Mobara (茂原市, Mobara-shi) is a city located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
As of April 2012, the city has an estimated population of 91,439 and a population density of 914 persons per km². The total area is 100.01 km².
Mobara is located in an inland area of north-central Bōsō Peninsula. The elevation is low, ranging from 8–9 meters in the east, and rising to 100 meters in the west. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and with warming effects of the Kuroshio Current give the area a mild maritime climate, with hot, humid summers and cool, mild winters.
Mobara was settled from the earliest times, as evidenced by archaeological sites and shell mounds dating from the Jōmon period and Yayoi periods. The city also has examples of kofun, or burial tombs, from the Kofun period.
Mobara was the location of at least two shōen estates, the Mobara-sō and the Tachibana-sō, in the Heian period. At the beginning of the Edo period, in 1591, an extensively land survey was carried out by the Tokugawa clan.
There she goes walking down the stairs
Lipsticks on and she's ready to go
She slows down in hesitation, yeah
But i let her know she's beautiful
But tonight this town is ours
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
And i'll dance the night with the girl i love the most
And i don't care if we ever leave
Its everything a dream could be
Her hands around my neck
My hands are at her waist
As all of our plans fall into place
But tonight this town is ours
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
And i'll dance the night with the girl i love the most
With the girl i love the most, Oh baby hold on tight lets make this right.
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
