Daikan'yama Refrain

Lyrics & Composition: Yuujin Kitagawa

What I'm gazing at from the top of the Daikan'yama pedestrian bridge
is the unchanging orange evening sun coloring the city
I had no money, but just time I didn't know what to do with and my dreams expanded
I see the us from those days in the young people I pass by

Sitting on a bench, exhausted from the stuff we carried after traveling around second-hand stores
we talked the whole time even in a park under the cold sky
With a twinkle in our eyes as we said we'd like to live in this town someday
we both warmed our hands using Gogo Tea insead of a heat pack

"I told you so"
Even if someone said it, we pretended not to know
we pretended we couldn't hear them
"That's not true"
The future I imagined made fun of and laughed even at my fears
Shadows of those days grow far away

I'm one step closer to being the adult I said I didn't want to be
I'm certainly stepping forward like that
but my life is way better off now than my youthful enthusiasm
And yet I suddenly find myself envying those days

Swayed on the Toyoko Line, you held out just one earphone
I was fascinated by the British rock music you let me listen to
Deciding everything in the world based on whether it was cool or uncool
we puffed cigarettes in worn down boots in the corner of the city

Doing lots of unnecessary stuff
we put on a front, saying they didn't need to understand when they said they were fed up with us
Saying we don't care
whether it's a loss or a win, we just gotta have fun. That was our answer
Can you hear it? The voice of freedom

Ah, the gears turn, creaking without rest
It won't come back anymore. Time moves on carrying us with it

"I told you so"
Even if someone said it, we pretended not to know
we pretended we couldn't hear them
"That's not true"
The future I imagined made fun of and laughed even at my fears
"You've changed"
Will the you of those days laugh when you look at me now?
"That's not true"
I'm living for the day while protecting what's important
Shadows of those days grow far away
I'm going now towards a path continuing to tomorrow
