Ano Hi no Gogo

The Afternoon of that Day

Okui Masami


Tooi tooi mukashi ni mo koko ni ita you na ki ga suru
Yuuhi ga irotta houkago no kyoushitsu

Kirisugita maegami wo yubisashi warau minna to

Boku ga boku dearu tame ni to
Gamushara mae dake mitekita
Taaimonai kono jikan ni
Mamorareterutte kidzuki mo shinai de

Dare datte sorezore ni mukau zahyou chigau keredo
Ima wa sou yoseatta kokoro onaji da ne

Nagai michi itsumademo tsukazu hanarezu iretara

Kimi ga kimi dearu tame ni wa
Nani wo nozomi yumemiru?
Boku ni dekiru koto wa subete
Youishiteru yo kuchi ja ie nakutemo

Sukoshizutsu toki wa nagareru
maegami boku no mabuta ni
Fureru goro mo kitto kawaranu
Yuuyake ga minna wo tsutsun de
Boku ga boku dearu tame ni to
Nanika wo sagashi tsudzuketa
Taaimonai kono jikan ga
Kotae dato shitta korekara mo zutto...

I feel like I was here long, long ago as well
With the sunset coloring the afterschool classroom

I pointed and laughed along with everyone over my bangs that were cut too short

In order for me to be me
I'll recklessly look forward
In such a foolish time
You wouldn't even notice if you were protected

The coordinates each person is going toward are different
But now that they're closer, aren't our hearts the same?

On this long road, if can we continuously stay on neutral ground...

In order for you to be you
What sorts of desires do you dream of?
Everything that I can do
Is prepared, though it won't come out of my mouth

Little by little, time goes on
Now my bangs are over my eyelids
The sunset wrapped up everyone
I'm sure it didn't change even as we touched
In order for me to be me
I continue to search for something
In such a foolish time
If you know the answer, you will from here on out, forever...
