Jikan wa nijuuyon mataide nijuugoas the clock crosses midnight into the twenty-fifth hour.
Yoi ni makase miraabooruLost in the intoxication, under the mirror ball,

Odakyuu-sen nagameru ToukyouStaring out at Tokyo from the Odakyu line,
Yureru hitogomi ga suroomooshonthe swaying crowds pass by in slow motion,
Kata ga butsukaru oudanhodouon the crosswalk where shoulders brush past each other.
Ore wa kyou moEven today, I’m
Koko ni iru ze Bro miwatashita biruright here, bro, looking out over the buildings.
Tokai no sora no shita de chisasas o shiruBeneath the city sky, I realize how small I really am.
Nanigenai kaiwa shita Phone CallBut from a casual phone call,
Kara baibusu moraeta hontouI honestly caught some good vibes.
Koukai ga nai tte iebaIf I said I had no regrets,
Uso ni wa naru no kamo nathat might be a lie.
Demo kono kabe ga nakeryaBut if this wall wasn’t blocking my way,
Yume to wa yobenai no kamo naI probably couldn’t even call it a dream.
Dare no mane ya kone ya Money ya Power janakuteNot relying on imitation, connections, money, or power,
Pyua ni tafu ni rafu ni ore de itakuteI just want to stay pure, tough, rough, and true to myself.
Bukiyou de mikansei waruku nai zeBeing clumsy and incomplete isn’t so bad;
Mune o hatteruI’m holding my head up high.

Hanashi chigau ze ToukyouThis isn’t the story I was told, Tokyo.
Ima no forowaa gurai no jinkouWith a population about the size of my current followers,
No inaka kara yume o mite joukyouI left the countryside and moved here chasing a dream.
Futa akereba boroboro no hiirooBut reality hit, and now I’m just a tattered hero.
Sukoshi kanaeta yume no sei de nemurenaiI can’t sleep because of the dreams I’ve slightly fulfilled,
Motto kanaeta yatsu ga iru karaknowing there are guys who have achieved even more.
“Kagayaku aitsu to nani ga chigau no?” tteAsking myself, “What’s the difference between me and that shining star?”
Sore ga wakaranai no ga yume o ou tsurasa deNot knowing the answer is the true pain of chasing a dream.
“Hontou ni ore wa kore de ii no?”“Is this really the right path for me?”
Tte omou kedoI wonder, but
Dareka ga sono senaka o miteru rashii yoit seems someone is actually watching my back.
Jibun ja mirenai yo neI can’t see it myself, you know.
“Akiramenai koto” dake yaru shika neeAll I can do is simply refuse to give up.
Yuuutsu na koukouDuring my melancholic high school days,
Kuroiso-yuki notteriding the train bound for Kuroiso,
Kiita “Life is” de yume o miruI listened to “Life is” and let myself dream.
Maigo ni nariyasui akumu ga gouhou no machiIn a city where nightmares are legal and it’s easy to lose your way,
Mata ano kyoku de shoshin ni kaeru hibiI return to my roots with that song time and time again.
