Lyrics

Japanese

瞳を閉じて 思う先は
未来だけさ
見つけられたら そのまなざしは
心解き放てそう

言葉の壁をブチ破って
イメージの世界に飛び乗って
行方知れずの心を 輝ける明日へ
飛ぶんだ Let's get start！

1,2,3で飛ぶんだ！
お好みの羽を手に入れ
淡い風に乗って
Dreamin' sunで光った
虹色に身を任せたら
飛びたてるさ
空の彼方までも行こう
呼ぶ声が聞こえる

瞳を閉じた そのまなざしで
瞳を閉じて そう輝いた日々

Romaji

hitomi wo tojite omou saki wa
mirai dake sa
mitsukeraretara sono manazashi wa
kokoro toki hanate sou

kotoba no kabe wo buchi yabutte
IMAGE no sekai ni tobi notte
yukue shirezu no kokoro wo kagayakeru ashita e
tobunda Let's get start!

1,2,3 de tobunda!
okonomi no wa wo te ni ire
awai kaze ni notte
Dreamin' sun de hikatta
nijiiro ni mi wo makasetara
tobitateru sa
sora no kanata ma demo yukou
yobu koe ga ki koeru

hitomi wo tojita sono manazashi de
hitomi wo tojite sou kagayaita hibi

Song Production Information

Yu Takami

This is a vocal song. I sang it, in addition to performing the Programming, Gt, and Bass.
I love the balance between the live Gt, Bass, and programmed Rhythm, and Synth.
I also wrote the lyrics, but the song was arranged first, so I wrote them with that in mind. It was a relatively abstract, space-like image, so the lyrics are also abstract and vague, but I actually thought of an image when writing it, so I'd be happy if you listened to it and thought of some kind of image.

"Midsummer. Nice weather. An early morning gathering. Then driving straight to the sea by car (on a day trip)!" That's the image for this song, which is the greatest BGM all day! That's what it feels like~, right?
On the other hand, the image of the lyrics and the song is "a pleasant breeze blowing and a plateau with a nice view. Lying down. Closing your eyes because it's dazzling. Furthermore, let's depart to a pleasant world! And oversleeping".
I dreamed of covering and drawing both "world images", but unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was only able to include the song's image.
Well, "if you close your eyes, what do you first think of?"... Everyone, Yu Takami, myself, and the characters that appear in the movie, have a similar direction, but it shouldn't be exactly the same.
So, if you can imagine various things... I think you can appreciate this song's lovely charm in many ways.

By the way, the convertible was GOLI's idea.
It's established in the movie as a rental car, so it's like taking turns to drive it.
When I was a student, I used to go on day trips to the sea with several of my friends in their cars each summer! But I only had one opportunity to ride in a convertible (as a passenger).
It's a different feeling than sitting in a motorcycle and car (with a roof attached), so I was infatuated with its vast spaciousness, and enjoyed traveling in it! I have many memories of this. Due to my personality, I like the experience of traveling in a vehicle more than playing around at the destination...
I've never owned a car, but I want my first car to be a convertible!
Is it OK to say this~? I made these animations while dreaming about it.

Although I aimed for a different style than the Eurobeat car battle movies, I fully realized the difficulty of drawing a movie showing ordinary, everyday life, and there wasn't enough consideration for "a memorable little episode".
