遠く遠く - 2012 Remaster

Even if we're far, far apart
So you can understand me
I want to welcome the day I can shine
With all my might in this town

The cherry blossoms at Gaien bloom in profusion
Whenever it comes to this time of year
I remember the invisible flurry of petals
That danced on the Shinkansen platform
Just like when I was seven-five-three
Even the awkward suit appearance
Now suits me quite well
I can even choose a nice tie

Invitation to the class reunion
I marked it with an absence
"I worry if you're doing well,"
To everyone who writes letters to me

Even if we're far, far apart
So you can understand me
I want to welcome the day I can shine
With all my might in this town

"You can always come back,"
Said at the payphone in the middle of the night
It made me smile
And I've made it this far

Even from the tallest tower
My hometown can't be seen
Because I'm always embracing
The things I must not lose in my heart

In a town far, far away
I'm living healthily
What's important is
To change and to stay the same

Invitation to the class reunion
I marked it with an absence
More than anyone, right now, I want to see
Everyone's faces

Even if we're far, far apart
So you can understand me
I want to welcome the day I can shine
With all my might in this town

I've decided that the place
To fulfill my dreams is this town

Tooku tooku hanarete ite mo
Boku no koto ga wakaru you ni
Chikara ippai kagayakeru hi o
Kono machi de mukaetai

Gaien no sakura wa sakimidare
Kono koro ni naru to itsudemo
Shinkansen no hoomu ni maitta
Mienai hanafubuki omoidasu
Marude shichigosan no toki no you ni
Gikochinai suutsu no sugata mo
Ima de wa warito niau nda
Nekutai mo umaku eraberu

Dousoukai no annaijou
Kesseki ni maru o tsuketa
"Genki ka dou ka shinpai desu" to
Tegami o kureru minna ni

Tooku tooku hanarete ite mo
Boku no koto ga wakaru you ni
Chikara ippai kagayakeru hi o
Kono machi de mukaetai

Itsudemo kaette kureba ii to
Mayonaka no koushuu denwa de
Iwareta toki egao ni natte
Ima made yatte koreta yo

Donna ni takai tawaa kara mo
Mienai boku no furusato
Nakushicha dame na koto o
Itsudemo mune ni dakishimete iru kara

Tooku tooku hanareta machi de
Genki ni kurasete irun da
Daiji na no wa
Kawatteku koto
Kawarazu ni iru koto

Dousoukai no annaijou
Kesseki ni maru o tsuketa
Dare yori mo ima wa minna no kao
Mitai kimochi de iru kedo

Tooku tooku hanarete ite mo
Boku no koto ga wakaru you ni
Chikara ippai kagayakeru hi o
Kono machi de mukaetai

Boku no yume o kanaeru basho wa
Kono machi to kimeta kara
