Lyric

I'm Home, Mount Tsukuba.

Kato Rihona

とんでもないとこに来ちゃった... 引越しの車から見えた終わることのない田園風景

「いい景色だろ」って父を 遮るように目を閉じていた イヤホンの音量上げた

草木の匂い 風の音 全部がダサいって思った 目に入るもの見て見ぬ振りした

息が詰まるような街並み 縦横無尽の交差点と四角い空に憧れ

エクスプレス降りて広がる光とノイズ キラキラしてた

田舎に戻る電車が ホント あれほど嫌だったのにな

つくば山 君はいつも おかえりって待ってる あんなに避けてた場所が恋しくなった

変だな 変わりたくてこのまちを出たのに 変わらない場所にこころが還っていく

片道の冒険じゃ疲れちゃうから たまに引き返して わたしを取り戻させて

混み合うコーヒー屋のレジ お気に入りドリンク fat 抜いて カップにニコちゃん描いてもらった

近くて遠い東京だ 全国展開のチェーン店なのに 都会のフレイバーがした

早く抜け出したくて もがくわたしは今よりずっと

自分らしくて真っ直ぐ なんか羨ましくなるほどに

つくば山 ただいまって言えば 力抜けて わたしをわたしに導くあぜ道だ

変だな 変わりたくてこのまちを出たのに 変わらない場所にこころが還っていく

背伸びしたわたしよりさらに高く ずっと未来まで わたしを守ってくれた

親がくれたスクールバック おねえちゃんにもらった長いスカート

全部が懐かしい思い出 ひとり泣いた日も 笑った日も 君がいてくれてありがとう

1 番に見つけてね 埋もれそうなわたしを

つくば山 君はいつもおかえりって待ってる あんなに避けてた場所が恋しくなった

変だな 変わりたくてこのまちを出たのに変わらない場所にこころが還っていく

片道の冒険じゃ疲れちゃうからたまに引き返して わたしを取り戻させて

ずっと未来までわたしを守っていてね

    I'm Home, Mount Tsukuba.

    Kato Rihona

"My hometown mountain always says, 'Welcome home.' It always finds me first."
A refreshing summer song from a popular voice actor - dedicated to everyone chasing their dreams with their hometown in their heart.

Born in Ibaraki Prefecture, Kato Rihona is an actor, voice actor, singer, TV personality, and radio host.
Since high school, she commuted by train from Ibaraki to Tokyo to pursue her career in the entertainment world. Her mother would see her off in the morning, and her father would pick her up at the station at night. In the midst of those days, returning home always brought her a sense of comfort. That feeling was captured last year in her solo song "Furusato" (My Hometown), written and produced by fellow Ibaraki native and musician Mashiko Tatsuro.

Now comes the follow-up: "Tadaima, Tsukuba-san." (I'm Home, Mount Tsukuba.) - the second installment produced by Mashiko-san, once again embracing the theme of "home".
Back in junior high, she once snuck off to Akihabara without telling her parents. The entire city glowed with excitement, and the train ride back to the countryside felt unbearable. She never thought the rice fields were "beautiful scenery" - to her, it all just seemed uncool.
But now, as an adult, when she sees Mount Tsukuba through the train window on her way home, it feels like it's whispering, "Welcome home".

This is a song of encouragement for everyone who has left their hometown to strive in the big city.
Set to a bright and summery melody, it's a perfect anthem for festivals and live events.
