Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou / 続 夏目友人帳 Opening Theme
hashiri dase mae wo muite
kajikamu te de sora ni egaita
kimi no mirai ni shukufuku no akari tomosu
kiri hirake sono te de
kikoeteru kai? kono koe ga
sunao ni waraeru koto dakishime
ima hashiri dase
Start running, look forward!
With numb hands, I drew in the sky
The light of blessing shines on your future
Cut through it with your hands
Can you hear my voice?
I hold onto the fact I’m able to laugh honestly
Start running now!
sukoshi dake otona no iro ni somaru yubisaki
terekusasou ni sotto kakushite
hoozue tsuita kimi mitsumeteru shisen no saki ni
chiisana tsubomi ga yura yura
My fingertips, dyed a mature colour
Embarrassed, I secretly hid them
You were resting your chin on your hands,
at the end of your glance,
a small bud was shaking
ne boku nante zutto mayoi bakari de
ano hi okutta kotoba ima sara omoi dasu
Hey
I’m always hesitating
I remember those words I said only now
hashiri dase mae wo muite
kajikamu te de sora ni egaita
kimi no mirai ni shukufuku no akari tomosu
kiri hirake sono te de
kikoeteru kai? kono koe ga
sunao ni waraeru koto dakishime
ima hashiri dase
Start running, look forward!
With numb hands, I drew in the sky
The light of blessing shines on your future
Cut through it with your hands
Can you hear my voice?
I hold onto the fact I’m able to laugh honestly
Start running now!
“mukashi wa yokatta” nante iitaku wa nain da keredo
torikaeshitai omoi mo arun da
boku no senaka wo osu minagiru shisen no boku wo
mebuita tsubomi ni kasanete
I don’t want to say things like “The old days were good”,
but there are memories I want to get back too
The myself that pushes me from behind fills my vision,
overlapping with growing buds
toki wo koete mata itsuka
ano hi wo hokoreru you ni
hidari mawari no tokei mou hitotsu motte iku yo
kiri hirake sono te de
waraeteru kai? jibun rashiku
yuzurenai omoi nigiri shimete
ima hashiri dase
I’ll overcome time, so that someday I can
be proud of that day again
I’ll carry an anticlockwise clock too
Cut through it with your hands
Are you laughing? That’s just like you
I hold onto the feelings I can’t give up
Start running now!
ne boku nante ima mo mayoi bakari de
ano hi okutta kotoba ima sara omoi dasu
Hey
Even now I’m always hesitating
I remember those words I said only now
kimi iro ni mirai somete
Dye the future your colour
hashiri dase mae wo muite
kajikamu te de sora ni egaita
kimi no mirai ni shukufuku no akari tomosu
kiri hirake sono te de
kikoeteru kai? kono koe ga
sunao ni waraeru koto dakishime

Start running, look forward!
With numb hands, I drew in the sky
The light of blessing shines on your future
