The lyrics writer talks about a cityscape that calls out, asking to be seen and remembered. Hoon mentions a line, ‘Even if it’s just a cloud, even if it’s just a wave, it’s our little anecdote,’ highlighting the simplicity of shared moments. The lyrics focus on laughter and yearning, set against an infinite highway and starry skies.
Machinami ga katarikakeruThe cityscape calls out to me,
Ima sugu ni ai ni kitecome and see me right now.
Mada mita koto no nai keshiki woScenery I have never seen before,
Anata to kioku ni shitai kotoI want to turn into a memory with you,
Shitteta no kashiraI wonder if you knew that.
Anna ni warattaWe laughed so much,
Mugen no haiweion this infinite highway.
Mabuta ni toraetaCaptured behind my eyelids,
Keshiki no rifureinis a refrain of the scenery.
Hitomazu hi wo tsuketeFor now, I’ll light a smoke,
Ato de nomu koohiiand have some coffee later.
Anna ni kogaretaWe yearned so much,
Mugen no shinariifor this infinite scenario.
Avant que le bourdonnement des oreilles ne s’effaceBefore the buzzing in my ears fades away,
Je voudrais voir le paysage avec quelqu’unI would like to see the landscape with someone,
A travers la vitre d’une voiturethrough the window of a car.
Meme si c’est un nuageEven if it’s just a cloud,
Meme si c’est une vagueeven if it’s just a wave,
Notre anecdoteit’s our little anecdote.
La pluie en plein cielThe rain in the open sky,
Fait de la nuit une meringueturns the night into a meringue.
Le ciel etoile se voit malThe starry sky is hard to see,
Alors j’appuie mes doigts sur mes yeuxso I press my fingers against my eyes,
Et des constellations apparaissentand constellations appear.
Miminari ga kieru mae niBefore the ringing in my ears disappears,
Shasou kara dareka to keshiki ga mitaiI want to watch the scenery from the car window with someone.
Kumo da to shite moEven if it is just a cloud,
Nami da to shite moeven if it is just a wave,
Watashitachi no anekudootoit becomes our anecdote.
Tenkiame ga yoru wo merenge ni suruA sun shower turns the night into a meringue.
Hoshizora ga mie nikui karaSince the starry sky is hard to see,
Yubi de me wo oshite seiza wo egakuI press on my eyes with my fingers to draw constellations.
The meaning behind ‘HITSUJI’ is the beauty of fleeting moments. This Japanese song from the album ‘Zoo’ invites listeners to cherish the little stories that make life special.
