I donāt know if this is going to be too easy or too hard, but here goes:
This is about a project, and about something which definitely came from the project, and about some things which are definitely related to the origin of the project.
Fly into the rising sun. . . .

On that train, all graphite and glitter. . . .

. . . the shine in your Japan. . . .
All you ever gave me was a one-way pass to Kyoto Station.

Well, the project is old, and it got split up. Iām not knowledgeable on all the details, but my understanding is that one of the places it got āsplit upā to was Kyoto University.
The original project goes back farther than 1995. At the start of the original project, I hadnāt yet begun elementary school, and my understanding is that Iām in Taiwanās eighth group for COVID-19 vaccination. 
The key is in one of the five songs.
?
Correct!
I gave up the other two questions, so went for an easy oneā¦
You did well!
Canāt find any clues in the lyricsā¦
Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Sheās so good to me
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Sheās so good to me
But Iām at home and I just donāt belong ā¦
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how blackā¦
International Geophysical Year
Correct!
