Lifting you up to the highest tower,
is this what true family is?
Lending a shoulder when sparks of fire fly,
is this what true kinship is?
When we stand together as one,
troubles will fly away on their own.
Is he a god who came looking for us?
{Dearest buddy... dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you} (2)
Lifting you up to the highest tower,
is this what true family is?
Lending a shoulder when sparks of fire fly,
is this what true kinship is?
When we stand together as one,
troubles will fly away on their own.
Is he a god who came looking for us?
Dearest buddy... dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you.
Hey, on the open ground,
in the shadow of the fortress,
like a bull locking horns and roaming free,
to reach and pluck the unreachable fruit,
you must offer a supporting shoulder.
Male: For as long as we live,
he is everything to me.
Whatever comes our way, take it in stride, buddy!
Dearest buddy... dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you.
Uncle or brother-in-law,
those words hold no real meaning.
Yet between the two of us, that
affection knows no bounds at all.
With hearts pure as gold,
we will walk proud like two lions.
Never living just for ourselves,
we will set an example of true friendship.
Hoo hoo...
Hoo... hoo-oo-oo
Ha ha ha haa
Ha ha ha haa
Hoo hoo... hoo hoo... hoo hoo...
Hoo hoo... oo-oo-oo
Even if our breath
comes to a stop, this affection
has never learned to forget.
Like interest compounding into millions at a money shop,
there is no limit to our bond growing.
Your companionship will always
stay deeply etched in the core of my heart.
Just like this day, on every single day,
let our bond be born anew.
What parents say or what others say—
we never let it get into our heads.
Anyone trying to stand between our friendship,
we never paid them any attention at all.
No, no, no, no!
Dearest buddy... dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you.
Lifting you up to the highest tower,
is this what true family is?
Lending a shoulder when sparks of fire fly,
is this what true kinship is?
When we stand together as one,
troubles will fly away on their own.
Is he a god who came looking for us?
On the open ground,
in the shadow of the fortress,
like a bull locking horns and roaming free,
to reach and pluck the unreachable fruit,
you must offer a supporting shoulder.
Male: For as long as we live,
he is everything to me.
Whatever comes our way, take it in stride, buddy!
Dearest buddy... eh eh eh ehh,
dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you.
Dearest buddy... ooo... ooo... ooo-h,
dearest buddy,
a friend who carries dreams along with you.
