Ootsuka Ai

Romaji by Megchan

Romaji

Taiyou ga oyasumi no aizu de ugokidasu kono high touch town de
Hedatenai hitotachi no waraigoe

Kawariyuku mainichi no kibun wa saifu no nakami mo kaete yuku
Tengoku to jigoku no kawari banko

Yoru dake no kao nounai kusuri no you
Teppen mawatte fukai yoru ni naru

Kirabiyaka ni akari terasu hitokoishisa ni atsumatte odoru
Yakei no naka kimiiro wo sagashiteru sonna machi toukyou middonaito

Nan datte afureru kono tokai wa kurushimi mo mou doushiyou mo nakute

Afureru gomi to aisatsu suru

Sanjisugi onna no kotachi afure keshou naoshi
Sara ni mise wa nigiwatte moriagari wo miseteru

Sake ni yoishire kane ga maichiri
Asa ga chikazuku owaru kono yoru

Kirabiyaka ni akari terasu hitokoishisa ni atsumatte odoru
Yakei no naka kimi wo futo omoidashiteru sonna machi toukyou middonaito

Tsukare hateta asa genjitsu ni kaeri shizukarikaetta
Mou ichido yoru ni modosu

Kirabiyaka ni akari terasu hitokoishisa ni atsumatte utau
Yakei no naka yume wo sagashi ue wo muku sonna machi toukyou middonaito

English

The sun begings its “goodnight” signal with a high touch down
People’s laughs, indistinguishable from each other

My ever-changing feelings affect even the contents of my wallet
Alternating between heaven and hell

The face I see only at night is like medicine for my mind
There’s a sharp change to a deep darkness

We get together and dance in the bright lights of love
I search the night scenery for the colour of you – that’s Tokyo at midnight

In this town where everything is in abundance, even pain can’t be helped

I say hi to an abundance of rubbish

After 3am there is a crowd of girls touching up their makeup
And the shops are booming, showing their wares

Money begins to pour from the drunken people
Morning approaches and the night ends

We get together and dance in the bright lights of love
In the night scenery I suddenly think of you – that’s Tokyo at midnight

The tired morning brings back reality, and quiet is restored
And night comes once again

We get together and sing in the bright lights of love
I search the night scenery for my dreams, and look up – that’s Tokyo at midnight
