Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

この時代が　誰かの手に動かされてるなんて
あの日の私は　そんな事さえも
忘れかけていたんだ

独りの静寂が怖くて　鏡を見た
やっと気付き始めた
『私』の存在

たった一度くらいは　未来（あした）を賭けてみたかい？
現実を計るなんて　ほんの言い訳に過ぎない

何か出来ない　訳じゃない
何も出来ない　筈はない
そう　君だって　この世界の中
Just one existence！

このままで終わらせるの？
これからもそこに居るの？
鏡に何を映すの？
答えは近くにあるよ

たった一度くらいは　未来を賭けてみせたい！
この瞬間（とき）に何を残せるのか
君に見せたい

Long Version

Japanese

今　悩んでいる私達　迷っている君達へ 自分を自分自身に変える　旅に出ようよ I believe your existence ここから全てが始まる　――――― この時代が　誰かの手に動かされてるなんて あの日の私は　そんな事さえも 忘れかけていたんだ 独りの静寂が怖くて　鏡を見た やっと気付き始めた 『私』の存在 たった一度くらいは　未来（あした）を賭けてみたかい？ 現実を計るなんて　ほんの言い訳に過ぎない 「大切なのは　信じる事と　想いを貫く事」 あの日の私は　その意味さえも 飲み込めずにいたんだ 溜め息を積み上げて　何が動き出すの？ 思い出してみて欲しい 『私』の存在 たった一度くらいは　未来を賭けてみたかい？ 問いかけた鏡には　嘘はつけない もしも　たった一つ　確かな想いを見つけたなら 胸張って　言えるはず 「そう、これが私だ」と このままで終わらせるの？ これからもそこに居るの？ 鏡に何を映すの？ 答えは近くにあるよ たった一度くらいは　未来を賭けてみたかい？　 現実を計る事で　言い訳していた だから　たった一度くらいは　未来を賭けてみせたい！ この瞬間（とき）に何を残せるのか 君に見せたい ここから全てが始まる・・・・ Believe your existence

Song Production Information

NAOKI MAEDA

This is the third song in the HYPER J-POP series, and unlike the previous work "North wind", it combines TRANCE, ROCK, and POP together, my main style of music in recent years.

Looking back on the past, I may have been too negative and sensitive... perhaps.
Even though my positive dance and ROCK tunes are seen at a surface level, there are those who recognize that several of my songs are surprisingly sentimental.
The view within my mind is narrow, and I can't see the future... Ever since I realized this, I always say this to myself and the other lyricists and vocalists involved in my work, "I want you to focus on the positive lyrics, and the hopes and dreams felt within the serious content".

I think the lyrics of "1/6billionth", written by jun, convey such feelings.
Believe me, they're not inauthentic lyrics made from the request of professional content...

"TЁЯRA" songs are not created by me alone, but are only made possible with jun's singer and songwriter talent.

jun

"1/6billionth".
The ever-growing world's population.
There are approximately 6.2 billion people that inhabit this earth right now.
Even he, she, I, even you are "one" of them.
That's what I mean.

(In that case, I should say "1/6,200 million (perhaps?)", but the title became "1/6billionth".... (whoops).)

I wish I could enter my dreams, but because of various real circumstances, I tried to convince myself that it's impossible as the days and months passed by.
And then think "What if, at that time....", even those who accomplished their dreams are part of the same "1/6billionth".

That's why they are questions I always ask myself.
This makes me feel as if other people are separating right and left.

"Have you tried betting on the future just once?
Measuring reality is just an excuse..."
