The nostalgic feel of the sun
Glass-like water droplets dripping from the bright green leaves
The calm quiet vibe this foreign sundown town brings
Two girls riding on bikes together
Soft golden ribbons that make them both match
Laughing, chatting, having fun
Creating memories that will soon turn into nostalgia
The old run down traditional homes that cover this foreign village
Small gardens that bloom with flowers
The warm onsens that offer a relaxing feeling
The sea is near this small village
As the oceanic air gently gusts through me
I feel a calm breeze through the air
As the sun sets, I still hear the cicadas chirping
The friends are far long home
And the lights to the kominkas go dark
