When you sing it all, it’s a 20 minute song!

Someday, everyone who visits Chuo-ku, everyone who works in Chuo-ku, everyone who lives in Chuo-ku,

Everyone who cleans the park, protects the roads, rivers and bridges every day, everyone who grows flowers on the sidewalks and terraces,

Chuo-ku Tourism Association, correspondents,

And it is a dream to sing a large chorus with everyone who loves Chuo-ku!
