JAPANESE LYRICS / ROMAJI / ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

こんなにも汚れた街に 生まれ落ちるのは konna ni mo yogoreta machi ni   umare ochiru no wa To be born in this so dirty city 
 どのくらい前からすでに 決まってたのかな dono kurai mae kara sude ni  kimatteta no kana I wonder how long ago has it been decided already なんでもあるように見える 何もない街で nandemo aru you ni mieru   nani mo nai machi de The city where it seems that it has everything but yet has nothing 
どうやって 息を吸えばいい ずっとわからない dou yatte iki wo sueba ii   zutto wakaranai How do I breath  I have never known



スクランブル交差点は 今日も人波で sukuranburu kousaten wa kyou mo hitonami de In the scramble crossing, it’s crowded today too 僕の心の奥底の 寂しさをうつす boku no kokoro no oku soku no samishisa wo utsusu  It reflects the loneliness that’s from the bottom of my heart
 センター街の真ん中で 笑う人たちに sentaa-gai no mannaka de warau hito tachi ni The people who are laughing in the middle of center street
 愛想笑いすらできずに うつむいたままで aisou warai sura dekizu ni   utsumuita mama de 
I can’t even give them fake smiles, [I could only] hang my head in shame


そうだこの世界 きっとニセモノだ sou da kono sekai   kitto nisemono da That’s right  This world is definitely fake 
 どうやったって胸が 痛みだす dou yattatte mune ga  itami dasu Whatever I do, my heart hurts 
 カムパネルラには まだ会えないし camupanerura ni wa   mada aenai shi I still can’t meet Campanella 
 でもまだ歩いて demo mada aruite But I still walk 



雨ニモマケズニ ソシテ 風ニモマケズニ ame ni mo makezu ni  soshite  kaze ni mo makezu ni Strong even in the rain and strong even in the wind 
 サウイウ ヒトニナリタイ sou iu hito ni naritai I want to become a person like that 
僕は僕のままでいたいのに boku wa boku no mama de itai noni Even though I want to be the be myself 
 お願い教えて この道の先にあるものを onegai oshiete  kono michi no saki ni aru mono wo Please tell me    What are the things that this path has ahead
 いつか きっと itsuka  kitto Someday   Definitely 


終わりのない プレリュードを owari no nai pureryuudo wo I keep writing a 書き続けている kaki tsuzuiteiru Prelude without an end イーハトーブの場所はまだ iihatoobu no basho wa mada Ihatovo’s location is still
 はっきりしないまま hakkiri shinai mama being vague

グスコーブドリに 会いたい gusukou budori ni aitai I want to meet Guskou Budori
 そう 願っているけど sou negatteiru kedo Yeah, I’m wishing 
 クラムボンの笑い声も 喧騒に消えた kuramubon no warai koe mo  kensou ni kieta But Clammbon’s laughter disappeared in the noise 



この物語いっそ閉じてしまう kono monogatari isso tojite shimau Let’s just close up this tale 
 そんなことだってできるけど sonna koto datte dekiru kedo I can do that but
 ここまで書いた 滲んだ文字を koko made kaita  nijinda moji wo I failed to throw the blurred characters
 また捨て損なった mata sute sokonatta that I wrote until now again


雨ニモマケズニ ソシテ 風ニモマケズニ ame ni mo makezu ni  soshite  kaze ni mo makezu ni Strong even in the rain and strong even in the wind 
 サウイウ ヒトニナリタイ sou iu hito ni naritai I want to become a person like that 
まっすぐ世界を見ていたいから massugu sekai wo miteitai kara I want to see a straightforward world 
 一人のままでも 僕は僕を信じていくよ hitori no mama demo  boku wa boku wo shinjiteiku yo So even if I’m alone, I will believe in myself 
いつか きっと itsuka kitto 
 Someday   Definitely

そうだこの世界 きっとニセモノだ sou da kono sekai  kitto nisemono da That’s right  This world is definitely fake 
 どうやったって胸が 痛みだす dou yattatte mune ga itami dasu Whatever I do, my heart hurts 
 カムパネルラには まだ会えないし camupanerura ni wa mada aenai shi I still can’t meet Campanella 
でもまだ歩いて 誰にも demo mada aruite  dare ni mo But I still walk   [I won’t lose*] not to anyone 



雨ニモマケズニ ソシテ 風ニモマケズニ ame ni mo makezu ni   soshite   kaze ni mo makezu ni Strong in the rain and strong even in the wind 
 サウイウ ヒトニナリタイ sou iu hito ni naritai I want to become a person like that 
 僕は僕のままでいたいのに boku wa boku no mama de itai noni Even though I want to be myself 
お願い教えて この道の先にあるものを onegai oshiete   kono michi no saki ni aru mono wo Please tell me     What are the things that this path has ahead
 いつか きっと itsuka  kitto Someday   Definitely

いつか いつか きっと itsuka  itsuka   kitto Someday   Someday   Definitely

*It didn’t mention that at all but it only said “to anyone” but if you connect that to the next part it says literally “I won’t lose to the rain” so I just thought it might be that.

P.S. this title is based on Miyazawa Kenji’s poem, “Strong in the Rain” and the song has a lot of words that appeared in Miyazawa Kenji’s poems and his world.

Campanella: In italian it means a ‘bell’. It’s the name of the protagonist’s, Giovanni, friend. They both appear in Miyazawa Kenji’s story, ‘Night on the Galactic Railroad’.

Ihatovo: It is an ideal land in Miyazawa Kenji’s world. Miyazawa Kenji used his hometown, Iwate [they used to call it Ihate before] and -ovo [in Esperanto], so it turned into Ihatovo.

Guskou Burdori: Main character in Miyazawa Kenji’s story, ‘The Life of Guskou Budori’.

Clammbon: Something that appears in Miyazawa Kenji’s story, ‘Yamanashi’. Miyazawa Kenji didn’t mention what Clammbon was. As for the lyrics, Itou Kashitarou wrote “But Clammbon’s laugh disappeared through the noise [of the city]” so you may say that Clammbon was a human. But in Yamanashi, there were three crab brothers and they keep saying that “Clammbon laughed” “Clammbon jumped and laughed” and they also say “Clammbon died” “Clammbon was killed”.

Kashitaro “Get Well Soon” Project!

Hello! If you haven’t heard, Kashitaro will be having surgery on the nodules on his vocal cords. He won’t be able to speak for 3 months after surgery, and will have to go through rehabilitation for an additional 3 months after, which will total, at the very least, 6 months of break.

He said he waited until now to talk about it because he didn’t want to worry us.

It’s so Kashitaro-like of him, to put us first. He’s so selfless. But besides that, he’s so strong and resilient. He’s going through a rough time, but he’s determined to get back to what he loves to do most in the world. I know we’ll wait for him. I want to be able to show him that we care for him as much as he cares for us.

Me and another person on Twitter are organizing a get well soon project. It’ll be a collection of art, messages, and more, to send to him to show him our love.

Right now, we’re getting a general idea of how many people are interested in participating! If you can reblog this post, it would be greatly appreciated! You can also vote on the Twitter poll if you have an account, it’s pinned to my account at @/_ryoseirui_! (Remove the /!)

In about a week or so, we will open up applications (it will be in both English and Japanese, since I have quite a few Japanese followers on Twitter)! We’ll also have a general timeline of the deadline and such by that time.

Please spread the word if you can!

I really hope Kashitaro can see this video, filled with the love and support we have for him. ♥︎
