---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This song is from Shu Aroaro, the sophomore album of the singer-songwriter Yuko Ikema. The description on Minna Kikeru describes the album as: “Just like Yuko's personality, which is simple and warm, her singing voice is nostalgic and mysterious[...].”
If you like this song, please check out the full album here on Minna Kikeru: minnakikeru.co...
If there’s enough interest, I may upload the full album as well but I’m still currently debating whether that’d be super fair to Minna Kikeru which honestly has a super easy to use interface and all the album’ are pretty cheap.
This song is a cover of a Tenniscoats song of the same name which you can listen to here: • Tenniscoats: Korin

Japanese Lyrics (transcribed):
あぁもう　ぜんぶやめたいな
ねぇいっしょに帰ろう
いっしょに帰ろう
いっしょに帰ろう
いっしょに帰ろう
最終電車にのれば
ねぇもとに戻れない
もとに戻れない
もとに戻れない
もとに戻れない
すごく汚い川も
夜きらきらしてる
きらきらしてる
きらきらしてる
きらきらしてる
ねぇこのままずっと
ねぇ時間がきても
時間がきても
時間がきても
時間がきても
あぁもう　すべてはきっと
なんの価値もないんだよ
価値もないんだよ
価値もないんだよ
価値もないんだよ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
English Lyrics (translated by me*):
Ah… I want to give it all up
Hey… Let's go home
Let's go home
Let's go home
Let's go home
If we get on the last train
Hey… Nothing'll be the same
Nothing'll be the same
Nothing'll be the same
Nothing'll be the same
A dirty river
Still sparkles in the night
Still sparkles in the night
Still sparkles in the night
Still sparkles in the night
Hey… Let’s stay like this
Hey… Even if times change
Even if times change
Even if times change
Even if times change
Ah… I can say for sure
That nothing matters anyway
Nothing matters anyway
Nothing matters anyway
Nothing matters anyway

I want to thank this previous translation of this song for a good second opinion: japanoscope.co...
Addt’l Note: I’d also like to thank Peter Head in general (and Unseen Japan) for introducing me to Minna Kikeru
