WARNING: Some of my English translations are very sketchy. My Japanese is far from fluent (in other words, bad), and I would appreciate any corrections. The romaji should be correct. Any English or Katakana words are written in CAPS LOCK in the romaji. Please don't post these translations anywhere else, because I go back to fix them from time to time and I don't want old versions floating around.

Jeepta - Shippitsu Misui (english translation)
This probably isn't 100% accurate, but I think there's at least enough to give you an idea of what it's about.
執筆未遂 / Writing Attempt
Lyrics: Taku Ishii
Music: choro, Taku Ishii
Tonight, before going to bed I’m going to write a letter
Tonight, I’ll write a letter addressed to you
I wonder what kind of words will reach you, and,
Search through the decaying words in my brain
I couldn’t hear the sound of the rain anymore, so I opened the window
I already can’t take it back
It’s a door I’ve lost the key to
A sky that’s forgotten how to clear up
Even if I question my past crimes, I just keep going around in circles*
Tonight, before going to bed I’m going to write a letter
Tonight, I’ll write a letter addressed to you
I wonder what kind of words will reach you, and,
Search through the decaying words in my brain
I remember bits and pieces of the words that you said when you were soaked by the rain**
What did you say? The rain always seems to erase the sound from that moment
I already can’t rewind
It’s a clock where the hands have stopped
A flower that’s lost its colour
Even if I question my past crimes,
I already can’t take it back
It’s a door I’ve lost the key to
A sky that’s forgotten how to clear up
Even if I question my future punishment, I just keep going around in circles
Tonight, before going to bed I’m going to write a letter
Tonight, I’ll write a letter addressed to you
I wonder what kind of words will reach you, and,
Search through the decaying words in my brain
One night, well, it won’t end
I’ll throw away the morning and afternoon
One night, well, I won’t change
I’m already throwing away my purpose as well
One night, well, it’s like a dream made from my uneasiness***
Reasons and meanings, anything and everything, I’ll throw it all away
I’ll throw that away too
I’ll throw this away too
I’m throwing everything away on the way to my next journey
Notes:
*,**,*** = not sure about these lines, they’re probably at least a little wrong

Jeepta - Madoi (english translation)
まどい / Madoi*
Lyrics: Taku Ishii
Music: Hiroyuki Satou, Taku Ishii
My back is bathed in the setting sun, and I’m sweating a bit again
My shadow stretches out to try to reach it, and after that
Tonight, when the moon is shining white
Even the birds flying around
Rest their wings and return to their nests
Surrounded by this familiar scenery
I head back on the road home
If I turn the corner, little by little, I can smell the scent of a warm city
Suddenly, if I look up, the moon is dyed yellow
Today, what should I talk to you about?
Today, I had lots to smile about
Today, I wonder if you were able to keep laughing all the time
Ah, it’s going by quickly
A perfectly circular, gentle place exists
There’s no reason for it or anything
There’s nothing but here
A precious thing
A moment that is ours alone
A perfectly circular, gentle place exists
Even if it’s obvious
Even if it’s common
There’s no substitute for it
A special, special night that’s just for us
I reflect on this tranquility quietly
And now, I close my eyes
This cyclical** life, I call “happiness”
Notes:
*I don't know how to translate the title. I thought of "madoi" as "bewilderment, confusion" etc., but apparently there is a "madoi" that means "happy circle", which seems to fit with the images, but I'm not sure what that actually means.
**could also be "repetitive"
まどい / Madoi
Ochite-iku yuuhi sei ni abite
Mata sukoshi ase o kaku
Nobita kage no sono saki de koyoi no tsuki wa shiroku hikaru
Tobi-mawatte ita tori-tachi mo
Hane o yasume su ni modoru
Konna minareta fuukei no naka boku wa ieji o yuku
Kado o magareba sukoshi-zutsu atatakai machi no nioi

Jeepta - When You Wish Upon a Wind -Unedited Version- (english translation)
The tenses might be a bit wonky, but I think this one makes sense.
When You Wish Upon a Wind –Unedited Version-
Music and Lyrics: Taku Ishii
Silent, no matter what
Silent, I have it
Lost in the sound of the waves at night
Alone again
I let out a single sigh
The damp wind sticks to my skin
We’re separated again
So my feelings that seem ready to overflow don’t spill out,
I clutch them tightly, tightly
Standing here, I remember my love*
While I was chasing after a shadow that was growing distant
“I hope it reaches you” I wished softly on the passing wind
The orange of twilight colours the blurred world
And on the other side of the world, it’s disappearing
The damp wind as well, passes through the waves of people
Travelling off to somewhere again
So my feelings that seem ready to overflow don’t spill out,
I clutch them tightly, tightly
I know that I should hide this love
But even if I pretend not to see those footprints
I want to know where in the distance this passing wind is travelling to
Standing here, I remember my love
While I chase after a shadow that is growing distant
I think that I want to entrust my wishes to this passing wind
Standing here, I remember my love
While I chase after a shadow that is growing distant
This wind that is passing by
Will deliver my overflowing feelings
It crosses over the distance
And so, one of these days, surely,
You'll meet this wind
Notes:

Jeepta - Risoukyou (english translation)
The verses of this are definitely at least a little wrong. Especially that first part. I think the chorus turned out okay, but this is more of a rough idea of what it's about than anything.
理想郷 / Utopia
Music and Lyrics: Taku Ishii
We fuss over things so there’s no risk and no obstacles*
For a modest person**
Even if it’s not “normal”, we make people believe that things are normal***
For a reliable person****
Even if you’re knocked down a thousand or ten thousand times,
You’ll stand up a thousand or ten thousand times as well
The overflowing tears pass through the night,
And when morning comes, they turn into strength, which will turn into your wings
Should you keep flapping them?
Even if you’re getting tired,
It seems like you’ll reach it
It seems like you’ll be able to grasp it,
You’re heading towards that faraway, seemingly disappearing utopia
Without paying attention to the status you’ve built up, you avoid becoming a slave to it*****
For a resolute person
You throw your fame to the wind and face them, fair and square
For a beautiful person
Even if you’re knocked down a thousand or ten thousand times,
You’ll come back with a thousand or ten thousand times the power
During the night, the overflowing tears become stars, they become gentle, and they’re going to turn into rays of sunlight
Should you keep shining?
Even if you burn out,
It seems like you’ll get there,
It seems like you’ll be able to grasp it,
That faraway utopia is shining
I know about meeting people
Human love,
And human pain and weakness as well
While you’re not paying attention, look!
We’ve crossed over the secret boundary line
It’s suddenly so clear
If you want to grab hold of the future floating on the other side of the sky,
Strain your eyes, so you don’t miss it
The overflowing tears pass through the night,
And when morning comes, they turn into strength, which will turn into your wings
Should you keep flapping them?
Even if you’re getting tired,
It seems like you’ll reach it
It seems like you’ll be able to grasp it,
You’re heading towards that faraway, seemingly disappearing utopia
Heading to that still faraway utopia
Notes:
*,**,***,****,***** I’m really not sure about any of these lines at all.

Jeepta - Nisshin Geppo (english translation)
My wording is a little awkward in this translation, but these are really nice lyrics. Very uplifting.
日進月歩 / Steady Progress
Music and Lyrics: Taku Ishii
The beginning is always decided
A game of whack-a-mole where you always hit too late
When you’re doing nothing but chasing after something
It feels like you’ve entered a labyrinth
I got strangely worked up
What am I searching for?
What do I know?
We repeat a pattern of ups and downs,
It’s not smooth sailing
We explore fearlessly with trial and error, and improve ourselves
It’s only a small, small step
But it has an enormous, enormous meaning
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We’re always continuing to move forward
At some point, I lost sight of which way was forward, and my legs stopped moving
Because the route to the place that I need to aim for is one where I’m free to choose,
Should I start blazing my own trail?
Every day, every night, we’re advancing
The future where you pass through your goals is all yours
We’re rushing forward with all our might
Running wildly every which way
Groping around in the dark over and over again, trying to grab hold of the light
It’s only a few thin, thin rays of light,
But they become a wide, wide road
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We’re always continuing to move forward
We repeat a pattern of ups and downs,
It’s not smooth sailing
We explore fearlessly with trial and error, and improve ourselves
It’s only a small, small step
But it has an enormous, enormous meaning
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We can only keep moving forward
日進月歩 / Nisshin Geppo
Hajimari wa itsumo kimatte
Gotegote no MOGURA-tataki

Jeepta - Harubaru (english translation)
The English translation I did is a little sketchy, but this is such a sweet song.
春々 / From Far Away*
Lyrics: Taku Ishii
Music: choro
I set out on a journey this morning
Going back to that dark city brought back vivid memories
Hey, do you remember?
The song that was playing on the night when I met you
I’m humming it as I go
Say hello
When I meet you again
Say hello
So I can smile and say it like nothing’s changed
My hair is already clinging to my shoulder
I wonder if you hate me
The spring breeze smells like you
I say I miss you, but only a little, so I stop a few times, but**
Say hello
Because I’ve started walking again
Say hello
My heart swells, and I’ll keep going until I can meet you***
Say hello
Like always
Say hello
We’ve decided
Say hello
When I meet you again
Say hello
So I can smile and say it like nothing’s changed
Notes:
*I’m not sure how to read this kanji. I thought "shunshun" might fit at first, but then I searched again and saw "harubaru" ("from afar", "over a great distance", "all the way") and I think it makes more sense. I wonder if it is a made-up kanji combination? It doesn't come up in any dictionaries, and no one seems to use it the way Taku does.
**, ***Not too sure about these either
春々 / Harubaru*
