Lyrics

In-game Version
Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字) Translation
あの子も可愛くなったな
素敵な出会いしたでしょ?
1つや2つの失敗
恐れちゃ何も始まらない Yes
Ano ko mo kawaiku natta na
Sutekina deai shitadesho?
Hitotsu ya futatsu no shippai
Osorecha nani mo hajimaranai Yes
She's gotten so cute now
Did you meet someone wonderful?
You make a mistake or two
You'll go nowhere if you're afraid Yes

離れて初めて
気がついたんだよ
ホントに大切な人が
そばにいたこと
Hanarete hajimete
Kigatsuita nda yo
Hontoni taisetsunahito ga
Soba ni ita koto
After I already left
I noticed it
That someone really important
Is by my side

友情なんて 言葉にすると
少し照れくさ思うけど
Everyday Everytime
Yūjō nante Kotoba ni suruto
Sukoshi terekusa omoukedo
Everyday Everytime
I can't put friendship In words
It's embarrasing, I know
Everyday Everytime

青春の花 世にも現実
どこかあつあつだよ
羽ばたけ友情
Seishun no hana Yonimo genjitsu
Doko ka atsuatsuda yo
Habatake yūjō
The flower of youth Reality of life
it's getting hotter somewhere
Flourishing friendship

友情だから 損も得もない
みんな一心不乱に生きればいい
Everyday Everytime
Yūjōdakara Son mo toku mo nai
Min'na isshinfuran ni ikireba ī
Everyday Everytime
It's friendship No loss no gain
We should all live in peace
Everyday Everytime

青春なんて 少し無茶がいい
いつも振り返れば
そこには友情
Seishun nante Sukoshi mucha ga ī
Itsumo furikaereba
Soko ni wa yūjō
Youth Can be a little reckless
Especially when looking back
It's a friendship

We talked all night long
Who did we end up talking about?
And we laughed about our tears
I think we're getting closer Yes

To be loved
You don't know how reassuring it is

クラスメイト / ぱじゃまっ娘クラブ Classmate / Pajama Musume Club



作詞:つんく 作曲:つんく 編曲:大久保薫 Lyrics: Tsunku Composition: Tsunku Arrangement: Kaoru Okubo

※ぱじゃまっ娘クラブ・・・かれん、もえあず、吉田仁美 *Pajama Musume Club: Karen, Azuki Moeno, Hitomi Yoshida




僕個人的なタイムラインでいうと昨年手術の退院後にこの曲を作曲しました。 In my personal timeline, I composed this song last year after I got out of the hospital for surgery.

リズム天国の唄ものでいうところでは一番最後に書き上げた曲という事になります。 In terms of Rhythm Heaven's songs, this is the last song I wrote.

納期押し迫る中、それでも「この俺から溢れ出てくる力ある感動する曲に仕上げたい!」 そんな気持ちがそのまま曲になって仕上がったと思っています。 Even though the deadline was fast approaching, "I want to make this a powerful and moving song that overflows from me!" I believe that this is how I wanted the song to turn out.

どこの場面で登場するかはこのゲームのお楽しみ!ってことでかな~り楽しみにしながらゲームを続けていただきたいなと思います。 You'll have to wait and see where it appears in this game! So I hope you will looking forward to it while playing.


この曲は3人で歌っています。 This song is sung by three people.

実はここで正直言うと、この曲を作った時の仮タイトルが「パジャマッコ」でした。 なので、ぱじゃまっ娘クラブというチーム名にしました! Actually, to be honest here, the tentative title of this song when I wrote it was "Pajamako". So we decided to name the team Pajama Musume Club!

僕は曲を作る度に毎回なんかしらの仮タイトルをつけます。 それはその曲のイメージの時もあれば、作った瞬間に目に入ったものの名前をちょっともじってみたり。 完全に適当な造語だったり・・・ で、この曲の仮タイトルが「パジャマッコ」。 Every time I write a song, I give it some kind of tentative title. Sometimes it's the image of the song, sometimes it's just the name of something I saw at the moment I wrote it. Sometimes it's a completely randomly coined word...and the tentative title for this song is "Pajamako".

その曲を歌う子たちだったので、 ちょっと文字を変えてみたりしつつ「ぱじゃまっ娘クラブ」としました。 Since they were the ones who sang the song, I changed a few letters and called it "Pajama Musume Club".

(ちなみにさっき紹介した「ときめきのストーリー」を歌う「トキメキスト」は 歌詞が出来上がってタイトルが確定した後につけたユニット名であるということはここに記述しておきましょう。) (Incidentally, it should be noted that the "Tokimekist" who sings "Tokimeki no Story" is a unit name that was given after the lyrics were written and the title was decided.)

この曲はゲームの中の映像とサウンドがこれでもか!って位ばっちり融合していて、 心から涙するようなそんな素晴らしい演出と出会えます。 This song is a perfect combination of the images and sounds in the game! The wonderful performance will bring you to tears.

歌ってる3人はこれまたびっくりするほど個性的でバラバラな声。 The three singers have surprisingly unique and disparate voices.

「この3人が混じり合うのかい!?」って感じがする位なんです。 "Are these three going to fit together?!" That's what I felt.

でも、これが混じり合うといい響きになって分厚さが増すんですよね。 クラシックの演奏なんかでも同じ音色の楽器ばかり集まってユニゾンするより、 違うタイプの楽器で同じメロディをユニゾンした方が断然厚みが出る。 まさにあれと同じ現象です。 However, when they are mixed together, they sound good and become thicker, don't they? In classical performances, it is much thicker when different types of instruments play the same melody in unison than when they all play the same tone in unison. This is exactly the same phenomenon.

ということで、この曲に出会える時を楽しみにゲームを続けてくださいね! So, please look forward to when you get to see this song as you play the game!
