Shuen no Onna / Leading Lady
Bring it!

“oitsukenai” nante iu no ne, shitta kocchaanai wa
oitsukou to omotteiru kara kakkou ga warui no

hontou no kando o misete donna toko o ki ni itta no? ...kitto sennou yo

ii ja nai “anata wa anata”
maneshinaide saeteiru kono yarikata
atashi dake ni yurusareta tokubetsu na houhou

“minna ni wa himitsu” datte sa, shitta kocchaanai wa
naishogoto nante daikirai shindara dou sun no

honne no mama isasete donna toko o kakushitai no? ...chotto inbou yo

toritsukanaide
sou deshou “hayari no onna”
bika shinaide moeteiru kono yarikata
anata no miteiru watashi wa imadoki no guuzou

kawaiku nai wa
...sou desu “watashi wa atashi”
chakasanaide ueteiru ima o ubau na

tsukinuketai no
ii ja nai “namami no onna”
sarashitai no yaiteiru anata wa dare?
yarikata shidai de kanarazu tanoshimeru no yo
naze nara hora jinsei no shuyaku wa atashi
saiyuushuushou jushou!
I didn’t know you’d say something like “I can’t catch you”
Because I’m thinking I’ll catch you, I don’t look cool

Showing your true sensitivity, what kind of place did you fall in love with? ...It’s sure to be brainwashing


Don’t chase after me
It’s fine, isn’t it? “You are you”
Don’t copy me – I am good at this way of doing things
A special method allowed only to me

I didn’t know it was “a secret from everyone”
I hate secrets and stuff – if I died, what would you do?

Made to act with my true intentions, what kind of place do I want to hide? ...It’s a bit of conspiracy

Don’t cling to me
Isn’t that right? “A fashionable lady”
Don’t beautify yourself – it’s sprouting, this way of doing things
The me you have watched is this era’s idol


I’m not cute
...yes – “I am me”
Don’t make fun of me – do not steal this starving present

I want to break through
It’s fine, isn’t it? “A flesh-and-blood lady”
I want to expose it – who is this jealous you?
Dependent upon my way of doing things, I’ll certainly be able to have fun
Because, look, your leading actress in life is me
I win the top prize!
