恐らく気付いてしまったみたい

あくびの色した毎日を

丸ごと映画の様に変える

種と仕掛けに出会えた事

仲良くなれない空の下

心はしまって鍵かけて

そんな風にどうにか生きてきた

メロディが重なった

小さくたっていい 街のどんな灯よりも

ちゃんと見つけられる 目印が欲しかった

この目が選んだ景色に ひとつずつリボンかけて

お土産みたいに集めながら続くよ 帰り道

季節が挨拶くれたよ 涙もちょっと拾ったよ

どこから話そう あなたに貰った この帰り道

歩いて歩いて 時々なんか急いで あなたに向かう道を

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

走って走って いやいややっぱ歩いて あなたに向かう道を

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Hey

Osoraku kizuite shimatta mitai

Akubi no iro shita mainichi wo

Marugoto eiga no you ni kaeru

Tane to shikake ni deaeta koto

Nakayoku narenai sora no shita

Kokoro wa shimatte kagi kakete

Sonna fuu ni dounika ikite kita

Melody ga kasanatta

Chiisakutatte ii machi no donna akari yori mo

Chanto mitsukerareru mejirushi ga hoshikatta

Kono me ga eranda keshiki ni hitotsu zutsu ribon kakete

Omiyage mitai ni atsume nagara tsuzuku yo kaerimichi

Kisetsu ga aisatsu kureta yo namida mo chotto hirotta yo

Doko kara hanasou anata ni moratta kono kaerimichi

Aruite aruite tokidoki nanka isoide anata ni mukau michi wo

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hashitte hashitte iyaiya yappa aruite anata ni mukau michi wo

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hey

I think I'm beginning to realize

That every day is yawn-colored

Changing like the scenes of a movie

By the time I figure out the trick

I'm at odds with the sky above

I've closed up my heart and turned the key

That's how I've been living until now

Then our melodies overlapped

Even if it's smaller than any other light in the city

I wanted a guiding light that I could find, no matter what

Placing a ribbon on each of the scenes my eyes picked out

I continue on my way home, collecting them like souvenirs

The seasons greeted me and I even picked up a few tears

How should I begin to describe this way home you've given me?

Walking, walking... hurrying sometimes on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Running, running... ah, maybe I should walk after all on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hey

こうなるべくしてなったみたい

通り過ぎるばっかの毎日に

そこにいた証拠を探した

メロディが繋がった

そうしてくれたように 手を振って知らせるよ

迷わないでいいと 言ってくれたように

どこからどんな旅をして 見つけ合う事が出来たの

あなたの昨日も明日も知らないまま 帰り道

土砂降り 一体何回くぐって 笑ってくれたの

月より遠い世界から辿ってきた 帰り道

歩いて歩いて いつの間にか急いで あなたに向かう道を

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

走って走って 恥ずかしくなって歩いて あなたに向かう道を

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hey

I think I'm beginning to realize

That every day is yawn-colored

Changing like the scenes of a movie

By the time I figure out the trick

I've closed up my heart and turned the key

That's how I've been living until now

Then our melodies overlapped

Even if it's smaller than any other light in the city

I wanted a guiding light that I could find, no matter what

Placing a ribbon on each of the scenes my eyes picked out

I continue on my way home, collecting them like souvenirs

The seasons greeted me and I even picked up a few tears

Walking, walking... hurrying sometimes on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Running, running... ah, maybe I should walk after all on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

It seems things are how they're meant to be

Every day just passes me by

I searched for proof that you were there

And the melody connected us

I'll wave to you, just like you did to me

Like the time you told me, "There's no need to feel lost"

Where did we come from, where did we go, in order to find another?

I know nothing of your yesterday, or your tomorrow, on this way home

How many times have you smiled at me through the downpour?

From a world farther away than the moon, I've followed this way home

Walking, walking... hurrying before I know it on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Running, running onward... feeling embarrassed, then walking again on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hey

Placing a ribbon on each of the scenes my eyes picked out

I'll continue on my way home, collecting them like souvenirs

The seasons greeted me and I picked up even more tears

How should I begin to describe this way home you've given me?

Where did we come from, where did we go, in order to find another?

Your yesterdays and tomorrows adorn the sky, on this way home

Placing a ribbon on each of the scenes my eyes picked out

From the ends of the universe, I follow this way home

Walking, walking... stumbling, but playing it cool on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Running, running... walking when my heart feels too full on this road to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah

Hey

## Comments

**──How did you feel when you were chosen to sing the opening theme song?**

It was a work that all the members enjoyed reading, so I was very honored when I received the offer.
I watched the 1st season of the anime every week, and while I was filled with anticipation for the 2nd season, at the same time, I felt that I had to do my best with the theme song.

**──What are your thoughts on the original manga "SPY x FAMILY"?**

It's a stage that's almost completely different from the world we live in, but there were many points where I could sympathize with the feelings of the various characters who live there, and it made me laugh and cry many times.
The Forgers are very charming, and their attitudes toward their fake family often make me angry.
This is the family I want to see forever.
I'm just curious as to what will happen next.

**──What is the name of the song and your thoughts on the music?**

I wrote how I feel about the listeners I meet at the live venue, likening it to the road leading to an important place.

**──Please give a message to those who are looking forward to the anime.**

I can't wait for the second cour, and I want to watch over the activities of the Forger family with everyone.
We hope you will enjoy our song "SOUVENIR" along with the opening animation. All the members are very impressed with the very nice animation.
