Aika’s report is on Music Festa Vol. 3, a live event produced by Up-Front artist and songwriter Nakajima Takui.

Semi (蝉; Cicadas) – Berryz Koubou

The day I went back to visit my family was kind of fun
We cheerfully ate sukiyaki for dinner

But after three days, I was lonely
My cellphone doesn’t work here; this is boring

At dusk, I take a walk
And think of you
Miss you

My little brother dashes about, catching cicadas
He’s so proud as he
Shows them off to me, missing

Why are rural nights so early?
At eight o’clock, I’m starting to get sleepy

The house is bustling when all my relatives get together
And when we start playing cards I get really into it

I actually thought “sorry”
Because I forgot about you…
Love you

For dinner we had ramen, I put butter in mine
I made a bunch of
Vegetables! Missing

In three more days, I’ll be going home
But surprisingly that’s
Sort of lonely, too

I’m bringing
You lots of souvenirs
It’s just my favorite Japanese mint candies, though
Missing
