Lyrics

omotta toori daremo inai
tokubetsu na koi no yokan mo shinai
nigamushi hitotsu kamishimete
hosoi roji no saki ni kimi

yanagi de atte tanuki janai
demachi de atte kouji janai
machigai darake wo norikoete
bokura wa hashite iku

sukoshi zutsu kage ga se wo nobashite mo
madamada owari janai sa
kyou
gogo kara wa machi no kaze ni natte
kimi rashiku odoreba ii janai

kin mirai wo ureu yori
jissai taimu mashiin ni wa norenai kedo
mada iki ga aru nara I don’t care
ima koko de nakucha imi ga nai deshou

Yeah!!!!
Ride the big surf!!!!!
ooru raito

sukoshi zutsu kage ga se wo nobashite mo
madamada owari janai sa
kyou
gogo kara wa machi no kaze ni natte
kimi rashiku odoreba ii janai

English Translation

Just as I thought, there’s no one here
No premonitions for a special kind of love
With a sour face
You stand further on down a narrow alley

It’s Yanagi but not Tanuki
It’s Demachi but not Komichi
Overcoming so many mistakes
We keep running

Even though shadows gradually grow longer
It’s hardly the end yet
Today
This afternoon, change to the wind of the city
And be yourself and dance

Rather than worry over the near future
Can’t get on a time machine anyway
If we’re still breathing, I don’t care
It’s pointless if you don’t leave here right now

Yeah!!!
Ride the big surf!!!!
All right

Even though shadows gradually grow longer
It’s hardly the end yet
Today
This afternoon, change to the wind of the city
And be yourself and dance
