Story Transcript:

Ja: ヒロシの住むこの街、東京、はどこよりも速い。
En: Hiroshi lived in this city, Tokyo, which was faster than anywhere else.

Ja: 毎日、午前7時に目覚め、繁華街を抜け、駅まで急ぎ足で向かう。
En: Every day, he would wake up at 7 a.m., rush through the busy streets, and head to the station in a hurried pace.

Ja: そのきっかけはもちろん、通勤ラッシュ。
En: The reason for this, of course, was the morning commute rush.

Ja: だが、この日は何もかもがいつもと違った。
En: However, this day was different from everything else.

Ja: 朝のうっとうしいブザー音と同時に、ヒロシは起きた。
En: As the annoying buzz of the morning alarm sounded, Hiroshi woke up.

Ja: マンションから一目散に駅へ走り、通らなければならない五つの交差点を通過した。
En: He sprinted to the station from his apartment building, passing through five intersections that he had to cross.

Ja: しかし、目の前に広がる光景は、見慣れたものでありながら、不吉な予感を抱かせるものだった。
En: However, the scene that stretched out in front of him was familiar yet unsettling.

Ja: 朝の大勢の通勤客がひしめく駅のホームには、つまずくほどの人々が満ちていた。
En: The platform at the crowded station, hustling with commuters in the morning, was filled with people to the point of stumbling.

Ja: ヒロシは腕時計を見る。
En: Hiroshi checked his watch.

Ja: まだ間に合う時間だ。
En: He still had time.

Ja: 電車がステーションに滑り込む光景を見て、逃したならば遅刻する、あの警笛を待った。
En: He waited for that train to slide into the station, the one he would be late if he missed, accompanied by its familiar warning sound.

Ja: そして、満員電車が滑り込んできた。
En: And then, the overcrowded train slid in.

Ja: ああ、いつもの朝通勤の光景だ。
En: Ah, the usual morning commute scene.

Ja: だが、この日は違う。
En: But this day was different.

Ja: 今日、ヒロシはそれを知ることになる。
En: Hiroshi would come to know that today.

Ja: ドアが開き、人々が一斉に車両内に押し込まれる。
En: The doors opened, and people pushed into the train car all at once.

Ja: 耳元には遠くでこだまする怒鳴声と携帯電話の通知音が響く。
En: Distant shouts and ring tones of cellphones resounded in his ears.

Ja: ヒロシは何とか電車に乗り込み、体を売り切れそうな方向に張り付けた。
En: Hiroshi managed to get onto the train somehow and pressed himself against the seemingly sold-out space.

Ja: ある定型的な手順を踏み、コートのポケットから定期入れを取り出す。
En: Following a routine procedure, he took out his pass case from his coat pocket.

Ja: そして、それが起こった。
En: And then, it happened.

Ja: 不意に、電車が急停車。
En: Suddenly, the train jerked to a halt.

Ja: 周りの人々からは驚きの声が上がるが、問題はそこではない。
En: Voices of surprise rose from the surrounding people, but that was not the problem.

Ja: ヒロシの手から定期入れが落ち、足元を転がり、足元から離れて行ってしまった。
En: Hiroshi's pass case slipped from his hand, rolled near his feet, and drifted away from him.

Ja: そして、それは電車の操作パネルに当たり、警告音が鳴った。
En: And then, it hit the control panel of the train, and a warning sound rang out.

Ja: 慌てるヒロシの眼前に広がる光景は、赤、オレンジ、緑色の灯りが舞い踏む操作ボタン群の混乱だ。
En: The scene that unfolded before Hiroshi, caught in a panic, was a chaos of buttons bathed in red, orange, and green lights.

Ja: 恐怖と混乱に襲われたヒロシは、思考が止まり、慌てて手を伸ばし、全てのボタンを押してしまった。
En: Overwhelmed by fear and confusion, Hiroshi's thoughts ceased, and he reached out in a hurried manner, pushing all the buttons.

Ja: 掌がボタンに触れると、各種アラーム音が奏でられた。
En: As his palm touched the buttons, various alarm sounds were played.

Ja: 全てのボタンを押してしまった結果、電車は立ち往生し、ヒロシと他の乗客たちは無言でシーンを見つめるしかなかった。
En: As a result of pushing all the buttons, the train came to a standstill, and Hiroshi and the other passengers could do nothing but silently witness the scene.

Ja: ああ、これが運命なのか。
En: Ah, so this is fate.

Ja: しかし、ヒロシは最後に確信する。
En: However, Hiroshi was certain of one thing in the end.

Ja: これこそが、自分の人生。
En: This was his life.

Ja: そしてヒロシはそれを受け入れ、彼の朝通勤ライフに新たな章を加えたのだ。
En: And Hiroshi accepted it, adding a new chapter to his morning commute life.

Ja: その日以降、ヒロシはきっと普通の人生からは少し逸脱して生きることになるだろう。
En: From that day on, Hiroshi would surely live a life slightly deviating from the norm.

Ja: それは混乱とともに始まり、終わりには理解と受け入れが待っている。
En: It would begin with chaos, and at the end, understanding and acceptance would await.

Ja: ヒロシの物語はここから始まる。
En: Hiroshi's story started here.

Ja: それは<東京の朝>として、彼の人生の一部になった。
En: It became a part of his life as "Tokyo Morning."
