Tokyo Weather

Lyrics: Van Tomiko
Music: Kazuo Zaitsu
Arrangement: Sin

How have you been?
Do you spend hours everyday
Busy with something?

You're smiling in my arranged photos
And even now your smile gives me courage

As those days we had fun fade away
Love advances in and tears overflow

In this town dyed in twilight
There's a warmth I want to believe in
Even the sorrow I will someday meet again
Will change into tenderness

I'm hurt
By the casual voice of someone
And am reminded of my own weakness

I'm sure the happiness everyone is searching for
Is a really trivial event

On mornings of beginnings, and on nights of tears
When I think of you, I can be stronger
If there's a key to open the door to tomorrow
I'm sure it's in these hands

Time goes by, and I
Become an adult again little by little
All sadness and tears will someday
Change into tenderness

Tokyo Biyori

Genki de imasu ka?

Isogashii jikan sugoshite imasu ka?

Narabeta shashin no naka de warau kimi wa
Ima mo kawarazu ni yuuki wo kureru yo

Hashaida hibi ga toozakaru hodo
Itoshisa oshiyosete namida koboreru ne

Tasogare ni somaru kono machi no naka
Shinjite itai nukumori ga aru
Itsuka mata deau kanashimi sae mo
Yasashisa ni kawatte yuku n da ne

Nanigenai dareka no

Jibun no yowai toko omoishirasareru

Kitto daremo ga sagashite iru
Shiawase wa totemo sasai na dekigoto

Hajimari no asa mo namida no yoru mo
Kimi wo omoeba tsuyoku nareru yo
Ashita e no tobira hiraku KAGI nara
Kono te no naka ni aru hazu da ne

Toki wa meguri yuku soshite bokura wa
Sukoshidzutsu mata otona ni natte
Donna kanashimi mo namida mo itsuka
Yasashisa ni kawatte yuku kara
