ARIGATTO Lyrics Translation (from “SUPERLIMINAL”)
The performer sings about their journey since 1994, mentioning how music has always brought them together. A standout line, ‘On the best days, everybody move your body, we partied hard,’ captures the joy of shared moments. The poet uses vivid references to cassettes and neighborhood vibes to ground the story in real memories.
