東江戸川 西は奥多摩
空に伸びるビルにタワー
都市部には世界一の人口
文化を生み 経済流行リード
で君はどこから
俺はフロム神戸経由して横浜
大事なのは「どこから来た」より
「何をしてる」か「何をした」かだ


元気ですか、東京!
夢追ってますか、東京!!
アジアや世界に負けてない?
良い時にあぐらかいて 怠けてない??
暗い夜は東京音頭踊りな
辛い日には東京タワー登りな
問題もあるが魅惑のエリア
元気押し出せ盛り上げ 夢は絵になる


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
田舎から? 郊外? 在住? ようこそ!
探してるもの やりたいこと
夢を叶える街 大東京


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
海外!? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
光り輝き 眠らない街
何でもある街 大東京


T・O・K・Y・O 気が抜けないぞ!
怠けてる奴は、置いていかれるぞ
想像以上にある人情に 便乗して日々 To The Beat Yo
俺は東京の端っこで育った八王子っ子 から今この大東京
今日も粋ないなせな プレーヤー気取りながらの生活
目まぐるしくも 奇しくも この街は
オートマティックだが夜はドラマチック
愛や恋で溢れ 夢や希望に敗れた
若者のたまり場 BARにたくさんの居酒屋
毎晩のように街は賑やか
諦めなけりゃ何度でも
夢叶えられる ここ大東京


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
田舎から? 郊外? 在住? ようこそ!
探してるもの やりたいこと
夢を叶える街 大東京


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
海外!? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
光り輝き 眠らない街
何でもある街 大東京


俺は東京タワー見ながら育った
毎日刺激 ここ居たから貰った
だから何か変えたきゃここにおいで
後先考えるの 置いといて
夢見る奴らが集まって
日々実現する為 闘ってる
モロ圧倒される数の摩天楼は
君に問いかける「やるの?」「やめんの?」


でもビルの裏には 民家があって
じーさんばーさん みんな笑ってる
ここにも意外にある 義理人情
助け助けられ 日々進歩
ダメならまたやる何度でも
夢を捨てなきゃなるなんとでも
感じたら応答すぐに行動
Hey yo! What’s up? どうよ東京!!


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
田舎から? 郊外? 在住? ようこそ!
探してるもの やりたいこと
夢を叶える街 大東京


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
海外!? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
光り輝き 眠らない街
何でもある街 大東京

Translated Title:
Great Tokyo

East Edogawa, Okutama to the west
Buildings and towers stretching toward the sky
Urban centers have the world’s largest population
Giving birth to culture, taking the lead in trade and fashion
…so where are you from?
I’m from Kobe, by way of Yokohama
The important thing isn’t “where did you come from”
It’s “what are you doing”, and “what have you done”


You doing ok, Tokyo?
You chasing your dreams, Tokyo?
You’re not letting the rest of Asia, or the world, beat you?
You sure you won’t be slacking off, cross-legged, when the good times come?
On dark nights, just dance Tokyo Ondo
On hard days, just climb Tokyo Tower
The area’s got its problems, but it’s got charm
Spirits crowd and soar high, dreams become picture-perfect


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
You from the boonies? Suburbs? Living here? Welcome!
What you’re looking for, what you want to do
This town will make your dreams come true: Great Tokyo


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
Overseas? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
Lights shining, this town doesn’t sleep
This town’s got everything: Great Tokyo


T・O・K・Y・O, you can’t let your guard down
If you slack off, you’ll get left behind
Riding along with more kindness than you can imagine, live each day to the beat, yo!
I grew up in a corner of Tokyo, I’m a Hachioji boy, now in Great Tokyo
Today I’m making a living, pretending at being a chic, smart player
Bewildering, mysterious, this town is
It’s automatic, but at night, it’s dramatic
Overflowing with love and romance, broken by dreams and hopes
The young people gather at the many bars and pubs
Every night, the town’s bustling
If you never give up, over and over
Your dreams can come true, here in great Tokyo


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
You from the boonies? Suburbs? Living here? Welcome!
What you’re looking for, what you want to do
This town will make your dreams come true: Great Tokyo


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
Overseas? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
Lights shining, this town doesn’t sleep
This town’s got everything: Great Tokyo


I grew up looking at Tokyo tower
Every day’s stimulating—it was, because I was here
So if there’s something you wanna change, come on over
Set aside your concerns about consequences
All the dreamers gather together
They’re fighting each day to make their dreams a reality
The totally overwhelming number of skyscrapers
Pose the question, “You gonna go for it?” “You gonna quit?”


But behind the buildings, there are homes
Grandpas and grandmas, everyone’s laughing
Here too, there’s more duty and humanity than you’d think
Helping and being helped, moving forward each day
If it’s no good, then just do it again, however many times it takes
As long as you don’t throw away your dream, it’ll happen, no matter what
Once you feel it, respond, then take action
Hey yo! What’s up? How’s that, Tokyo?


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
You from the boonies? Suburbs? Living here? Welcome!
What you’re looking for, what you want to do
This town will make your dreams come true: Great Tokyo


Hey! How are you doing Tokyo?
Overseas? Hey guys! What’s up? Welcome!
Lights shining, this town doesn’t sleep
This town’s got everything: Great Tokyo
