Japanese

La la la la ・・・・

それなりという日常に 「私」を失くした
周りとの違いさえ解からなくなっていた

本当の自分を探し出す為
重い扉の鍵を開けて　解き放った

まるで導かれるように　光へと走り出して
この場所を見つけた瞬間 「私」が始まった

・・・・ あれはあの頃の姿？
誘惑の波に攫われ　溺れている・・・・

流されて何を残せるの？
夢に負けない未来を　この手で　創りたい!

確かな想いの欠片が　少しずつ目覚めてゆく
この場所に今　新たな 「私」が始まった

Romaji

La la la la....

sorenari to iu nichijou ni "watashi" wo nakushite
mawari to no chigai sae wakaranakunatteita

hontou no jibun sagashi dasu tame
omoi tobira no kagi wo akete toki hanatta

maru de michibi kareru you ni hikari e to hashiri dashite
kono basho mitsuketa toki "watashi" ga hajimatta

....are wa ano koro no sugeta?
yuuwaku no nami ni sara ware oboreteiru....

nagasarete nani wo nokoseru no?
yume ni makenai mirai wo kono te de tsukuritai

tashikana omoi no kakera ga sukoshi zutsu mezamete yuku
kono basho ni ima aratana "watashi" ga hajimatta

Long Version

Japanese

La la la･･･

それなりという日常に 「私」を失くした
周りとの違いさえ 解らなくなっていた

笑い合っては過ぎてゆく居場所にも
いつしか苛立つ感情が芽生えてた
だから本当の自分を探し出す為
重い扉の鍵を開けて 解き放った

まるで導かれるように 光へと走り出して
この場所を見つけた瞬間（とき） 「私」が始まった

そして あれからどれくらい走ってきたんだろう？
今の私は 遥か長いこの道を往く

景色は綺麗なモノばかりじゃなくて
時には不安に心を奪われるよ
だけど流されて何を残せるの？
夢に負けない未来を この手で創りたい

確かな想いの欠片が 少しずつ目覚めてゆく
あの光に届くまで 走り続けたい

景色は綺麗なだけじゃないと知った
幾度不安な心 押し退けてきた
流されたままに決まるより
夢に負けない未来を この手で 創り出してみせる！

確かな想いの欠片が 少しずつ目覚めてゆく
この場所に今新たな 「私」が始まった

行く手にどんな深い迷路が 待ち構えていても
止まらず扉を選んでは 開いてゆくだろう
あの日には もう戻らない
いつかは本当の 「私」に出逢いたい

Song Production Information

NAOKI

"I am" is Miharu Arisawa's first solo debut song, who's one of BeForU's new members.
Actually, this song is created by TЁЯRA WORKS (I'm in charge of the song and arrangement, jun writes the lyrics).
I finished this song when I was tired of making 4-beat programmed music.
Perhaps it's slightly distant from IIDX, but I hope Miharu Arisawa's growth will fascinate you in the future, who intended to release a pop-rock styled song for her IIDX debut.

Miharu Arisawa

"I am" became quite a strong song filled with my feelings.
Somehow, when I received the lyrics, I instantly thought, "I am now..".

"A normal life with nothing"
"Just attending school"
"The same thing repeats every day"

At that time, I was relieved to be in sync with the people around me.

Therefore, I boldly opened the door.
And found the light.

I personally thought the light at that time referred to everyone.
Guided by the light everyone extended to me, it's the beginning of who I am now.

In this PV video, there's a slightly different me than my usual self that's always seen in my diary entries.
This is also one of my appearances.

"I am" is a song synchronized with my feelings.
When you lose track of your feelings, by all means, please try and listen to this song.
I'm sure you'll take steps in order to find your new self.

Video Production Information

yagi-denko

I finished this movie after many difficulties & worries, and I became deeply attached to it in various ways.
In order to show that speed unique to NAOKI, I felt very stressed.
I continuously made and discarded it.
Eventually, this appeared.
What do you think?
