Not actually Komachi’s theme. Definitely the best song from this album. Many thanks to Eiki Shiki for giving me the  long awaited lyrics, though I am somewhat sad they weren’t written by Tsukiyama Sae, who writes some of my favourite lyrics second to Haruka from Alst. These still aren’t too bad though. If you like this song, check out Fire from Alstroemeria Record’s album “Of Memories”.

Notes: I wasn’t sure how to take the line 「信じ続けてる想いが揺らいでしまう前に」. Translated literally it’s “Before the feelings you continue to believe in end up swaying” but I don’t think that really fits in with either the previous or following lines.

kinou mo ashita mo koko ni wa nai kara
minna to waratte sugoshita ano hi e

There’s no such thing as yesterday or tomorrow here,
so towards that day I spent laughing with everyone

残された想い　誰よりも優しく抱き締めて
喧騒の中で前に踏み出す勇気になるの
繋がる世界を求めて　高く飛び立てるなら
まだまだ終わらないよ

nokosareta omoi dare yori mo yasashiku daki shimete
kensou no naka de mae ni fumi dasu yuuki ni naru no
tsunagaru sekai o motomete takaku tobi dateru nara
mada mada owaranai yo

By embracing abandoned feelings more tenderly than anyone else,
they turn into the courage needed to step forward amid all the noise
If you can fly off high in search of connected worlds,
there’s no way it’ll end anytime soon

辛い悲しみ　私に聞かせて
儚き理想を夜明けに掲げて

tsurai kanashimi watashi ni kikasete
hakanaki risou o yoake ni kakagete

Let me hear what causes you pain and grief
Uphold your fleeting ideals in the dawn

駆け抜けて逝く閃光を　忘れない想いを
見つめ続け何時の間にか追いかけ　空へと
伸ばした手が触れ合えたら　逢えるかな　何時かは
皆が側にいたことを繰り返し思い出す

kake nukete yuku senkou o wasurenai omoi o
mitsume tsudzuke itsu no ma ni ka oi kake sora e to
nobashita te ga fure aetara aeru kana itsu ka wa
minna ga soba ni ita koto o kuri kaeshi omoi dasu

Continuing to stare at the racing flashes and feelings I won’t forget,
before I knew it I was chasing them into the sky
I wonder if I’ll be able to see you when our outstretched hands can touch each other someday
Repeatedly I remember that everyone was by our side

ぞんざいな日々は心の影を色濃くするの
信じ続けてる想いが揺らいでしまう前に
ルールは誰かと解り合う合言葉になって
夢を見続けてるの

zonzai na hibi wa kokoro no kage o irokoku suru no
shinji tsudzuketeru omoi ga yuraide shimau mae ni
ruuru wa dare ka to wakari au aikotoba ni natte
yume o mi tsudzuketeru no

Rough days make the shadows of your heart stand out
Continue to have faith before your feelings end up swaying
Rules become passwords that let people understand each other
and we continue to dream

面と向かって　向き合う強さを
出逢えた喜び　伝えたかったよ

men to mukatte muki au tsuyosa o
de aeta yorokobi tsutaetakatta yo

I wanted to convey you the joy of having been able to met
the strength to meet each other face to face

イチかバチかの閃光を焼き付けて　その目に
一番星を指差して　面影探して
ノイズ混じりの思い出が解けてく気がして
似ている誰かを重ねて　もう一度描いてく

ichi ka bachi ka no senkou o yaki tsukete sono me ni
ichiban boshi o yubi sashite omokage sagashite
noizu majiri no omoide ga hodokete ku ki ga shite
niteiru dare ka o kasanete mou ichido egaite ku

Burning the hit-or-miss flash into your eyes
Pointing out the first star to appear and searching for your whereabouts
Getting the feeling that my noise-mixed memories are coming undone
I will draw somebody similar again once more
