Bay City
Junko Yagami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
異国の船 数えてゆけば
光りはじめた 街は横文字
人の波に とびこむ
過ぎた恋も 粋なドラマに変えて
コートのえりを 立てたら
いつでも不思議な
Twilight Bay City
黄昏 あぶない Twilight Bay City
くちびる 噛んだ 彼女たち
古いテラスで からむ視線は
似てる同志の サインさ
肌の色も 気に止めずすれ違う
自由が 似合う 夜へと
すべてが眩しい Twilight Bay City
街の鼓動に 身体あずけて
1人のオン・ステージ
Twilight Bay City
主役になれる ひとときさ
Take it to me
今夜だけは かなわぬ夢と
肩を並べて
すべてを包むよ Twilight Bay City
孤独もとかす 熱い時間さ
女神のため息 Twilight Bay City
自分に環る ひとときさ
すべてを包むよ Twilight Bay City
孤独もとかす 熱い時間さ
女神のため息 Twilight Bay City
The lyrics of "Bay City" by Junko Yagami describe a cityscape that is exotic and filled with foreign ships. The city starts to light up with the presence of neon signs and people from different backgrounds. It portrays a bustling city with a wave of people. The song then goes on to talk about how past loves can be transformed into sophisticated dramas, and wearing a coat with a raised collar adds a sense of mystery and allure.
The chorus talks about searching for a love that feels like a maze in the twilight, danger lurking in the air. The lyrics mention the dangerous allure of the women in the city, with their lips bitten, and how their gaze entangles in the old terraces. The similarity of their comradeship is signaled in their glances and signs. The song emphasizes how in this city, people pass by each other without paying attention to differences in skin color, as freedom suits the night.
The lyrics continue to describe the overwhelming brightness of the city, with its vibrant rhythm pulsating through the body. The song then focuses on a single person on stage, highlighting a moment where one can become the singer. The bridge brings a sense of longing and desire, with unattainable dreams being shared and embraced for one night. The song concludes by referring to the city as a place that envelops everything, where even loneliness can be dissolved in the heat of intense moments, and where the sighs of a goddess can be heard.

A~h, I meet
Tom the Paralympic mascot
A~h, and if I see you there
Just see through the moon
The constellation shapes through the sky
When the sun shines in our sky
If our moon shines, we’d look in our sky
This winter sea is laughing at me
And the wind is freezing
I’m like one of the planets, journey through the space
Tom the Paralympic mascot
A~h, and your beloved
Journey through the Solar System
Youth is like, a hidden place
We got our star, and the star brights
And our sky is blue, with our clouds
And you are the only man, who can hear the planets
The only man
Like the sky, embracing the void
It was a miracle that we met
Just one more time, just one more time
Even just a vision of you
A~h, I meet
Tom the Paralympic mascot
A~h, and if I see you there
Just see through the moon
A~h, I meet
Tom the Paralympic mascot
A~h, and if I see you there
Just see through the moon
@luciafantin
you all pointing out 2:37 but... 2:55 is much more impressive, I almost can't believe that flawless modulation with vibrato :0
@mochi7665
Hells yes! This part is the best!
@animegod2424
Yes- like why is it so underrated? I get that it's used a lot but it's still impressive 😔✊
@imikah5004
Thxx
@ssgsaxgamer4902
Wait there's an actual key modulation there? Is it from the key built on the dominant back to the tonic?
@peeslosh2036
I'm very simple minded. 3:32 brings joy. Makes the happy juice flow. No idea what vibrato means but the du du du's are nice
@deafbabyz_
2:37 was the most iconic bridge in a 80s J-Pop
@starpalitnum7896
Yes so true :)
@him5903
@Star Palitnum ah, one of my kin.
