KETSUNOPOLIS 13 [Album]
A Song for Expatriates
Lyrics: Ketsumeishi
Composition: Ketsumeishi & GRP
I feel your loneliness and isolation far away
You pour effort into language barriers
How many years has it been that way?
You remember those days. Everything just sucks
"I wanna go home," you whine
You're so brazen, yet you cry too
and you start hating everything
"But why did I come here for?"
And then you ask yourself again
Feelings welling up come back again
"I'm encouraged by your songs"
We're the ones encouraged when we get told that
"I'm proud of you for that"
I leave a message on the phone you don't pick up
I'll do it myself - this is important
By the way, what time is it there?
You're doing your best far away from here
and as a friend I'm proud of you for that
You're doing your best far away from here
you're doing your best, and I pray for your happiness
Don't lose, kindred soul
Don't lose heart, let's move on together
Don't slack off, my far-off friend
Don't lose, don't slack off
How's the world there? Are you able to do things?
Are you holding up? Are you eating well?
Dreams you talked about, dreams you laughed at
How many things did I learn from you in those days?
Moments you can't see have increased
And you have days you can't say you cried
You're a representative of Japan in that country
Respect and support - you're not alone
Friend! Hey, friend
Distant friend. How are you, my kindred soul?
I don't need a "Thanks"
I won't say I want to see you right away, either
Every memory will guide the way
I'm gonna do it too, I'm gonna go all the way
Til the day we meet again under the same sky
Keep doing it, keep fighting
I'll go there
and you'll come here
We'll make jokes out of each other's struggles
We'll drink and talk as much as we can
And our eyes will moisten as we laugh
We'll clasp hands together, saying, "See ya later"
I understand the feelings without saying them
Waving as you turn around...
You're doing your best far away from here
and as a friend I'm proud of you for that
You're doing your best far away from here
you're doing your best, and I pray for your happiness
Don't lose, kindred soul
Don't lose heart, let's move on together
Don't slack off, my far-off friend
Don't lose, don't slack off

Tooku de kanjiru sabishisa kodoku
Kotoba no kabe nimo doryoku wo sosogu
Sonna fuu ni shite mouhaya nannen?
Omoidasu ano koro mou tada saitei
"Mou karitee" to yowane wo haite
Are dake zubutoi omae mo naite
Nandatte subete iya ni natte
"Demo nan no tame koko kita'n dakke?"
Soushite mata jibun ni toikakeru
Komiageru kimochi mata yomigaeru
"Omaera no kyoku ni hagemasareteru yo"
To iware gyaku ni hagemasareteru no
"Sonna omae wo hokori ni omou"
Denai keitai ni sou iinokosu
Ore wa ore de yaru kocchi ga daiji
Tokoro de saa ima socchi wa nanji?

Katatta yume ni waratta yume
Kimi ni ikutsumo ano hi manandakke
Fuete kita mienai jikan
Aru darou namida shita to ienai hi ga
Sono kuni de kimi mo Nihon daihyou
Sonkei ouen hitori ja nai zo
Tomo yo ooi tomo yo

Onaji sora no shita mata au hi made
Mada yatte koi tatakatte koi
Ore ga socchi ni ittari
Omae ga kocchi ni kitari shite
Tagai no kurou wo neta ni shite
Abiru hodo nonde katariatte
Warainagara mo me wa urunde
Mata na to te to te nigiriatte
