TOKYO CONNECTION
チェッカーズ Lyrics

The lyrics to チェッカーズ's song TOKYO CONNECTION depict a relationship between two people in the city of Tokyo. The first stanza describes a scene where two individuals are watching the raining town through their car wipers. The singer and their partner are holding each other, with the partner looking down while the singer's love voice is reflected in the mirror. The singer then exhales a sigh that reveals their crazy acceleration towards their driving, which causes jealousy to rise in them. The singer spits out saliva in response to feeling jealous. They also describe their partner's eye colour as well as the taste of their lip and their "melting" nature. The singer then confesses that they cannot call it a one-sided crush, and they know it's sad. Then the chorus repeats itself.

The second stanza describes the second night of their no-commitment relationship. Despite being lovers, they feel like strangers. The singer tries to start a conversation, but it is interrupted by a kiss. They describe their relationship as a fragile bond of glasswork that is cracking at the slightest touch. Then, they envision watching a movie about revival while tearing apart the triangular screen before it diminishes entirely. The chorus repeats itself once again.

Overall, the song paints a picture of a tumultuous and uncertain relationship in the bustling city of Tokyo, where the singer is trapped in the cycle of their emotions for their partner.
