I come to Ebisu smiling, to Kichijoji
Calling someone in Roppongi
There are more radio waves in this city
Than stars in the sky
I had tea with Naomi yesterday
Left Kazue at dawn
I play around, but still I hesitate
Unable to fit in with the circle of chatting friends
I just don't want to throw away my dreams
Though it's not popular to live a pure life
I come to Ebisu smiling, to Kichijoji
Calling someone in Roppongi
Tokyo, evening primrose
The first time was Shinjuku, the third time was Sangenjaya
Maybe next time I'll go to Ikebukuro
The town changes into its daytime face
Reflected in the show window
Between the buildings
Taller than that old, nostalgic hill
I look away from the showy fliers
Thinking of my hometown, to which I can't yet return
Dad, Mom, I hope you're doing well
Someday I'll bloom and come back to see you
The first time was Shinjuku, the third time was Sangenjaya
Maybe next time I'll go to Ikebukuro
Tokyo, evening primrose
I just don't want to throw away my dreams
Though it's not popular to live a pure life
I come to Ebisu smiling, to Kichijoji
Calling someone in Roppongi
Tokyo, evening primrose
