[Verse]
Koko ni atsumatta
Hitori de wa nai
Hitotsu ni natta
Aitsu mo koitsu mo
Dokoka de tsunagatteru
Mada mada soko ja nai
Nantoka naru sa
Kimi wa hitori janai
[Pre-Chorus]
Kurayami ni mayotte
Kage no naka de mitsuketa
Nando mo taorete mo
Soko kara wa hajimaranai
[Chorus]
Makeru wake ga nai sa
Sorezore no yume e
Tachiagatte yuke
Osore wa shinai sa
Mirai wa mukou e
Tomaru wake ga nai
Chinmoku wa shinai sa
Kotoba no nai sekai e
[Refrain]
Susumi tsudzukete yuke
Akirame wa shinai sa
Kanashimi no hate e
Tomaru wake ga nai
[Bridge]
Mekurumeku yoru ga kuru
Yume no naka no yume
Kono yoru o norikoete
Kimi no moto e
[Chorus]
Makeru wake ga nai sa
Sorezore no yume e
Tachiagatte yuke
Osore wa shinai sa
Mirai wa mukou e
Tomaru wake ga nai
Chinmoku wa shinai sa
Kotoba no nai sekai e
[Refrain]
Susumi tsudzukete yuke
Akirame wa shinai sa
Kanashimi no hate e
Tomaru wake ga nai
My Vision for "Hitotsu ni Naru Uta"
As the lyricist and composer of "Hitotsu ni Naru Uta," my aim was to create more than just a song; I wanted to craft an anthem of connection and unwavering spirit. When you listen to it, I hope you feel a profound sense of not being alone, and that our collective journey forward is unstoppable.
The Heart of the Song: Unity and Resilience
The core message I intended to convey is that we are stronger together. I want "Hitotsu ni Naru Uta" to be a reminder that even when faced with darkness or when we stumble, there’s an inherent power in our interconnectedness. It's about finding strength not just within ourselves, but also in the shared experiences and dreams of others.
The mood I strived for is deeply inspirational and resolute. I wanted the music and lyrics to uplift you, to stir a sense of courage, and to instill a belief that no obstacle is too great when we face it united. Despite acknowledging the struggles, the song always pushes towards hope and progress.
What I Hope You Feel
* In the Verses, I aimed to create a feeling of coming together. When you hear "Koko ni atsumatta / Hitori de wa nai" (Gathered here / Not alone), I want you to immediately feel a sense of belonging.
The idea that "Aitsu mo koitsu mo / Dokoka de tsunagatteru" (That guy, this guy / Connected somewhere) is meant to broaden that feeling – we're all linked, whether we realize it or not.
And with "Kimi wa hitori janai" (You are not alone), I'm speaking directly to you, offering comfort and reassurance.
* The Pre-Chorus is where I wanted to acknowledge the universal experience of struggle. "Kurayami ni mayotte / Kage no naka de mitsuketa" (Lost in the darkness / Found within the shadows) speaks to those moments when you feel lost, but also hints at the quiet strength found even in difficult times.
The line "Nando mo taorete mo / Soko kara wa hajimaranai" (Even if you fall many times / It doesn't start from there) is my way of saying: don't dwell on the falls. True beginnings happen when you choose to rise.
* The Chorus is the song's rallying cry. "Makeru wake ga nai sa" (There's no way we'll lose) is meant to be an unshakeable declaration of collective strength.
I envisioned the music here swelling, empowering you to "Tachiagatte yuke" (Stand up and go).
The phrase "Tomaru wake ga nai" (There's no way we'll stop) is designed to be relentless, driving you forward.
"Chinmoku wa shinai sa / Kotoba no nai sekai e" (We won't be silent / Towards a world without words) is a particularly profound thought for me – it speaks to a deeper understanding, a harmony that transcends the need for spoken language. It's about reaching a place of pure, intuitive connection.
* The Refrain is designed as a persistent affirmation. "Susumi tsudzukete yuke / Akirame wa shinai sa" (Keep moving forward / We won't give up) acts like a mantra, reinforcing the commitment to perseverance.
I wanted you to feel the determination to push "Kanashimi no hate e" (To the end of sorrow), leaving sadness behind as we journey on.
* In the Bridge, I introduced a more poetic and introspective moment. "Mekurumeku yoru ga kuru / Yume no naka no yume" (Dizzying night comes / A dream within a dream) is meant to evoke the intensity of challenges or even a spiritual awakening. It hints that there are deeper layers to our aspirations.
Ultimately, it’s about overcoming whatever "this night" represents and finding our way "Kimi no moto e" (To your side) – reaching a place of true connection and belonging.
My Hope for You
Through the repetition of key phrases and the rising energy of the melody, I want the song to build within you a profound sense of resolve. The contrasts between darkness and light, falling and standing, are there to highlight the journey and the triumph.
"Hitotsu ni Naru Uta" is my offering to you – a song intended to be an anthem for personal strength, community solidarity, and the unwavering human spirit. I hope it inspires you to embrace your own power, recognize the connections you share with others, and never stop moving towards your dreams.
What parts of the song resonate most with you, and what feelings does it evoke?
