NEW ME

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

目を輝かせて

Want to see your eyes shining bright

楽しいことを見つけられてる？

Are you finding things that make you happy?

探し続けることが大切よ ねぇ

It's important to keep searching, you know

叶わないままで

Even if it doesn't come true

消えそうな願いごとあったでしょう

There were wishes that almost disappeared, right?

涙は次の夢を連れてくるから

Because tears bring your next dream

胸に残る熱を 抱きしめてあげてね

Hold close the warmth in your heart

どんな悩みさえ 遠ざかる朝はくる

A new morning will come, overcoming any worries

Cry in the night, cry in the night

Cry in the night, cry in the night

たとえ深い闇にいても

Even if you're lost in darkness

暗いんじゃない 怖いんじゃない

It's not that you're dark or afraid

ヒカリを知るためのチャンスだよ

It's a chance to find your light

「つまらない」なんて 指先スクロールしてる間に

While scrolling through your finger and thinking 'boring'

幸せ また一つ見逃すよ

you're missing out on happiness just one more time

悔しくなって 怒りもがいたり

Getting frustrated, feeling angry and struggling

虚しく嘆いても

Or lamenting uselessly

「こんなもんじゃない」って さぁ、叫んじゃえ！

Shout out, saying 'It’s not like this!'

見上げた この宇宙だって あなたのものよ

Look up—this universe belongs to you, too

Start line, start line

Start line, start line

いつだってその足元だよ

Always, it’s right there under your feet

上じゃない 他所じゃない

Not above, not somewhere else

前へ！ あの夢も追い越して

Move forward! Surpass that dream

不時着の惑星にも 地球外の夜明けにも

To planets that crash land or dawn outside Earth

誇れるものひとつ持って 旅を続けよう

Carry something to be proud of and keep traveling

Soundtrack, soundtrack

Soundtrack, soundtrack

飽きるほど 奏でるのオーケストラ

Play your orchestra to exhaustion

いつでも いくつでも

Anytime, however many times

やってやれ！ 私の愛しい人

Go for it! My loved one

Good luck, good luck

Good luck, good luck

さぁ、行こう

Now, let's go

未来"NEW ME"に会いに行こう

To meet the new 'ME' in the future
