"Dear father, mother. I decided to live with him in Tokyo.
I know very much that it is a foolish thing to do
But I am no longer a child. I can think for myself.
I'm sorry.. Please forgive my last selfishness.

The person that I love is my everything right now.
Because you were there, I am able to be myself.
The ticket to Tokyo that you gave to me that day
And your future dreams that you revealed to me were
"Will you leave this town and live with me in Tokyo?"

Even though I hesitated a bit, I was very happy.
I wasn't worried at all, because I knew I would be with the one I love.
Even though there would be hard times and lonely times
I threw away my family to depend on. Along with stupid weakness and regret and everything,
For your new life and dream.
Poverty sinks into me but because you are here
Even the time that I wait for you is filled with happiness
The food that you like that I cooked while pouring my love for you into it(Direct translation: While putting my heart into it)
I want to see your happy face... I want to see it.

"I'm finally used to living in Tokyo.
He is working very hard until late at night.
But I think that because of this, I am not very happy lately.
Even if I ask him(?>>; ), he just shows me a tired smile
He won't answer me. I'm very worried.

"I'm home"

Your very kind voice
When things were hard we always supported each other.
No matter how unlucky we were we were fine.
It's not that our love died, it's just that our feelings are looking the other way.
The first night you were torn by society and cried
You can't look straight forward and you are just crying
Poverty seeps into us. The two hold hands
And are staring at an off-season firecracker(The handheld ones. They are legal in Japan and are sold in convenience stores)
Once this tip falls, and our regrets disappear
We will close our eyes and fall into the ocean... Together.
Our hands are parted and you and I become nothing.

"The 13 months that I spent with you. There were many things that happened.
I know very well because we were together. You tried too hard. You're tired now, right?
It's okay now, I will stay with you forever. I'm sorry father, mother.
I can't live without him. I'm sorry for making you worry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
