1_UMARETA MACHI DE "On the Street of My Home Town" Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) Released on October 5, 1974 by Toshiba EMI Lyrics and music: Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) Arranged by Masataka Matsutoya (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics) You don't have to greet me, if it's the usual type of greeting I'm in no mood to say a word right now, about the weather this morning When I stopped on this street corner and felt the wind blow away I could feel the seasons changing. I finally noticed, for the first time, the smell of the town where I was born. I will probably never be attracted to the other town so far away again. When I stopped my little bike and felt the wind blow away I knew the seasons were changing. When I stopped on this street corner and felt the wind blow away. I knew the seasons were changing Included on Yumi Arai's (Yumi Matsutoya) second album, "MISSLIM".
2_I Wanna Go Back to That Day (Ano Hi ni Kaeri tai)(1975) Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) Released on October 5, 1975 Words & music: Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) Arranged by Masataka Matsutoya (English translation of the rough meaning of the lyrics) After I tore off the pictures as I cried I linked them together again on the palm of my hand I saw our smiles from times when we had no worries and I felt disgusted We all forget the memories of the events of our youth before we know it But if I could, I would go back to that time And I want to see you at that time again As I watch the changing colors of the city sky as it fades away I wander through the memories of you Between the shining wind and the waves of shining grass I seem to see us shining and passing through Memories of the events of our youth are all forgotten before we know it But if I could, But if I could, I would go back to that time And I want to see you at that time again If I abandon this love now I may not be able to hurt anyone But the words I wrote in my address book slightly smudged by my tears I'll hold it on your door, and I'll go back to those days This song was written when she was single, before she married Masataka Matsutoya. After its release, this song became a big hit in Japan, with sales exceeding 10,000 copies per day for 20 days, and topping 1 million copies within 3 months of the single's release.
