Akane [Kanji+Romaji+Translation]
The title means "Madder" which is a common plant-based red dye.
The temporary title of this song was "Koharu" (late autumn). I think the both the temporary title and the final title really suits the lyrics, that has a strong red-coloured atmosphere and image of sitting inside while looking at the reddish sunset outside.
This song along with "Horou Kamome wa Doko Made mo", "Iroha" and "8823" was mixed in America, but the sound source was remixed when the band returned to Japan. The sound source that was mixed in America was recorded using an analog board.

悲しい日には 新しい歌 ひとつ
遠く 歩き出そうか
晴れの予報も ハズれたけど
朱くかすむ 夕陽を待とうか
ゴミに見えても 捨てられずに
あふれる涙を ふきながら
悲しい日には 嘘つき歌 ひとつ
遠く 歩き出そうか
身体のどこかで 彼女を想う
また会おうと言った 道の上
悲しい日には 新しい歌 ひとつ
遠く 歩き出そうか
朱くかすむ 夕陽を待とうか
[Romaji]
kanashii hi ni wa atarashii uta hitotsu

hare no yohou mo HAZUreta kedo
akaku kasumu yuuhi o matou ka
GOMI ni mietemo suterarezuni
afureru namida o fukinagara
kanashii hi ni wa usotsuki uta hitotsu
tooku arukidasou ka
karada no dokoka de kanojo o omou
mata aou to itta michi no ue
kanashii hi ni wa atarashii uta hitotsu
tooku arukidasou ka
akaku kasumu yuuhi o matou ka
[Translation]
Madder.
There's a single new song during a sad day
Should I walk away from it?
Though the forecast said it would be sunny
But outside there's a hazy redness
Should I let myself be covered by the sunset?
Though it may look like trash, don't throw it away
Wipe away your river of tears
There's a single new song during a sad day
Should I walk away from it?
Thinking about where her body is
As I go along the road that leads us back to each other
There's a single new song during a sad day
Should I walk away from it?
But outside there's a hazy redness
Should I let myself be covered by the sunset?
