sayoonara ode to japan

there comes a time to say goodbye
mine's tomorrow, tomorrow i fly
i look back on all that's been
you've been kind and you've been mean

no hard feelings and no regrets ~
i knew the chances, placed my bets
you showed me a life i'd never have known
an unforgettable experience i'm proud to own

thank-you for crazy karaoke nights
and sprawling views from dizzying heights
for kotatsu and heated toilet seats
for ipod walks along tiny streets

for all the rice and houjicha tea
even the squatties in which i can pee!
for daily confusion and commercial madness
and for friends who radiate radness

i'll take with me all that i've learned
all the memories and money i've earned
you might always mean some heartbreak to me
but i've been liberated too, you see :)

arigatou gozaimashita nippon.
