7 Years of Friendship
"7 Years of Friendship" (7年の友情, 7-Nen no Yūjō) is the ninth number of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood musical. It is performed by either Yuya Matsushita or Shotaro Arisawa, the actors of Jonathan Joestar.[1]
The number depicts Jonathan's monologue about still not seeing Dio as his friend even after seven years, adapting page 10 of Chapter 6.
Lyrics
Original
弛まない 水のように 時が流れた
君がお父さんと 呼ぶようになってから
僕に馴染んだ その言葉を思う
７年の時間 研鑽の日々
君は美しく 紳士としてあった
僕の襟を正す友を思う
エリナへの過ちを 君は悔いていた
ダニーに代わり 君は支えてくれた
僕の先には君の背中があった
七年の時間 共に歩んだ
なのになぜ僕は君に
友情を感じないんだ
Romaji and English Translation
Tamaranai, mizu no yō ni, toki ga nagareta
Kimi ga otō-san to, yobu yō ni natte kara
Boku ni najin da, sono kotoba o omō
Shichi-nen no jikan, kensan no hibi
Time passed like the endless flow of water
Ever since the day you started calling him "father"
I think about that word, which is so familiar to me
The past seven years we spent studying diligently
Kimi wa utsukushiku, shinshi toshite atta
Boku no eri o tadashu tomo o omō
Erina e no ayamachi o, kimi wa kuite ita
Danī ni kawari, kimi wa sasaete kureta
You've been so beautiful, a true gentleman
I think of you as my companion, who straightened me out
You regretted your faux pas toward Erina
In Danny's place, you were there to support me
Boku no saki ni wa kimi no senaka ga atta
Nana-nen no jikan, tomo ni ayunda
Na no ni naze boku wa kimi ni
Yūjō o kanjinain da
Always ahead of me, your back led the way
The past seven years, we've walked side by side
And yet, despite it all, why don't I
feel any friendship toward you?
