°C-ute - Kono Machi (この街)

Kanji:

街のはずれの駅で　あなたを見送ったのは
二年も前のことね　元気にしてるかな?
この街も変わったわ　あの海も埋めたてられ
砂浜もなくなった　みんな思い出だわ

子でものころ遊んだ広場は　大きなビルが
みんな消えてゆく　空に浮かぶ白い雲のように

でもこの街が好きよ　生まれた街だから
空はまだ青く広いわ　田んぼも
この街が大好きよ　のんびりしてるから
魚も安くて新鮮

卒業してみんなは　この街を出て行くけど
方言を使わなく　なるのはさみしいわ

古い校舎も建てかえられて　記念碑さえ
みんな消えてゆく　空に浮かぶ白い雲のように

でもこの街が好きよ　育った街だから
星はまだ夜空いっぱい　ほたるも
この街が大好きよ　きれいな朝焼けも
このまま変わらないでいて

「やっぱいいな、この景色」
「毎日通った学校」
「友達とよくランチしたカフェ」
「あの頃は、大盛り食べてたっけ」
「そんなみんなも、今はそれぞれの道を歩いてるんだね」
「うん。私も頑張んなきゃ」

でもこの街が好きよ　生まれた街だから
空はまだ青く広いわ　田んぼも
この街が大好きよ　のんびりしてるから
魚も安くて新鮮

「あいつとか、最近何してるのかな？」
「おやじっぽく太ってたりして」
「でも会ったら、離れてた時間とか
関係なく、あの頃に戻るんだろうな」
「そういえば、校舎の隅に埋めたタイムカプセル。
私、何て書いたっけ？」
「今見ると、恥ずかしいんだろうな」
「この街、大好きだよ！」

Two years ago, I said farewell to you
at the station in the outskirts of the town... I wonder if you're doing well?
This town has changed as well, the sea was buried
and the beach has disappeared... it's just a memory for everyone

The places where we used to play when we were kids
Replaced with big buildings, they've vanished like the white clouds that fly in the sky

But I love this town, because it's where I was born
The sky is still blue and wide, like the rice fields
I love this town, because it's a place where you can relax
The fish here are cheap and fresh as well

Since we graduated
most of our classmates have left this town
It's sad that they've started to lose their dialect

The old school building and the monuments have all been replaced
They've vanished like the white clouds that fly in the sky

But I love this town, because it's where I was raised
There's still a lot of stars in the night sky, and fireflies as well
I love this town, because the morning glow looks pretty from here
Please, stay just like this, without changing

"Ah... this landscape is really nice, huh"
"The school we went to everyday..."
"The cafe I used to eat lunch at with my friends"
"We used to eat really large servings back then, didn't we?"
"Those persons that we used to know... they're all walking different paths now"
"Yeah... I must do my best too"

But I love this town, because it's where I was born
The sky is still blue and wide, like the rice fields
I love this town, because it's a place where you can relax
The fish here are cheap and fresh as well

"I wonder what's he doing these days?"
"What if he's gotten fat and old-man like?"
"But if I saw him again, then without paying attention to when
we stopped seeing each other, I'd be surely taken back to those days"
"Speaking of that, that time capsule we buried in a corner of the school...
I can't remember what I wrote"
"I bet it'd be really embarrasing to read it now"
"I love this town!"
