Ghost City Tokyo

By: Ayase

Cover featuring Akito, Toya, and KAITO

"This song is written from the feelings I had when I came to Tokyo, starting music, bearing hopes and dreams."


The lights of the brilliant shining city
Shine down on me in stark contrast
They mix with the neon colours changing and
Escaping from the spaces between those buildings
I trade my time and this world
And sink into the night

I make my way home on the last train,
And the reflection I see in the glass windows is
Not the me that I dreamt of
It’s a person who looks like he’s about to start crying
A person alone in the darkness, a person who is simply lost
A sorrowful person

It’s fine, someday it will all be fine
How many days I’ve thought so, that have piled up on each other
But even today, the me who fades into the Tokyo scenery all alone
Seems like a ghost

Even as I grow used to losing
I just need that wish I had forgotten
When I remembered it
The tears fell
Simply because this city is
Way too dazzling

It’s harsh, I laugh while sighing
Amidst these decadent days
Thoughts of that day flash back in my mind
By the time I realise it, my Logic’s open till the morning
Time and time again, putting my words to music

Even as I grow used to losing
I just need those days I had forgotten
But even so, even before that
That I can even think of them is
Because you’re here

Hey
In such a lonely city
Hey...

The lights of the brilliant shining city
Shine down on me in stark contrast
In front of that building, I stretch out my hand
Tracing the view I dreamt of that day
I trade my time and this world
And call for tomorrow

Even as I grow used to losing
These important feelings that I haven't lost -
When I held them close to myself,
I think my tears fell suddenly
Because I still want to
Keep living in this city

Oooh woah ah
Doo to do to do do
Doo to do to do do, ah
Doo to do to do do, doo to do to do do

I wonder if it’s the same for you
