中距離恋愛/Medium-Distance Relationship
music: Reika / lyrics: Kouki
Kanji
ガタンゴトン小田急電車 窓辺は箱根岬
しばしお待ちを愛しき人
カランコロン待ち合わせは華やぐハチ公前
あなたと出かけましょう
飛んで行こう東京タワー
わたし始めてみました「中距離恋愛」
うれしたのし東京小町
全て輝いて見えた
惚れて腫れて恋に溺れて
踊る心 浮かれ足
優しさ上手と騙され上手
バタンゴロン眠る前にこれだけ決めませんか
明日は何をしましょう
そうだインドアでいよう
なにかと都合いいのね「中距離恋愛」
うれしたのし東京小町
全て輝いて見えた
惚れて腫れて恋に溺れて
踊る心 浮かれ足
優しさ上手と騙され上手
絶えず渋滞のやさぐれ明治通りは
わたしを引き止めてくれる
どうか…どうか…聞いて下さい
あなたの傍にいたいの
都会暮らしは不安ですが
故郷捨てていいですか
なれずじまい東京小町
冬と春の境目ね
何度あなたに会いに来れば…
こぼす涙 みだれ髪
近そうで…遠すぎた…東京

Clank-clank, the train from Odakyuu1 Outside the window is the shore of Hakone2
My beloved has been waiting
Clunk-clunk, we’re meeting in front of the pretty statue of Hachiko3
And then I’ll go out with you
Let’s fly to the Tokyo Tower4
Where I decided to start this “medium-distance relationship”5
Happy and fun, a beauty from Tokyo
Everything seemed to shine
I’m falling and drowning in a swelling love
My heart dances My feet are floating
You treat me well and cheat me well
Thunk-clunk, Before you sleep, can you just decide this:
What should we do tomorrow?
Alright then, let’s stay indoors
Anything is fine in a “medium-distance relationship”
Happy and fun, a beauty from Tokyo
Everything seemed to shine
I’m falling and drowning in a swelling love
My heart dances My feet are floating
You treat me well and you cheat me well
Running through Meiji Street6, which is always crowded,
You stopped me
Please… please… please listen
I want to be with you
Living in the city makes me nervous, but
Can you leave your home behind?
She couldn’t, that beauty from Tokyo
It’s like winter trying to love spring
No matter how many times I come to see you…
No matter how many tears Or how mussed my hair
It seemed close enough… But it was too far… Tokyo
1: This refers to the Odakyu Railway System which services to Tokyo.
2: Hakone is a town in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan. To give you an idea, it’s about 83km(52mi) and a 2 hour trip from Hakone to Tokyo.
3: I’m sure a lot of you know the story about Hachiko. Briefly, he was a dog who walked his owner to the train station every morning and waited for him to return home at night. One day the owner passed away before he was able to return home, but Hachiko continued to come wait for him every day. The story is so famous that a statue of Hachiko was erected, and his meeting place has become a popular meeting place for many people!
4: Tokyo Tower is another popular attraction in Tokyo, and it is… a tower. I’m not sure why I footnoted it. I guess to point out that it’s a real thing. It is. It’s a pretty impressive structure, so it’s a popular attraction.
5: This is a “medium-distance relationship” as opposed to a “long-distance relationship.” Chuukyori actually refers to medium-distance races, as opposed to sprints or distance races.
6: Meiji street is Tokyo’s “main street” in the sense that it runs through lots of popular places to shop and eat and all those good things. Think Harajuku, Shibuya, and Shinjuku, and you can probably get an idea of just how crowded it is!
