THANKS, ALL MY TEARS

* Cover

A GREAT FOOL album cover

## Audio

**THANKS, ALL MY TEARS** is a song by Novel Core and the 10th and final track of his first major album A GREAT FOOL.

## Background

**THANKS, ALL MY TEARS** is the lead track of A GREAT FOOL. It was given a digital pre-release on December 8, ahead of the album's release on the 15th.

Novel Core has said it's his favorite song on the album and also his favorite song of his career thus far. "I cried when I finished it, and it's a song that makes my heart ache even when I listen to it now. It's a fight song written from my past self to my future self, so I think it's a song that will be a lifeline for me in the future."

The song's music video also stars BMSG trainee RAN as a featured dancer. Novel Core chose him because RAN is the artist whose soul is most like the song itself, and he wanted to tell the story of the song through the music video. The decision was finalized when Novel Core saw RAN perform in the musical "SING!".

It's structured from two points of view: Novel Core watching from the audience and RAN dancing on stage giving himself over to his emotions and expressing Novel Core's heart.

**Romaji Lyrics + Color Code**
Asa ga tsurete kuru no wa

Kinou wo nazorikaita you na taikutsu na kyou

Haribote no sora ni te wo nobashi

Mu ishiki ni tsuita tameiki

Kono jinsei ga eiga da to surya

Koko wa tobasareru Chapter1

Mina to kurabereba

Ore no nayami nante sa mada chippoke tte ka?

Tenjou ni haritsuita taiyou ni warawarete

Kuyashikute modokashikute

Sore demo ne

Kako ni sugaritsuite

Ima ni shigamitsuite

Ashita ni kitai wo shite

Funbatte aruite yuke

Borokuso ni makete

Namida ga karetemo

Kurushikute sabishikute

Muryokusa ni yararetemo

Kanpeki na rasuto shiin wo

Kiwadataseru no wa

Zetsubou to taikutsu de

Sono tame ni kyou wo ikiru no sa

Yoru ni nareba nokkumo sezu heya no naka ni

Makuramoto ni tatsu ashita no fuan

Ki tsukatte kureru hito ga oukerya oui hodo

Nigeba ga nakunatte iku

Moshimo ima kara ore ga kakugo kimete sa

Jinsei wo oete shimaeba

Ashita no bun no sekinin wa dokka iku yo naa

Nante ne sonna yuuki ima wa nakute

Fumange ni mioroshita tsuki ni sekasarete

Nigetakute nasakenakute

Kono jinsei wo enjikire

Sono tame ni kyou mo ikiru no sa

**English Translation**
The morning brings

Traces of the boredom yesterday

Hands, reaching for the sky

Unconsciously, I sigh.

If this life was a movie

Skip this Chapter 1.

Compared to everyone

Is my worries somehow trivial?

The sun that stuck to the ceiling smiled

Vexed and frustrated

But still

Fixated in the past

Persisted till now

Anticipating the future

Let’s step out and walk

Losing in rags and tatters

Even if my tears dry up

In pain and loneliness

Even if you’re helpless

That perfect final scene

What makes it stand out is

Despair and boredom

That’s why I live today.

Night. With no knock, in my room.

Tomorrow’s anxiety stands by my bedside.

The more people care

The more I have nowhere to run.

If I made up my mind that

I’m going to end this life,

I’ll be responsible for tomorrow.

I don’t have that kind of courage right now.

Moon, discontent, rushes me

I wanted to run away, ashamed.

But still.

Fixated in the past

Persisted till now

Anticipating the future

Let’s act out this life,

Losing in rags and tatters

Even if my tears dry up

In pain and loneliness

Even if you’re helpless

That perfect final scene

What makes it stand out is

Despair and boredom

That’s why I live today.

I live to see another day.

I live to see another day.

**Japanese Lyrics**
朝が連れてくるのは

昨日をなぞり書いたような退屈な今日

はりぼての空に手を伸ばし

無意識についたため息

この人生が映画だとすりゃ

ここは飛ばされる Chapter1

皆と比べれば

俺の悩みなんてさ　まだちっぽけってか？

天井に張り付いた太陽に笑われて

悔しくて　もどかしくて

それでもね

過去にすがりついて

今にしがみついて

明日に期待をして

踏ん張って歩いてゆけ

ボロクソに負けて

涙が枯れても

苦しくて　寂しくて

無力さにやられても

完璧なラストシーンを

際立たせるのは

絶望と退屈で

その為に今日を生きるのさ

夜になれば　ノックもせず部屋の中に

枕元に立つ　明日の不安

気遣ってくれる人が多けりゃ多いほど

逃げ場がなくなっていく

もしも今から　俺が覚悟決めてさ

人生を終えてしまえば

明日の分の責任はどっかいくよなぁ

なんてね　そんな勇気　今はなくて

不満気に見下ろした月に急かされて

逃げたくて　情けなくて

それでもね

過去にすがりついて

今にしがみついて

明日に期待をして

この人生を演じ切れ

ボロクソに負けて

涙が枯れても

苦しくて　寂しくて

無力さにやられても

完璧なラストシーンを

輝かせるのは

絶望と退屈で

その為に今日も生きるのさ

**Mandarin Translation**
曙光带来的是 仿佛从昨天拓出的无聊一天

把手伸向虚拟背景般的天空 无意识地叹了口气

如果人生是部电影 现在就是被忽略的Chapter 1

与大家相比 我的烦恼 也许还相当渺小吧？

贴在天花板上的太阳在笑我 感到悔恨 而又无奈 但我们还是要

揪住昨天 抓紧今天

期待着明天 坚持前进

遍体鳞伤 泪水都已枯竭

感到痛苦 而又孤独 感到无能为力而被击垮

在完美的结局里 用来衬托的是

绝望与无聊 因此今天还要活下去

夜幕降临后 不告而来溜进房间里的是 站在枕边的 对明日的彷徨

关心的人越多 我越无处可逃

如果现在开始 下定决心 终结了人生

明天要肩负的责任也将会飞到远方 开玩笑啦 现在还没有 这样的勇气

被心怀不满的月亮催促着 很想逃避 而又难为情 但我们还是要

揪住昨天 抓紧今天

期待着明天 演绎完人生

遍体鳞伤 泪水都已枯竭

感到痛苦 而又孤独 感到无能为力而被击垮

在完美的结局里 用来点缀的是

绝望与无聊 因此今天也要活下去
