Lyrics & Translation

Discover the heart of Japanese expression with 'Rashisa' by Official髭男dism. This song is a fantastic way to learn Japanese as it delves into the nuanced concept of 'rashisa' (one's own way/individuality), a key cultural idea. The lyrics are full of powerful, emotional language that captures the universal struggle of self-acceptance and striving to be better, making it a special and relatable piece for any language learner.

[English]
I take pride in every part that makes me who I am—I love it all, even the shadows you’ve cast within me
The talents I lacked, the fragile parts of my heart—but also the strength to dream big and bold
I’m always rushing, the crowd’s footsteps tearing apart my efforts—how many times have I leaned on the darkness you’ve become?
Even the self I’ve grown tired of—wide awake behind this forced blindfold, clinging to "being one-of-a-kind"
“Be realistic, look objectively—it’s hopeless. I’ll never take first place, no way”
I know, I know it all too well
But deep down, instinctively, I just can’t accept it
Why did I end up burdened with such troublesome, misfit strengths?
This thing called “me”—carrying it all, we cried, laughed, and kept competing
Giving everything to what we love—we’ll cry again, laugh again, at this chaotic pace
Because this is all we’ve got
I just wanted to cling to it
I just wanted a place to belong
Even when I win, the future stays bitter
Seriously, what’s the deal? Losing over and over just drags me down
Old memories slow my steps—the worst gifts from the past me and you
Calculating, passive sides—they’re bandages protecting me. Too scared to peel them off
I know
My pride stays brand new, swollen white and itching
Both sides are me and you—both truths, stubborn and cruel
“You started too late”
“The world’s too vast”
“Geniuses are on another level” “Just enjoy yourself, man!”
Ah, shut up—but some days, I still let you win
Well, maybe that’s just me—no unshakable core or ideals here
But I’ve hit my limit—I won’t dance to your tune anymore
I don’t wanna lose to anyone—don’t you dare let this fire die!
This thing called “me”—carrying it all, we cried, laughed, and kept competing
Giving everything to what we love—we’ll cry more, laugh more
Once we’re in position—let’s fight for real this time
This thing called “me”—joy, sorrow, fear, hope, despair, ecstasy… it’s all ours
“I’m so glad”—yeah, I’m glad I lived
