“YOI❁HARU”
Composition and lyrics: Kanako Itou & Hassy
Wrapping up my heart in these feelings of happiness
They make my tears overflow, you see
Now that I’ve come to know you
Making tons of mistakes
Running around in every direction
Feeling so sad I feel I might die
But afterwards, we just laugh it all off
That’s what comes from living
That’s what it means to be alive
You were the ones who taught me that
through all of these irreplaceable days
You are the love of my life
Yoi, Haru & Ume
For being alive another day
Truly, thank you so much
Going through every moment at full force
Now that I’ve come to know you
Someday we’ll have to say farewell
and I’ll have to see you off, but
you’ll wait for me when you’re on the other side, right?
Always stay by my side
That’s what comes from living
That’s what it means to be alive
That’s what comes from living
That’s what it means to be alive
You were the ones who taught me that
About everything it means to love
You are the love of my life
Yoi, Haru & Ume
