下町 (Shitamachi) – *area near Tokyo Bay*

from Tabitabi album.

——

The city I was born in is extremely warm
The neighbors are always cheerful
The stray cats wag their tails as they approach
As I turn the corner, I see the four o’clock flower blooming

Our future is
Surely, surely beautiful
Our future will
Get more and more lonely, but
This tiny world
Is always, always a miracle

Dad’s back was always so broad
Mum’s warmth is still within my hands
Big sis’ smile comes in tandem with the sunlight
Big bro’s strength is still as admirable today

That’s how we’ve been
So full of happiness now
That’s how we’ve been
Now, I’m walking
Then, now, I’ve
Met with the kind you

That day when I looked up at the sky and cried
Yes, someone called out to me
In a kind voice
Such an act is natural
In this city, and I
Smile like this again today

Our future is
Surely, surely beautiful
Our future will
Get more and more lonely, but
This tiny world
Always, always, has been
Always, always, will be
Always, always a miracle

I can’t forget you…
You were my best boyfriend…..forever

You were my best boyfriend
Thinking about you and
Now you got me sighing, lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
(I) Just wanna hear your voice
What we had was magic
Blowing a kiss to you

Even for interrupted feelings, if both of us put in the effort
Then it shouldn’t be overflowing with pure sadness
That preciousness fostered through days
Don’t forget it, treasure it
From now on, we’ll be progressing to a bright future, right?
So just smile

You were my best boyfriend
If we tie the loose ends
Can we still be friends? lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
Love turns into heart ache
Beautiful but tragic
Sorry…

You were my best boyfriend
Thinking about you and
Now you got me sighing, lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
(I) Just wanna hear your voice
What we had was magic
Blowing a kiss to you

Out of all the people I’ve loved thus far
The one whom I cultivated the best memories with is You
Destroyed relations can’t be reclaimed, but
As long as we’re still friends, I’m ok
Even in a different form, we should be able to build something
Is that true? Then Stay with me

You were my best boyfriend
If we tie the loose ends
Can we still be friends? lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
Love turns into heart ache
Beautiful but tragic
Sorry…

You were my best boyfriend
Thinking about you and
Now you got me sighing, lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
(I) Just wanna hear your voice
What we had was magic
Blowing a kiss to you

Wooo… No, I can’t live like this
Wooo… Time passed
Wooo… You can see right through me
I can’t be without you…really

You were my best boyfriend
Blowing a kiss to you

You were my best boyfriend
If we tie the loose ends
Can we still be friends? lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
Love turns into heart ache
Beautiful but tragic

You were my best boyfriend
If we tie the loose ends
Can we still be friends? lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
Love turns into heart ache
Beautiful but tragic
Sorry…

You were my best boyfriend
Thinking about you and
Now you got me sighing, lonely days
Pieces shatter, heart break
(I) Just wanna hear your voice
What we had was magic
Blowing a kiss to you

Playing with my phone, I acted indifferent
As I walked towards you, waiting at the station
I’ve noticed you long before this, but
I try not to reveal my dancing heart

Those familiar sneakers entered my downcast field of view
Coming closer until you were right before my eyes

I slowly looked up, and what I saw was
A smiling you, and anticipated Destiny
My heart throbbed ceaselessly, overflowing with Fantastic
“Where are we going?” you ask
And my heart, look, has flown into the sky

On this day of our second meet-up
For some reason, we
Ended up waiting at different locations

I dashed out at ferocious speed
Hurrying to you
After I climb the slope, I’ll meet with you soon

“I love you”

To be satisfied with just that, how fitting
We may miss each other again in the future, but surely
If where we are heading to has happiness
I will accept even sorrow
Because my heart will become even stronger

The day after tomorrow may be a much-awaited sunny day
Let’s get ready to go to your favorite place
Sometimes
It’s ok to get lost and wander around
In short, as long as I’m with you
This heart will embrace everything now

everything is gonna be alright

旅旅 (Tabitabi) – Journey again

from Tabitabi album.

——

If just a little of me
Is left with you, just a little
A small bit

Someday, when you feel depressed
When you don’t know what to do
And is overcome with anxiety
Try your best
To remember me
So that I can give you strength

Can it be?
That what I can do
Is just as little as that
It’s embarrassing, but

In this world where only
The unexpected happens, what I hope for
Is that, despite betrayal, surely
Even through the ambiguous sky
There are days when we are saved

After the almost intolerable things lie
A miracle almost too small to be seen
I wish to believe that

Let the wind blow now
As I know warmth, I become
Strong again

Within the limited changing seasons
In order not to lose to you, today too
I continue to sing

このは (Konoha) – Leaf

from Tabitabi album.

——

Twirling and twirling
This leaf is going home
We’ll meet again another time

Too much joy to imagine
Your warmth
Too many tears to wipe away
Were all I loved

Having met you
Was really great
Being alive is wonderful

There is no life without regret
Being able to regret is important

Too much kindness to embrace
Your thundering heart
Too much sorrow to comprehend
I’ll love it all

Days spent with you
Days made up
Being able to live through them is wonderful

Even if things just repeat
It’s not the same
Again and again and yet again
They are still beloved

Turning and turning
I dry up and decay, but
I’ll come back to you again

Someday
Like a blooming flower with you

レインボー (Reinbou) – Rainbow

from Tabitabi album.

——

As always, this world is overflowing with various colors
This world is especially beautiful, New Day’s
With irregular parts left “as they are”, You Say Yes
Even so, this world is unexpectedly kind

Floating unfinished in the sky, a revived rainbow

It can’t help being unstable, like a kaleidoscope

Haphazardly before my eyes, it takes on colors as it wills, Blue Green &Red mixing together

With unimaginable colors floating, full of vivid COLOR

An untouched world coated by various new colors
It’s a never-before-seen world, still beautiful, New LIFE
With unstoppable crazy impulse, “someone help me!” SOS!
In the end, this world is kind to everyone

Floating unfinished in the sky, a revived rainbow

Just unstable, therefore with total freedom

Haphazardly before my eyes, it takes on colors as it wills, Blue Green &Red mixing together

With unimaginable colors floating, full of vivid COLOR

Before a brand new tomorrow, it takes on colors as it wills, Blue Green &Red mixing together

A scenery just as I imagined floats now, done up in vivid COLOR

さよなら (Sayonara) – Goodbye

from Tabitabi album.

——

I’ll stay beside you tonight again, until you fall asleep
The warm milk is left as you fall into dreams

Watching your smiling sleeping face
I leave you a memo with the word “sorry”
A precious phrase which I wanted to say…
Because I love you

Goodbye, I’ll never forget
Even if you’re far apart from me
Goodbye, I’ll never forget
If all my secrets were hidden away
I said
In the midst of the shifting seasons

That night, before you fell asleep on the sofa
I couldn’t speak, as they filled and overflowed

Those tears flowing down your cheeks
Scared me, so I escaped into dreams
Sorry from my side
Because I loved you

Goodbye, I’ll never forget
Even if you’re far apart from me
Goodbye, I’ll never forget
If all my secrets were hidden away
I said
In the midst of the shifting seasons

You guided me through rain and shine
I hope you noticed
I pray we meet again ’cause I won’t feel so lonely
I gave my life to you
You made my dreams come true
A whole new world has just begun

Goodbye, I’ll never forget
Even if you’re far apart from me
Goodbye, I’ll never forget
If all my secrets were hidden away
I said
In the midst of the shifting seasons

Goodbye, I’ll never forget

Don’t you ever change
Don’t you ever change

I’ll see you again

The sea dyes scarlet
From the too dazzling sun

It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Till the very end
It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Neverending

I’m still in the midst of a dream
It exists at the end of an as-yet-unseen world

A single shooting star
Countless wishes
Can’t wait till night falls

Will a day come
When I can smile from the bottom of my heart?
When it arrives, I will desperately hold back
The tears we shed together

Swaying buildings and the runway
Connects to the night sky
A golden runway
Let’s journey to the sky

The sea dyes scarlet
From the too dazzling sun

It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Till the very end
It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Neverending

I’m still in the midst of a dream
It exists at the end of an as-yet-unseen world

Here’s not the right STOP
There’s not the right STOP
As the future wanders somewhere

The sun known as tomorrow
Has a mild lingering affection for yesterday
I shoulder my bulging luggage in anticipation
And walk out again today

Holding tightly onto
My one-way ticket
A golden runway
Let’s journey to the sky

The sea dyes scarlet
From the too dazzling sun

It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Till the very end
It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Neverending

I’m still in the midst of a dream
It exists at the end of an as-yet-unseen world

To far away (to far away)
So far away
For the meaning of life

The sea dyes scarlet
From the too dazzling sun

It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Till the night sky
It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
I’ll soar

Finally, I see the end of the as-yet-unseen world
Then, on the day when I shed tears with a smile

The sea dyes scarlet
From the too dazzling sun

It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Till the very end
It’s MY LIFE (MY LIFE)
Neverending

I’m still in the midst of a dream
It exists at the end of an as-yet-unseen world
