The Song of Tokyo Institute of Technology and Hotaru no Hikari
At the time of the 130th Anniversary of our university, we newly worded the lyrics of the Song into more contemporary Japanese while maintaining the original verse as much as possible. Subsequently, we have translated it into English to provide the meaning of the lyrics composed originally by Tatsuji Miyoshi, one of the most famous poets in Japan.
