Lyrics: SCANDAL & MASTERWORKS
Music: MASTERWORKS

A middle-aged man I don't know told me
That the rain in Tokyo is very cold
"If I could be young once more too..."
Yeah, the stranger talked about his dreams

I have no idea
What kids these days are thinking about
"If you have free time, let's have tea" he said
He's the one I don't understand

That's how it is...

A Tokyo marathon for 24 hours
The girls who sleep at the music club
With just a glance of eyes, everyone's a friend
Rumors fly about, which is the truth?

I won't tell him
What kids these days are thinking about
It's cliche, but if I dare to say something,
It's happiness comes to those who smile

Hey, papa, is Japan sick at heart?
Hey, mama, it won't recover right away
I'll use medicine

Hey, papa, I hate difficult things
Hey, mama, is the world made on the principles of math?
Hey, papa, is Japan sick at heart?
Hey, mama, it won't recover right away
I'll give it some medicine

Tokyo's at full throttle today too
The man I don't know goes up and down
"I understand your feelings well"
Yeah, a very kind strange man

"I did rash things too in the old days"
Active, positive, naive
"I'll give you a bit of advice"
I really don't understand the man
