Ado drops the soaring anthem ‘私は最強 (I’M Invincible)’ from her album Adoのベストアドバム. The songwriter 大森元貴 pens the lyrics, while the music comes from the combined work of Motoki Ohmori and Mrs. Green Apple. This pop track mixes an upbeat melody with a powerful declaration of self-belief.
The poet writes with clear, physical imagery to describe finding strength. In one line, Ado sings, ‘my voice carries the little birds into the sky.’ The performer builds on this idea, using the warmth of a friend’s support as the true source of her invincible spirit.
Saa, kowaku wanaiCome on, I’m not afraid.
Fuan wanaiI’ve got no doubts.
Watashi no yume wa minna no negaiMy dream is the wish of everyone here.
Uta utaeba kokoro hareruWhen I sing, the clouds in my heart clear away.
Daijoubu yo watashi wa saikyouI’ll be alright, because I’m invincible.
Watashi no koe gaMy voice,
Kotori wo sora e hakobucarries the little birds into the sky.
Nabiita fuku mo odoriko mitaide saMy fluttering clothes look just like a dancer’s.
Anata no koe gaAnd your voice,
Watashi wo furuitataseruis what stirs my spirit.
Toge ga sasatte shimatta nara hora hora oideIf a thorn has pricked you, come here, just come to me.
Mita koto nai atarashii keshikiA brand new sight I’ve never seen,
Zettai ni mireru nowe’re definitely going to see it.

Ikiterun da kyou mois because I’m still alive today.
Saa, nigiru te to teCome on, let’s join hands,

Minna no yume wa watashi no shiawaseEveryone’s dream is my own happiness.
Aa, kitto doko ni mo nai anata shika mottenaiAh, I’m sure it’s nowhere else, only you possess it.

Watashi ga arukeba seikaiwherever I walk becomes the right path.
Wakatteiru kedoI know how it is,
Hiku ni hikenakute sabut I just can’t bring myself to back down.
Muri wa chotto shite demoEven if I have to push myself a little,
