Lyrics

Japanese

ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 追いかけてもうひとつ落っこちた
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ひとつだけ残ってる

心臓が始まった時 嫌でも人は場所を取る
奪われない様に 守り続けてる

汚さずに保ってきた手でも 汚れて見えた
記憶を疑う前に 記憶に疑われてる

必ず僕らは出会うだろう 同じ鼓動の音を目印にして
ここに居るよ いつだって呼んでるから
くたびれた理由が 重なって揺れる時
約束は果たされる
僕らはひとつになる

Romaji

GLASS dama hitotsu otosareta oikakete mou hitotsu okkochita
hitotsu bun no hidamari ni hitotsu dake nokotteru

shinzou ga hajimatta toki iya demo hito wa basho wo toru
ubawarenai you ni mamoritsuzuketeru

yogosazu ni tamottekita te demo yogorete mieta
kioku wo utagau mae ni kioku ni utagawareteru

kanarazu bokura wa deau darou
onaji kodou no oto wo mejirushi ni shite
koko ni iru yo itsu datte yonderu kara
kutabireta riyuu ga kasanatte yureru toki
yakusoku wa hatasareru
bokura wa hitotsu ni naru

English

A single glass marble fell, followed by another
In a patch of sunshine made for one, only one remains

When a person's heart starts beating, 
they assume a place, even if they don't want to
and they stay to protect that place, so no one takes it away

Even hands that you've kept clean will appear dirty
before you have a chance to doubt your memory
your memory will doubt you

I'm certain we'll meet one another,
our hearts which beat the same and will mark the way
'cause I'm right here, always calling out to you
When all the old reasons start to lose their ground
We will finish the promise
And become one

Song Production Information

Jin Senbonmatsu

Impressive melodies and unique singing.
Also noteworthy are the lyrics. The abstract and story-like lyrics make you feel as if you are reading a picture book.
There are as many picture books as there are listeners. I think each of them will have a different ending.

Video Production Information

Asato Mifune
