Title: Momoiro Kataomoi (Peach Colored Oneway Love)
Words: Tsunku
Music: Tsunku

Peach colored oneway love, I'm in love.
Staring at him, when his eye catches mine
my heart goes pitter-pat

Peach colored fantasy

This is my first oneway love like oneway love
I think like him so much, I don't know what's what anymore.

I wonder if that person... has a girlfriend?
He shows up even in my dreams.
I'm gonna think about him even more than I do now.

I'm having a peach colored oneway love
All of a sudden, I'm in love.
Encountering each other by chance,
my heart goes pitter-pat.

Peach colored oneway love, I'm in love.
Staring at him, when his eye catches mine
my heart goes pitter-pat

Peach colored fantasy

I can't invite him, I just couldn't
I mean, I get nervous.
I understand, oh yes I do it's time to reveal how I feel.

get myself "pumped up"....
I'm gonna say something to him
. I gather my courage and say "hello" just as quickly, "goodbye"
This isn't much of a conversation...

Having a peach colored oneway love but,
I'm hoping to make it a two way one,
I'm closer than I was yesterday.
My heart goes pitter-pat

Peach colored oneway love, Kissing
Having a dream I don't wanna miss any part of.
Can you see it too,
the color of love?

the peach colored season

PEACH!!!

Translator's Notes: Kataomoi could probably have been translated as Unrequitted love or something but everything we thought of sounded too serious. Oneway gets the job done I think. Mune ga kyururun... this is hard to translate but the image is really simple. Just put both your hands on your chest, and squeeze them in...and say kyururun! Like your heart is getting squished by love. Contract your whole body into the motion, and that's what Aya is feeling. Pitter-pat really doesn't get that feeling across but we were unaware what word would. If we had said my chest gets tight... it would sound like she was having a cardiac arrest...that's not cute. Now that you understand all is right with the world. kokuru is a word being used by young people today which is the same as kokuhaku (confess how you feel for someone). PEEEEAAAACH!
