January – CORE OF SOUL – “Flying People”

溺れながら目覚めるよ
Maybe my world’s always upside down
Maybe my soul’s already down
But I’m ready to fight you

February – CORE OF SOUL – “Purple Sky”

あなたの胸で泣きたいよ
他に帰る場所なんてどこにもない
月に寄り添う一番星のように
あなたの傍にいたいだけ

March – Clay Aiken – “Solitaire”

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire

April – Sarah McLachlan – “Fallen”

Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up, better I should know

May – Maaya Sakamoto – “Park Amsterdam”

Didn’t try to put me in a cage of your convenience
Like some others have
Instead you took me to your favorite garden in Manhattan
And we had a laugh

June – CORE OF SOUL – “The Spirit of this Place”

We are graduating!
この先で待ちうけている　未知の風に
流されそうになっても　負けるもんか
だってa~���look at yourself
今僕らは　一番に輝いている
With the spirit of this place

July – Dashboard Confessional – “Vindicated”

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I’m right
Swear I knew it all along
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well

August – F.I.R. – “Lydia”

Lydia 幸福不在遠方
開一扇窗 許下願望

妳會感受愛 感受恨 感受原諒
生命總不會只充滿悲傷

September – Olivia – “できない” (“Dekinai”)

できない きれいじゃないから できない 太っているから
できない 頭痛いから できない ２０才過ぎてるから
できない 時間がないから できない うまくないから
できない 眠いから できない 今日は疲れたから

October – UTADA – “Exodus ’04”

Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert, snow
We’ll say good-bye to the world we know
This is our Exodus 04

November – Maki Yano – “夜曲” (“Yakyoku”)

泣いて泣いて泣いて どうして人は想いが溢れ出るの?
生きる者すべての涙の雨が やがて河になり 大地を今日も流れてる

December – m-flo – “let go”

Let go … let go … let go …
I know I gotta let go
Let go … let go … let go …
I know I gotta leave my past behind and let go
