Lyrics

Japanese

夕方川沿いアスファルトの
すみっこに咲いてたちっちゃい白い花

今日一度も笑わない君に
あげたくて枯れないように走った

上手くできなくて泣いてばっかりの
僕にサヨナラ　カナリヤ解き放つよ

開いたドアの向こうには
うかれてるかかとと
胸にかかげる変わらないしるし

君の弱さ探すために
僕はトリになった
真っ暗な時も迷わずゆくよ

帰り道忘れた猫みたいに
行ったりきたり　真っ白君を見てる

開いたドアの向こうには
うかれてるかかとと
胸にかかげる変わらないしるし

君の弱さ探すために
僕はトリになった
今度はめいっぱい泣いてもいいよ

開いたドアの向こうには
うかれてるかかとと
胸にかかげる変わらないしるし

君の弱さ探すために
僕はトリになった
今度はめいっぱい泣いてもいいよ

I felt that Canary was a very uplifting song to listen to.
I never thought that I would be able to participate in such a wonderful occasion again. I didn't expect it, and I'm very happy about it.
Thank you very much.

■ Bonus character setting:

Rika / First-year junior high school student

She is a childhood friend of Haruo and Jirou's who lives in the same neighborhood as them. They have grown up close like siblings.

She plays a few video games at Haruo's suggestion, but is sadly not very good at them.

She seems to be in the brass band club at school.

For this song, I was in charge of making the storyboards, creating the clip, and porting it to the game. We all have times when we just want to be alone, don't we? The girl in "Canary" must have had a bad day at school or something.
She was told, "Your lunches are always brown!" or something like that.
But when she comes home and someone smiles and says, "Welcome home," it is a great relief, isn't it?
I think she is very happy because she has four boys who look out for her until the end of the day.
Even if their lunches are all brown.
But still, it's an amazing turn of events to find what they are looking for (a girl) by following a sign from a handheld game★
