Game Size

So many days we wasted under the sky
Watching the sun go up and come down again

So many nights we ended up counting the stars
Until we realized that sheep should have been the subject

When I am with you with you with you
The universe is gonna stop
I wanna be with you with you with you
Wherever you are, you see you in my eyes

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

One and One do not make Two
A man and woman make a bigger One

So many moments we were looking for this answer

Long Version


So many days we wasted under the sky
Watching the sun go up and come down again

So many nights we ended up counting the stars
Until we realized that sheep should have been the subject

When I am with you with you with you
The universe is gonna stop
I wanna be with you with you with you
Wherever you are, you see you in my eyes

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

So many hugs we showed everyone in town 
I didn't care what they ever thought of us

So many kisses starting up a hundred sparks
Shedding the brightest light to blind the people who watch us

When I'm close to you to you to you
The world is gonna disappear
I'm close to you to you to you
I hear your heartbeat in harmony with mine

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

One and One do not make Two
A man and woman make a bigger One

So many moments we were looking for this answer

Song Production Information

Megumi Oka

Hello, it's nice to meet you (is it?), I'm Megumi Oka.
KOBO's composition of "Stick Around" has spare energy = charm!
This expression is perfect!
I think of spare energy, not as something brash like being complacent and cutting corners, but something more kind and fun...
I've encountered various kinds songs while singing them, but this song provides a nice feeling.
As a performer, I ideally don't flirt and seek others, but "Stick Around" allowed me to fulfil my selfish wish to be with an office worker.
Well! I want you to pay attention to the exceptional and Sweet lyrics by Scott, who has helped me since "Hunting for you".
Please experience this nice "exclusive" feeling in the game and sound (laughs)... (Tokyo native Megu)

Scotty D.

I was requested to write these lyrics, and immediately after I first heard this song, I was inspired, "instead of passionate love, let's make the theme about a warm feeling of love!".
I tried to write the lyrics about a couple sharing ordinary days together, and the feelings of a girl who cherishes such times as treasure.
In the chorus, "Why do we stick around like this?" (why are we always together?), the girl's answer to the man's question and the "One and One" sounds cute, and as the person who wrote these lyrics, I rather like it.
I liked it so much, that I kept praising myself at the recording place, "Hmm..! These lyrics are wonderful!".
By the way, I'm singing the male part in the chorus.
My face briefly appears in the game's video, so I apologize that my appearance doesn't completely match the song's image or the singing voice, so to those who really thought about this: "Ignore it!!!"

Video Production Information

Yasi

I honestly like this song. It was "surprising" in a good sense that kobo wrote a song like this.
Meanwhile, I cursed myself for not being able to show this kind of charm from kobo, who I worked together with for a long time.
I think it was difficult for him to be busy creating data as his main job while creating compositions, and I regret that I should've quickly mastered KAGE's six ways to use people, who said that something good comes out of criticizing them many times.
