Tegomasu/Tegomass is one of the Johnny’s group with better voices. Too bad Tegomass is just a temporary group. Tanabata Matsuri is a lively song.
Tanabata Matsuri
Tokyo no sora niwa hoshi ga nain datte ne
Kimi kara no tegami ni wa sou kaite atta kedo
Kocchi wa aikawarazu sa nanimo kawarinai
Kono jiki ni naru to matsuri no junbi sa
Eki mae no shoutengai no sasa kazari
Kimi mo shitteru keshiki sa
Kodomo tachi wa hashaide hashiri mawaru
Ano koro to kawaranai yo
Tanabata matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboete iru kana futari de nagameta
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Kaeru no naku wadachi wo aruite
Sasa wo tori ni itta ne oboete iru?
Kimi wa itsumo aoiro no tanzaku
Eranda koto oboete iru?
Tanabata matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboete iru kana futari de nagameta
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Ganbari sugiru no ga kimi dakedo sa
Tama niwa tachidomatte mitara
Mukashi tanzaku ni kaita “negai” wo
Isshou ni omoidasou yo
Tanabata matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboete iru kana futari de nagameta
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Lalala…
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
English translation:
“There are no stars in Tokyo’s sky”
That’s what you’d written in your letter
But here it is the same as always, nothing has changed
When it gets to this time of year, we prepare for the festival
The shopping street in front of the station displays bamboo twigs
It’s a scene that you know as well
Kids are running around excitedly
It hasn’t changed from how it used to be
On nights when the Tanabata festival draws near
I remember how we walked along together
I wonder if you remember how we gazed at the sky together
Come and meet me in that sky full of stars
We walked along the path of the croaking frogs
And we went to get some bamboo, right? Do you remember?
You always chose the light blue paper
To write your wish on. Do you remember?
On nights when the Tanabata festival draws near
I remember how we walked along together
I wonder if you remember how we gazed at the sky together
Come and meet me in that sky full of stars
Trying too hard is the way that you are
But sometimes you should try pausing
The “wishes” we wrote long ago on the strips of paper
Let’s remember them together
On nights when the Tanabata festival draws near
I remember how we walked along together
I wonder if you remember how we gazed at the sky together
Come and meet me in that sky full of stars
Lalala…
Come and meet me in the sky full of stars
Come and meet me in the sky full of stars
