**[Verse 1]**
On Saturday evening, I went to the station.
It was so crowded in front of the station.
The summer festival was already in progress, and I was looking for my girlfriend.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
The current time was 4:55 p.m.
Just then, my smartphone rang.
**[Chorus 1]**
Every summer, as the Gion festival week begins, the castle town becomes a lively place.
**[Verse 2]**
On Saturday evening, I took the bus to the station.
It was packed with spectators in front of the station.
The summer festival was still ongoing, and I was searching for my boyfriend.
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
The current time was 4:56 p.m.
I called him using my iPhone.
**[Chorus 2]**
Every summer, as the Gion festival week begins, the castle town becomes an energetic place.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
On the phone I said, “Hi, my darling! Where are you now?”
He replied, “I’m near the bronze statue.”
I asked him, “What is our plan for today?”
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
I gently explained, “The bronze statue is near the south entrance where the Gion drums are, and Matsumoto’s anime characters are at the north.” Then I asked, “Who is she?”
**[Chorus 3]**
Every summer, as the Gion festival week begins, the castle town becomes a spirited place.
**[Final Chorus]**
I responded to her, “Our plan is to enjoy the summer festival with the Gion drums. She was Maetel.” I hurried to the south entrance.
The sounds of the Gion drums echoed in the distance.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Fade Out]**
