My Answer Meaning & Lyrics (Ryokuoushoku Shakai)
The poet describes ‘a cruel shadow clinging to happiness,’ showing how love persists despite obstacles. Nagaya’s words trace broken paths while repeatedly choosing the same person, creating tension between doubt and devotion.
Kimi ni aeta yorokobi dake de waJust the joy of meeting you,
Kono saki wa tayasuku wa nai neisn’t enough to make the road ahead easy.
Shiawase ni wa zankoku na kage gaA cruel shadow clings to our happiness,
Bukimi na hodo matowaritsuku kobiritsukusticking to us with an eerie persistence.
Yarinaosu ka to jimon jitou shite waI ask myself if I should start over,
Atama no naka de tadoru kaketa michi owhile tracing the broken path inside my mind.
Hora mata nando mo kimi o erabuLook, I choose you again and again,
Kimi ni fureteruas I reach out to touch you.
Futatsu ni hitotsu no answerIt’s the only answer out of two,
Doushitemo kimi o erabuand no matter what, I still choose you.
Unmei to wa yobenakute moEven if we can’t call this fate,
Sore ga kotae darouthat must be the answer.
Nani mo nai yoThere is nothing here,
Kimi ni mukete iru kimochi igaiexcept for my feelings for you.
Nani mo nai no ni saAnd though I have nothing else,
Kono mirai ga wakarete shimatta naraif our future were to split apart,
Watashi nado inaku narusomeone like me would simply vanish,
Inaku natte shimauI would fade away completely.
Mayoi no naka de katamatte yukuSolidifying amidst my hesitation,
Futatsu ni hitotsu no michi gais just one path out of two.
Awai ni omoikaesebaWhen I look back on the space between us,
Kurushii hibi sae mo shiawase dattaeven the painful days were happiness.
Seigi ya futsuu o furikazashite ite waIf we keep brandishing ‘justice’ or ‘normalcy’,
Dou ni mo kou ni mo michibiki dasenaiwe’ll never find the way forward.

Sore ga kotae darouand that must be the answer.
