自転車レース (Jitensha reesu) – Bicycle race
——
Polishing our rusted bicycles
We rode along the coast
That continued on with no end
We were so straightforward then
The goal was the convenience store parking lot 5km away
Faraway summer, still so vibrant now
Holding back our tears, we became adults
The wind’s fragrance and the sea’s color have not changed
Riding on our dreams along the path we drew out that day
I’ll live on together with you
Days with sudden downpours, as the typhoons approached
Our hearts always remained sunny
We rode with all our mights
The two of us who hated losing
Faraway summer, we cried as we embraced
No matter how far apart we are
Just remembering the other makes us strong
Wanting to see you, I pedalled
Won’t lose out to myself
As I hoped for tomorrow
We can’t see the goal yet
But we’ll surely grasp it
Faraway summer, let’s ride on again together
Holding back our tears, we became adults
The wind’s fragrance and the sea’s color have not changed
Riding on our dreams along the path we drew out that day
I’ll live on
Always beside you
My best friend

Sabita jitensha wo migaki
Dokomademo tsuzuiteiru
Kaigan doori wo hashiru
Bokura wa massugu datta ne
Gooru wa gokiro saki no konbini no chuushajou
Tooi natsu ima mo azayaka sugite
Namida korae nagara otona ni natteku
Kaze no nioi umi no iro mo kawaranai
Yume wo nosete hashiru ano hi egaita michi wo
Boku wa ikite yuku kimi to tomo ni
Totsuzen no ame no hi mo taifuu ga chikazuitemo
Bokura no kokoro wa itsumo hare watatteita ne
Zenryoku de hashitteta
Makezu girai no futari
Tooi natsu naki nagara daki atta
Donna tooku hanaretemo
Omoi dasu dake de tsuyoku nareru
Kimi ni aitakute koida
Boku wa boku ni makenai
Asu ni negai komete
Gooru wa mada mienai
Dakedo tsukameru hazu sa
Tooi natsu mata isshoni hashirou
Namida korae nagara otona ni natteku
Kaze no nioi umi no iro mo kawaranai
Yume wo nosete hashiru ano hi egaita michi wo
Boku wa ikite yuku
Itsumo soba ni iru
Besuto furendo

KANJI
錆びた自転車を磨き
どこまでも続いている
海岸通りを走る
僕らは真っ直ぐだったね
ゴールは5km先のコンビニの駐車場
遠い夏 今も鮮やか過ぎて
涙堪えながら 大人になってく
風の匂い海の色も変わらない
夢を乗せて走る あの日描いた道を
僕は生きてゆく 君とともに
突然の雨の日も台風が近づいても
僕らの心はいつも晴れわたっていたね
全力で走ってた
負けず嫌いのふたり
遠い夏 泣きながら抱き合った
どんな遠く離れても
思い出すだけで強くなれる
君に会いたくて漕いだ
僕は僕に負けない
明日に願い込めて
ゴールはまだ見えない
だけど掴めるはずさ
遠い夏 また一緒に走ろう
涙堪えながら 大人になってく
風の匂い海の色も変わらない
夢を乗せて走る あの日描いた道を
僕は生きてゆく
いつもそばにいる
ベストフレンド
