Wishing On The Same Star
Namie Amuro · Best Fiction [2008]
Michibikareru mama arunde kita michi
Kanashimi ni makenai youni
Wasurenai yo donna toki mo
We'll never really be apart
We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Sora eto sashi dashita
Kono yubi no mukou
Hitotsu ni musubaretai
Futari ga iru
Wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Doko made mo hate shinai kara
Yume no tsuzuki eto futari demo dorou
Uchi tsukeru hageshii ame ga
Agaru youni inori mashou
We wait for lovely clear sky
We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Sora eto sashi dashita
Kono yubi no mukou
Hitotsu ni musubaretai
Futari ga iru
Wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Kokoro wa kokoro o motome au nukumori o
Te o tsunagi aruite yuku
We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Sora eto sashi dashita
Kono yubi no mukou
Hitotsu o motome aeru
Futari ga ii
Sitting on the same star
Talking about a same dream
We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
Sora o miagete yasashii kimochi omoi dasu kara
Hitotsu ni musubarenai
Sonna toki mo
We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
