Lyrics

Japanese

強くありたいと願っていた
強さの意味もわからずに
確かなものなど見つからない
信じる力がないなら

一歩一歩踏み出す度に
高鳴る鼓動は鳴り響く　空へと…

とまらない気持ち解き放てば
光輝く道が広がってく
震えだすその手に明日への願い
握りしめて歩き出せ

帰らぬ明日に捕らわれるより
光輝く道に照らされたい
固く握った手に明日への願い
永遠に離さぬように

Romaji

tsuyoku aritai to negatteita
tsuyosa no imi mo wakarazu ni
tashika na mono nado mitsukaranai
shinjiru chikara ga nai nara

ippo ippo fumidasu tabi ni
takanaru kodou wa narihibiku sora he to...

tomaranai kimochi tokihanateba
hikari kagayaku michi ga hirogatteku
furuedasu sono te ni asu he no negai
nigirishimete arukidase

kaeranu asu ni torawareru yori
hikari kagayaku michi ni terasaretai
kataku nigitta te ni asu he no negai
eien ni hanasanu you ni

For iNO-san and the IIDX series, this is the third song.
Now, compared to the previous two entries, I decided to incorporate a little more brightness.
I humbly thank all of you.

Video Production Information

GOLI

In my early childhood, I would mistake "radiance" as "resistance".
Radiance is not a word that we use in our language, so I felt that the song title made sense here.

I'll be honest however.
I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG

The rhythm is good. The configuration is good. The tempo is good. The song is good. The lyrics are good.
The HYPER version of the song is very fun, I really do like it.

This may be the best song 96 has made.
I'm pleased to see him getting better.

I do like seeing more good songs for IIDX being made.
It's nice to see the music take an upward route.
I do have some personal incentive to this, but I really don't want to reveal too much.

For the movie, I tried to make it resemble that of previous movies.
I tried to make it like looking at a light spinning about.

I wanted to capture the feeling of "not being bound by tomorrow, but to follow the light of your own path".

Listening to the lyrics, I imagined a clock with an hour and minute hand, spinning round and round, never deviating nor escaping their route.

In the image, the orange-haired girl's name is Noriyuki Hariko but I nicknamed her "Bitter Orange".
If she becomes popular, I might expand on her history a bit more.
