Harujion / ハルジオン

**Harujion / ハルジオン** is the third single released by YOASOBI on May 11, 2020. Being based on Hashizume Shunki's **Soredemo** (Happy End), this song illustrates the hard times of a girl who has just recently parted with her love, but she soon learns to move on from it.

This was a big breakthrough for the duo because this would be the first time that they ever partnered with a professional writer instead of using a story written on their usual website, Monogatari. Something else new was that the song and story were actually used as an advertisement for an energy drink company, Zone.

Commercially, Harujion reached a peak of 10 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

過ぎてゆく時間の中

あなたを思い出す

物憂げに眺める画面に映った二人

笑っていた

知りたくないほど

知りすぎてくこと

ただ過ぎる日々に呑み込まれたの

それでもただもう一度だけ会いたくて

あなたの言葉に頷き信じた私を

一人置き去りに時間は過ぎる

見えていたはずの未来も

指の隙間をすり抜けた

戻れない日々の欠片とあなたの気配を

今でも探してしまうよ

まだあの日の二人に手を伸ばしてる

境界線は自分で引いた

「現実は」って見ないフリをしていた

そんな私じゃ

見えない見えない

境界線の向こうに咲いた

鮮烈な花達も

本当は見えてたのに

知らず知らずの内に

擦り減らした心の扉に鍵をかけたの

そこにはただ美しさの無い

私だけが残されていた

青過ぎる空に目の奥が染みた

あの日の景色に取りに帰るの

あなたが好きだと言ってくれた私を

誰にも見せずに

この手で隠した想いが

今も私の中で生きている

目を閉じてみれば

今も鮮やかに蘇る景色と

戻れない日々の欠片が

映し出したのは

蕾のまま閉じ込めた未来

もう一度描き出す

あの日のあなたの言葉と

美しい時間と

二人で過ごしたあの景色が

忘れてた想いと

失くしたはずの未来を繋いでいく

戻れない日々の続きを歩いていくんだ

これからも、あなたがいなくても

あの日の二人に手を振れば

確かに動き出した

未来へ

Mirai e

In the passage of time

I think of you

The two of us languidly staring at the screen

Where we were laughing

The more I don’t want to know

I get to know too much

Every passing day leaves me drowning

But one more time I just want to see you

I believed in your words and nodded my head

You left me here alone and time passed by

The future that I could have seen

Slipped its way through my fingers

The shards of those old days I can’t go back to

And the hint of you

Even now, I’m looking for them

Reaching out my hand to us on that day

I drew the border line by myself

I pretended to look away from reality

If I’m like this

The brilliant flowers

Blooming behind the border

I can’t see them, can’t see them

But I think I could

Before even realizing it

I locked the worn-out door to my heart

There was nobody else but me

With nothing beautiful around

The sky that was too blue stung my eyes

Now I’ll go back to the view of that day

When you told me you loved me

I covered up my feelings with my hands

So nobody could see them

They have remained on the inside

When I close my eyes

Even now

A flashback of the breathtaking landscape

And the shards of those old days I can’t go back to

Reflect the future that has been shut in a bud

I’ll draw it once again

The words you said to me that day

All the beautiful moments

The beautiful view where we used to be

Reconnect our forgotten memories

To the future I thought we lost along the way

We're walking down the road that leads on from those days

From here on out, even if I don’t have you

We waved back my hand to those old days

And we started to move

Towards the future
