No.1 Friend
Composition: Makaino Kouji
Lyrics: 821R
The days we fought from dawn to dusk
He was by my side
Even if I scream "idiot"
I won't be able to see that smile anymore
We punched each other on the rooftop
Both of us fell over and looked up [at the sky]
I can't forget the sunset
The season that burned bright red
You are the No.1 friend
We were happy, we shone with youth
Just like this, No.1 friend
I thought we'd continue on
But without even saying "goodbye"
He left*
When the sky is a beautiful color
Something terrible happens huh?
Why? Instead of me,
Why did you take him along?
I'm living as though I were dead
Looking at this figure is lamentable, no?
Without fading
The season that burned bright red
You are the No.1 friend
While getting hurt, we shone with youth
Just like that, No.1 friend
I thought we'd continue on
But I can't even say "goodbye"
He left*
You are the No.1 friend
We were happy, we shone with youth
That's right, No.1 friend
Let's continue on
Without saying "goodbye" anymore
No.1 friend
He's alive in this heart of mine
I'll carry both of our dreams
So it's not "goodbye"
Together with him
You are the no.1 forever friend
* "leaving" in this case has the sense of both breaking up/dissolving a relationship, and to "die a noble death"
