BOTAN-BASHI:

(BANANA ICE)

This is transrated from Japanese to English on the lyric of their original song"Botan-Bashi"

The place I was born and grew up,That is Kinshi-cho
Where is it,nice place to live
Close to the border of Koto-ku,five minutes to the station,very convenient
why the traffic gets heavier every year
Big American cars push people away on the street,be careful
on the back street there are pimps
Yakuza fight and people come to watch
In the morning people stare at concrete walls with their sleepy eyes
Get very quiet walking to the station face so grumpy
there used to be apark near the bridge
No more river where people got drowned
sceneries change,makes us lonely
Another building on the open land,the river is now reclaimed
and where is BOTAN-BASHI

(voice of the bridge)Haven't we forgotten something very important
Aren't we just wandering away
Haven't we forgotten something very important
(No conversation today,soon to be home,too late to change all alone the bridge used to watch over us for everything)
Kids playing cards(Japanese tradituinal one saying as MENKO) on the narrow pahts between the houses,
Ei-bow,Ma-bow all together,No cars coming by,bicycles running all over
On the road there are scribbles,naughty kids here and there,some are very quick tempered,The day's almost over,
smell of mom's cooking miso soup,one by one they go home,the gate's open and so what neighbered care about others just too much and wild,however all are the old stories too sad,warm heart chaming grandpa and grandma die and people care less,who is it"SHITAMACHI(downtown)"Love disappeared
More things to play with,toys we got tired of,Pokkan senbei(Japanese Traditional cookie
One old man by bicycle used to come and ring his bell,and children come around him with rices and they get cookies from him.
Then the old man cook the rice there like Popcorn with big sound"Pokka~n".So everybody say "POKKAN senbei"),dokkoi nendo(This is traditional art ,too.One old man in the park used to make us clay.He has some impression for clay.Children try to make a perfect art with color paint.And he judge them.)where are they
Sceneries change people's mind,BOTAN-BASHI is gone,where is it now

Too old to miss past days,more information all around,no trust between people
Many discouragements,if nobody cares and that's better,many mistakes.people with regrets
What is important,kindness to others,to tell them with no bravery to speak out to others
At night we are naked in the public bath,Yakuza or normal people they all wash each other,just being human
Some slipped with soap bubbles,here take my hand
The guy touches my penis,don't know the name of the kid
Hey don't shit there,the man on the counter ,A lot of adult have tought us ,children common sense
Now they have bath at home,nobody comes again
No more lights in town,it was a social gethering place
Sceneries change people's mind where is the BOTAN-BASHI filled with memories
