Chasin' After You

Chasin' After You was the Three Lights' image song in the Sailor Moon musicals, which the idol trio used in a similar fashion to "Nagareboshi He" in the anime. Unlike "Nagareboshi He," "Chasin' After You" is energetic and almost angry-sounding, with electric guitar and saxophone solos.

Lyrics

Japanese

Ｃｈａｓｉｎ' ａｆｔｅｒ ｙｏｕ　追い求めて
あのフレイグランス　あなたを
だれも奪えやしないさ
香しき運命を

メモリーは 微粒子さ
Ｄｅｅｐｌｙ ｉｎ ｍｙ ｈｅａｒｔ 染みついたまま
絶え間なく かきたてる
この恋心　Ｃｒａｚｙ ｍｅ

夜空をすべる流星の
最期のきらめきにかけ
あなたにたどりつけること
ひたすら　誓うよ
Ｓｈｏｕｔｉｎ' ｆｏｒ ｍｙ ｌｏｖｅ
Ｓｈｏｕｔｉｎ' ｆｏｒ ｙｏｕｒ ｌｏｖｅ

Ｃｈａｓｉｎ' ａｆｔｅｒ ｙｏｕ　無限越えて
あのフレイグランス　さがしに
どこにひそんでも　香りは
かくしきれないさ

この腕に抱きしめる
Ｈｏｌｄ ｙｏｕ ｉｎ ｍｙ ａｒｍｓ ただそのことを
描きつつ　願いつつ
見上げるよ Ｓｔａｒｒｙ ｎｉｇｈｔ

あなたを ぼくの呼びかけに
Ｃａｎ'ｔ ｙｏｕ ａｎｓｗｅｒ 手段を持たない
そのまま待っていて欲しい
必ず　逢えるよ
Ｓｈｏｕｔｉｎ' ｆｏｒ ｍｙ ｌｏｖｅ
Ｓｈｏｕｔｉｎ' ｆｏｒ ｙｏｕｒ ｌｏｖｅ

Chasin' after you oimotomete
Ano fureiguransu anata wo
Dare mo ubae yashinai sa
Kaguwa shiki hoshi wo

Memorii wa biryuushi sa
Deeply in my heart shimi tsuita mama
Taema naku kakitateru
Kono kokoro Crazy me

Yozora wo suberu ryuusei no
Imawa no kirameki ni kake
Anata ni tadori tsukeru koto
Hitasura chikau yo
Shoutin' for my love
Shoutin' for your love

Chasin' after you mugen koete
Ano fureiguransu sagashi ni
Doko ni hisonde mo kaori wa
Kakushi kirenai sa

Kono ude ni dakishimeru
Hold you in my arms tada sono koto wo
Egaki tsutsu negai tsutsu
Miageru yo Starry night

Anata wa boku no yobikake ni
Can't you answer sube wo motanai
Sono mama matte ite hoshii
Kanarazu aeru yo
Shoutin' for my love
Shoutin' for your love
