In The Flight is a song by Fishmans, first released on their seventh studio album 宇宙 日本 世田谷 as track 4. During an MC on December 28, 1998 @Akasaka Blitz, Shinji Sato said that the song "reminds us that things happen in life", referring to tragic occurrences that might fall on someone unexpectedly.

[VERSE 1]
Yottsu kaidan o kake agatte doa o akete nozokikomeba
Sono neta sōna kūki ga sukida
Chōshi ga yokereba ī ne
Son'na kehai o kanjitanara
Yōki ni ojama mo dekiru-sa
[VERSE 2]
Doa no soto de omotta nda
Ato juu-nen tattara
Nan demo deki-sōna ki ga suru tte
Demo yappari son'na nouso sa
Yappari nani mo dekinai yo
Boku wa itsu made mo nani mo dekinaida rō
[PRE-CHORUS]
Sora ni yorikakatte
Futari no subete o tayotte
Doko made mo tondeiku
Itsu demo bokura o yoroshiku tanomu

[VERSE 1]
If you were to run up the four steps, open the door and look in
I like the slept in atmosphere
I hope you're in good health
I feel like it showed you were so
I can cheerfully visit (bother) you
[VERSE 2]
Outside your door I thought about it
In 10 years you should be able do anything
But of course that is just a lie
Of course we can't do anything
I can't do anything
[PRE-CHORUS]
Leaning on the sky
2 people fully depending on it
Flying on endlessly
Always take care of us
[CHORUS]
In the flight
In the flight
In the flight
In the flight
[OUTRO]
One two three, one two three, one two three
Run up the four steps
[INTRO]
In the flight
In the flight
[VERSE 1]
I run up four flights of stairs and open your door
As I look in I see the signs of it being used
It seems that you are doing well
(If not) I can cheerfully visit you!
[VERSE 2]
Standing outside your door
I thought about how in ten years you will be able to do anything
But of course that is just a lie we tell each other
We can't do anything
I can't do anything
[PRE-CHORUS]
Fully dependent, we rest in the air
As we fly on forever
Please take care of us
[CHORUS]
In the flight
In the flight
In the flight
In the flight
[OUTRO]
One two three, one two three, one two three
I run up four flights of stairs
Trivia[]
In many very late performances, In The Flight is often played just before Walking in the Rhythm, the two often being seen as a pair. This is epitomized in the Fishmans+ live album 2011.3.28 LIVE@DOMMUNE!!!!!!!!!!, which pairs them both onto the same track.
