一生の間に何人と出逢えるのだろう (Isshou no aida nannin to deaeru no darou) – How many people will we meet in a lifetime?
Performed by Team 8.
——
Someone’s laughter is sounding from somewhere
With the wind carrying happiness here
It may feel insecure to walk alone, but
There are many “someone”s in the world
The trees in the park
Under the sun’s light
Create one shadow
The leaves on the branches overlap
Living together
How many people will we meet
In a lifetime?
People with an irreplaceable existence
Whom we can discuss our dreams with
Sunny days and rainy days
No matter what the sky is like
If I can stay by your side
Tomorrow will always be fun
The seasons change, and along this road
As if a picture book on plants has been opened
Petals of various colors mix together
Making the road so beautiful
The more I notice how I’m different
And am inspired by it
I start to understand myself
To not know “others”
Is just too much of a waste
How many people will we meet
Throughout this life?
People who teach us love
And bonds of destiny
Smiles and tears
Sharing it all with each other
If I can live while facing forward
Even the usual today will shine
Not just passing by
Meeting the other, becoming friends
Wanting to walk on together
One day, suddenly, when I look to the side
Will “someone” be there?
How many people will we meet
In a lifetime?
People with an irreplaceable existence
Whom we can discuss our dreams with
Sunny days and rainy days
No matter what the sky is like
If I can stay by your side
Tomorrow will always be fun
