A beautiful rain of cherry blossoms.
There isn’t a single fallen cherry blossom
that makes no contribution.”
一場美麗的櫻花雨。
沒有一片飄落的櫻花
是沒有貢獻的。

Sakura - Ikimono-gakari
Cherry blossoms, flutter, drift down, fall
I held tightly the tip of my swaying longing
That dream you and I wished for in spring—
It’s still visible to this day,
as cherry blossoms scatter
What I saw from the train window
was the shadow of some time long ago
The spring bridge we walked together
When graduation finally came,
you left your hometown
Searching for that day along the river
that was turning beautiful
We chose our own paths,
and the two of us ended spring
The bright blooming tomorrow (the future)
makes me feel impatient
This year too, cherry blossoms reflect in
the window of the Odakyu Line
And your voice reaches my heart again,
I can hear it
Cherry blossoms, flutter, drift down, fall
I held tightly the tip of
my swaying longing
That dream you and
I wished for in spring—
It’s still visible to this day,
as cherry blossoms scatter
On the letter I started to write,
I wrote: “I’m doing fine”
But that little lie—
someone like you would surely see through it
This ever-circling town also accepts spring
And every year,
that flower opens again from its buds
I’ll get through the days without you,
and I’m becoming an adult too
Will I end up forgetting everything like this?
“I really loved you,”
I reach out toward the cherry blossoms
Now this feeling is being
gently wrapped in spring
Cherry blossoms, flutter, drift down,
I drew them close and
held tightly the trembling longing
The strong words you gave me
Still remain in my chest—
cherry blossoms drift on
Cherry blossoms, flutter, drift down, fall
In a faraway spring,
the days I dreamed of
Will disappear into the sky
Cherry blossoms, flutter, drift down, fall
I start walking beyond the spring ahead
Stronger than ever is this dream—
what I swore to in spring with you
Held close to my chest,
cherry blossoms scatter
櫻花 悠悠飄落 輕輕落下
緊抱著 搖曳不安的思念之劍
與你 曾在春天許下的那個夢
至今仍清晰可見 櫻花再度飄散
從電車中看見的 是某天的回憶幻影
兩人曾走過的 春天那座大橋
畢業的時候來臨 你離開了故鄉
在染色的河畔 尋找那天的你
各自選擇了道路 兩人便在春天的終點分離
綻放的明天（未來）讓我心急不已
今年也有櫻花 映在小田急線的窗上
你的聲音 仍在我心底聽見
櫻花 悠悠飄落 輕輕落下
緊抱著 搖曳不安的思念之劍
與你 曾在春天許下的那個夢
至今仍清晰可見 櫻花再度飄散
我寫到一半的信上 寫著「我會好好活著」
那小小的謊言 也被你看穿了吧
這座正繞轉著的街道 也終於學會接受春天
今年那花也再次打開 小小的花苞
跨過沒有你的日子 我也正在變得成熟
就這樣 會把一切都遺忘嗎？
「我是真的很喜歡你啊」 伸手去觸碰櫻花
這份思念 如今也被春天溫柔包住
櫻花 悠悠飄落 落下飄走
我緊緊抱著 那搖曳不安的思念之劍
你曾給我的 堅強的那句話
至今仍留在我胸口 櫻花正緩緩飄遠
櫻花 悠悠飄落 輕輕落下
抱住那顫動的思念之劍
在遙遠的春天裡 夢見過的那些日子
正向天空消失不見
櫻花 悠悠飄落 輕輕落下
朝向春天的彼方 邁步前行
與你在春天立誓的這個夢 更加堅定
緊抱在胸口 櫻花飄散
