Check out Japanese music Kimi no machi made by Asian Kung-Fu Generation!
Listening to Japanese music and translating lyrics is an interesting and fun way to learn Japanese. On the one hand, we have the pleasure of singing, understanding what we are singing, and on the other hand, we use this leisure as a way to learn a little more Japanese.
So, for some relaxation, I'm going to follow the advice of Japanese Language readers and start adding Japanese lyrics in kanji and with translation whenever possible.
For starters, I'll leave one of my japanese songs preferred. Her name is 君の街まで of the band Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Hope you like it.

Kimi no machi made – in Japanese
君の街まで
夕闇の先
鏡みたいに写る僕らの心細さも全部抱えて
君の街まで飛ぶための歌
揺らいでいる頼りない君もいつかは
僕らを救う明日の羽になるかな
2時を指す影
輝く赤い木々の隙間を吹き抜ける風
切なさだけで
君の街まで飛べればいいのにな
隣にいる冴えない君もいつかは
誰かを救う明日の羽になるかな
輝く向こうの先までは飛べないけど
羽ばたいている間は消えないから
色づく季節を過ぎゆく想いはいつだって
駆け足早めて逃げ出す君はいつだって
揺らいでいる頼りない君もいつかは
僕らを救う明日の羽になるかな
まだ夢のような場所までは飛べなくても
羽ばたいている間は消えないから
近付いた冬の足音に街が
鮮やかな色に染まって舞い踊る
Kimi no machi made – In Portuguese
even your city
In the late afternoon, the silver moon shines
Carrying our anxiety that is reflected in the mirror
I sing a song to fly to your city
Will your insecurity ever change
On wings of our salvation tomorrow?
The shadow indicates two o'clock
The wind passes through the shimmering red trees
If I could fly to your city
Moved only by sadness and melancholy
Will your banality transform
On wings of our salvation tomorrow?
It's impossible to go beyond the glow, but you don't disappear
while flapping its wings
The feelings always go away
Through the transition stations and you always running away in a hurry
Will your insecurity transform
On wings of our salvation tomorrow?
It's still impossible to reach the place of dreams, but you don't disappear
while flapping its wings
In the footsteps of the coming winter
The city becomes colorful and starts to bounce
