思った事を書いてみよう。

昔カラオケがめちゃくちゃ流行っていた頃

どんな女の子もこぞってその頃のヒット曲を選曲し
そのアーティストの歌い方を真似て歌っていた。

そんな中、親友を通して知り合ったある子とカラオケに行った時

彼女の選曲は以前からそのアーティストのファンだった私に

否応無しに強烈なインパクトを与え

「この曲をかなり上手に歌い上げる21歳は未だかつて見た事ない！」

と私に思わせた曲がこれである。

スタイルも野宮真貴ばりに良かったので

お察しの通り、私はとあるカラオケＢＯＸで恋に落ちた。

それをさっき急に思い出し、メモがてらに日記を書いています。

as i watched telly vacantly
i had a strange dream
then i realised as i checked my watch
it was seven at night in tokyo

i've been dressing up since morning
just to see you
i want to be loved all night
it's seven at night in tokyo

the restaurant where
we were to meet
had closed and disappeared
i'm so hungry
i could die
i want to see you right away
i want to see you right away

in the end i couln't meet you
i stayed at a hotel alone
the city that never sleeps
it's seven at night in tokyo

had something to eat alone
admired the city from the window
wept till i felt better then slept
nighttime in tokyo is a mysterious thing

in the whole world
i'm the only one
you love
that day you promised me so
i want to see you right away
i want to see you right away

suddenly a gush of wind
comes through the open taxi window
where are you?
it's seven at night in tokyo

i couldn't meet you
one year went by
i myself changed a bit
it's seven at night in tokyo

waiting for the green light
the city hasn't changed
it's a bit quiet today
i want to see you right away
i want to see you right away

as i absently watched telly
i had this strange dream
then i realised as i checked my watch
it was seven at night in tokyo

last night there was a message
from you on my answering machine
call you later, that's all
you said
it's seven at night in tokyo

i think you told me that day
i was the only one on earth
you loved, and i think you
hugged me then but i'm not sure
anymore. was it all but a strange
dream i had?
a dream like the one I had that night
i want to see you right away
i want to see you right away

it's seven at night in tokyo
