Title: Arigatoutou (Thanks a Million)
Words: Hitoto Yoh
Music: Yamauchi K.

I have a secret,
ha-a- the truth is,
I like mom just a teensy bit more,
but on a date, I'd prefer you Dad.

there are three "patience stones" in the garden
when I gaze absent-mindedly upon them
I realize that some things never change
stay next to me like you're napping... stay here.

if you two hadn't met
I'd have never been born
a thousand times, a million
many thanks, thank you

violin lessons
ha-a- to be honest, I hated them
I just wanted you to tell me what a good girl I was.
it's no lie, I love you dad.

I found the sight of you walking briskly,
refreshing that Spring
a thousand times, a million
many thanks, thank you

hurry up everyone and notice
ha-a- the water that's streaking down your faces
do you really understand
'who do you like better me or my older sister?'
even if you don't answer... you're my dad.

it's because you two fell in love
these years have been all 'furrowed brows' and 'i see, i see'
a thousand times, a million
many thanks, thank you.
