「 snowman that will never melt.」


Snow is white magic. Transforming familiar scenery into a dream.
Ice cream is magic. The moment everyone eats it, their eyes get big and round.

 When I was a boy.

We went crazy making snowmen and laughed until we were hoarse.
We ate ice cream with our bright red cheeks puffed out.
Our smiles shone brighter in the sun than the snow.

We noticed this as we watched the snow disappear into the palms of our ungloved hands.

The fun winter vacation will end someday, and once you've passed the time of dreaming, you won't be able to just have fun.

When did I start to find value only in tangible things that I could hold in my hands?

When we were young, we were engrossed in building snowmen, knowing that they would soon disappear. When I was a boy, I was immature in the best sense of the word.

I'm sure everyone has an unfinished snowman and an ice cream that will never melt in their hearts.

Are you planning to wait for the snow to melt in spring before you start walking? Don't think about that and open the door to winter now!

Why not step outside in the cold wind and try your hand at building your unfinished snowman?

I'm sure you'll find ice cream so delicious that you roll your eyes just like you did back then!

「永遠に溶けない雪だるま」


雪は白い魔法使い、見慣れた景色を夢へと変える
アイスクリームは魔法使い、一瞬で目が丸く輝く

少年の頃の僕達は

夢中で雪だるまを作り、声が枯れるまで笑い合った
真っ赤な頬をアイスクリームが大きくふくらませた
僕たちの笑顔は雪よりも太陽にキラキラ輝いていた

手袋を外した手のひらに舞い落ちる雪が消えるのを見ながら、僕達は気づいていた

楽しい冬休みはいつか終わるし、夢見る頃を過ぎれば楽しいだけじゃいられないことを

いつからだろうか?この手に掴める、形有る物にだけ価値を見い出す様になったのは…

直ぐに消えてしまうのに、夢中で雪だるまを作っていたあの頃は余力など残さずに力の限り未熟だった

きっと誰しもが心の中に完成することのない雪だるまと、溶ける事のないアイスクリームを持っている

春になり雪が溶けるまで歩き出さないのかい?
イヤイヤ、いま直ぐに冬のドアを開けようよ!

外に出て冷たい風の中、永遠に未完成の雪だるまを全力で作ってみないか?

きっとあの頃の様に、アイスクリームは目を丸くするほど美味しく思えるはずだ!
