**Mari • Shirase • Hinata • Yuzuki**
(Mari/Shirase) Nagai tonneru no deguchi wo sagashite ita

(Hinata/Yuzuki) Kasukana hikari no nioi ga shiteru hou e

Machigatte mo waraeru sa

Koko kara hajime you boku wa tabi ni deyou

Yogoreta manmaru no biidama nigirishimete

Ienakatta kotoba mo kitto mitsukaru yo

Baka ni saretatte kamawa nai shinjite yukou

(Hinata/Yuzuki) Dare nimo barezu ni hadashi de oyogu sakana

(Mari/Shirase) Tsukue ni hirogete chirakatta yabou no mama de

Doki doki zutto kieruna!

Koko kara hajime you sekai wo mi ni yukou

Aoi sora ni nageta saikoro no me no mama ni

Nagarete iku kisetsu mo asu e tsuzuku nara

Tomaru toki made tomaru na zutto kono mama

Karamaru hitome wo nuke

(Mari/Shirase) Nichijou no kabe tobi koete

(Mari/Shirase/Hinata) Koronde dekita kizu sae

Motto aiseru nara

Koko kara hajime you boku wa tabi ni deyou

Yogoreta manmaru no biidama nigirishimete

Ienakatta kotoba mo kitto mitsukaru yo

Baka ni saretatte kamawa nai shinjite yukou

Soshite kimi ni tsugeru sono hi made

Douka sachi are!

長いトンネルの出口を探していた

かすかな光の匂いがしてる方へ

間違っても　笑えるさ

ここから始めよう　僕は旅に出よう

汚れた真ん丸のビー玉　握りしめて

言えなかった言葉も　きっと見つかるよ

バカにされたって構わない　信じてゆこう

誰にもバレずに裸足で泳ぐ魚

机に広げて散らかった野望のままで

ドキドキ　ずっと消えるな！

ここから始めよう　世界を見にゆこう

青い空に投げた　サイコロの目のままに

流れていく季節も　明日へ続くなら

止まるときまで止まるな　ずっとこのまま

絡まる人目を抜け

日常の壁　飛び越えて

転んでできた傷さえ

もっと愛せるなら

ここから始めよう　僕は旅に出よう

汚れた真ん丸のビー玉　握りしめて

言えなかった言葉も　きっと見つかるよ

バカにされたって構わない　信じてゆこう

そして君に告げる　その日まで

どうか幸あれ！

We were searching for the exit to a long tunnel,

Following the faint scent of the light.

Even if we mess up, we can still smile!

Let’s start anew from here. I’ll depart on this journey,

Clutching my dirty, perfectly round marble.

I’ll surely find the words I couldn’t say before.

I don’t mind if anyone makes fun of me. I’ll just keep believing!

Like a fish swimming barefoot, unbeknownst to anyone,

We’ll leave our scattered ambitions spread all over our desks.

I hope this feeling of excitement never goes away!

Let’s start anew from here. Let’s go see the world!

Following the outcome of the dice we toss up to the sky.

If even the flow of seasons continues to tomorrow,

Don’t stop until the time has come. Keep going like this forever!

Slipping past the web of onlookers,

Jump over the wall of our every day lives.

Once we learn to love even the scars

From each time we fell down.

Let’s start anew from here. I’ll depart on this journey,

Clutching my dirty, perfectly round marble.

I’ll surely find the words I couldn’t say before.

I don’t mind if anyone makes fun of me. I’ll just keep believing!

Then I’ll tell those words to you. Until that day,

I wish you all the best!
