Tokyo Gekijyo Lyrics {English Translation} | Ettone
Ettone brings us ‘Tokyo Gekijyo,’ a song that blends modern beats with poetic storytelling. ALYSA, Wez Atlas, mirano, and pia write the lyrics, while Alawn, Yohei Kunii, and Yuki Takahashi create the music. The track opens with the rising curtain of a bustling Tokyo intersection, setting the stage for a vivid urban tale.
The song describes a city where neon lights flicker and masks are worn, asking, ‘Who am I really?’ The performer sings about wandering in search of identity, with lines like, ‘Someday my own culture is bound to take shape, but right now, I’m wandering upside down.’ The metaphor of Tokyo as a theater highlights the daily drama of life.
Sozen na kosaten no setsuna o aizu ni maku ga agaruThe curtain rises on a fleeting moment at the clamorous intersection.
Me o kuramasu neon light matatakuDazzling neon lights flicker and blink.
Koko wa gekijyo kaburu maskThis place is a theater where we put on a mask.

Kagami ni utsuru sugata mada anonymousThe figure reflected in the mirror remains anonymous.
