Lyrics (Japanese):
まっくらいトンネルを 歩き続けているような
毎日が続いて ヘコむけど
ボクのせいじゃないと 口に出してしまったら
そこから先には 道はない

自分のせいだと思えばいい そして自分を変えればいい

あっという間に夜が来て 半分かけた月を見る
今日一日なにをした？ そんな事考えたくも無い

(Time Flies　Time Flies)

じんわり 確実に 今日も宇宙はふくらんで
キミとの間も 離れてゆく

がっかりしてるに決まっている 勝手に想い さらに離れる

あっという間に陽が昇り あんまり眠れたような気がしない
できる事は全部やった 無理やりそう思いたいだけ
(Oh yeah)ボクは誰だ？ どんなやつ？ まだ学べることあるだろう
キミは誰だ？ どんなのが好き？ 世の中知らないことだらけ

(Time Flies　Time Flies)
(Oh yeah)

楽なことだけしたいのなら それなりにだれか笑わせて
あっという間に命など 燃え尽きてしまうというのに
様子ばかりうかがって すべてが相手と運まかせ
(Oh yeah)あっという間に陽が昇り あんまり眠れたような気がしない(Oh 眠れない)
ただ呆然と失うのはイヤ ボクはもっとキミを知りたい

Lyrics (Romaji):
makkurai tonneru wo aruki tsuzuketeiru you na
mainichi ga tsuzuite hekomu kedo

boku no sei ja nai to kuchi ni dashiteshimattara
soko kara saki ni ha michi ha nai

jibun no sei da to omoeba ii soshite jibun wo kaereba ii

attoiu ma ni yoru ga kite hanbun kaketa tsuki wo miru
kyou ichi nichi nani wo shita? Sonna koto kangaetaku mo nai

(Time Flies Time Flies)

gakkari shiteru ni kimatteiru katte ni omoi sara ni hanareru

attoiu ma ni hi ga nobori anmari nemureta you na ki ga shinai

(Oh yeah) boku ha dare da? donna yatsu? mada manaberu koto aru darou
kimi ha dare da? donna no ga suki? yo no naka shiranai koto darake

(Time Flies Time Flies)

(Oh yeah)

raku na koto dake shitai no nara sore nari ni dare ka warawasete

attoiu ma ni inochi nado moetsukiteshimau to iu no ni

(Oh yeah) attoiu ma ni hi ga nobori anmari nemureta you na ki ga shinai (Oh nemurenai)
tada bouzen to ushinai no ha iya boku ha motto kimi wo shiritai

Lyrics (English):
Just like walking through an endless pitch-black tunnel
Every day comes and passes, leaving me depressed

If I claim that all of this is no fault of mine,
There's never gonna be a way out

I should accept that I'm in the wrong, and set out to change myself

Suddenly, the night comes, and I find myself looking to that crescent moon
What is it that I've done today?  I'd rather not think about it

(Time Flies, Time Flies)

Today, I'm making an effort to knowingly broaden my horizons
And drift away from you

It's obvious you're disappointed with my leaving you so suddenly

Suddenly, another day arrives, and I'm not getting that feeling that I've slept lately
Just want to force myself into thinking that I did everything I could.
(Oh yeah) Who am I?  What kind of person?  There's so much left for me to learn
Who are you?  What do you like?  So much that I don't yet know about this world

(Time Flies, Time Flies)

(Oh yeah)

If all you want is pleasantries, have at it, and let people laugh at you

Suddenly, life comes to an end in an instant
I await better times, and hope it'll all go well with my partner

(Oh yeah) Before you see it, another day rises and I don't seem to have the feeling that I've slept lately  (Oh I can't sleep)
I merely loathe losing my confusion, and only want to get to know you better

Lyrics (Japanese):

(We're on the Freedom Train)

すべて思いどおりになるのが自由
そんな誤解してるから 簡単にうろたえる

さぁまた出発の時間だ どうする?

引き返さない 急に止まれない
We're on the Freedom Train 心決めたら
吹き飛んでゆく 涙も声も
You're on the Freedom Train ただ一度きり

考え込んだって構わない 君の自由
行き先を選ぶこと それは君の責務(つとめ)

不満なら降りればいい スピードが鈍るからね(Oh, yeah)

引き返さない 急に止まれない
We're on the Freedom Train 心決めたら
純な想いだけ 燃やしながら
You're on the Freedom Train 終点だけめざす

あれもこれもって そんなのどっちつかず
We're on the Freedom Train みんな逃げてくよ
恨んじゃいけない 妬んじゃいけない
You're on the Freedom Train 潔く走れ

(みなさん! 何かにつけて自由自由って言いますけど)(Set me free!)
(別に自由はあなただけのものでも、楽なものでもありませんよ!)(Set me free!)
(自由への道は時として長く、寂しく、そして険しいのです!)

引き返さない 急に止まれない
We're on the Freedom Train 心決めたら
吹き飛んでゆく 涙も声も
You're on the Freedom Train ただ一度きり

幸せはどこにも落ちていない
We're on the Freedom Train 自分の中にある
選んだレールの上にしかないもの
You're on the Freedom Train(Uh!)それこそが自由

Lyrics (Romaji):

(We're on the Freedom Train)

subete omoidoori ni naru no ga jiyuu
sonna gokai shiteru kara kantan ni urotaeru

We're on the Freedom Train jibun no naka ni aru

You're on the Freedom Train (Uh!) sore koso ga jiyuu

Lyrics (English):

(We're on the Freedom Train)

Freedom is everything, manifesting in just the way you imagined
You're misunderstanding, making a habit of losing your temper with ease

It's departure time again, what do you plan to do?

There's no turning back, we can't make a sudden stop
We're on the Freedom Train, If you make up your mind
We'll disappear with our voices and tears in hand
You're on the Freedom Train just once

I don't mind your contemplation, it's your own freedom
It's your call to choose whether to take those forward steps

If you're unsatisfied, now's the time to get off while the speed is on the decline  (Oh, yeah)

There's no turning back, we can't make a sudden stop
We're on the Freedom Train, If you make up your mind
While only pure memories illuminate themselves
You're on the Freedom Train, you'll only wake up at end of the line

Not understanding this or that
We're on the Freedom Train, Everybody's on the run
You have to accuse, have to be jealous
You're on the Freedom Train, Run bravely

(Everyone! You call it freedom if you're talking about something associated with freedom, but--)(Set me free!)
(Even though freedom is in your possession, it doesn't mean that it'll always be pleasant!)(Set me free!)
(The path to freedom is long in terms of time, and painful, and it's demanding!)

There's no turning back, we can't make a sudden stop
We're on the Freedom Train, If you make up your mind
We'll disappear with our voices and tears in hand
You're on the Freedom Train just once

Happiness doesn't come from anywhere
We're on the Freedom Train, It's inside of you
The things that lie ahead on the rail that only you've chosen
You're on the Freedom Train (Uh!) That's freedom

B'z Interview Be With! Vol. 081 Official Fanclub Special Issue March 2009

Legend:
―: Interviewer
M: Tak Matsumoto
I: Koshi Inaba

―In the last report, the last thing you did was a photoshooting and then went into a break from November 2008, but were you really on a break?
I：I was in Hawaii all the time.
―What did you do on Hawaii?
I：In the morning I went surfing, and from noon I just relaxed.
―There have also been talks about you two having a meal in a TV show in Hawaii. (laughs)
I：Ah...yeah. (laughs)
M：That was on new year's day.
I：Yes.
―Have you talked about doing this long before the show?
M：Yeah, we already decided we would do it.
―Matsumoto-san, you didn't go golfing in Hawaii this time?
M：I pretty much went golfing every day. (laughs)
―Did you go to your usual place for golfing?
M：No, this time I went to a lot of different golf courses.
―Have you always been in Hawaii during your break, Matsumoto-san?
M：I was attending Gibson's “Dark Fire” announcement event, so I have been there after that was over, after Christmas.
―What kind of guitar is the “Dark Fire“?
M：It's a kind of robot guitar. You can change the tuning with just one switch.
I：That's interesting.
―You were taking a look at the “Dark Fire” at the announcement event, but have you played it already?
M：I played with the guitar, but I haven't used it in recording, so I don't know the Dark Fire's potential yet.
―You two also went to concerts, right?
I：I went to a doa concert in Shibuya. Everybody was having fun. It was really good. I was also meeting the band backstage.
M：I was playing a song as a guest at Amuro-san's and Hamada Mari's concert.
―Have you planned doing this all along?
M：No, it was right before the concert. I just wanted to go see Mari's concert, but then she suddenly convinced me, so I thought let's do it.
I：Masuda Takanobu was at the keyboard?
M：Yeah. Miyawaki “JOE” Satoshi and Yamada Tomonori and the like were there, too. Just like old times. It has been some 20 years since I last played “Blue Revolution”. The end was really great, too~.
―Has it also been some 20 years since you last met the band members?
M：No, that's not the case with Mari-chan, but I don't think I have met her even once during the year.

―On December 10, “B'z LIVE-GYM Hidden Pleasure~Typhoon No.20” was released, and, along with it, a B'z tree was showcased in Hachikoumae, Shibuya.
I：I saw the tree.
M：I've seen it, too.
―The tree changes its lighting at day and at night, which one have you seen?
I：The tree was shining in blue color, so it was at night.
M：I think I've seen it at night as well.
―In the week it was released, B'z balloons have been distributed, have you seen this as well?
I：I've seen it! It was really cute.

Lyrics(Japanese):

雨あがりの道路(みち) また歩き出した時
橋のむこうに 虹がでたんだ
ならんで見たのはいつ?
Tシャツが ぐしょぐしょに 濡れても笑い歌う
ふたり 何のためらいも不安もなくて
まぶしい歓びだけ

こんな僕に がまん強く
つきあってくれたよね (Thank You)

Glory Days 一緒にいるだけでいい
奇跡のような 瞬間の連続
今日も その柔かい力に包まれて
僕は前を見てる

しゃべり続けてた 電話が熱くなるほど
そんな 無邪気な季節を越えて
どれくらい 時は流れた?

手をつないでくれた時
生きてく理由（わけ）を知った (I Love You)

Glory Days 君に救われた日々
自分のことを ちょっと好きになれる
どんなに この街が姿を変えていっても
この胸に愛はある

Glory Days 一緒にいるだけでいい
奇跡のような 瞬間の連続
命はてるときが来ても 燦然と輝く 笑顔だけあふれる
Glory Days 二度と戻らない日々
胸をはって ここから歩くよ
どこかで きっと新しい虹を見つめている 君のこと想う
また出会える日を想う

Lyrics(English):

The moment we were walking in the streets again after the rain,
a rainbow appeared across the bridge.
When did I see it beside you?
Even though our T-shirts are soaking wet, we are still singing happily.
We were without hesitations and fears,
just bright happiness.

You put up with someone like me,
and accompanied me. (Thank You)

Glory Days, I just want to be with you
For a series of moments just like miracles.
Today I am engulfed by your kindness again.
I am looking ahead.

We continued to talk so much that our telephones warmed up.
After spending such an unsophisticated time,
how much time has passed?

When you were holding hands with me,
I got to know the reason of life. (I love you)

Glory Days, the days I was saved by you,
I can love myself a bit.
No matter how much this city changes its form,
there's love in this heart.

Glory Days, I just want to be with you
For a series of moments just like miracles.
Even when my life ends, I will only show a bright and shining smile.
Glory Days, the days I can't go back to,
straightening my chest, I start walking from here on out.
I will definitely see a new rainbow somewhere, thinking of you.
Thinking of the day I can meet you again.

Lyrics(Japanese):

知らず知らず 遠くまで
来てしまったよ 旅立った日から
めぐり逢えた 数知れぬ人々の顔
消えない景色

何ひとつ欠けても 駄目なんだよ

今きみと ともにいる この場所が好き
生きてれば 会えるだろう いつかまたここで

今日一日を精いっぱい やり遂げるなら
悔いはないだろう
今日の自分を 思い出す時
きれいな涙 流せるように

うまくいかなくても やめない

太陽の下でも 凍える雨でも 強くかたくなった絆
愛すべきは仲間 たとえ去っていっても(忘れない)

Lyrics(English):

Without knowing it,
I've gone far away since the day I left.
I came across the faces of a lot of people
and never-fading sights...

Even if a single part is missing, it's impossible.

I like the place where I'm together with you.
If we're alive, we can meet here again someday.
Here again someday.

If you finish today with all your strength,
you won't have any regrets.
So that tears can flow beautifully,
when you think about yourself.

Even if everything is going wrong, I'm not gonna give up.

I like the place where I'm together with you.
I want to hug you as much as I want, here again someday.

Even below the sun and in freezing rain, our bonds are getting stronger.
I should love my friends even if they're gone. (I won't forget)

continuing my path with never-fading passion.
Getting hurt, being totally tired, experiencing love (I've finally arrived)
I like the place where I'm together with you.
If we're alive, we can meet here again someday.

Here again someday.
