Lyrics: Masahiko Tsuchida / Composition: Takamasa Kino
Song: Akane Hoshina

It was a long time ago.
I waited for you
at Sakurai Station of the Hankyu Mino-o Line,
watching the beautiful sunset on the Mino-o River.
Time passed gently for the two of us.
We stood shoulder to shoulder on the Momiji Bridge,
watching the setting sun as long as possible.
My heart melted into yours,
feeling your body heat,
waiting for your kiss,
silently in the twilight.

It was a long time ago.
I saw you off
at Sakurai Station of the Hankyu Mino-o Line.
The stars were shining up above the station.
Time passed gently for the two of us.
We stood shoulder to shoulder in the corner of the platform,
And you kissed me gently.
I knew shortly you would leave me at this station,
returning to your hometown.
I was lonely in the shades of twilight,
asking for squeezing me with all your might.

Finally you got on the last train
from the cold windy platform.
I waved my hand with all my might,
wishing you happiness.
I always wanted to stay with you
But I couldn’t leave my town.
