Jin's Comment
What in the world does the word ‘friends’ refer to? People whom we play with every day? People whose hobbies and preferences match ours? People who answer, ‘We are’ when we ask, ‘We’re friends, right’? Somehow, none of these come to me straight-up. Still, it’s so odd. I do have someone who crosses my mind in that regard nevertheless. We haven’t seen each other in a while now, but I believe he’s surely my ‘friend’. Please do listen to this song while thinking of your number one ‘friend’.

Lyrics & Translation
「また遊ぼうね」って　手を振って 三々五々に　消えていく
 * -|Kanji=

滲む　小さな影たちを 鼻歌まじりに　見送っている

夕焼けを肩に　背負いながら 僅かに想うのは　君のこと

最近　何をしてるのかな そうだ、次に会えたら話そうかな

思えば本当に 遠く、歩いて来たなって

考えてみても 道は昨日と変わらない

もう、大人になったのか 解らないまま　今日も日が落ちる

希望も、理想も　先伸ばしたまま 今日も、夕ご飯のことを　考える

電信柱と　オレンジの陽に 代わる代わるに　染められて

あの日の　無邪気な僕たちと 同じ景色を　見上げている

夕焼け小焼けを　歌いながら コンビニ袋を　ぶら下げて

繰り返していく　毎日は どこか　かっこ悪くって 笑っちゃうよなぁ

間違っていても 時計は　巻き戻らなくって

気がついたらまた 時間と　歳を重ねて

もう、大人になったのに くだらないことばっかり　思い浮かぶ

希望も、理想も　見つからないけれど 何故か、嫌いじゃないんだ

不思議だなぁ　大人になったけど 君は、今でも僕の「友達」だと

自然に、普通に、そう思えるのさ そうだ、久しぶりだねって　電話しよう

今日は　子供みたいに　笑い合おう “Mata asobou ne” tte te o futte Sansan gogo ni kieteiku

Saying “let’s play again, okay?” I waved my hands They disappear in small groups

I see those blurring small shadows off While humming a tune

With the evening glow of the sunset on my back, Vaguely, my thoughts are of you

Recently, I’ve been wondering what I should do That’s right And wondering what we’ll talk about next time we meet

Ah, thinking about it, I’ve walked and come such a long way

Ah, even if I try thinking about it, The road hasn’t changed at all since yesterday

Geez, have I already become an adult? While still not understanding, another day comes to a close

Putting my hopes and even ideals on hold, Today, again, I think about what tonight’s dinner will be

The telephone poles are dyed orange In visibly alternating patterns

The simple-minded us of that day Raised our eyes to the same scenery

While singing of the lightly scorching sunset I carry bags from the convenience store

These repeating day-to-days will someday be uncoolly laughed at, huh?

Ah, even if mistakes are being made, The clock won’t turn back

Ah, when you realize it, The time and years will pile on

Sigh, even though I’ve already become an adult Nothing but stupid things come to mind

Hope and even ideals, even though I can’t find them Why? For some reason I don’t dislike it

Isn’t it such a strange thing? That even though I’ve become an adult, you are still my “friend”

Naturally and ordinarily, I think those things That’s right “It’s been a while” - let’s say that on the phone

Today, let’s laugh together like kids
