Lyrics

Japanese

星屑の砂漠　繋いで歩いた
夢に　埋もれたいって思うと
I PROMISE FOR LIFE
声にならない時でも
せめて「愛してる」と　伝えたい

ずっと　探し続けた　幾夜　絶望に暮れた
今　こんなに　涙　溢れるのは
君が見せてくれた　奇跡

星屑の砂漠　二人を照らして
夢を　永遠へと変えてゆく
I PROMISE FOR LIFE
君が隣にいるから
遥か遠い未来が　眩しい

両手に　掬い切れなくて
指の隙間から　零れ落ちる　欠片達
それでも最後に　一つ残された結晶（やくそく）を
胸に抱いて　歩いてゆこう

Romanji

Hoshikuzu no sabaku tsunaide aruita
Yume ni umoretai tte omou to
I PROMISE FOR LIFE
Koe ni naranai toki demo
Semete "Aishiteru" to tsutaetai

Zutto sagashitsudzuketa ikuyo zetsubou to kureta
Ima konna ni namida afureru no wa
Kimi ga misete kureta kiseki

Hoshikuzu no sabaku futari o terashite
Yume o eien e to kaete yuku
I PROMISE FOR LIFE
Kimi ga tonari ni iru kara
Haruka tooi mirai ga mabushii

Ryoute ni sukui kirenakute
Yubi no sukima kara kobore ochiru kakeratachi
Sore demo saigo ni hitotsu nokosareta yakusoku o
Mune ni daite aruite yukou

Song Production Information

Sound/Naoki Maeda

I like old ballads.
R&B ballads, especially ones from the 90s, have a place in my heart.
At that time, they really appealed to me.

In the past, I've made some ballads for these games, but they never really seemed to fit in.
So yes, the challenge for TЁЯRA was to make one.
I think a lot a people were surprised by this?

Above all, a ballad allows me to express my feelings.
How do these words do that....

Vocal/jun

This is my first ballad in IIDX.
Is this a surprise to you?

This song is another one in NAOKI's body of work.
When I listened to a demo of it, the warm and gentle melodies grabbed my attention.
I imagined myself in front of a landscape.

Light, pale clouds... a fantastic location.
Whiteness surrounds the rest of the landscape.
In it, we walk hand in hand.
Silence, except for the echo of out footsteps.

I thought this area would be in a desert.
I imagined two people, pledging their eternal love together.
This image, which I tried to keep in my mind, helped me in writing the lyrics.

...by the way, the title, Promise for Life ...

...doesn't really have a meaning to it.

It was a bit of a "trick". It was a first attempt for people to solve it.
Surely, it was a surprise to you.

Tip.

Branch out.
