(Rough English translation of Japanese lyrics) Who made you, a strong woman who usually never shows tears, so sad? You'd better stop hanging on to a love that's over and start a new one from scratch If you have the desire to be happy, finding a new tomorrow is easier than you think. You've lost a little weight from sadness, but go out on the town looking for a new outfit that fits your body, and you'll see, everyone will look back at you. You'll get many chances to find a new love. I hope you will soon realize that he is not the only man for you I'm sure that your little mistake in love will turn into a memory someday in time. You've been through it and you're one step closer to adulthood. Life is not as bad as you think it is, So cheer up and let me see that smile of yours again. La La La La・・・・・・
