When two great minds come together, you get a song so beautiful, you can only just say, "shut up and listen." Even if you don't like listening to foreign (not including English) music, give this song a shot.

San-gatsu jyuu-roku nichi gozen go-ji san-jyuppun
March 16 5:30 A.M.

Watashi wa kyou, kono machi wo dete ikimasu.
Kariteta mama no hon wa tsukue no ue.
ORENJI no NITTO wa imouto ni.
SAKANA no ESA wa ichi-nichi ni-kai desu.
Today, I will be leaving this town.
The book I borrowed is on the desk.
The orange knit is for my little sister.
The fish need to be fed twice a day.

Hitori de katte ni kimete gomen nasai
dakedo kinou demo ashita demo nakute
kyou wa sono toki datta
I'm sorry for selfishly deciding all this on my own
but today was the time to leave,
not yesterday, and not tomorrow

Daisuki na hito ni kakomarete aisarete kita
Kakegae no nai futatsu to nai kono machi wo
Watashi wa kyou dete ikimasu
Here, I've always been surrounded by wonderful people who've loved me
There will no replacement for and no equivalent of this town which
I will be leaving today

Kyoukai ni kane ga naru mae ni mou ikanakucha
Minna genki de
I've got to go before the church bells ring
Take care, everyone.
