"Kioku" is Japanese for "Memory"

Kitto saigo wa koko ni kaette kuru to omou
Sekai no hajimari wa futari de miteita
Ichido dake sono basho ni tashika ni todoita kara
Kono te wo hanashitemo kowaku wa nai no nido to

Karappo no karada ni furisu motte yuku kioku
Watashi wa sukoshi-zutsu tsukutte mitashite
Sonna fuu ni hito wa hito no katachi ni naru no
Wasuretakunai omoi kokoro ni kasanete

Doko made tooku yuku toki ni mo
Watashi wa koko ni kimi no naka ni
Kimi wo michibiku hoshi no you ni
Zutto iru wa

Kimi wo hanarete yuku toki ni mo
Mune ni kizanda ano basho e to
Watashi wa kitto kaereru kara
Furimukazu ni yuku wa

Karappo datta mune ni ai to iu yuu no kioku
Kimi ga amaku nigaku sosoi de kureta
Ichido dake kimi no naka tashika ni todoita kara
Kono te wo nobasu koto kowaku wa nai no nido to

Tatoe ima mitsu kara naku temo
Taisetsuna mono wa mada aru no
Kimi wo tada dakishimeta yoru ni
Tadoritsuita

Kimi wo hanarete yuku toki ni mo
Watashi wa koko ni kimi no naka ni




Kimi wo michibiku hoshi no you ni
Zutto soba ni iru wa
