Japanese

南風　が　　君を　誘　う
甘い　香り　　君が　笑　う
踊 り ま し ょ う　　波打ち　際
時を　止めて　　みたいけど..

わた し　の　　夢は　途中で
途切れ　途切れ　　君の　夢見た

鼻の先　が　　ツンでなるんだ　ああ
忘れてゆ　く　　何もか　も

.. けれ　ど　も　　夢の　途中で
千切れ　千切れ　　君の　夢見た

無限の　LOOP　　波がきらめく
今宵　月　も　　 濡れてい　る
幽玄 SO BEAUTY　　愛とは　歓　び
今宵　君　も　 　濡れてい　る

無限の LOOP..

あな　た　の 　　夢で　眠　る
途切れ　途切れ　　君の　夢見た

無限の　LOOP　　波がきらめく
今宵　月　も　　濡れてい　る
幽玄 SO BEAUTY　　愛とは哀しみ
今宵　君　も　　 濡れてい　る

無限の LOOP..

無限の LOOP..

無限　I LOVE YOU

By: Yoshiyuki

The southerly wind　calls to you
A sweet fragrance　You laugh
Let-us-dance　by the water’s edge
Though I’d like to try stopping time..

Halfway through,　my dream
Pauses　and breaks　　And I see your dream

The tip of my nose　　It stings¹　Ah
I’m forgetting　　Everything

.. But　　halfway through, my dream
Shreds into tatters　　And I see your dream

An endless LOOP　The waves are shimmering
Tonight, the moon　is also drenched
Mythic, SO BEAUTY　Love is joy
Tonight, you　are also drenched

An endless LOOP..

Sleeping　in your dream
Pause　and break　　I see your dream

An endless LOOP　The waves are shimmering
Tonight, the moon　is also drenched
Mythic, SO BEAUTY　Love is sorrow
Tonight, you　are also drenched

An endless LOOP..

An endless LOOP..

To infinity　I LOVE YOU

Notes:

¹ The phrase “ツンでなる (tsun de naru)” used in relation to one’s nose tends to imply a particular irritation to the nose. Most commonly, the way your nose burns if you eat too much wasabi in one go.

From Toll’s interview in FT107, the filming of this MV was done during the hotel’s operating hours. The elevator scene was particularly funny to him because that was done during the checkout time period and they didn’t book out the place for their exclusive use; everyone was working anyway. So they kept going up and down while standing in there and whenever the elevator went down, the doors would open to a surprised cleaning staff member and they kept having to apologise for the inconvenience over and over again.

From Sakurai’s interview in FT107, the storyline he has in mind for this song was described as something akin to being in a comatose state, in the type of dream where you’re unable to tell whether or not you have woken up.
On the day they filmed the MV, he was asked to arrive first and make-up prep started at 7am. Filming started with the scene with him in the bed first but lying on it but he felt like he was really going to fall asleep on it. The interviewer said the MV was pretty interesting, to which Sakurai said, “But for an uninteresting song (lol).”

From Imai’s interview in FT107, the “remix” version of it (Mugen LOOP -Leap-) was less a remix and more of an enhancement of the song to make it even more up-tempo.
[Yokoyama actually described this request as something between a remix and an arrangement.]
On the topic of comments that this song sounds like city pop, he was only half-joking when he composed the melody and said it sounded like that, but even he didn’t expect that city pop was indeed what we got in the end.
For the filming of the MV, he was in charge of opening and closing the elevator doors. The director told him, “Please close the doors just as Sakurai-san is about to enter.” He failed at the first try. They kept re-taking the scene but he kept failing to get the timing right because he would press the button right as they cue that the cameras are rolling, but the door takes a while to respond after he presses the button so it would close too late. He kept a straight face for the camera but his right hand, which was pressing the button, was pretty tense.
