Lumière Lyrics English Translation by Harukamirai
Manabu Hashimoto and Shun Sudo note, ‘These very days are what I can call my pride.’ They describe shining lumière on the station platform. The wind brushing their cheek brings back cherry blossoms.

Kore kara hanashimasu gastarting right now, but
Maku o akete kara ima madefrom the moment the curtain opened until now,
Arikitari datta to omoimasu ka?do you think it’s been just ordinary?
