何年ぶりだって 変わんない

当たり前みたいに 遊んで

互いのことは 誰より

分かるから

My Friend Forever (wow wow)

―――友達さ

Ah

雨降りでも びしょ濡れになって騒いでた

寝込んだって 叱られたって

Ah

ダメなときも 笑えば 晴れ間がのぞいて (wow)

なんでかな 君の前では こんなにも自由になれるよ

きらりと 伝う雫には 青空 浮かんでた

なんでかな 君の前では 僕も同じ 笑顔になれるよ

きらりと 瞬き合って 手を振る またね、と

My friend

Nannen buri datte kawannai

Atarimae mitai ni asonde

Tagai no koto wa dare yori

Wakaru kara

My Friend Forever (wow wow)

―――Tomodachi sa

Ah

Amefuri demo bishonure ni natte sawaideta

Nekondatte shikarare tatte

Ah

Dame na toki mo waraeba harema ga nozoite (wow)

Nande ka na kimi no mae de wa konnani mo jiyū ni nareru yo

Kirari to tsutau shizuku ni wa aosora ukandeta

Nande ka na kimi no mae de wa boku mo onaji egao ni nareru yo

Kirari to mabataki atte te wo furu mata ne、to

My Friend

How many years is it? Still the same

Hanging out like usual

That’s because

We understand one another better than the rest

My Friend Forever (wow wow)

―― A friend is

Ah

Making a fuss at getting drenched despite raining

Getting scolded for fallen asleep

Ah

Smile when it’s impossible and it’ll be clear weather (wow)

I wonder why, I can be this free in front of you

At the streaming droplets, the blue sky floated beamingly

Somehow, I can smile the same in front of you

Gleamingly gazing, waving hands and “see you again”

My Friend

My Friend Forever (wow wow)

―――友達さ

Ah

雨降りでも びしょ濡れになって騒いでた

寝込んだって 叱られたって

Ah

ダメなときも 笑えば 晴れ間がのぞいて (wow)

なんでかな 君の前では こんなにも自由になれるよ

きらりと 伝う雫には 青空 浮かんでた

なんでかな 君の前では 僕も同じ 笑顔になれるよ

きらりと 瞬き合って 手を振る またね、と

My friend

散々ぶつかって 離れて

みんなに 心配かけたって

目が合えば ふと はにかむ 馴れ合いで

何にも 約束をしないまま

ぜんぜん会わなくなったっけ

だけど いつでも 心の片隅に

(もう) 君がいた

Ah

歌にもならない 取り留めない思い出が (思い出が)

雨になって 降り注ぐんだ

Ah

水たまり散らかした2人 追いかけて (wow)

なんでかな 君と行った場所 鮮明に思い出せるよ

きらりと 目を引くような 景色じゃないけど

なんでかな 君と一緒なら モノクロがカラーに見えるよ

きらりと 眩い絆 レンズに残ってる

Memory

(La la la la...)

あの道も あの虹も 飽きるほど 越えて

毎日が 冒険の連続だったんだ

新しい日常に 溶け込んでいたって

たまには 帰りたいなぁ

なんでかな 君の前では こんなにも自由になれるよ

きらりと 伝う雫には 青空 浮かんでた

なんでかな 君の前では 僕も同じ 笑顔になれるよ

きらりと 瞬き合って 手を振る またね、と

My friend (oh)

My Friend (Oh)

―――Tomodachi sa

How many years is it? Still the same

Hanging out like usual

That’s because

We understand one another better than the rest

My Friend Forever (wow wow)

―― A friend is

Ah

Making a fuss at getting drenched despite raining

Getting scolded for fallen asleep

Ah

Smile when it’s impossible and it’ll be clear weather (wow)

I wonder why, I can be this free in front of you

At the streaming droplets, the blue sky floated beamingly

Somehow, I can smile the same in front of you

Gleamingly gazing, waving hands and “see you again”

My Friend

Clashing and being apart

Made everyone worried

Unexpectedly when eyes meet, will be shy in collusion

Without any promises

We no longer met

But in the corner of my heart, always

(Already) You were there

Ah

Memories that’s unsaved, not even in the song (memories)

Becoming rain and falls

Ah

Run after the pair whom scattered the puddle (wow)

I wonder why, I can recall the place I went with you clearly

Gleamingly, although not an eye-catching scenery

Somehow when I’m with you, monochrome can be seen in colour

Sensational bonds beamingly remain in the lens

As memory

(La la la la...)

Going beyond the path, the rainbow as much as I can

Everyday was a series of adventure

It dissolved into a new everyday life

But I want to return once in a while

I wonder why, I can be this free in front of you

At the streaming droplets, the blue sky floated beamingly

Somehow, I can smile the same in front of you

Gleamingly gazing, waving hands and “see you again”

My Friend (Oh)

――Because we’re friends
