TEGASONG - "Taiyou no Katamukikata" is a gentle, reflective song about growing up and learning that love—much like the shifting angle of sunlight—doesn't happen in an instant. It captures the journey from feeling trapped in a narrow world to finding hope through an unexpected encounter, and the gradual realization that both the earth and our hearts take time to nurture what truly matters. With its warm, nostalgic gaze, the song reminds us that even after the sun sets, something eternal continues to wait for us among the stars.
Kanji Lyrics
太陽の傾き方を (I just found out)
飽きることなく僕は眺めていた
空の青さがそう少しずつ移ろい行くグラデーションこそ恋なんだと
歩道橋の手すりに凭れ ようやく自分の居場所を見つけたかもしれない
他府県ナンバーの車がこの街に来た理由 勝手に想像をしていた
自分が今いる世界は狭くて
息が詰まって逃げ出したくなる
どこかへ行ってみたいけど どこに行けばこの気持ちを振り切れるか分からない
ある日僕は君と巡り会った 予想もしなかった感情は
希望になって輝いて 胸の奥照らしている
太陽の傾き方を (I just found out)
大人になってようやく分かったよ
朝日が昇って ああという間に 地平線に沈むわけじゃないんだ
ゆっくりと地球は回り (I just found out)
今日を描いて一日を終えるもの
一秒ごとに人も大地も大切なものを育ててく それが恋だ
君に急に告白しても YesかNoかで終わるだけ
いくつか歳月を経て感情を伝えたいよ
太陽が姿消しても
僕には見える どんなに星空が
輝くその中 きっとどこかで恒星は僕たちを待ってくれてる
ゆっくりと地球は回り (I just found out)
今日を描いて一日を終えるもの
一秒ごとに人も大地も大切なものを育ててく それが恋だ
So warm like the sun, can you feel my love
So bright like the sun, It's part of my life

English Translation
The way the sun tilts (I just found out)
Without ever getting tired, I kept watching it
The blue of the sky gradually shifting—that gradation is what love is, I thought
Leaning on the railing of the pedestrian bridge, I may have finally found my place
I'd imagine, on my own, why cars with out-of-prefecture license plates came to this town
The world I'm in right now is so narrow
It's suffocating and makes me want to run away
I want to go somewhere, but I don't know where to go to shake off this feeling
One day I met you—an emotion I never expected
Became hope, shining and illuminating the depths of my heart
The way the sun tilts (I just found out)
I finally understood it after becoming an adult
The sun doesn't just rise and then sink below the horizon in an instant
Slowly the earth turns (I just found out)
Painting today and ending the day
Every second, people and the earth nurture what's precious—that is love
Even if I suddenly confessed to you, it would just end with a Yes or No
I want to convey my feelings after several years have passed
Even if the sun disappears from sight
I can see it—no matter how much the starry sky shines
Within that brilliance, surely somewhere, a fixed star is waiting for us
Slowly the earth turns (I just found out)
Painting today and ending the day
Every second, people and the earth nurture what's precious—that is love
So warm like the sun, can you feel my love
So bright like the sun, It's part of my life
Indonesian Translation
Cara matahari miring (I just found out)
Tanpa pernah bosan, aku terus mengamatinya
Biru langit yang perlahan berubah gradasinya—itulah cinta, pikirku
Bersandar di pagar jembatan penyeberangan, mungkin aku akhirnya menemukan tempatku
Aku berimajinasi sendiri, mengapa mobil berpelat nomor dari luar daerah datang ke kota ini
Dunia tempatku berada sekarang terasa sempit
Sesak dan membuatku ingin kabur
Aku ingin pergi ke suatu tempat, tapi tak tahu ke mana harus pergi untuk melepaskan perasaan ini
Suatu hari aku bertemu denganmu—perasaan yang tak pernah kuduga
Menjadi harapan, bersinar dan menerangi relung hatiku
Cara matahari miring (I just found out)
Aku akhirnya memahaminya setelah dewasa
Matahari tak sekadar terbit lalu tenggelam di bawah cakrawala dalam sekejap
Bumi berputar perlahan (I just found out)
Melukis hari ini dan mengakhiri hari
Setiap detik, manusia dan bumi memelihara hal-hal berharga—itulah cinta
Bahkan jika aku tiba-tiba mengaku padamu, itu hanya akan berakhir dengan Ya atau Tidak
Aku ingin menyampaikan perasaanku setelah beberapa tahun berlalu
Bahkan jika matahari menghilang dari pandangan
Aku masih bisa melihatnya—betapa pun gemerlapnya langit berbintang
Di dalam kemilau itu, pasti di suatu tempat, sebuah bintang tetap menunggu kita
Bumi berputar perlahan (I just found out)
Melukis hari ini dan mengakhiri hari
Setiap detik, manusia dan bumi memelihara hal-hal berharga—itulah cinta
So warm like the sun, can you feel my love
So bright like the sun, It's part of my life
