Invitation
Kou Shibasaki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Udaru you na chi mo shizumari
Hono kurai hinode mae
Itsumono doori michi de machiawase
Minna de shiyou

"Natsu dakara" BOODAA ka yaketa
Hadaka WANPIISU
Kosei wa nai keredo
Kawaite urayamashii

Minna mae miteru suki ni
Gyutto te wo hiite hoshiinda

Romendensha ni nori
Dokomade hashiri nuke you?
Douse kaigan ka sokora atari
Hanabi demo shimashou
Te ni motte wa ike nai no ni
Furi mawashiki wo hiku
Yokuaru keshiki ga atsui

Kyonen no tanjoubi ni wa
Kuroi T-SHATSU wo kureta
Wazato ana gaaiteru
Sode wo tooshite miyou ka
Kotoshi wa "Nani ga ii?"
Shitataka kotaerarezu
Mitsumete kurete iru koto ni

Dokokara koi ni natta no ka...

Atama no naka dewa zutto
Tsuduite yuku one time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kou Shibasaki's song Invitation express an invitation to enjoy the summer with friends. The first verse describes a landscape where even the blood seems to calm down, as the sun rises before everyone meets in their usual meeting spot. The following lines describe how everyone is dressed casually and how they envy each other's dryness, while they all wait for the rest of the group to arrive. The chorus continues to emphasize the hope that everyone will enjoy each other's company, holding hands tightly while riding the train, wondering how far they could go before finally arriving at the beach, where they plan to watch fireworks while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The second verse mentions some of the singer's favorite things that remind her of summer and how she and her friends will be going out and having fun, doing things that they can only do in the summer. She talks about how last year, she was given a black t-shirt, and how she's been showing it off to everyone, playfully wondering if she can pull off rolling up the sleeves. She then thinks about how she is content just being with her friends, not caring about anything else, and the final lines express the desire to hold onto the memory of the day.

柴咲コウさま
当時からめちゃめちゃ歌うまいよ

@user-tt5xl4kg9u

この曲、サビの音程が上下激しかったりリズムが畳み掛けるような部分があるから難しいのに、ライブで軽々と生歌歌えるのかなり凄いと思います!

@user-xi2lu8qg5w

可愛さと歌の安定感がエグい。

@pietroojisan

この人の唄はセンチメンタルな気分にさせるよね。
ほんと脱帽です。

夏の匂いも風景も懐かしいけど、本当に懐かしいのはあの頃の自分なのかな?
