Kanade

Lyrics & Music: Takuya Oohashi & Shintarou Tokita
Arrangement: Yuuta Nakano

Hand in hand in front of the ticket gate, there's the usual noise and a new wind
I should have seen you off cheerfully, yet I looked at you without being able to smile well

I hope that the season you grow up in
Doesn't overflow with sad songs
In the end, I wanted to tell you something
So I searched for words to take the place of "goodbye"

Yeah, I thought the duty of leading you by the hand was my mission
But now I understand: The accumulated days
Will guide us now

As the time you grow up increases
I too change
For example, if a song like this is there,
Then we can be connected together, always, at any time

Suddenly, abruptly, the sound of a bell resounds
In a hurry, I let go of your hand, and you leave
In a daze, I called for you to stop, and embraced you
No matter where you go, I'll protect you with my voice

Since the day you appeared before me,
I see everything differently
The morning, lights, tears, your singing voice
You gave me a radiance

I'll put the feelings that I can't control on my voice
And send them to your far away town
For example, if there is a song like this there,
Then we can be connected together, no matter where we are

* Kanade is a name
