Words: Yoshida Miwa
Music: Nakamura Masato

tomorrow will come again

Again today the day begins like all the others,
the person next to me looks up at the sky clicking their tongue.
umbrellas blossom at the giant intersection
Rain or shine my wishes don't reach,
because a tomorrow without you is coming.
Now if the light changes I'll be washed away
-my memory, please die away.

A person bumped into me from behind and passed by.
though it was my fault for spacing out, he apologized to me.
the cold raindrops looked like tears.
If I break down crying my wishes still don't reach,
because a tomorrow without you is coming.
now if I arrive at the station I'll be washed away
-my memory, please die away.

no one stops even for the news on the street
even for annoyed bicycles.
rain or shine my wish won't reach,
because a tomorrow without you is coming.
now I can't walk, I want to be washed away.
-my memory, please die away

Even though everyone lives by
carrying an umbrella when it rains, and taking off their coat when its clear out
I want to be hit by the rain, If it's clear out I want to be burned by the sun.
If I break down crying, my wishes still don't reach,
because a morning without you will end today.
now as things are
someday until this memory dies away.
until the day this memory dies away.
until I climb the sky.

Translated by Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: The song is a desperate and sad song despite the uplifting melody. When Miwa sings that she wants to be cooked by the sun and hit by the rain, the listener can really feel her depression through her positive voice the contradiction shines through.
