Please find an English translation of 'Don’t Look Back ~Modorenai Hibi' (Don't Look Back ~戻れない日々) from me. This is a song from Koichi's musical Endless SHOCK. I've also included the Japanese original and a romanization.

Japanese

汚れた両手で　光り探すなら
振り返らずに歩く　輝きを　掴むまでは

過ちとは罪　愚かさ気付かずに
(No need to be worried so much So, don’t be so sad that I’m gone)
その心の痛みは　拭いきれない
(No need to be crying for me So, don’t be so mad to yourself)
汚れた両手で　光り探すなら
(Nothing to be worried about Everything is going to be fine)
(これが真実なのか)
振り返らずに歩く　(失われた命　戻れるなら)
(Nothing can change us so easy)
We’ll be together in my heart forever

Romaji

Yogoreta ryoute de　hikari sagasu nara
Furikaerazu ni aruku　kagayaki wo　tsukamu made wa

Ayamachi to wa tsumi　orokasa kizukazu ni
(No need to be worried so much So, don’t be so sad that I’m gone)
Sono kokoro no itami wa　nuguikirenai
(No need to be crying for me So, don’t be so mad to yourself)
Yogoreta ryoute de　hikari sagasu nara
(Nothing to be worried about Everything is going to be fine)
(Kore ga shinjitsu na no ka)
Furikaerazu ni aruku　(ushinawareta inochi　modoreru nara)
(Nothing can change us so easy)
We’ll be together in my heart forever

English

If you search for the light with tainted hands
Walk without looking back until you capture it

Mistakes are a sin, not realizing my foolishness
(No need to be worried so much So, don’t be so sad that I’m gone)
I can’t wipe away that heartache
(No need to be crying for me So, don’t be so angry with yourself)
If you search for the light with tainted hands
(Nothing to be worried about Everything is going to be fine)
(Is this really the truth?)
Walk without looking back (If only life lost could return)
(Nothing can change us so easily)
We’ll be together in my heart forever

Translation notes:

1. 罪 (tsumi) in Japanese is often translated as 'sin', however it's not necessarily the heavily religiously loaded sense of 'sin' as we have in English. Tsumi can also mean 'crime', 'indiscretion' or simply not being thoughtful. I have translated it here as 'sin', but just wanted to mention that.
   
2. I don't usually like to change the English in translations, but in this case, I did change two places only in the English translation:

                    i. So, don't be so mad to yourself
                       I changed to: 'So, don't be so angry with yourself'

ii. Nothing can change us so easy
                      I changed to: 'Nothing can change us so easily'
