Impetus
Lyrics: Sakamoto Maaya
Composition: Koga Syohei
Arrangement / Performance: yourness
Strings Arrangement: Kouno Shin
Vocals: Sakamoto Maaya
If victory means obtaining something,
Then would letting go be a defeat?
A world where no one is hurt
May well be baseless optimism,
But even so, I still want to try betting on it
On a night with a moon just like tonight’s, I heard the sound of the bell, signalling the moment
It was like the echoes were seeing right through my entire empty self
Anger and grief get passed from person to person in the blink of an eye
They create enemies that don’t even exist, and thus ignite the call to fight
I sprint out, no matter how pointless the reason may be
Heartbeat resounding, searing, rushing
Ears listening only for impetus in its clear, honest truth
Just how far can I continue to put my trust
In absolute justice and unwavering laws,
In the series of coincidences that people call destiny?
Though I can’t say I don’t feel like they’ve already betrayed me long ago
Ah, tracing along the celestial globe, my fingers have touched these constellations countless times
And so it is time for the migratory birds to take off, rising into the red sky of dawn
The future moves boundlessly toward a captivity close to freedom
Once we give up on the act of choice, there’s no turning back
Listen for the sound of the bell
The more I struggle, the more I am bound
The more I wish for, the more is taken away
A world where everyone can forgive each other
May well be baseless optimism,
But even so, I still…
I sprint out, no matter how pointless the reason may be
Heartbeat resounding, searing, rushing
I believe only in impetus, in its clear, honest truth
There, listen for the sound of the bell

Te ni ireru no ga shouri nara
Tebanasu no wa haiboku deshou ka
Dare mo kizutsukanai sekai
Nante kireigoto kamo shirenai
Soredemo mada kakete mitai
Choudo konna tsuki no yoru toki wo tsugeru kane no ne wo kiita
Zankyou wa karappo no watashi zenbu misukashiteru you de
Ikari to nageki wa matataku ma ni hito kara hito e to tewatasare
I mo shinai teki wo tsukuriagete wa tatakae to takitsukeru no
Hashiridasu sono riyuu ga tatoe donna ni kudaranakute mo
Atsuku hayaku hibiku kodou
Usoitsuwari no nai yakudou dake ni mimi wo sumashite
Zettaiteki na seigi toka yuruginai okite wo
Unmei to minna ga yobu guuzen no tsuranari wo
Ittai doredake shinjitsuzukereba ii ndarou
Mou tokku ni uragirareta ki mo shinaku nai kedo
Aa tenkyuugi nazori yubi de nando mo fureta seiza
Sore wa wataridori ga tobitatsu koro yoake no akai sora e noboru
Kagirinaku jiyuu ni chikai fujiyuu e to mukatteru mirai
Erabu koto wo akirametara mou hikikaesenai
Ano kane no ne ni mimi wo sumashite
Aragau hodo shimetsukerare
Motomeru hodo ubawarete shimau
Dare mo ga yurushiau sekai
Nante kireigoto kamo shirenai
Soredemo mada
Hashiridasu sono riyuu ga tatoe donna ni kudaranakute mo
Atsuku hayaku hibiku kodou
Usoitsuwari no nai yakudou dake shinjiteru
Hora ano kane no ne ni mimi wo sumashite

躍動

手に入れるのが勝利なら
手放すのは敗北でしょうか
誰も傷つかない世界
なんて綺麗事かもしれない
それでもまだ賭けてみたい
ちょうどこんな月の夜 刻を告げる鐘の音を聞いた
残響は 空っぽの私ぜんぶ見透かしてるようで
怒りと嘆きは瞬く間に人から人へと手渡され
いもしない敵を作りあげては 戦えと焚きつけるの
走り出すその理由がたとえどんなにくだらなくても
熱く速く響く鼓動
嘘偽りのない躍動だけに耳を澄まして
絶対的な正義とか揺るぎない掟を
運命とみんなが呼ぶ偶然の連なりを
いったいどれだけ信じ続ければいいんだろう
もうとっくに裏切られた気もしなくないけど
ああ 天球儀なぞり 指で何度も触れた星座
それは渡り鳥が飛び立つ頃 夜明けの赤い空へ昇る
限りなく自由に近い不自由へと向かってる未来
選ぶことを諦めたらもう引き返せない
あの鐘の音に耳を澄まして
あらがうほど締め付けられ
求めるほど奪われてしまう
誰もが許しあう世界
なんて綺麗事かもしれない
それでもまだ
走り出すその理由がたとえどんなにくだらなくても
熱く速く響く鼓動
嘘偽りのない躍動だけ信じてる
ほら あの鐘の音に耳を澄まして
...VOICE
