SHI-NE-MA (Ci-ne-ma)
"Maison Ikkoku" ending theme (1986)

mishiranu machi no touriame  ano hi no kimi wa
nureta HIIRU wo  kinishiteta
osanasa kakushita yokogao  itsuka kawashita
kotoba o  ima mo  omoidaseru
	A passing shower in an unfamiliar town.  On that day, you
	were troubled by your drenched heels.
	Childishness hidden in your face's profile.
	The words we exchanged one day, even now I remember.

* hajime kara SHINEMA  kanji-sasete
  kimi ga sasayaku  shizuka na RASUTO SHIIN
	From the beginning, cinema... moves me.
	You whisper to me... in the quiet final scene.

kakaeta hadaka no tsuma saki  kyou wa chiisaku
yurashite  bon'yari  miteta kedo
sukoshi dake kanashii hito [kanji: onna] o  enjitai nara
makuai ni  ikaga?  boku no Love song for you
	Holding your bare toes in your hands,
	although today you idly watch them wiggling a little.
	If you want to play the part of one who's just a little unhappy,
	how about in the intermission, my love song for you?

* Repeat

tasogare matsu dake no  gogo no hamabe de futari
wasure-kaketa  SUTEPPU de
tadotta mijikai kioku ni  kasanaru SUTOORII
makugire  shirasete  nami ga sarau yo
	The two of us just waiting for the twilight
	on an afternoon at the beach,
	dancing to almost-forgotten steps,
	brief remembrances which the story overlaps.
	Making the end [lit. fall of the curtain] known,
	the waves wash it away.

* Repeat

saigo made SHINEMA  mi o makaseta
tsukuriwarai no  KATTO de  sayonara
	Until the conclusion, cinema...  I submit myself to you.
	With a cut at a forced laugh [or feigned smile], goodbye.

* Repeat
hajime kara SHINEMA... SHINEMA... SHINEMA...
	From the beginning, cinema... cinema... cinema...

シ・ネ・マ ● ピカソ
「めぞん一刻」エンディング・テーマ (1986)

見知らぬ街の通り雨　あの日の君は
濡れたヒールを　気にしてた
幼さかくした横顔　いつか交わした
言葉を　今も　思い出せる

※はじめからシネマ　感じさせて
　君が囁く　静かなラストシーン

抱えた裸のつま先　今日は小さく
揺らして　ぼんやり　見てたけど
少しだけ悲しい女〈ひと〉を　演じたいなら
幕合に　いかが？　僕の love song for you

※くりかえし

黄昏待つだけの　午後の浜辺で二人
忘れかけた　ステップで
たどった短い記憶に　重なるストーリー
幕切れ　知らせて　波がさらうよ

※くりかえし

最後までシネマ　身をまかせた
つくり笑いの　カットで　さよなら

※くりかえし
