Lyrics:

[English]

Tokyo Calling

we're on the edge, almost falling,

Like a nightmare, a dystopian story is looming.

Tokyo Calling

city's pulse, almost falling,

forever enthralling, beyond reach, hope's distant glory

Tokyo is calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Dad's stuck in the grind, the job's grip is appalling,

Brother's chained to the screen, at his wits end at college

Mom's escaping reality, addicted to idols

An unexpected melody comes from afar, our destiny comes crawling

Tokyo Calling

today, the city's boring too

we're struggling with a never-ending sorry

Tokyo Calling

People are talking, where's the future of our hope?

In the woods, we're trapped, unable to escape.

Tokyo is calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Tokyo Calling

Life's short, Dad's starting a part-time job at a soba shop

Life's short, Brother's gonna work at a cat cafe

Life's short, mom's gonna work at a cabaret joint,

Under clear blue skies, together we sing to that tune

Tokyo Calling

Don't hesitate to move forward.

Hope for the future is here, carving our History

Tokyo Calling

Don't hesitate to move forward.

Hope for the future is here, carving our History

Tokyo Calling

be proud of moving forward

Hope for the future is here, carving our History

Tokyo Calling

be proud of moving forward

Hope for the future is here, carving our History

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

We are marching

Tokyo Calling

be proud of moving forward

Hope for the future is here, carving our History

Tokyo Calling

be proud of moving forward

Hope for the future is here, carving our Victory
