ミスター

Mr.

In a single-size room

All alone

I remember my daily life with you

The scene of the story

Sets in a crowd of buildings

A seaside town

with a big city by far

It was the day we met first

Even now, I still remember it well

Formal shirt and jacket

Didn't match with you

With few words

You've always been scolded for being strict

Helplessness enveloped

My mechanical mind

But,

I wanted to know you

I wanted to know everything and anything

But I taught you

Without saying a word

To slowly pray alone at night

I want to understand, even a little bit

I keep repeating all these days

However, you showed sometimes

This kind expression

You shed a tear only once

You couldn't hide it and you spilled it

That was kindness

So was it that day

That was our last memory together

In the darkness, hold that hand back

You smiled at me

You're no longer here

But now, I want to hear you

I want you to let me hear you once again

You, which are nice and clumsy,

Your harsh voice,

I badly hope to hear it...

What's the name of this feeling?

One more time, as usual,

Give me a scolding, Mister

Author's comments:

The song is based on the story Watashi Dake no Shoyuusha (私だけの所有者, "My only owner"), written by Rio Shimamoto. The story is the first of the four stories fom the novel collection "Hajimete No" (The First Time I...), published the same day as the song.
This collection, made in collaboration with YOASOBI, groups four stories written by Naoki Prize-winning novelists together. The main theme of the novels is "a story to read when you first did". These stories will be transposed into songs by YOASOBI.

The story is a letter from a Android Boku, writing to his owner Mr. Naruse about their relation, and how he fell in love for the first time with him.
