My Tomorrow

My Tomorrow - AiM (Ai Maeda)

Saa Ima koso hashiridase Chizu ni wa nai basho e

Osoreru mono nante nani mo nai

Chiisa na mune ni wa Yuuki dake tsume konde

Ame no naka Hitorikiri

Poketto no naka wa karappo da keredo

Watashi wa mae dake mite iru

Michi no tobira hiraite Sekai no mukougawa e to

Susume Susume Mou mayowanai

Saa Ima koso hashiridase Chizu ni wa nai basho e

Osoreru mono nante nani mo nai

Ashita wo tsukuru no wa Ima shika nai kara

Tobitate Haruka naru my tomorrow

Biru no tanima kara Kaze ga fukinuketeku

Hoshi sae mo Kieta yoru

Nigirishimeta te wa Furuete iru kedo

Watashi wa sora wo miageteru

Nagareru toki no naka de Hontou ni hoshii mono wo

Tsukame Tsukame Tamerawazu ni

Toumei na kagayaki ga Watashi wo tsutsumu hi ga kuru

Kitto kitto Kawareru kara

Saa Ima koso hashiridase Eranda kono michi wo

Yoku nita mono nante Hoshikunai

Mirai wo tsukuru no wa Watashi dake dakara

Mezamero Atarashii My Tomorrow

Saa Ima koso hashiridase Eranda kono michi wo

Yoku nita mono nante Hoshikunai

Mirai wo tsukuru no wa Watashi dake dakara

Mezamero Atarashii My Tomorrow

 

[English Translation]

C'mon, start running now, to a place that's not on maps
Things to be afraid of, there are none

Only courage can be put into a little chest
In the rain, I'm alone
The insides of my pockets are empty
But I'm only looking forward

Open the unknown door to the other side of the world
Advance, advance, I'm not lost anymore

C'mon, start running now to a place that's not on maps
Things to be afraid of, there are none
Because it's only the now that can create tomorrow
Take off, My faraway Tomorrow

From the valley of buildings, the wind blows through
On a night when even stars disappeared
My clenched hands are trembling
But I'm looking up at the sky

In the flowing time, to the things that I truly want
Hold on, hold, unhesitatingly

The day when the clear brilliance will envelope me will come
Because surely, surely, I'll be able to change

C'mon, start running now, on this path that I chose
Not something that looks like it, I wouldn't want that
Since only I can create the future
Wake up, My new Tomorrow

Start running now, on this path that I chose
Not something that looks like it, I wouldn't want that
Since only I can create the future
Wake up, My new Tomorrow

============================================= 

Hi. Just a 'theme song' to what I'm feeling after my title as a student has been relinquished automatically after completing yesterday's exam. Take a look at the translation of the song and you'll see what I mean.

To my understanding the song speaks of one who is optimistically looking forward for their future ahead, despite thinking that they might not really be prepared for it. They assure themselves that there are nothing to be afraid about, and that only by taking that one step ahead we can chart our course for a better tomorrow.

Truly inspirational. And that comes from an anime theme song.

***
P/S: the language flow of the translated version of the song might be a bit awkward and jerky at times, but that's because the translator has translated the song word for word. And the video shows the shortened version of the theme song.
