

I secretly put on lipstick. Don't let mom know.


Anyone would want to be pretty when they’re in love.

I’m dreaming of the day I become a beautiful lady.

Deep inside my chest of drawers is my private diary,

And in the corner, I’ve written the words ‘I Love You...’


And in the corner, I’ve written the words ‘I Love You...’
