haru no kaze ga kono senaka o oshite
atarashī michi o arukidasu
itsuka egaita mirai no tsudzuki wa
ima kara riaru ni naru

kitto hajimekara umaku ikutte omowanai kedo
fuan ni naru soredemo waratte iyō
sō mune ni kimeta

sutātorain sakura ga mau kono michi
mita koto nai ashita to yume ni ai ni ikō
kinō yori mo sukoshi hayaoki suru asa ni mo
sono uchi nareru darō

sā ikō koko kara hajimatteiku
atarashī nakama to mirai ga matteiru
mae dake o mitsumeru ima wa mada furimukanai
sō kyō wa masshirona massarana sutātorain

machi wa azayaka ni irodzuite ite
nantonaku ashibaya ni saseru
itsuka egaita mirai no tsudzuki to
mō sugu deau nda ne

fui ni kyonen tonari de waratteta minna no koto
omoidasu kedo ganbatteru hazu to
mune o shigeki shita

sutātorain yawarakai kono hizashi wa
tomadoi ya fuan o kirameki ni kaeta
haki narenai kutsu mo mada kinarenai fuku mo
itsuka wa niatte kuru yo

sā susumō mirai ga yonderu kara
sei ippai me ippai mune o hatte arukō
kanau hazu to shinjite takaku tobō to kimeta
sō koko wa masshirona massarana sutātorain

sutātorain sakura ga mau kono michi
mita koto nai ashita to yume ni ai ni ikō
kanau hazu to shinjite takaku tobō to kimeta
sō koko wa sutātorain

sā ikō koko kara hajimatteiku
atarashī nakama to mirai ga matteiru
mae dake o mitsumeru ima wa mada furimukanai

masshirona massarana sutātorain

春の風がこの背中を押して
新しい道を歩き出す
いつか描いた未来の続きは
今からリアルになる

きっと始めから上手くいくって　思わないけど
不安になる　それでもわらっていよう
そう胸に決めた

スタートライン　桜が舞うこの道
見た事ない　明日と夢に会いにいこう
昨日よりも少し早起きする朝にも
そのうち慣れるだろう

さあ行こう　ここから始まっていく
新しい仲間と　未来が待っている
前だけを見つめる　今はまだ振り向けない
そう今日は　真っ白な　真っ新なスタートライン

街は鮮やかに色づいていて
なんとなく足早にさせる
いつか描いた未来の続きと
もうすぐ出会うんだね

ふいに去年隣でわらってた　みんなの事
思い出すけど　がんばってるはずと
胸を刺激した

スタートライン　柔らかいこの日射しは
戸惑いや不安を　きらめきに変えた
履き慣れない靴も　まだ着慣れない服も
いつかは似合ってくるよ

さあ進もう　未来が呼んでるから
精一杯　目一杯　胸を張って歩こう
叶うはずと信じて　高く翔ぼうと決めた
そうここは　まっしろな　真っ新なスタートライン

もう迷わない　笑いたいから

スタートライン　桜が舞うこの道
見た事ない　明日と夢に会いにいこう
叶うはずと信じて　高く翔ぼうと決めた
そうここは　スタートライン

さあ行こう　ここから始まっていく
新しい仲間と　未来が待っている
前だけを見つめる　今はまだ振り向かない
そう今日は　真っ白な　真っ新なスタートライン
真っ白な　真っ新なスタートライン

The spring breeze pushes against my back
As I walk a brand new path
Someday I'll draw the future's continuation
And it will become reality from then on

Surely, I don't think it will work out right from the start but
I become anxious but still let's laugh
That's what I have decided
Starting line; the path where the cherry blossoms dance
In the yet unseen tomorrow and in dreams, let's meet up
Even in the morning I woke up a bit earlier than before
Eventually, I'll get used to it

Now let's go starting from right here
New friends and the future are waiting
I'll only look forward, now I won't look back
That's right, today is a pure white and brand new starting line

The town is painted in vivid colors
Somehow it puts a beat in my step
Someday I'll draw the future's continuation
And soon I'll go meet it

Suddenly, everyone that laughed beside me last year,
I remember them but I should do my best
I encourage myself

Starting line; this gentle sunshine
Change my confusion and unease into sparkles
Shoes not worn in and clothes that don't quite fit yet
Someday they will suit you

Now let's keep going because the future calls
With all your might walk with your chest held high
Believe it will come true and decide to soar high
That's right, here is a pure white and brand new starting line

I'm no longer lost because I want to smile

Starting line; the path where the cherry blossoms dance
In the yet unseen tomorrow and in dreams, let's meet up
Believe it will come true and decide to soar high
That's right, here is the starting line

Now let's go starting from right here
New friends and the future are waiting
I'll only look forward, now I won't look back
That's right, today is a pure white and brand new starting line
A pure white and brand new starting line
