Lyrics[edit]

漢字

オレンジに重なる 川沿いに並ぶ影
手書きのホームベースに向き合い投げ合った
沈んでく太陽とアスファルトの匂いがゲームセットの合図
最後の一球を投げた

薄暗い空に溶けて混じる必殺の消える魔球なのにさ
簡単に捕られた

夕焼け小焼け 一緒に今日も帰ろう
お腹を空かせて急ぎ足で
気づいたら家まで競走になって追う後ろ姿
言い合う「おかえり」「ただいま」いつも通り
なんか変だって笑い転げた
きっとまた明日もこんな風に横で笑っていてくれるかな

2人のキャッチボール

それから時は経ち 夕暮れは曇り空
気づけば怖くなってた 期待されるのが
たった一つもやり切れない そんな自分のことが嫌いだった
ゲームセット寸前 俯いた先にあった

心残りなんて数えられないけれど
新しい居場所と帰り道が出来た

夕焼け小焼け 一緒に今日も帰ろう
歩幅を揃えて笑い合って
さよならは要らない みんなの行き先も同じだから

嗚呼

本当の気持ちを隠していた
後悔も未練もやっぱりあるけど
前向け!前向け!って叫ぶんだ 熱を帯びた心が

ツーアウトから輝くストーリーと 今の自分なりに向き合った
土砂降りの未来も傘は必要ないさ 夢を見ることに資格はないから

夕焼け小焼け 一緒に今日も帰ろう
明日はきっと晴天だから向き合って手書きの未来と心でキャッチボールしよう
何かがあっても大丈夫 怖くないよ
あの日の気持ちを思い出すから
追いかけるのはもうやめにしたんだ その後ろ姿に並ぶため
さよなら弱虫

English

Orangish shadows lining up on the riverbank
Facing each other from a hand-drawn home base, pitching at each other
The sun setting and the smell of asphalt cued the game is set
I threw one last pitch

It was a miracle ball that melts and blends with the dim sky and disappears,
but it was simply caught

Sunset sky, dusk sky[2] Let's go home together again today
With our stomachs empty and in a hurry
The next thing I'll know, we're racing home and I'm chasing from someone behind
Exchanging "I'm back" and "Welcome home" like usual
Rolling out laughing at how weird it was
You'll surely smile on the side like this again tomorrow

Two people catch

From there time has passed, and the dusk sky was cloudy
I found myself afraid of what was expected of me
I can't do any single thing, that's what I hated about myself
Just as the game was set, I was downcast

I can't count how many regrets I've had,
but I've found a new place to be and a way home

Sunset sky, dusk sky Let's go home together again today
Keeping our stride while we laugh with each other
A farewell isn't needed, as everyone's routes are just the same

Ah...

I've been hiding my true feelings
There were still regrets and reluctances, but
"Face forward! Face forward!" shouts my feverish heart

A story shone from a two out and I faced it on my own
No need for an umbrella for a future downpour, because you don't need to be entitled to dream

Sunset sky, dusk sky Let's go home together again today
Tomorrow will certainly be sunny, so let's face each other from our hand-drawn future and our hearts and play catch
It's okay even if something happens, I'm not afraid anymore
It reminds me of what I felt that day
I've already quitted catching up, so that I can get in line from behind
Farewell to that coward

Notes

  1. Similar to Seiten no Sinker, the Yuukei in the title is a pun off 夕景 which means "evening, dusk" though the kanji for kei has been replaced with 敬 which means "reverence, respect." I've left it untranslated to the pun in case any of you can think of one referencing it!
  2. Allusion to the Japanese children song 夕焼け小焼け (Yuuyake koyake), typically played around a city on loud speakers to signal that school has finished for the day and students are dismissed. Literally "Sunset sky, dusk sky."
