Lamp 「1998」
Words and Music by Yusuke Nagai

[someone]

idk but everytime i hear this song i feel like i'm at the 90s going home after buying food for my cat and smoking on the way home

[greyfurt]

biggest fan! I study with your songs in the background all the time! sometimes I feel so much comfort that I get sleepy and doze off while studying so I have to pause for a few minutes www. You're my companion to my success so if you ever see my comment, pray for me please.

[Lyrics]

Shizuka ni ame furu yoru
Kai wa sae wasureru kurai
Kyō no hi ga owaru tomoru
Furonto garasu no ue
Kirameku machi no kakera
Suro- ni tada nagareochiru
Yume o narabeta madobe tōku amazora e

Kimi o sumashite radio
Merodhi- hakobu stereo
Kimi no shisen no saki ni wa nani ga mieru?
Chotto mabataki no ai da
Sotto ai todokeru yo
Jikan ga tomaru hodo ni honey

Kinō no sawagashisa ga
Kyō no itoshisa ni kawaru
Kimi no koto sukisa sukisa
A mado no soto nagareru
Tōkyō ni sayōnara o

Yubi de kizamu hai hatto
Mimikazari yureru yokogao
Hibi no sukima ga odayaka ni mitasareteku
Chotto mabataki no ai da
Sotto ai o todokeru kara
Hitomi o sorasanaide

Kimi o sumashite radio
Merodhi- hakobu stereo
Kimi no shisen no saki ni wa nani ga mieru?
Kitto futari kono mama de zutto kōshite itai ne
Omoide ni natte mo Honey


There's no romanized lyrics as far as I searched on google, so I decided to take the original lyrics and stuff them in the transliteration machine, change it to romaji, copy and paste them here, and correct some minor mistakes. There are probably some mispronounced words here and there, so do let me know if there's mistake so I can edit them. Enjoy!

[タンク郎]

静かに雨降る夜会話さえ忘れるくらい
今日の日が終わる灯る
フロントガラスの上 きらめく街のかけら
スローにただ流れ落ちる

夢を並べた窓辺 遠く雨空へ

耳を澄ましてradio メロディー運ぶstereo
君の視線の先には何が見える？
ちょっと瞬きの間 そっと愛を届けるよ
時間が止まるほどに honey

昨日の騒がしさが今日の愛しさに変わる
君のこと好きさ 好きさ

ああ窓の外流れる 東京にさようならを

指で刻むハイハット 耳飾り揺れる横顔
日々の隙間が穏やかに満たされてく
ちょっと瞬きの間 そっと愛を届けるから
瞳をそらさないで

耳を澄ましてradio メロディー運ぶstereo
君の視線の先には何が見える？
きっと二人このままで ずっとこうしていたいね
思い出になっても honey

I think Lamp is the only foreign band where I can listen to their music and understand the lyric, the message eventhough I don't speak Japanese. Their music is so transcendent

[lamplamplo]

i love when lamp always appears on my page

[chardonnato]

I had a very good friend of mine who translated these beautiful lyrics for me :) with some interpretation and notes added in the parentheses. Enjoy!

On a night where the rain falls silently, I forget even our conversations
Today's sun has burned up (Note: as if the sun is a candle or a lantern)
On the windshield a piece of the sparkling street
Slowly flows down


The windowsill I lined up with dreams goes far off into the rainy sky (literally, but sentence is highly interpretative/poetic)
(Interpretation: I lined up my dreams in the windowsill, sending them far off into the rainy sky.)


I listened carefully to the stereo carrying a radio melody
Before meeting your gaze, what could I even see?
Hey, I'll deliver my love to you in the blink of an eye
It will be as if time stops, honey


Yesterday's noise turns into today's beauty
I love you, I love you


Say goodbye to the Tokyo that flows away outside the window


Beating on the high-hat with your finger - your earring-shaking profile
In the spare time of our days, I am filled with peace
In the blink of an eye I will send out my love
So don't look away


I listened carefully to the stereo carrying a radio melody
Before meeting your gaze, what could I even see?
As a pair, I want us to stay like this forever
Even if it turns into a memory, honey

[bungeegum]

I dont know if its just me, but whenever i listen to Lamp's songs I always feel a sense of nostalgia

[madarahadian]

Shizuka ni
Amefuru yoru
Kaiwa sae wasureru kurai
Kyō no hi ga owaru - tomoru

Furontogarasu no ue
Kirameku machi no kake-ra
Surō ni tada nagareochiru

Yume o narabeta madobe
Tōku amazora e

Mimi o sumashite radio
Merodī hakobu stereo
Kimi no shisen no sakini wa
Nani ga mieru?
Chotto mabataki ai da
Sotto ai o todokeru yo
Jikan ga tomaru hodo ni
Honey...

Kinō no sawagashi-sa ga
Kyō no itoshisa ni kawaru
Kimi no koto suki-sa suki-sa

Ah~ Mado no soto nagareru
Tōkyō ni sayōnara o

Yubi de kizamu haihatto
Mimikazari yureru yokogao
Hibi no sukima ga odayaka ni
Mitasarete ku
Chotto mabataki no ai da
Sotto ai o todokerukara
Hitomi o sorasanaide

Mimi o sumashite radio
Merodī hakobu sutereo
Kimi no shisen no sakini wa
Nani ga mieru?
Kitto futari konomama de
Zutto kōshite itai ne
Omoide ni natte mo
Honey...

[littlechoco]

just found about lamp and all of their song is amazing

[ShyoruSam]

Lamp is so underated i wish people knew more of their songs

[a.c.]

Song from 2018, title is 1998, music sounds like 1989. Love it.

[myoungsunoh]

오랫동안 램프의 팬이었습니다. 이런 음악을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다.

[qaqa]

Randomly find this song on spotify on random japanese songs list. I dont understand the vibe of song, it’s very nostalgic but It’s my first time hearing. It’s romantic but I don’t have partner.. thank you for this masterpiece
❤️

[sarahl]

Their music feels like a warm hug from times' past. Love this one in particular, it's so mellow and does in fact take me back to 1998.

Didn't even search for this song, it just showed up on my feed. Maybe it searched for me and we fell in love?

[fugo]

One of the greatest songs to bless my ears
