The vocalist sings about the ordinary days that, when tied together, create something warm and transparent. This imagery shows how small, everyday moments can build a lasting connection.
Tadayotte wa ukanderuDrifting and floating along,
Yurete toumei na kankeia swaying, transparent connection.
Kimi dake ni sosoideI’ll pour it all out just for you,
Wareta koppu ni ai wo mitashitefilling this broken cup with love.
Wareta koppu ni ai wo mitashiteFilling this broken cup with love.
Itsumo no you ni aruku Tokyo tominWalking like always, a ‘Tokyo resident’,
Hito wa dare demo chotto hitorieveryone’s always a little bit lonely.
Kimi to no Gap umeru soukou kyoriThe distance we’ve traveled closes the gap with you,
Ano toki to kurabetara soutou Busywe’re so much busier than we were back then.
Muda nai Life kudannaiA life with no waste, nothing trivial,
Bokutachi angai itsumo fuan dawe’re actually always a bit anxious.
Kedo WonderlandBut it’s a wonderland,
Kimi no mae ja dasakute mo iiit’s okay if I’m uncool in front of you.
Kore no teema wa LOVE demo iiIt’s fine if the theme of this is love.
Nichijou konashiteru dake no kankakuJust the feeling of getting through the daily grind,
Yoku mo waruku mo nagareru jikan ni haguhugging the time that flows, for better or worse.
Kawatta koto mo aru kedoSome things have changed,
Yuruganai koto mo takusan arubut there are plenty of things that’ll never waver.
Sore de, doushita no? kara hajimaru kaiwa“So, what’s up?”—the conversation starts there,
Futari no kao kawaranu ai wathe love that doesn’t change when we see each other’s faces.
Kimi ga genki nara nandemo iiAs long as you’re doing well, anything’s fine,
Ukeireru koto ga mata Gift nibeing able to accept it becomes another gift.
Ai wo sawareta naraIf I could actually touch love,
Donna katachi nan darou neI wonder what kind of shape it’d take.
Nanigenai hibi wo atsumeteIf I gathered all these ordinary days
Sotto tabaneta naraand gently tied them in a bundle,
Toumei de itatte atatakakuteit’d be transparent and yet so warm,
Kimi no asa wo naderu madeuntil it gently strokes your morning.
Afureteku you niLike it’s overflowing,
Kobosanai you niso I don’t spill a drop.
Afureteku you niLike it’s overflowing,
Kobosanai you niso I don’t spill a drop.
Tachimachi oto ga nari kakihajimeta hiThe day the sound suddenly rang out and I started writing,
Atama n naka no memo ni unazukinodding at the memos inside my head.
Katamatta kokoro no moodoThe mood of a heart that’s hardened
Dondon hodokeru hodo yurerusways enough to gradually unravel.
Souzou shiteta iroiroThe various things I’d imagined—
Ano koro to ima wa dou?how do then and now compare?
Mite kita sorezore no keshikiThe individual scenes we’ve both witnessed,
Ima kikasete yo yukkuritell me all about them now, take your time.
Nani kara hanasouWhere should I start?
Epiroogu kara hajimaru Favorite MovieA favorite movie that starts from the epilogue,
Shuyaku kidori no mobu in the place to bean extra acting like the lead in the place to be.
Kashi tobashita Kudanshita no keshiki niIn the scenery of ‘Kudanshita’ where I skipped the lyrics,
Yuzurenai mono ga atta mukashi wathere were things I couldn’t give up in the past.
Ima wa agetai mono wo fuyashitaNow I’ve increased the things I want to give you.
Kaita memo ga oto ni natta Day oneThe memo I wrote turned into sound on day one,
(Late night) todoku koro kimi no teiban(late night) it’ll be your favorite by the time it reaches you.
Matataki de susunde iku hibi woThe days that move forward in the blink of an eye,
Issho ni kiritoritain da kimi toI want to cut them out and keep them with you.
Mienai kamo ne kono katachiYou might not be able to see this shape,
Demo shintou shiteku watashitachibut it’s soaking into us.
Amari aru keikaku tte nani? kimi ga iu toki“What’s with all these plans?” when you ask that,
Koko ni aru to omotta (Living my life)I thought it was right here (living my life).
Riyuu wa nain da yo betsu niThere’s no particular reason,
Tsuzuru hibi no jojou (Thinking about you)just the lyricism of the passing days (thinking about you).
Kids ga fuyasu MoMA yori meigaBetter than a masterpiece in ‘MoMA’ that kids flock to,
Kasabatte mo suterarenai ne naI can’t throw it away even if it gets bulky, can I?
Machi wa nureterya Slip suru ConcreteThe town’s wet, concrete that makes you slip,
Yoru ga aketara tsuredasu kyou nionce the night breaks, I’ll take you out into today.
Ai wo sawareta naraIf I could actually touch love,
Donna katachi nan darou neI wonder what kind of shape it’d take.
Nanigenai hibi wo atsumeteIf I gathered all these ordinary days
Sotto tabaneta naraand gently tied them in a bundle,
Toumei de itatte atatakakuteit’d be transparent and yet so warm,
Kimi no asa wo naderu madeuntil it gently strokes your morning.
Tarinai kimi toWith the incomplete you,
Mitashitai hibi wothe days I want to fill.
Tarinai kimi toWith the incomplete you,
Mitashitai hibi wothe days I want to fill.
