Lyric

Watching New Year’s Eve on TV

Countdown comes so suddenly

Going out for first shrine visit with the family

Just another way to spend the year’s end and start

22nd time the pattern’s the same

So many things left undone

“I’ll do better this year” — I’m tired of saying

Life laughs at me quietly

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

Through the endless flow of time

Through the sadness, the sun will rise again

Watching New Year’s Eve on TV

Countdown comes and it’s over before I know

This time I go to the shrine with him

Just another way to spend the year’s end and start

This time is a little different

I did the things I wanted to

I won’t say “this year for sure” anymore

Life smiles quietly at me

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

Through the endless flow of time

Through the joy, the sun will rise again

Across the islands carrying a hundred million dreams

A single ray of light breaks through

This moment, the one I stayed up the latest

Gradually lights the way, little by little

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

Through the endless flow of time

Even if we just wait, the sun will rise again

I don’t draw a love fortune today

Even the omikuji scares me

Just being together with you

Is enough to make me happy

Twenty years ago, we came here together (I don’t remember)

Welcoming the year at this shrine again

Ringing the bells, praying with him

Just another way to spend the year’s end and start

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

The sun will rise again, the sun will rise again

Through the endless flow of time

In the shadow of us two, the sun will rise again
