Author Yukke's Comment (Translated):
Hello there, I'm Yukkedoluce.
In elementary school, I used to eat Butamen with my best friend at a nearby small shop street.

Memo:
Butamen(ブタメン, lit. pork noodle) = a cheap cup noodle at 60 or 70 yen, about 80 US cents (50 cents in 5 years ago), available at Japanese old-fashioned candy shop... as well at general supermarkets in Japan.
I've never eaten it, though also I used to go to a nearby candy shop and buy tens of 10-yen gums at once. Now the shop is also gone. It's so sad!

Translated Lyrics:
"I've come here," you buddy laugh
Your smile brings back old memories
I wonder if there still is that candy shop?
You bet it's still okay and carries on
We got together as usual
And went up that long uphill to
The shop street which appears to be shorter than 100 meters
And doesn't fit fancy signs
You and me are gasping for air
I say we've quite got old
You say we don't get older so much
And get through the uphill
It's already gone here
We shall not be allowed to laugh as we used to do
Yeah, I knew it would be gone someday
But this inside me will last here forever
When will I see you next?
You guess with luck it's after 3 years
Maybe either could die by the next time
Don't say that ugly thing
Like clouds which are nothing but drifting in the sky
Like blood which is circulating in a pipe
They fade away beyond a forked road
That's fate
For the first time in 5 years
I tried to contact you then
Oh, come on
It's awfully early
Oh, wait
Buddy, you are already gone
We shall not be allowed to laugh as we used to do
I've thought we get a chance to laugh someday
He is gone, as if smiling, without any voice
Ah, everything's bound to be gone
I shall not be allowed to cry as I used to do
Although I've believed they last forever
They are gone, as if smiling, without any voice
But this inside me will last here forever
It will never be gone
It will go on growing
It will allow me to laugh
