I Found a Hidden Gem!

Lyrics & Composition: Angela Aki
Arrangement: Hajime Kawauchi

Treasures come out one after another
Hidden gems sleep in the shed
All of them are covered in so much dust
that even if they sell, they'd be dirt cheap

Azuki-covered mochi from a shelf1, treasure from a shed
Since anything's fine, it'll sell

If we can find some, that'll be quite enough
Luxuries are the enemy2
If we can find some, we'll be all set
I found a hidden gem!

We find treasures one after another
Nostalgic things sleep in the shed
All of them are covered in so much dust
The buried memories remain untouched
Azuki-covered mochi from a shelf, treasure from a shed
It's all things we can't use anymore now

We take great care of them, believing the day we can use them will come
Until the day they see the light of day
I found a hidden gem!

Our dusty past can no longer come back
Our memories alone fade away

Azuki-covered mochi from a shelf, treasure from a shed
It's all things we can't use anymore now
They bring back indellible memories that're always deep in our minds
We just lock them up and stow them away
not complaining to anyone, not complaining to anyone

Not complaining to anyone

* [1] - "Tana kara botamochi (Azuki-covered mochi from a shelf)" is an idiom meaning an "unexpected piece of good luck".
* [2] - This literally translates as "I won't ask for it, until I/we win (the war)", and was a slogan used during the Pacific War in Japan. It was used as a way to tell the population to "not be selfish, be thrifty", especially in context to Japan's limited resources during that time.
Horidashimon Miitsuketa

Tsugi kara tsugi e dete kuru takaramono
Naya ni nemuru horidashimono
Dore mo kore mo hokori wo kabutte
Ureta to shitemo kitto nisoku sanmon

Tana kara botamochi naya kara takaramono
Nandemo ii kara ureru mono

Mitsukedasetara on no ji ja
Hoshigarimasen katsu made wa
Mitsukedasetara banbanzai
Horidashimon miitsuketa

Tsugi kara tsugi e mitsukaru takaramono
Naya ni nemuru natsukashii mono
Dore mo kore mo hokori wo kabutte
Umoreta omoide sonomama ni natte iru
Tana kara botamochi naya kara takaramono
Ima wa mou tsukaenu mono bakari

Itsuka tsukaeru hi ga kuru to goshoudaiji ni totte aru
Itsuka hi no me wo miru hi made
Horidashimon miitsuketa

Mou modorenai hokori kabutta kako
Omoide dake ga iroaseteku

Tana kara botamochi naya kara takaramono
Ima wa mou tsukaenu mono bakari
Kokoro no soku ni itsumo aru kesenai omoide yobiokosu
Tada kagi wo kake shimaikomu
Dare nimo kobosazu dare nimo kobosazu

Dare nimo kobosazu
掘り出しもんみーつけた
