The English Translation of "Kimiiro Signal" from "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend"

In a fleeting moment reflected in the passing car window, I met your gaze and smiled a little. On a winter day, at a snowy street corner, blaming our mismatched strides on the past, let's decide on our future password, so we won't lose each other.

Even on freezing rainy nights, your tears are warm, so it's okay. Now I understand why people seek comfort in each other.

The day we first met, the day we first laughed, the day we first cried, everything happened because you were there. Ah, words are surprisingly inconvenient. There's never enough time to convey everything. Still, even if just a little, I want to convey my feelings. Today is both so painful and so precious, isn't it? The bell of dawn rings, and I'm glad I could meet you.

We often realize the value of things after we've lost them, even the most ordinary scenery will become a memory someday.

Each time we lose something, we grow a little older and realize that empty hands are meant for holding. I'm sorry for always taking the long way around and making you wait.

The day we first met, the day I wished for an eternal love that never came true, everything happened because you were there. Hey, how many times can I say "I love you" from now on? Just thinking about the limited time we have ahead is scary. Still, even if just a little, I want to convey my feelings. Today is both so painful and so precious, isn't it? Hidden in the dawn's bell, to the most important person, I'm glad I could meet you.
