大人になったね [Otona ni natta ne] [English translation]

I'm a shy transfer student

who got along well with another lonely fellow.

We were together for all of middle school.

We took our school entrance examination the same way, but

now he's leaving me...

As high school students, we respectively

stopped talking with each other,

you cut off contact even on birthdays,

and before I knew it, we grew up.

We no longer cross paths in our life.

You suddenly went to YouTube to play the fool.

I want you to keep seeing my rare smiles like back then.

Please, ah, stay lively, okay?

I'm my own streamer.

Although I was awkward back then, it's like I've changed now.

Weaving in even my self-deprecation,

I expose my inferiority complex,

but you know,

I make gestures of embarrassment.

I care about what other people think of me deep down.

Although I can easily be brought to tears,

I act tough.

I won't change this, even if I've grown up.

We no longer cross paths in our life.

You're becoming a popular person from a far away world.

There's 1 person cheering me on out of every 200,000.

I'm gently, ah, watching over that 1.

I suddenly get a notification,

and the live streaming starts.

Are you a bit drunk?

You began talking about an old story.

"I want to see my old friend who is now away from me.

I was poor at speaking, and she was always there for me."

If I'm not mistaken,

I think I do want to see him.

At somewhere I didn't know I'd reach you,

you tell me, "It's been a long time."

then you signed off.

As my phone rings, my breath stops instantly.

Although I saw it, it took me just a bit of time to answer.

My anxiety now unfounded worry, you being the way you were back then,

you're kind, ah, and lively as ever.

We've grown up, haven't we?

I also want to see you.
