Album version:

Kanji

今　あの頃を思い出す
誰もかれも付き合ってた
恋をしなきゃ　ダサいみたいな
そんな空気が流れてた

私も見た目でいいヤツいりゃ
なんとなく付き合って
なんとなく終わっていたはず

ファッションも髪型も
口紅の色も全部
流行を追いかけないで
オリジナル人生じゃなけりゃ
意味が無い　意味が無い
意味が無い　意味が無い　 Woo

曲　あの頃に良く聴いた
誰もかれも良く歌った
歌は時代に流れるとゆうが
いい音楽とは残ってる

ふとした瞬間　耳に入る
懐かしい　あの曲
思い出す　あの風景を

ブティックも町並みも
車のタイプも全部
少しずつ移り変わり
いいものが残ってかなきゃ
意味が無い　意味が無い
意味が無い　意味が無い　 Woo

ブティックも町並みも
車のタイプも全部
少しずつ移り変わり
いいものが残ってかなきゃ
意味が無い　意味が無い
意味が無い　意味が無い　 Woo

Romaji

Ima ano koro wo omoidasu
Daremo karemo tsukiatteta
Koi wo shitenakya dasai mitai na
Sonna kuuki ga nagareteta

Watashi mo mita me de ii yatsu irya
Nan to naku tsukiatte
Nan to naku owatte ita hazu

Fasshon mo kamigata mo
Kuchibeni no iro mo zenbu
Hayari wo oikakenaide
Orijinaru jinsei ja nakerya
Imi ga nai imi ga nai
Imi ga nai imi ga nai woo

Kyoku ano koro ni yoku kiita
Daremo karemo yoku utatta
Uta wa jidai ni nagareru to yuu ga
Ii ongaku wa nokotteru

Futo shita shunkan mimi ni hairu
Natsukashii ano uta
Omoidasu ano fuukei wo

Butikku mo machinami mo
Kuruma no taipu mo zenbu
Sukoshizutsu utsurikawari
Ii mono ga nokottekanakya
Imi ga nai imi ga nai
Imi ga nai imi ga nai woo

Butikku mo machinami mo
Kuruma no taipu mo zenbu
Sukoshizutsu utsurikawari
Ii mono ga nokottekanakya
Imi ga nai imi ga nai
Imi ga nai imi ga nai woo

Translation

I’m thinking back on that time now
Absolutely everyone was dating
We all had the impression
That it was uncool not to be in love

If I saw someone I liked the look of
We’d kind of hook up
And then it’d kind of fizzle out

Don’t follow fashion
And hairstyles and lipstick colours
And all those trends
If your life isn’t original
Then it’s meaningless, meaningless
Meaningless, meaningless, woo

Songs, I listened to a lot back then
Absolutely everyone sang them, all the time
They say songs change with the times
But good music lasts

Suddenly I hear
That nostalgic song
It reminds me of the way things were then

Boutiques and streets
And types of cars
They all change little by little
But if the good things don’t last
Then it’s meaningless, meaningless
Meaningless, meaningless, woo

Boutiques and streets
And types of cars
They all change little by little
But if the good things don’t last
Then it’s meaningless, meaningless
Meaningless, meaningless, woo
