Japanese

今 この両手広げて 空に向かって走り出そう!!
さあ 輝こう 光のように

人ごみに 流され明日に何を求めるの?
造られたレール 歩んでいくだけ?

現実に ばつかるコトに傷つくの恐れないで
逃げ出したい時でも あきらめないで!!

まだ見ぬ明日に  期待したっていいんじゃない?
自分に負けない為に そして信じる為に...

大きく 両手広げて 空に向かってはばたこう!!
自分の強さ いつか誇れるように

今 この両手広げて 明日にこの夢託せるなら
さあ 猫こう いつかの自分

君なら出来る
きっと輝ける
僕には見える
君の光がずっと.....

Romaji

ima kono ryoute hirogete sora ni mukatte hashiridasou!!
saa kagayakou hikari no you ni

hitogomi ni nagasare ashita ni nani wo motomeru no?
tsukura reta RAIL ayunde iku dake?

genjitsu ni batsukaru koto ni kizutsuku no osorenaide
nigedashitai toki demo akiramenaide!!

mada minu asu ni kitai shitatte iin janai?
jibun ni makenai tame ni soshite shinjiru tame ni...

ookiku ryoute hirogete sora ni mukatte habatakou!!
jibun no tsuyosa itsuka hokoreru you ni

ima kono ryoute hirogete asu ni kono yume takuserunara
saa neko kou itsuka no jibun

kimi nara dekiru
kitto kagayakeru
boku ni wa mieru
kimi no hikari ga zutto.....

Long Version

Japanese


今この両手広げて空に向かって走り出そう!
さぁ!輝こうヒカリのように…

人ごみに流され明日に何を求めるの?作られたレール歩んでくだけ?
現実にぶつかることに傷つくの恐れないで 逃げ出したいときでも諦めないで!

まだ見ぬ明日に期待したっていいんじゃない?
自分に負けないために そして信じるために…

大きく両手広げて空に向かって羽ばたこう!
自分の強さいつか誇れるように

今この両手広げて明日にこの夢託せるなら
さぁ!描こういつかの自分…!

知らぬ間に心の奥に閉じ込めているよ 『君』という価値のある存在を
現実は僕らを試している だからこそ踏み出して! 生きてる 証(いみ)あることを忘れないで

その笑顔なら胸張って歩いていけるよね?
自分に自信を持って! そして見つめてみて!

大きく両手広げて空に向かって羽ばたこう!
ずっと眠ってた 魂(こえ)呼び覚まして!
今この両手広げて 未来(あす)にこの魂託すのなら
そう!今しかないこの 時代(とき)を…

僕らの今を 僕らの夢を
僕らの全て 愛すること信じて
君ならできる きっと輝ける
僕には 映(み)える 君の光がずっと…

今この両手広げて空へ…

大きく両手広げて未来へと…
いつまでも…
叶うなら…

Trivia

Song Production Information

BeForU Official Website

NAOKI

I created a rough track of BeForU's new song "Firefly" in L.A for MAX, and there was a public contest for titles and an open recording with fans, so I think I was able to find a new way to create something different. For "Firefly", each of the four BeForU members wrote the lyrics and chorus part, and we discussed them over and over again. Actually, I thought of something when I saw the lyrics of this song.
I think everyone who plays DDR and listens to my music is also busy everyday with things like school and work, right? When people encounter various obstacles in such daily life, I think they overcome them one at a time and mature. "Firefly" is a great song to support everyone who lives by fighting such obstacles everyday. (laughs) It's what I call a cheering song, I think? In terms of sound, you may not be able to hear the finer sounds at an arcade, but I think the song's scale is conveyed when listening to it on a CD.
