AKB48 "So long" Goodbye Tokyo with translation.

How are you going guys!!.

Lately... We have moved to Osaka city from Tokyo on this beginning of June.

Osaka is about six hundred kilometers away from the place where we used to live.

Sometimes we feel something is different here in Osaka.

Probably... these are from the difference in intonations or probably feeling unfamiliar with the ways of their behaviours or the sceneries of the cities.

Have felt loneliness by separating from the friends in Tokyo.

But I should do my best everyday for to achieve my dream of getting a job in wherever I am right now.

However... surely I am lucky enough that able to have strong backup from my girlfriend here.

I am fluffy thinking like that kind of thing by watching many remaining unpacked cardboard boxes which have left all over in our rooms.

But... ahaha... fluffy as usual me... Yes, does not matter... time will solve everything.

So...If you have a chance to come over Osaka, We welcome you anytime.

By the time you will visit us, surely these melancholy parcels will be set in the right places... maybe??.

Anyway... since we will start our new life in Osaka, I should express goodbye to Tokyo.

Therefore... recommends this AKB48 30th single cut song which has released on 2013 February 2nd, "So long" for today.
