Bye, summer vacation.
—40mP

Time Machine is a pop rock, rock ballad song with music by 40mP, and lyrics by 164, together known as 1640mP. It is sung by Hatsune Miku. It's a nostalgic song that can be either interpreted either a farewell or a person recalling the memories of the things they've left behind. The PV depicts a giant Miku assisting with the construction of the Tokyo Skytree, which was under construction at the time the song was uploaded. In the song's game PV, Miku is depicted on a train platform, looking back on the memories of the time she spent with someone, whose point of view the flashbacks are from. The flashbacks show the two running down a path among a row of sunflowers to a treehouse that Miku built, Miku sitting on a swing, eating watermelon, and crossing off the days on a calendar. She is also shown to be putting together a scale model of Tokyo Skytree and the immediate surrounding buildings of Sumida Tokyo (where the Skytree is located). Miku and the person she is with are shown standing on the train platform as the train approaches. The person boards, and Miku is shown tearfully running down the platform after the train as it departs. The pv ends with a final flashback that shows Miku successfully placing the last piece of the Tokyo Skytree scale model in place, which she is overjoyed to have completed, and jumps towards the person with a smile on her face.

This song entered the Hall of Legend on January 29, 2013.

Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字)
得意げに呟いた 心配ないからと tokuige ni tsubuyaita shinpai nai kara to
人の少ないホームで ヘタクソに強がった hito no sukunai hoomu de hetakuso ni tsuyogatta

唐突に鳴り響く 僕を呼ぶ別れの音 toutotsu ni narihibiku boku o yobu wakare no oto
見慣れたその泣き顔も しばらくは見れないね minareta sono nakigao mo shibaraku wa mirenai ne

声が遮られていく 身振り手振りで伝える koe ga saegirarete iku miburiteburi de tsutaeru
「いってらっしゃい」のサイン "itterasshai" no sain

少しずつ小さくなってく 全部置いたまま sukoshi zutsu chiisaku natteku zenbu oita mama
悲しくなんかないさと イヤホンで閉じ込めたよ kanashiku nanka nai sa to iyahon de tojikometa yo

見えたんだぼんやりと 暖かい昨日のビジョン mietanda bon'yari to atatakai kinou no bijon
右と左に広がって 僕を連れて行くのさ migi to hidari ni hirogatte boku o tsurete yuku no sa

僕の横をすり抜けて 遠ざかっていく景色 boku no yoko o surinukete toozakatte yuku keshiki
あの日の僕を置いてく ano hi no boku o oiteku

こぼれた涙 一滴(ひとしずく) koboreta namida hitoshizuku
の 意味も分からずに no imi mo wakarazu ni
タイムマシンにゆられて 明日も元気でいるよ taimumashin ni yurarete ashita mo genki de iru yo

こぼれた涙一滴の 意味も分からずに koboreta namida hitoshizuku no imi mo wakarazu ni
タイムマシンにゆられて 明日も元気で taimumashin ni yurarete ashita mo genki de

溢れる涙抑え切れず 意味も分からずに afureru namida osaekirezu imi mo wakarazu ni
タイムマシンにゆられて また戻ってくるよ taimumashin ni yurarete mata modotte kuru yo
