Tookutooku ('06 Version)

遠く遠く離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
外苑の桜は咲き乱れ
この頃になるといつでも
新幹線のホームに舞った
見えない花吹雪思い出す
まるで七五三の時のように
ぎこちないスーツ姿も
今ではわりと似合うんだ
ネクタイも上手く選べる
同窓会の案内状
欠席に丸をつけた
「元気かどうかしんぱいです。」と
手紙をくれるみんなに
遠く遠く離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
いつでも帰ってくればいいと
真夜中の公衆電話で
言われたとき笑顔になって
今までやってこれたよ
どんなに高いタワーからも
見えない僕のふるさと
失くしちゃだめなことを
いつでも胸に抱きしめているから
遠く遠く離れた街で
元気に暮らせているんだ
大事なのは"変わってくこと"
"変わらずにいること"
同窓会の案内状
欠席に丸をつけた
だれよりも今はみんなの顔
見たい気持ちでいるけど
遠く遠く 離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
僕の夢をかなえる場所は
この街と決めたから

Tookutooku ('06 Version)

Even though we are far, far apart
To let you know that I am fine
I want to welcome the day I can shine bright
In this city
The cherry blossoms of Gaien are in full bloom
Around this time, I always
Think of the unseen cherry blossom petals that danced on the
Shinkansen platform
Just like during the Shichi-Go-San festival
Even my awkward suit
Now looks quite good on me
I can even choose a tie well
Class reunion invitation
I put a check mark on "absent"
Everyone who writes to me saying,
"I'm worried about whether you are okay"
Even though we are far, far apart
To let you know that I am fine
I want to welcome the day I can shine bright
In this city
When you said over the payphone in the middle of the night,
"You can always come back"
I smiled and was able to
Carry on until now
Even from the tallest tower
I can't see my hometown
The things I mustn't lose
I always hold them close to my chest
In this distant city
I am living well
What's important is "change"
"Staying the same"
Class reunion invitation
I put a check mark on "absent"
More than anyone, I want to see your faces
But
Even though we are far, far apart
To let you know that I am fine
I want to welcome the day I can shine bright
In this city
I have decided that this city
Is the place where I will fulfill my dreams
