❝NIJI NO RESSHA❞
The clouds cut a path in the sky.
I glance briefly at my watch,
and gently heave a sigh.
Will you stop me and say not to go?
Can I leave my love behind?
The rainbow train is about to depart
right on schedule, toward our dreams.
I want to set off with you by my side.
We'll take on absolutely everything!
When living on the ground
we can see anything, but what's right in front of us.
While aiming for something far beyond here
we'll realize the world is really huge, isn't it?
Don't you want to try going towards the future?
Are you going to cling to the past?
Don't miss the rainbow train.
No one is going to let us know when the next one will come by.
When we've finally obtained something by our own hands
we might someday return here.
Now, you made it here on time.
As long as we start running, something will begin.
A seven-colored bridge.
The rainbow train is running according to schedule.
Departing towards our dreams
I want to set off with you by my side.
We'll take on absolutely everything!
❝AITAKATTA❞
I've been waiting, yes!
I've been waiting, I've been waiting!
I've been waiting, yes!
For you!
I pedal my bike with all my might
as I make my way up this hill.
Even my shirt, blown by the wind,
is only getting in my way.
I've finally come to terms with how I feel,
so I'll be honest from now on.
This is the only path for me,
so here I go!
If you're in love, then just say so.
Don't try to hide it. Be true to yourself.
If you're in love, then just say so.
Let it all out of your heart!
I've been waiting, I've been waiting!
I've been waiting, yes!
I've been waiting, I've been waiting!
I've been waiting, yes!
For you!
❝SHOUJOTACHI YO❞
glows brightest of them all?
You can ask anyone,
and they won't know,
but beyond the darkness,
a new light awaits us.
In the corner of the stage.
I struggle on.
The pain and disappointment
are all a part of my youth.
Stand up, girls!
The dawn is nearly here.
We've barely begun on the road to our dreams.
WOW WOW
Stand up, girls!
There's no reason to lose hope.
Shake yourself free from all your sadness.
With all our might,
with all our might,
we'll take off running.
❝BEGINNER❞
All of my past experience
and knowledge will just weigh me down.
The wind will blow as always,
leaving nothing behind.
Let's find a new path!
Don't follow someone else's map!
When you open your eyes, it will all return to zero.
Are we following our dreams?
Do we believe in the future?
Who cares about fear? Who cares about status?
We'll stay as bold as always.
Are we following our dreams now?
With all the innocence of a child...
Let's break free of the chains holding us back.
Change your mind
Change your mind
You don't have to know anything. You're a Beginner!
After falling and making fools of themselves,
All the clever adults take care
to never feel that way again.
Challenges are fool's errands
and risks should be avoided.
But who can we defend with our silly plans?
Are we truly alive?
Do we want to keep living tomorrow?
We keep pretending we know it all,
but we haven't dreamed in a while.
Yes, are we truly alive?
Or are we wasting our lives?
Let your heart sing in time with the beat!
Stand up! Together!
Remember the day you were born!
Everyone is a beginner!
Stand up! Right away!
Nothing goes right
from the very start.
Stand up! Together!
Just take it from the top.
One more time, Beginner!
Stand up! Right away!
Try again! Try again!
You'll figure it out somehow!
Tear out those old pages.
Let's start anew!
We can be reborn all the time.
Are we following our dreams?
Do we believe in the future?
Who cares about fear? Who cares about status?
We'll stay as bold as always.
Are we following our dreams now?
With all the innocence of a child...
Let's break free of the chains holding us back.
We can't do anything right.
We can't do it right.
So what?
We're still young.
We can't do anything.
We can't do it yet.
But that just means we're full of potential.
The rain has passed.
The wind has died.
A brand new light
is shining down.
Now is the time.
You've been reborn, Beginner!
❝ANTI❞
between me and my shining goal?
I climb them with all my might
but my dreams remain far away.
I can see the summit of my dreams
from down here, where I stand.
But a narrow, treacherous road still lies ahead of me.
I'll never give up.
That's what I swore that day.
But I'm battered by wind and rain
and grow uneasy.
There will be haters (always)
but that's how stars are born. (someday)
Their harsh words (make me cry)
and keep me up some nights.
There will be haters. (always)
but that means I'm getting popular. (eventually)
I tell myself it's just tough love. (don't cry)
That's what I've always believed.
Ah, please don't bully me.
❝HEART GATA VIRUS❞
I just felt a bit distracted.
All I did was silently nod at what you said.
I knew you were a nice person,
but you totally weren't my type,
so I had no intention of getting close to you...
How and when did it happen?
Before I realized
I'd fallen in love.
Who knows what triggered it?
I can't remember when it started.
It looks like I've been infected
by a heart-shaped virus.
No vaccine can save me now.
I find myself unable
to get you off my mind.
I can hardly concentrate at all.
"I thought that it could never, ever happen.
But it looks like I'm in love with you."
It looks like I've been infected
by a heart-shaped virus.
No vaccine can save me now.
I find myself unable
to get you off my mind.
I can hardly concentrate at all.
❝RIVER❞
0048!
Onwards! Onward!
Straight on Ahead!
Cross that river! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Our dreams always
seem so far off.
It feels like I'll never make it.
Pick up a stone
lying by your feet.
Throw caution to the wind
and hurl it!
Before your eyes,
there flows a river:
A wide and vast river.
It may be deep and dark,
and the current may be strong,
but don't fear.
If it carries you away,
the other shore will catch you.
Have faith in yourself.
Get over it!
River!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Don't make excuses!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
You won't know until you try!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
We have to keep going!
Keep on, keep on, keep on
walking along
the path you chose!
Within your heart,
there flows a river:
A river of sweat and tears!
Even if you fail,
even if you're washed away,
just try again.
Don't falter now.
Hang on to your dreams
until the day they come true.
Cross that river!
You can do it!
❝SASAE❞
two years ago.
All of us were chasing
the same dream.
Our ages
and the towns where we lived
were different
for all seventeen of us.
I couldn't fit in
or make conversation.
I felt so lonely
those first few months.
But after enduring
those tough lessons
side-by-side with the others,
I realized.
My friends are always
right by my side.
I'll never be alone.
Together,
our eyes are fixed on that star.
Having everyone there for me
is what gave me strength.
❝YAKUSOKU YO❞
Someone once said those words.
But if that's all there is,
then why did we meet to begin with?
All people are travelers
who meet and part
in a never-ending cycle.
Each time they gain
memories and new guiding lights.
Come on, don't look at me
with those tearful eyes of yours.
Let me see your smile.
I know that I'll see you again,
someday somewhere out there.
Believe in the power of fate
to bring us together.
I know that I'll see you again,
so until that day,
don't you ever forget about me.
It's a promise.
❝UHHO UHHOHO❞
There's no point in feeling blue.
We come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Let's sing together and have a blast!
We'll gather all our bitterness in our lungs
and blow it out into a balloon.
Once it fills up nice and big,
we'll take a needle and pop it, bang!
You're not the only one who's feeling down.
We all must walk this road of trials.
Come on, let's go wild tonight!
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah-ah! Let out a war cry.
Nobody can get in our way.
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah-ah! Raise your fists! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
And send this gray mood away. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
When people fight with each other,
let's intervene and make them shake hands.
No matter how tangled matters have gotten,
we'll unravel the threads and make it right.
You're not the only one dealing with hardship.
In life, some things will rub you the wrong way.
But fret not, and just empty your mind!
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah-ah! Let's make a racket!
We're going to keep moving forward.
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah-ah! Stomp those feet. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Don't you sweat the small. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! This energy I feel
Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Will give me power.
Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Be like a shooting star.
Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! Ooh-ah! And become one!
❝OOGOE DIAMOND❞
I want you to know
how I feel.
The uncertainty is gone from my heart.
I know what's important now.
Though the answer
is right before my eyes
what held me back as I saw you off?
To make sure I don't lose myself,
I'll listen to my instincts.
I love you. I love you so much.
I'll chase you with all my might.
I love you. I'll always love you.
I'll shout at the top of my lungs.
I love you. I love you so much.
My breath catches in my throat.
I can't hold it in.
This shout-out diamond.
I love you. I love you so much.
I'll chase you with all my might.
I love you. I'll always love you.
I'll shout at the top of my lungs.
May that love reach you.
I love you. I'll always love you.
I'll shout out to the wind.
My breath catches in my throat.
I can't hold it in
this shout-out diamond.
I'll gather my courage and say it.
If I bottle it up, nothing will change.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
There's nothing like the words, "I love you."
There's nothing like the words, "I love you."
Let out all my emotions
so I can be true to myself.
❝KONO NAMIDA WO KIMI NI SASAGU❞
sleeps in the ground.
When the promised time comes,
it shall sprout a bud of hope.
Back when we first met,
our dreams were but seeds.
How long will it take
before they finally bloom?
I offer my tears to you.
If it will help you glow with greater radiance,
then from up here, in this silent sky,
where I've been watching over you,
I shall now fall as rain.
When I closed my eyes,
something warm leaked out from them
and seemed to rise into the sky,
where they floated. Let them become love.
I offer my tears to you.
If it will help you glow with greater radiance,
then from up here, in this silent sky,
where I've been watching over you,
I shall now fall as rain.
Ah, I'll offer them to you.
All that I can right now
is ease the emptiness,
if only a little.
And so, I shall fall as rain.
❝ARUJI NAKI SONO KOE❞
Behold, light shines down through the clouds.
Wanderers strain their ears to hear
and find the power to follow their own paths.
Before me, a hill stretches despairingly high.
But if there's to be a future for me,
I cannot turn my back.
My friend, do you remember?
Here, where we exchanged vows that day,
flowers are blooming in season.
A voice that heeds no master calls.
Behold, the sun has returned,
gradually stripping the land
of the shadows that had gathered.
Headless of any master, now is the time.
Yes, we shall set off on our way.
All of us are frail creatures
seeking the shadow of love
and pushing ever onwards.
❝BOKU DAKE NO VALUE❞
chating over magazines.
There sitting at the outskirts of the circle,
you were smiling.
If we held a popularity contest in our class,
you wouldn't rank high.
At school and at sports, you're about average.
You don't really stand out.
But, for some reason,
I can't stop thinking about you.
That's right, no matter what I go...
You're the one for me.
You can give me all the beauties of the world
but I won't choose them over you.
You're the one for me.
Love is your own diamond.
You find it where you least expect it.
We each have our own value.
I have my own unique value.
❝HOSHI NO MUKOUGAWA❞
lies a single star
where, I've been told,
my true love resides.
When I'm feeling sad,
I turn my telescope
up towards the sky,
searching for love
that still out of sight.
If, off in the distance,
somebody sees me here,
then I'll transcend time,
so that someday,
my message of light will arrive.
I'm right here, don't you ever doubt it.
Even if I squeeze my eyes shut,
I'm not trying to block you out.
I'm just not sure how to react.
I'm waiting for you, don't you ever doubt it.
Even if you forget,
I know
that the fickle dance of fate
will bring me to you.
I'll be right here till the end of time.
Though I may grow uneasy,
it's not because I've lost hope.
I'm simply dreaming.
I'll keep believing till the end of time.
Even if I'm all alone,
when tomorrow comes,
I'll leave my old self behind
and be born anew.
I'm right here, don't you ever doubt it.
Even if I squeeze my eyes shut,
I'm not trying to block you out.
I'm just not sure how to react.
I'm waiting for you, don't you ever doubt it.
Even if you forget,
I know
that the fickle dance of fate
will bring me to you.
Will bring me to you.
