Motokare to Onaji Kousui no Hito

香水が呼ぶナミダ

Liner Notes

In the crowded train, a soft, nostalgic scent drifted by. I turned around, a stranger. But the same perfume as you. My heart leapt until it hurt, and I couldn't breathe. I got off at the next station, even though it wasn't my stop. I sat on the platform bench and caught my breath. It's been months already, yet one scent shakes me this much. Memory is carved into the senses. Even thinking I'd forgotten, my body remembers. There must be many people in town wearing the same perfume. Will I feel this way every time? Will a day come when I get used to it? The next train arrives. I stand up and blend into the crowd again. This time I held my breath as I boarded. Each time that scent comes, your face surfaces. The past won't disappear.

Lyrics (Japanese)

ふいにあのにおいがあの夜を連れてくる満員電車のなかでふわりとなつかしいにおいふりかえると知らないひとでもきみと同じ香水心臓が痛いほど跳ねた息ができなくなる次の駅でおりてしまったまだ目的地じゃないのにホームのベンチで呼吸をととのえるもう何ヶ月もたつのに匂いひとつで揺れてしまう忘れたつもりでもからだがおぼえてるこの香水嗅ぐたびに過去にひきもどされてく街中におなじ香水つけてる人は何人もいるそのたびにこうなるのかいつかなれる日がくるのつぎの電車がくる立ちあがるまた人混みにまぎれる今度は息をとめて乗りこんだもう何ヶ月もたつのに匂いひとつで揺れてしまう忘れたつもりでもからだがおぼえてるあの香りがするたびにきみの顔がうかんでくるだれかの香水におびえて生きるのはつらいいつかなにも感じない日がくるかなそれはさみしいことかもしれないもう何ヶ月もたつのに匂いひとつで揺れてしまう忘れたつもりでもからだがおぼえてるあの香りがするたびに過去の欠片がまだここにある

Translation

Suddenly that scent brings back that night In the crowded train a soft, nostalgic scent drifts by I turn around, a stranger but the same perfume as you My heart leaps until it hurts I can't breathe I got off at the next station even though it's not my stop On the platform bench I catch my breath It's been months already yet one scent shakes me Even thinking I'd forgotten my body remembers Each time I smell this perfume I'm pulled back into the past In town, the same perfume many people wear it Will it be like this every time Will a day come when I get used to it The next train arrives I stand up I blend into the crowd again this time holding my breath I got on board It's been months already yet one scent shakes me Even thinking I'd forgotten my body remembers Each time that scent comes your face surfaces Living in fear of someone's perfume is hard Will a day come when I feel nothing at all That might be a lonely thing It's been months already yet one scent shakes me Even thinking I'd forgotten my body remembers Each time that scent comes a fragment of the past is still here
