Nihon toiu kuni wa, dentou wo nuki ni wa kataremasen
Nihon toiuto, kakushinteki na aidea ya, sono hatten buri ga medachimasu ga
Kono kuni de wa tsune ni dentou mo taisetsu ni sarete kimashita

Nihon no geijutsu de wa, dono bunya demo konseputo wa zanshin de arinagara
Kofuu na omomuki wo motta sutairu ga ooku miukeraremasu
Ongaku mo sono reigai de wa arimasen
Sono yousu wa, Toukyou no naitoraifu ni tanteki ni arawarete imasu

Japan has always been closely linked to its traditions
It's a place where innovation and evolution have been represented at their best

Tokyo

We can clearly find examples of fresh concepts with old flavors
everywhere within Japan's arts
Music is one of these examples, which is expressed in its best form
Through the night-life style in Tokyo

Tradition

Lyrics:

伝統
革新
発展
東京
日本という国は、伝統を抜きには語れません。
日本というと、革新的なアイデアや、その発展ぶりが目 立ちますが、
この国では常に伝統も大切にされてきました。
日本の芸術では、どの分野でもコンセプトは斬新であり ながら、
古風な趣を持ったスタイルが多く見受けられます。
音楽もその例外ではありません。
その様子は、東京のナイトライフに端的にあらわれてい ます。

No. I'm not kidding
