Fresh Leaves

Lyrics: Motohiro Hata & TOMOO
Composition: Motohiro Hata

A fragrant wind, fresh leaves are here again
The greenway's dyed again this year
I squinted my eyes at its beauty
and rolled up my smeared shirt

Kindergarteners leave the shadows
and beyond their pointer fingers
I'm sure they were able to walk
without thinking of the meaning

The glimmer that closed in on me
and the pain are so nostalgic now
Not knowing a day like that would come
we just rushed through the summers

I wonder if the reason I pointed at the sky hesitatingly
is because in some ways I still believe in myself
Even though I can no longer speak of my dreams unpretentiously
The sunshine always shines on me
in the same way

The song always lingering
creates small sunlight filtering through trees
and it's as if the pasts we'd thought we'd lost
touch us unexpectedly

Resignation and regret
like old friends
softly push our backs that can't move forward

The seasons go round again and are reborn
so that we can meet again somewhere, so that we can remember
Even if we can no longer sing with the same breath as before
I too will again carry the light I've received
without realizing it

Once you held up your hands to the newborn sky, look
a single green leaf sprouted deep in your heart
Once I took in a deep breath throughout my whole body
the sunlight shines on me and I again start walking
beyond this path

Aoba

Sakkyoku: Hata Motohiro

Kaoru kaze meguru aoba
Kotoshi mo ryokudou wo someta
Sono mabayusa ni me wo hosomete
Nijimu shatsu no sode wo makutta

Enjira wa kage wo nukete
Hitosashiyubi no saki e
Imi nante kangaenakutemo
Kitto aruketeta noni

Oshiyoseta kirameki ya
Itami wa mou natsukashii
Sonna hi ga kuru to shirazu
Natsu wo isoideta

Madoinagara sora wo yubisashita wake wa
Dokoka de mada jibun no koto shinjiteru kara kana
Terai mo naku yume wo katarenaku nattemo
Hi no hikari wa itsudatte onaji you ni ima wo
Terashite kureru

Itsumademo nokoru uta wa
Chiisa na komorebi tsukutte
Nakushita tsumori no kakotachi mo
Fui ni furete kuru you

Akirame ya koukai wa
Furui tomodachi no you ni
Susumezu ni iru senaka wo sotto oshite iru

Kisetsu ga mata mawatte umarekawaru nowa
Mata dokoka de aeru you ni omoidaseru you ni
Itsuka to onaji kokyuu de utaenaku nattemo
Kizukanai mama uketotta hikari wo boku mo mata
Hakondeku'n darou

Umaretate no sora e te wo kazaseba hora
Mune no oku de hitohira no aoi ha ga mebuita
Karadajuu de iki wo fukaku suikonda nara
Hi no hikari ga terashidasu kono michi no saki e to
Mata arukidasu
