They are the originators of rock music in Japanese.

風をあつめて / Gathering the wind I was strolling along a narrow alley on the edge of town. Through the stained haze, I saw a streetcar crossing the water just as I was getting up. And I, too Gather the wind Gathering the wind I want to gather the wind I want to fly through the blue sky I want to fly through the blue sky... I was passing through a very nice morning dawn I saw a city with scarlet sails anchored Anchored in a city with scarlet sails And I, too Gathering the wind Tugging at the wind I want to gather the wind I want to fly through the blue sky Soaring through the blue sky... I was killing time in a coffee shop on a deserted morning. Through the cracked glass, I saw the scrape of a skyscraper on the pavement And I, too... Gather the wind Tugging at the wind I want to gather the wind I want to fly through the blue sky Soar through the blue sky...
夏なんです / It's summer On a white footpath in the countryside The dusty wind stops crouching flat on the ground they're playing marbles It's the sun that's shining brightly, shining brightly It's summer with a glittering, glittering, glittering sun The woods of the township are dark and green The silence that has descended hanging with someone in an old teahouse It's the sound of the cicadas of the ho-shi-tsukutsukku It's the summer of the ho-shi-tukkutsukku parasols whirling around I'm bored. Parasols going round and round I'm bored. I run across the cobblestone pavement, following the stitching of the sky summer is gone with the passing rain Fluffy clouds are here It's the summer of fluffy clouds Parasols go round and round, I'm bored. Parasols go round and round, I'm bored.
12月の雨の日 / Rainy day in December Rain-possessed people come and go in the streets that dazzle with the smell of water After the rain, the wind rises unexpectedly in the city I watch the waves of people flowing I am watching A dry heart sickened by the rain and the city fades in the frozen sky After the rain, the wind comes unexpectedly to the city I watch the waves of people flowing I'm watching
