Lyric

The evening heat is drifting through the town

Yukata sleeves are swaying all around

Goldfish swimming in a plastic bowl

The spirit of the season takes control

Kaki-gori melting on your tongue

Keep on dancing while the night is young

Street food smoke is rising to the sky

Watching as the paper planes fly by

Matsuri bayashi ringing in my ears

Laughing loud and pushing back the years

Hands are clapping to the wooden beat

Moving to the pulse of every street

Taiyo sinking down into the bay

Keep the summer blues so far away

Join the circle let the magic flow

Welcome to the festival of glow

The paper lanterns line the temple gate

No one ever wants to show up late

Chocobana sweet upon the lips

Magic in the way the dancer dips

Taiko thunder rolling through the air

Flowers tucked inside your braided hair

Wishes written on a bamboo tree

Exactly who we always meant to be

Skyline glowing in a thousand shades

Memory that never really fades

Sparklers burning in a tiny hand

Best celebration in the land

Matsuri bayashi ringing in my ears

Laughing loud and pushing back the years

Hands are clapping to the wooden beat

Moving to the pulse of every street

Taiyo sinking down into the bay

Keep the summer blues so far away

Join the circle let the magic flow

Welcome to the festival of glow
