1.The sky blue archive!2.
3.I rode my bicycle wanting to see a new view,
4.Just wanting to break free from the days of standing still in the same place.
5.I skipped out on work, lay down on the rooftop, and looked down at the blue sky,
6.Watching whale-like clouds change their shapes.7.
8.Carrying a past so heavy I can’t return it,
9.Sharing the taste of juice in a world covered in sand,
10.Surely, if I were alone, if everyone wasn’t there,
11.I wouldn’t be able to laugh or cry.
12.A community of fate!13.
14.Even if memories from all over the world someday disappear like sand,
15.As long as the sky, the sea, the wind, and you are there, youth will never end.
16.The reason to protect is always simple and clear,
17.Because this place is our only place to belong.18.
19.Even though I tried to act tough, everything was exposed,
20.Coming home from work, the stars nestled together in the night sky.
21.Hey, just a little longer, please, think about it seriously!
22.Meetings that go nowhere, piles of problems.23.
24.The photo folder grows with memories,
25.The object we bought together, I try shaking it with my fingertips.
26.Even in the busy days where I yawn,
27.If it’s with you, I can overcome anything.
28.Victory in every battle!29.
30.Tomorrow is uncertain, and yesterday can’t be changed,
31.But if I don’t let go of the hand I’m holding today, youth will never end.
32.Each of our feelings is always eccentric,
33.But the future we’re heading towards is probably the same.34.
35.I set out on a journey to protect something more important than myself,
36.(The sky blue…) But also your smile,
37.(Archive…) Even a grain of sand,
38.I don’t want to lose anything.
39.Because that, all of that, is our youth.
40.I won’t give it to anyone,
41.Now, let’s go home together!42.
43.Even if memories from all over the world someday disappear like sand,
44.As long as the sky, the sea, the wind, and you are there, youth will never end.
45.The reason to protect is always simple and clear,
46.Because this place is ours,
47.We never want to let go of it,
48.It can’t be bought with money,
49.Our only place to belong.
