DAIKI(AWSM.) tells a story of personal growth with physical imagery like ‘painting life in your own color.’ The lyricist describes the city turning red as buses stop and work ends. The song offers ‘struggles, pain, and light are the true thrills of the journey.’
Mina ga Special oneEveryone’s a special one.
Tarinai mono wa nai yo doko ni moThere’s nothing lacking, nowhere at all.
Amayadori wa tsumaranai kara ima kaze ni notteSheltering from the rain is boring, so ride the wind now.
Nayami itami hikari tabi no daigomiStruggles, pain, and light are the true thrills of the journey.
Ichido kiri no Life sa suki ni kimiiro niYou’ve only got one life, so paint it however you like in your own color.
Nogashita shuuden seken ni momareteI missed the last train while getting tossed around by the world,
Takushii dai mo dasenai kurai maji nakatta kaneI really didn’t have a cent, not even for a taxi fare.
Tsure to nonde kenka natteI’d drink with my friends and we’d get into fights,
Koe wo hariage katariatta otagai no yumewe raised our voices and talked about each other’s dreams.
Jikan wa attoiu ma ni sugiru hontouTime really flies by in an instant.
Aokusai shashin marude kinou no kotoThose old, amateur photos feel like they were taken just yesterday.
Fuete kita akiramenai to ikenai kotoThe list of things I’ve had to give up on has started to grow.
Shourai da to omotteta kyou ga mukae ni kita zeThe future I once imagined has finally come to meet me today.
Wakasa to ima no jibun wo kurabeteI compare my younger self to who I am now,
Shita wo muita saki ni nani ga an dabut what’s really waiting for me when I’m staring down at the ground?
Daremo ga byoudou ni kizamu juudai nijuudaiEveryone equally carves out their teens and twenties.
Kibou to nazuketa me no mae no misoji ParadiseI’ve named the age of thirty ‘misoji’ right in front of me ‘Hope Paradise’.
I don’t look to the pastI don’t look to the past.
Korekara no hou ga Beautiful wayThe road ahead is a much more beautiful way.
Kutsuhimo musunde mada tooku heI’ll tie my laces and head even further.
Mina ga Special oneEveryone’s a special one.
Tarinai mono wa nai yo doko ni moThere’s nothing lacking, nowhere at all.
Amayadori wa tsumaranai kara ima kaze ni notteSheltering from the rain is boring, so ride the wind now.
Nayami itami hikari tabi no daigomiStruggles, pain, and light are the true thrills of the journey.
Ichido kiri no Life sa suki ni kimiiro niYou’ve only got one life, so paint it however you like in your own color.
Machi no iro ga akaku somari basu ga tomariThe city’s colors turn red as the bus comes to a stop,
Shigoto owari yoru no tobari nukete asa no tonariwork ends, and I slip through the veil of night to reach the morning’s edge.
Kokoro yogoreteku to jibun no umi ni oboreteku yoIf your heart gets tainted, you’ll start drowning in your own sea.
Kokoro purotekuto shiteru to hareta umi ni mogureteru yoIf you protect your heart, you can dive deep into a clear, sunny ocean.
Tenshi to akuma futarigumi no BuddyAn angel and a devil are a two-man buddy team.
Nou no naka de tabi wo shiteru BodyYour body is on a journey inside your own mind.
Sekai no chuushin wa machi no katasumi sora to umi wa kagamiThe world’s center is in a corner of town; the sky and sea are mirrors.
Keii kawasanai hito to hito mo kagamiPeople who don’t show each other respect are also mirrors.
Hikarou hikarou kimi no Phone kimi no PhoneLet’s shine, let’s shine, just like your phone, your phone.
Kimi no Phone mitai ni hikarouLet’s shine just like your phone does.
Mawarimichi mo migi no michi mo kaerimichi mo iki no michi moDetours, the path to the right, the way back, and the way forward—
Sekika shiteta toki ga tokete yatto kiteta ichido kiri nothe frozen time has melted, and this once-in-a-lifetime moment has finally arrived.
Shiki ga someta mimi de dorera ikite irebaIf we’re alive to hear whichever of those seasons colored us,
Hibi no itonami ya irodori wo hiki de mirebaif you look at daily life and its colors from a distance,
Sekai ni ikko no kaiga mo mado no ikkoa single painting in the world is just one window.
Yakei no ikko de uchu ni ikko sore to isshoOne night view is one piece of the universe, and it’s all the same.
Mina ga Special oneEveryone’s a special one.
Tarinai mono wa nai yo doko ni moThere’s nothing lacking, nowhere at all.
