Heartbreak Taiyou Zoku (“Heartbreak Sun-Clan”)

“The glittering setting sun sets my heartbreak on fire as it burns up above.”

OR: A bad boy pines for a girl who’s technically in a relationship with him but appears to be a lot more casual about it than he is.

tobasou ze nagisa made kata wo daite nakesou na CAR-RADIO kaze ni nosete

Let’s speed down to the beach Hold onto my shoulders, The car-radio wailing as it plays¹ As we ride the wind

AROHA no BOTAN hitotsu hazuseba motto jiyuu ni aishiaeru sa

If I undo a single button On my hawaiian shirt We’ll be able to love each other more freely

samishii ze suneru yo na omae no me ga dare datte kizutsuite ikiteru no sa

Lonely, those sulky Eyes of yours Cut through anybody They’re so alive

ore no kimochi wa OOBAAHIITO umibe no ROODO SURAROOMU suru

My emotions are Overheating We slalom through The seaside road

HAATOBUREIKU kibun ni hi wo tsukete KIRAKIRA yuuhi ga moeteru ze

The glittering setting sun Sets This feeling of heartbreak on fire As it burns up above

HAATOBUREIKU kibun de dakishimete ore kara furyou ni nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau atsui taiyou no kisetsu

As I hold you in my arms With a feeling of heartbreak, My bad side Comes out it comes out It comes out it comes out It’s the season of sweltering sun

kanari kizu hitotsu nai ai wa nai ze mou nanimo iranai yo omae ga iru

There’s no such thing as a love That leaves you without a single scratch I don’t need anything anymore Now that you’re here

hiasobi de ii sonna SERIFU ga yaketa kokoro ni shimiteitai ze

“A fling is fine with me” you said Those words Sting my Scorched heart²

WARUbutta RUUKUSU ja damasenai ze gikochinai KISU no ato furueteiru

Don’t be taken in By my bad-boy looks I’m trembling After our first clumsy kiss

ore no MASHIN wa yozora wo koete konya omae wo tsuresaritai yo

I want to take my machine Past the night sky And carry you away Tonight

HAATOBUREIKU kibun ni hi wo tsukete KIRAKIRA yuuhi ga moeteru ze

The glittering setting sun Sets This feeling of heartbreak on fire As it burns up above

HAATOBUREIKU kibun de dakishimete ore kara furyou ni nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau

As I hold you in my arms With a feeling of heartbreak, My bad side Comes out it comes out It comes out it comes out It’s the season of sweltering sun

HAATOBUREIKU kibun ni hi wo tsukete KIRAKIRA yuuhi ga moeteru ze

The glittering setting sun Sets This feeling of heartbreak on fire As it burns up above

HAATOBUREIKU kibun de dakishimete ore kara furyou ni nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau nacchimau atsui taiyou no kisetsu

As I hold you in my arms With a feeling of heartbreak, My bad side Comes out it comes out It comes out it comes out It’s the season of sweltering sun

¹ Although the lyrics explicitly say car radio, the fact that the girl grips the singer’s shoulders (and that a later stanza mentions zigzagging through the beach), coupled with the singer’s “bad boy” image makes me think that the vehicle in question is actually a motorcycle. And yes—apparently it is possible to install a car-radio on a bike.
