The Japanese Lyrics of "Tsuki to Hoshizora" from "Tonikaku Kawaii"

照れてドキドキできるのも　すねてそっぽを向けるのも　好きと言いあえるのもあの日　うっかり運命と出会えたから
Being able to feel shy and excited, Turning away and pouting, Being able to confess my feelings— It's all because I accidentally encountered destiny that day.

なにがあっても前むきで　たまに大胆だったりね　いろんな初めてばっかりで　今日も初恋みたい
No matter what happens, I'll face forward, Occasionally, I'm bold, With various first experiences, Today feels like a first love again.

ふたり手をつないで　歩く日々の中なんどでも　キミに恋してキミを愛して　もっと増えてく思い出　カワイイキミのしぐさに　思わず赤くなって見上げた　やさしく輝く月と星空
Holding hands as we walk through our daily lives, No matter how many times, I fall in love with you, I love you more, The memories continue to increase. In your cute gestures, I involuntarily blush, Looking up at the gently shining moon and starry sky.

あれが苦手でこれが好きで　そんな弱点もあったりね　どれも愛しく思えるのは　やっぱりキミが好きだから
Having weaknesses and preferences, Loving them all, Is because I love you after all.

あてもなくさまよってた　ながい夜が明けて　今日からは同じ道を　いっしょに歩くんだね
Having wandered aimlessly, The long night breaks, From today, we'll walk the same path together.

キミと抱き合うたびに　なにげない幸せをかさねて　めぐる季節をいくつも数え　ずっと全部分けあえる　かぎりある命でも　この愛の永遠を信じて　月の輝く星空に誓うよ
Every time I embrace you, Piling up simple happiness, Counting numerous changing seasons, We'll share everything, Even though life is limited, I believe in the eternity of this love, And I pledge it to the moonlit starry sky.

Holding hands and believing in each other every day, From now on, I'll fall in love with you, Love you more, In your cute gestures, I'll involuntarily embrace you, Looking up at the moon and starry sky, We'll always be close together.
