<!--pagetitle:Suga Shikao - Manatsu no Yoru no Yume Review-->
Ah.. Suga Shikao. What a great voice. Manatsu no Yoru no Yume is a nice soft rock song. As is a common theme Suga Shikao sings of romantic emotional feelings which sway between those of a jealous lover in without a seconds hesitation. Classic. The next song is Himitsu Kessa ~annex~ feat. AMAZONS. This song is extremely much more up beat then the first with an almost insanely addictive rhythm. Suga sweeping this song up as well. Probably my favorite song on this CD. Finally, we have Mayonaka no Kamotsu Ressha, which sound very sweet and much like a love song would. Backed with guitar and piano. I can't find the lyrics in English yet so have no reference for that assumption. Great CD overall, tho you may find I'm partial to singles for this very reason. ;)

<strong>Manatsu no Yoru no Yume Lyrics by Suga Shikao
</strong>
boku wa kodoku de usotsuki
itsumo yume bakari miteru
kimi wa kidzuite’nai furi
dakedo soredemo dakishimeru n’ da
marude kyuuketsuki mitai ni kimi no yasashisa wo
suitsukushite shimau ki ga suru n’ da

itsuka naoranai kizuato mo
bokura yuruseru no kana
ano koro to kawaranai egao de…
mayonaka boku wa yume wo mite
hidoku unasarete me wo samashita
manatsu no yoru no kurai yume
mado no soto ni hateshinai yami
kagami no naka ni utsutta nikushimi to shitto

tooi sekai no dekigoto mitai ni
boku wa kodoku de usotsuki
itsumo yume bakari miteru

<p style="text-align: left;">Hey, do you have any friends in politics
Or anyone else influential like that? I want you to introduce me
"Will you form a secret society with me
To save this filthy world?"
I have a friend back home who's made lots of money through prostitution
I think I could probably get money from him somehow
"Will you form a great secret society with me
To repaint this dirty world?"
Wouldn't you like our days to be filled with love and dreams and hope?
You said you didn't want to hear any more sad news, didn't you?
You've got at least one person you can't forgive, haven't you?
"It's not that I don't, but...there's nothing that can be done now..."
"Do you know their name and address?
Let's start punishing those nearby first..."
I think we'll have our hideout in Shimokita for the time being
One of those fifteen-year-old buildings with no elevator would be perfect
"Hey, let's stand up now and destroy
This mistake-filled world"
Someday we'll be free and glorify the wonderful days
You said you didn't want to see anyone cry again, didn't you?
"Will you form a secret society with me
To save this filthy world?"
Wouldn't you like our days to be filled with love and dreams and hope?
You said you didn't want to hear any more sad news, didn't you?
Someday we'll be free and glorify the wonderful days
You said you didn't want to see anyone cry again, didn't you?</p>

<strong>Mayonaka no Kamotsu Ressha Lyrics</strong><strong> by Suga Shikao</strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Romaji</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mayonaka wo hashirinukemasu
Yami no naka wo tada yuku no desu
Futatsu no reeru wa doko e tsuzuku
Boku wa mayonaka no kamotsuressha
Dareka ni kizukarenai you ni
Akari mo tsukezu ni yuku no desu
Ashita no asa made hashiritsuzukete
Ittai donna machi ni tsukun darou?
Nee egao afureteru machi nara ii na kinou yori
Boku no umareta toko yori
Midori afureteru machi da to ii na kazoku no koe
Kouen de kaze ni yurete irun da
Nani wo hakonde iru no deshou?
Hontou wa boku mo shiranai
Tada hashiru dake dareka ga matteru
Zuibun to daiji na mono rashii
Machi wo nukete iku sono toki
Toire ni okita kodomo ni
Miraresou ni nattara iki wo koroshite
Kizukarenai you ni sayounara
Nee sora ni kanashimi no nai machi ga ii na tada hitotsu mo
Souzou shite kyou mo hashiru yo
Hoshi ni nikushimi no nai machi ga ii na doko kara ka
Yasashii uta ga nagarete hoshii</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I'm running through the night
Just going through the dark
Where do these two rails go?
I am a midnight freight train
I keep my lights off
So no one knows I'm here
I'll keep going til tomorrow dawns
Just what sort of town will I arrive in?
I hope the town is full of smiles, more than yesterday's was
I hope the town is greener
Than the one I was born in
And that the wind carries the voices of families through the park
What am I carrying?
The truth is, even I don't know
I just run, and someone's waiting for me
It seems to be something really important
When I go through a town
And am almost seen by a child
Who got up to go to the bathroom
I hold my breath so he doesn't notice me - goodbye
I hope the town hasn't a single sorrow in the sky
I imagine it today as I'm racing along
I hope the town has no hatred in its stars
And that a gentle song is playing somewhere</p>
