Lyrics: To my homies [Kanji/Romaji/Translations]
All I could think of when I first listened to this song was: PEN NO SASU HOUKOU!! ;__; Knowing Sho, there must be a link to that song because his rap is always somehow connected. ;) Puts me in such a content state of mind, love it. Oh! The part after the asterisk (＊) is all done by ear and is not on the booklet, FYI.
**Translator's Notes:**
1. The lyrics which appear within parentheses is actually not in the kanji transcription found in the album booklet. However, because it is crystal clear what Sho is singing there, I have decided to add it in.
2. My translations are never literal. For lyrics, I listen to a single song countless times before I even bother to sit down and type out the translations because I like to understand the lyrics in context with the music. I want to preserve and convey the ideas and intentions of the words properly. (Fun fact: I take longer to translate lyrics for this reason!)

(Hey, what's up?
Are you there?
How's life?
Just wondering how everything's going)
Sorrow and happiness, let's accept it all,
Don't be afraid to face your fears, have faith in love
Hope and despair, let's open the window and accept them both,
No matter how many tries it takes, have faith in love
Take a step outside and there's sunshine,
The bright sun leads my way
The passersby, the lively park,
I don't know what kind of day awaits me just yet
A breeze passes by my shoulder and reminds me of you,
I look up at the sky and ponder on the thought (yeah)
We'll surely have a historic story to tell
I rush over to where they are
Things have been good for me, homie,
See, like the clouds that float by (yeah)
I want to see you soon, just like old times,
We're too far apart now, but I'm on my way
What should we talk about? Let's see...
It's the little things that become valuable,
Today will be like the good old days
Hey! (hey!) Ho! (ho!)

Sorrow and happiness, let's accept it all,
Don't be afraid to face your fears, have faith in love
Hope and despair, let's open the window and accept them both,
No matter how many tries it takes, have faith in love
I wonder why, it's always this way,
The longer we're apart, the more I want to see you
The hardships we shared back in the day
Are now detours, long strolls (yeah yeah)
Remember when we were in that small room, dreaming big dreams and looking forward to the day we'd take flight?
One day we stayed up all night talking about it
These imperfect moments are now precious to me
Driving down these usual streets feels different because I'm on my way to see you (see you)
I turn up the music and this ordinary afternoon becomes alive with memories, keep going (keep going)
When the green leaves change colors, where will your lively voice be?
As time passes, each passing day shines brighter and more vibrantly
Outside, I hear a gentle breeze, it's time for me to get going
When these seemingly insignificant days find meaning,
Our pure, innocent hearts will shine,
Dear friend (Dear friend)
Let's revisit days past, let's dance,
Our voices mark this precious moment
Hey! (hey!) Ho! (ho!)
Let's sing with us!
Light and darkness, let's accept it all,
Let's start over again, I have faith in you
Because of our struggles, we can now understand that long-lost song
Let's put our heart and soul into this journey, I have faith in you
No one can stop our passionate hearts now,
Go further, fly up toward the sky, higher and higher
We refuse to give up on our dreams,
There's no stopping us now
Hey! (hey!) Ho! (ho!)
