SOU HITO GA YOSASOU NA KAO
that’s right, even sudden
DE YATTE KURU
tragedies come
TOTSUZEN NA HIGEKI MO
looking good-natured, without
UTAGAU KOTO WA NAKU
cause for suspicion
NAGEKIGOTO SEZU DAMATTA MAMA DE
don’t complain, just shut up
UE O MIAGERUNDA
and look up
DONNA ARIFURETA SHIIN
i’ll stay in character no matter
MO ENJI-TSUZUKERU
how ordinary the scene is
YUME TOKA KIBOU TOKA IN MAENISA
before any talk of dreams or hope
KITTO DARE NITOTTE MO
it’s probably the same
ONAJI KOTO DAROU
for everyone
YOU MUST FIGHT AGAINST YOURSELF
THE SUN SETA AND A NEW DAY COMES
REPEATING IS ONE CHANGE
DON’T AVERT EYES FROM DIFFERNECES
YOUR NERVE AND SOUL TO THE LIMIT
GO FORWARD NOW
HARITSUMETA PURESSHAA TONARIAWASE DE
standing next to the taunt pressure
DARE YORI MO DAITAN FUTEKI NI WAROU
i’ll laugh more boldly and fearlessly than anyone
KITTO DARE NI TOTTE MO
it’s probably the same
ONAJI KOTO DAROU
for everyone
YOU MUST FIGHT YOURSELF

TOUKU O MITERU SONO MANAZASHI WA
your eyes that look far off, into the distance
KOKORO NO NAKA NO KOE O KITERU
they’re listening to the voice within your heart
MADA AOI TSUKI O DAKISHIMETE
embracing a moon still blue
HASHIRI-TSUZUKERU KIMI NO TSUYOSA GA
your stength to keep on running will open another new door for you
MATA ATARASHI TOBIRA O HIRAKU
illuminate the night that dawns too soon
SUGU A KERU YORU O TERASHIDASE
even alone, i want to keep on believing in you
TATOE HITORI DE MO KIMI NO
it’s in such a moment that
KOTO SHINJITE ITAI
this world would begin to stir
SONNA SHUNKAN NI KONO
what should we be
SEKAI WA UGOKIDASU
searching for?
NANI O MITSUKETE YUKOU
send out your soul
KOKORO O HAKIDASHITE
we’ll meet here again someday, if that’s the truth
MATA KOKO DE AERU YO
upon what should we
SORE GA SHINJITSU NARA
fix our gaze?
NAMI O MITSUMETE IYOU
the reality that i reached out
KONO TE O SASHIDASHITE
and grabbed with my hand
TSUKANDA GENJITSU O
LET IT GO, SHINJIYOU
let it go, let’s believe it

[MS_Yumiko]

SOSHITE KONO SORA AKKAKU SOMETE MATA KURU TOKINI KONO NI DE SUSUMU DAKE
and so, as i dye this sky red, i proceed through time yet to arrive with this body of mine
SURECHIGATTEIKU HITO MO MAGIRENAKU SHITA MONO MO
the ‘people’ who we walk past and undistinguished ‘things’
ITSUKAWA KIEUYUKU TOKI
…are all memories that will disappear
ATSUKU YURUGASU TSUYORISA HAKANAKU YURERU YOWASA
‘strengths’ swaying with devotion and ‘weakness’ swaying in vain
SHOSEN ONAJI MIRAI
are all part of the same future
SONNA NICHIJYOU KOUKA WO TOKASHI ARAWARERU HI KURERU SEKAI
such a world, melting away the red haze of daily life as the sun sets
KAZE NI NABIKASE SEN WO HIITE NAGARERU YOUNA KAMISAKI TEKI WO SASU
let the wind determine where to draw the line...spear the enemy with the flowing hair tip
FURIKITTA OMOI MINAGIRU YUME
as i shake off my thoughts while dreams overflow
SUBETE WA IMA KONO TE DE SHIMEI HATASHITE YUKU DAKE
all that’s required is for me to complete my mission with my own hands

[MS_Yumiko]

YOAKE UMAREKURUMONOYO
the one who will be born at dawn
KESHITE MIUSHINAWANAIDA
don’t lose sight, no matter what happens
YOU ARE YOU, SHOUJOYO IMAKOSO
you are you, girl now is the time
FURIHODOKI TACHIAGARE
untie all, and stand strong
MUNENO KIZU WO KAKUSHITAMAMA KAZE WO KIRI SUSUMU KIMI WO
as you tear through the winds while you hide the scars of your heart
TADA MIMAMORU SUBE NADO NANIMO NAI
there is no way to just watch over you
SONO HITOMI WA ZUTTO SAKI NO JIBUN WO SAGASHITE IRU NO?
are those eyes of yours looking for the you in the far future?
DEMO KIKOERUYO FUKAI KANASHIMI NO KODOU GA SAKENDERU
but i can’t hear it, the heart of deep sadness is calling out
I AM JUST, YOAKE MAE NO KURAYAMI GA
I AM JUST, the darkness before dawn decides one’s fate FOR one’s life
ISSHOU WO UNMEI ZUKERU
it’s all right, girl, now is the time
DAIJYOUBU SHOUJOYO IMAKOSO
there’s no reason to regret or be ashamed
KUYAMI HAJIRU KOTO WA NAI FAR AWAY…
carring a cross… FAR AWAY
JYUUJI WO SEOI SHINUKI DE HONOU WO KAKERO
risk your life as you run through the flames

[MS_Yumiko]

ASAHI GA NOBORU TO KASUKA NA KIBOUGA
at sunrise, a faint hope
DAICHI NI KAGE O NABASU
throws its shadows on the ground
ZERO DA TO OMOTTTA KOKORO NO ZAHYOU GA
the coordinates of my heart i had thought
BONYARI MIETE KURU
were at zero become hazily visible
JIBUN NO CHIKARA O MOU ICHIDO SHINJITE
believing in my power once more
HIKARI NO CHIZU O DAITE
embracing the map of light
MATA KORO KARA ARUIKIDASOU
let’s again start walking from here
HIKARI NO CHIZU O HIROGE
opening the map of light
KAO O AGETE MABUSHII ASU E
looking up to a brilliant tomorrow

[MS_Yumiko]

SETSUNAI SETSUNAI YASASHISA O
i can feel you
ANATA O KANJITERU
your heart rending gentleness
MACHITSUZUKETE ITA YUME NI MITA
dreaming, i have been waiting
NAMIDA O YURUSHITE
please forgive my tears
KANASHIMI KOETE TOWA NI SASAGETA INOCHI O
the life i gave by overcoming my sadness, even if it
SHINU YORI TSURAI KEN NI HIKISAKARETEMO
is torn by the sword that is more painful than death
SAVE MY LOVE
ANATA NA NOZOMU TADA HITOTSU NO MICHI NARA
if this is the one path which you desire
SAY GOODBYE
AI TO FUSHIGI NA SADAME NO MAMA NI
i will follow the fate of love and mystery, i embrace the warmth that
SHIZUKANI SHIZUKANI KIETE YUKU
queitly, QUIETLY disappears
NUKUMORI DAKISHIMERU
colder than the stars is
HOSHI YORI TSUMETAI SONO HOKORI KIENAI HOHOEMI
your pride and everlasting smile just as you fly away
MAHOU NO HANE O TSUKETE HABATAKU YOU NI O
on wings of magic
JIYUU TO TAKAI SORA O TE NI IRETA NO NE
you attain freedom and the open skies
SAVE MY LOVE
ANATA O SUKUU TADA HITOTSU NO MICHI NARA

until the rebirth, the day i am forgiven
