Departure Train (feat. nasa-club)

This is an original love ballad featuring Japanese jazz singer Yoshikawa Misako, supported by the jazz unit nasa-club.
Beginning with the memorable lyrics, "Because this is truly goodbye, I won't say goodbye," the song depicts the sadness of leaving despite love.
The lyrics and music were written by Nakasone Shimei.
The jazz unit nasa-club is made up of saxophonist Nasa and synthesizer and DAW specialist Kase Wataru (=Nakasone Shimei).

(Verse 1)
Because this is truly goodbye, I won't say goodbye.
I gaze at you from the train window with a fake smile.
The departure bell announces our departure.
You, kindhearted, follow me with an innocent smile, unaware of anything.

I love you, I love you.
But from here on, we'll take different paths.
I love you, I love you.
I'll never forget the miracle of our meeting.
That's why we'll surely meet again.

(Verse 2)
Because this is a scene from my memories, I whisper "thank you."
The train whistle sounds, carrying dreams of a future yet to be seen.
The lights of a distant city flicker.
Dissolving into the twilight.
I remember your gestures.
I hope you'll always stay the same.

I love you, I love you.
But from here on, we'll take different paths.
I love you, I love you.
I'll never forget the miracle of our meeting.
That's why we'll surely meet again.
