At 2am, I carried a telescope to the foot of a hill
A radio tied to my belt, it seems like it won’t rain
Two minutes later you came, carrying a lot of baggage
Shall we start stargazing, searching for a comet
I did my best not to be swallowed by the deep darkness
That day I tried to hold your trembling hand
Trying to see something invisible, I peered into the telescope
Many voices were born, cutting through the silence
Even though tomorrow called us, we barely responded
We were chasing the comet called “now”
When I realized, I was always searching for something
The definition of happiness, a place to put sadness
From the time I was born until the time I die, I’m always searching
So, let’s start stargazing, searching for a comet
I remember everything I’ve found so far
Even the pain of not being able to hold your trembling hand
Trying to learn something unknown, I looked into the telescope
I searched for a faint light that could illuminate the darkness,
and I still remember the pain I found.
I’m still chasing the comet called “now” all by myself.
As I grew taller, the things I wanted to say increased.
Letters without addresses piled up so much that they almost collapsed.
I’m doing well, and I don’t have many worries.
But I still remember one thing.
I was hit by an unexpected rain, and I felt like I was going to cry.
I couldn’t hold your trembling hand that day.
I overlooked what I could see, and once again I carried my telescope.
I ran through the silence and darkness on my way home.
The pain I learned then still supports me.
I am still chasing the comet called “now” alone.
I want to see you again, and once again
I’ll carry my telescope.
I’ll run to Fuminokiri at 2am just like before.
Shall we start stargazing, even if you don’t come in two minutes.
I’m chasing the comet called “now”
with you.
