Released in January 1993, this is her 17th single. Being one of the top jpop idols of the 90’s, she was unique by writing the lyrics. This song’s lyrics was also written by her. The Watarase Bridge actually exists in Ashikaga-city, Tochigi prefecture. According to Wiki, she picked the name for the lyrics after she searched for a river or a bridge that has a beautiful name.
Ashikaga city appreciated the song and placed a memorial monument at a place where you can see the sunset and the bridge. There is also a phone booth on the corner of a barber shop in Ashikaga city. When the phone company decided to remove the booth due to the decrease of users, the city asked to preserve it. Isn’t it funny and also impressive to see how one song can make such a huge impact after so many years?

Traveling on a train, to this town
あなた は 会い に 来て くれた わ
anata wa ai ni kite kureta wa
you’ve came to see me
私 は 今 も あの 頃 を
watashi wa ima mo ano koro wo
Still being unable to forget those days,
忘れられず 生きてます
wasurerarezu ikitemasu
I live these days
今 でも 八雲 神社 へ お参り する と
ima demo yakumo-jinjya ni omairi suru to
When I go to the Yakumo Shrine even now
あなた の こと 祈る わ

I still pray for you
願い事 一つ 叶う なら
negaigoto hitotsu kanau nara
If I can make one wish to come true
あの 頃 に 戻りたい

I wish to go back those days
床屋 の 角 に ポツン と ある
tokoya no kado ni potsun to aru
Standing alone on the corner of a barber shop
公衆 電話 おぼえて ます か
kousyu-denwa oboete masu ka?
Do you remember that public phone booth?

I picked up the receiver several times
この 間 渡良瀬 川 の 河原 に 降りて
kono aida watarase-gawa no kawara ni orite
On the other day I went down to the banks of Watarase River
ずっと 流れ 見てた わ
zutto nagare miteta wa

Cold north wind was blowing
風邪 を ひいちゃい ました

and I caught a cold
誰 の せい でも ない あなた が この 街 で
dare no sei demo nai anata ga kono machi de
It was nobody’s fault I just knew
暮らせない こと わかってた の
kurasenai koto wakatteta no
it is impossible for you to live in this town
なんど も 悩んだ わ だけど 私 ここ を
nando mo nayanda wa dakedo watashi koko wo
I’ve struggled with different thoughts but
離れて 暮らす こと 出来ない
hanarete kurasu koto dekinai
I concluded that I can’t leave this town
あなた が 好き だと 言った この 街 並み が
anata ga suki dato itta kono machi-nami ga
The town view you said you like
今日 も 暮れて ゆきます
kyou mo kurete yukimasu
it is almost sundown today
広い 空 と 遠く の 山々 二人 で 歩いた 街
hiroi sora to tooku no yamayama futari de aruita machi
A town with vast sky and mountains in the distance, where we walked together
夕日 が きれいな 街
