Jpop Recommend #178 Wataridori by [Alexandros]

ワタリドリ Wataridori


[Alexandros]


Released in March 2015, this is their 10th single.  I once introduced this group by the name of [Champagne] but they changed the band's name to [Alexandros] in 2014.

I like their energetic and speedy drum beat. If you like their music, please try their other songs such as "Run Away".

I wanna fly so high

You were the one burdened with the distant past

we will bring you to the future
ワタリドリ の   様  に  今   群れ   を   なして

Like migratory birds, now we form a band
大それた    四重奏        を  奏で     終える 日 まで
daisoreta shijyuusou wo kanade-oeru   hi made
until the day we finish playing the wild quartet


All this time we come and we grow
Now it's time that we should go
But we both know that this is for sure
It's not the end of the world
Well, see you one day
