You were looking at the sky, so delighted.
Just beyond Tokyo Tower,
A rainbow formed its arch.
Then you kissed me on the cheek.
Surprisingly, I remember a lot of things,
Even the things I know will never come again.
I end up looking for traces of them here and there.
The song you used to only whistle for me
Was the slightest bit sad, a melody that clenches my heart.
I tell myself again and again
The sadness is only temporary.
I’m living the same kinds of days
I always used to before.
So that we can each seek our own happiness…
So that I can remain myself…
Oh, I have to go.
Oh, I have to go.
I realized that no matter the music,
No matter how thrilling or popular the movie,
None of them compare to your smile.
Hey, do you still remember that rainbow?
I don’t mind saying with conviction:
You were the one who taught me
The pride of living my life for another.
If a person gets weaker,
The more things they have to protect,
Then I’ve surely become stronger
Ever since that day.
So that we can each seek our own happiness…
So that you can remain yourself…
Oh, you’ll have to go.
Inside each of our hearts
We’re all singing a song called “Sadness”.
It’s the slightest bit melancholic,
A melody that makes us long for someone.
I tell myself again and again
The good times are only temporary.
In a slightly cold way
I’ve picked up the wisdom to survive.
So that we can each seek our own happiness…
So that I can remain myself…
Oh, I have to go.
Oh, I have to go.
Oh, you’ll have to go.
Oh, you’ll have to go.
