約束。。 (Yakusoku..) – Promise..
from ® album.
——
Travelling to that place, to pick up the promises left there 10 years ago
If just one teardrop remains unevaporated
If the two of us are still there, it’ll be a “I’ll see you again”
[Kusuo]
Emerging from this tunnel, the sea stretches out…
Look, nothing has changed since then
Everytime I see you, you were having fun
And true, I loved watching your joyful profile
Since then, time has passed by like a lie
We always sat together, side-by-side in this car
Holding hands, shyly talking about the future, so nostalgic
If you are somehow still the person you were then…
Looking at the one-way ticket from that moment
[MICRO]
What was your expression as you wait for me? Are you well, wherever you are?
Like times past, my heart is still calling your name
I remember, even now, in my eyes…
You, holding back your tears, but as you smiled slightly, the tears gently spilled out
Saying goodbye, “if we still exist then (ten years later), I’ll see you again”
And then, now, travelling to that place, to pick up the promises left there 10 years ago
If just one teardrop remains unevaporated
If the two of us are still there, it’ll be a “I’ll see you again”
[KURO]
In the city that knew everything, we knew everything as well
We always talked about the future with so much pride
You were my No.1 fan, yes, you were truly precious
No matter what anxiety I felt, you soothed me with one “It’s alright”
Without doubt, on that day, the world turned us around
Looking into each other’s eyes, everything and everyone else changed into supporting actors
Well, I just felt that it could work, as I gazed across the ocean
You seemed a little sad, as you looked at me
[MICRO]
I thought about you all the time, searched for you even in my dreams
Like times past, my heart is still calling your name
I remember, even now, in my eyes…
You, holding back your tears, but as you smiled slightly, the tears gently spilled out
Saying goodbye, “if we still exist then (ten years later), I’ll see you again”
And then, now, travelling to that place, to pick up the promises left there 10 years ago
If just one teardrop remains unevaporated
If the two of us are still there, it’ll be a “I’ll see you again”
The nostalgic town, everything seems like how it was yesterday
Yes, unfaded, as if it had been waiting for our return
Let’s not hold any hopes, so the chance of disappointment will also be halved
But somewhere in our hearts, there is probably anticipation
Looking back on the long road, in this instance emotions overflow
I speed up, anxiety overridden by my wish to meet you, the precious you
I start to run, with a promise that nothing since that day had been forgotten
A promise that may mean nothing much to you
But one that is bigger and more beloved than anything else to me
Somehow, I’ve always believed that we will surely meet
And now, reflected in my eyes…
You, holding back your tears, but as you smiled slightly, the tears gently spilled out
The two of us are here now, so it’s a “I’ll see you again”
Our footsteps on the beach, washed away by the waves
