Thank You, New Treasure Island


I didn't know the words
and I don't know the language
still... there was something felt.

Messages conveyed through vibration.
Music is indeed magic and math.

Large gestures seemingly small
condensed into a moment in existence.

I want to share. 
I want to scream "I hear you!"
I want to...but I can't stop crying.

When I read the translation,
the confirmation and
the meaning reached me.

Those words reached my heart
with a message from ten years ago
carrying messages from farther back.

Everyone is seen. Everyone is felt.
Including me. 
Thank you for speaking to me.
For speaking to all of us
and for reaching me.

[English Translation Below]


New Treasure Island
Shintakarajima song by sakanaction

I kept drawing the next line
to the next and the next.
I'm drawing the next destination:
Treasure Island.

I'm guiding you along like this.
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully drawing.
With lines that were shaking and trembling,
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully drawing.
It's been decided.

Neither the next place,
or the next, or the next is our destination yet.
I'm searching for the scenery of a dream:
Treasure Island.

I'm guiding you along like this.
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully singing.
Even if I'm shaking and trembling,
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully singing,
though it's been decided.

I'm guiding you along like this.
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully drawing.
Even if I'm shaking and trembling,
I'm carefully, carefully, carefully singing.
Even still, I'm guiding you along...
With lines that were shaking and trembling,
I'm drawing
your song.
