Omotenashi Meaning & Lyrics (Kira | Michvel Jvmes)
KIRA notes the Lexus doors opening, toes touching the pavement, and the glow of neon lights. The poet repeats the line, Let me hear you say Omotenashi, as a call for pure hospitality.
Rekusasu kara oriru tsumasakiI step out of the Lexus, toes first.
Imi wo motsu kagayakiThere’s a meaningful glow to this shine.
Chuuto hanpa na resu nara iranaiI don’t need a half-hearted response.
Subete wa omotenashiEverything is ‘Omotenashi’ (selfless hospitality).
Mi ni tsukeru mono naraIf it’s something I’m going to wear,
Kowarenai mono janakya ikenaiit has to be something that won’t break.
Mentaru ga luxuryMy mindset is pure luxury,
Donna aite demono matter who I’m facing.
Saikou wo ageruI’ll give you my absolute best.
Kuuki mitai atarimae ni attaIt was as natural as the air I breathe.
Nichijou ni byeSay goodbye to the everyday routine.
Tomarenai imaI can’t stop now.
Rekusasu kara oriru tsumasakiI step out of the Lexus, toes first.
Imi wo motsu kagayakiThere’s a meaningful glow to this shine.
Let me hear you say o-mo-te-na-shiLet me hear you say ‘Omotenashi’,
Chuuto hanpa na resu nara iranaibecause I don’t need a half-hearted response.
Subete wa omotenashiEverything is ‘Omotenashi’,
Let me hear you say o-mo-te-na-shiso let me hear you say ‘Omotenashi’.
Motenasou motenasou motenasouLet’s welcome them, let’s welcome them, let’s welcome them.

Egao fuyasou namida herasouLet’s bring more smiles and fewer tears.
Douse heru nara onaka wo herasouIf something’s going to decrease, let it just be our hunger.
Ore no raimu to furou wo kakkuratteTake in my rhymes and my flow,
Kono k#so mitee na cul-de-sac nukedasou zeand let’s get out of this s#it-like dead end.
Ore wa downtown boy de yokohamaI’m a downtown boy from Yokohama,
Kimi wa uptown girl sa osakaand you’re an uptown girl from Osaka.
Tomo ni up mo down moSince we’ve both tasted the ups and the downs,
Ajiwatta kara koso hibikiau ndathat’s exactly why we resonate together.
Saa ai wo hirogeyouCome on, let’s spread the love.
Kabe wo koete namami no koe deLet’s cross the walls with our raw, living voices.
Sore ga oretachi no omotenashiThat’s our brand of ‘Omotenashi’.
Yes o-mo-te-na-shiYes, ‘Omotenashi’.
Rekusasu kara oriru tsumasakiI step out of the Lexus, toes first.
Imi wo motsu kagayakiThere’s a meaningful glow to this shine.
Let me hear you say o-mo-te-na-shiLet me hear you say ‘Omotenashi’,
Chuuto hanpa na resu nara iranaibecause I don’t need a half-hearted response.
Subete wa omotenashiEverything is ‘Omotenashi’,

Toki ga tachi sekai ga kawatte moEven if time passes and the world changes,
Kawaranai kokorothis heart will never change.

Kakegae no nai jikan wowe’ll cherish this irreplaceable time.
