Lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto, (ex-Happy End)
Music composed by Ichizo Seo,
Arranged by Makoto Matsushita (ex-AB's)
(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
Living in the city. City of my life
Living in the city. City of my life
You're a kind man
Your cool gaze in the shadows of the shining morning sun
Living in the city. City of my life
Living in the city. City of my life
We've finally found each other
Refreshing like an emerald breeze
Words of love swaying from you
I am moving, moving with my heart
Like drifting and flowing through sparkling clouds
Receive me, my love
Receive me, my love
Living in the city. City of my life
Living in the city City of my life
I'm no longer lost in you
When we share our sadness, it's already love
Living in the city. City of my life
Living in the city City of my life
The beauty of love that only a city dweller can understand
I am the blue sky that I'm grasping
Flowing, like the comfort of flowing on air currents
In tune with the beat of our rising hearts
Catch me, my love hah
Catch me, my love
