Futto omoidasu wasureta koro niI suddenly remember, just when I’d finally forgotten.
Hitori janaku kita dareka to tomo niI didn’t get here alone; I came with someone else by my side.
Arigatou Kamisama Friends & FamilyThank you, God, and thanks to my friends and family.
Bakkumiraa no naka utsuru tabijiMy journey reflects in the rearview mirror.
Hood omoidasu wasureta koro niI remember the ‘hood’ just when I’d finally forgotten.
Hitori janaku kita dareka to tomo niI didn’t get here alone; I came with someone else by my side.
Arigatou Kamisama Friends & FamilyThank you, God, and thanks to my friends and family.
Tamani wa iku yo ai niEvery once in a while, I’ll go to see you.
Wasure rarenai yoru hoshi no kazu ame no kazuThere are unforgettable nights, as many as the stars and the raindrops.
Mune no Radio yaman naiThe radio in my heart won’t stop playing.
Jikan ga tatsu to yoi omoide bakkaAs time passes, only the good memories remain.
Ano basho ni mou dare mo inai (Boku igai)No one’s at that place anymore (except for me).
Namiki hashi no kousatenAt the Namikibashi intersection,
Machiawase Kamakura no hou madewe met up and headed toward Kamakura.
Famima no muji T to Foosu 1 deWearing a Muji tee from ‘FamilyMart’ and Air Force 1s,
Ano hi to onaji kyoku kakeI play the same song from that day.
Dareka ga inakya dekinai koto bakka daThere’s so much I can’t do without someone’s help.
Sore iwanakya wakan nai no wa baka daYou’re a fool if you don’t realize that without being told.
Ikiru kagiri yowaki tami dakaraBecause as long as we live, we’re just fragile people.
Hontou no jibun wo shiru daiji na nakamaMy precious friends who know the real me,
Zutto soba ni iteplease stay by my side forever.
Arikitarina kono fureezuIt’s a cliché phrase, I know.
Shizumu yuuhi mata ne itsuka aouThe sun is setting; let’s meet again someday,
Kono kyoku no kashi no youjust like the lyrics of this song.
Futto omoidasu wasureta koro niI suddenly remember, just when I’d finally forgotten.

Arigatou Kamisama Friends & Family (Family)Thank you, God, and thanks to my friends and family (family).
Tamani wa iku yo ai niEvery once in a while, I’ll go to see you.
Futo omoidashi denwachou hiraki yomigaeruI suddenly remember, and as I open my contacts, it all comes back.
Shinda aitsu no bangou nokotta mamaThat dead friend’s number is still saved in my phone.
Atarimae janai aeru tomodachiBeing able to see my friends isn’t something I take for granted.
Ima no ore wo mite aitsu nante iu no kanaI wonder what he’d say if he saw me now.
Kane nakute mo waraeteta ano koroWe could still laugh back then, even when we had no money.
Wakeau hitotsu no kappu nuudoruWe’d share a single cup of noodles together.
Aitsu yori mada ore mashi na hou“I’m still doing better than he is.”
Sou itte jibun gomakashite moEven if I lie to myself like that,
Kuyashisa kantan ni wa nugu enaiI can’t easily wipe away this frustration.
Hashi no kazu mo heri aitsu mo inaiThe number of chopsticks has decreased, and he isn’t here.
Hitorikiri ja nan ni mo dekinaiI can’t do anything all by myself.
Nante iwasenai kuchi dake janaiI won’t let people say that; I’m not just all talk.
Akirametara owari No wayIf I give up, it’s over; there’s no way.
Jibun shidai daro jinsei wa touzenOf course, life is what you make of it.
Arifureta shiawase wa shiranaiI don’t know what ordinary happiness feels like,
Kedo waraeteru Everydaybut I’m laughing every single day.
