Rainbows after the rain and valiantly blooming flowers spread colour about;
I fell in love with you that day, as you gazed up at the crimson sky.
Not even an instantaneous frame,
Of this dramatic film will fade... 'cause I'll carve it all into my heart.
It was you, it was you! The one who made me realize;
If we can make even the darkness shine, it will become a starry sky.
Stop hiding your sadness behind a smile,
'Cause every one of these twinkling stars will shine upon you.
The morning light I greeted, having forgotten to even sleep, was stingingly bright,
But even the tenseness carried by my headache subsided when I saw you.
A silent romantic;
Like sugar melting into black tea, as your voice swirls throughout my body.
It was you, it was you! The one who gave me this smile;
If we can make even tears shine, they'll become shooting stars.
Your hand has been hurt, but don't ever let go again;
From a sky filled with wishes, tomorrow will come.
The light that led me was you, and I was pulled along into a run;
Before I knew it, we were beginning to cross paths: now's the time! If we can shine here..
It was you, it was you! The one who made me realize;
The darkness will come to an end.
It was you, it was you! The one who made me realize;
If we can make even the darkness shine, it will become a starry sky.
Stop hiding your sadness behind a smile,
'Cause every one of these twinkling stars will shine upon you.
Is the answer always born of coincidence? Necessity?
The path we can choose is what will end up as our fate
The hopes and concerns you clutched so tightly will surely move us forward to become one with the light.

Ameagari no niji mo rin to saita hana mo irozuki afuredasu
Akane-iro no sora aogu kimi ni ano hi koi ni ochita
Shunkan no DORAMACHIKKU FIRUMU no naka no hito-koma mo

Nemuri mo wasurete mukaeta asahi ga yatara to tsukisasaru

雨上がりの虹も　凛と咲いた花も　色づき溢れ出す
茜色の空 仰ぐ君に　あの日　恋に落ちた
瞬間のドラマチックフィルムの中の１コマも
消えないよ　心に刻むから
君だよ　君なんだよ　教えてくれた
暗闇も光るなら　星空になる
悲しみを笑顔に　もう隠さないで
煌めくどんな星も　君を照らすから
眠りも忘れて迎えた朝日が　やたらと突き刺さる
低気圧運ぶ　頭痛だって　忘れる　君に会えば
静寂はロマンティック　紅茶に溶けたシュガーのように
全身に巡るよ　君の声
君だよ　君なんだよ　笑顔をくれた
涙も光るなら　流星になる
傷付いたその手を　もう離さないで
願いを込めた空に　明日が来るから
導いてくれた　光は　君だよ
つられて僕も　走り出した
知らぬ間に　クロスし始めた
ほら　今だ　ここで　光るなら
君だよ　君なんだよ　教えてくれた　暗闇は終わるから
君だよ　君なんだよ　教えてくれた
暗闇も光るなら　星空になる
悲しみを笑顔に　もう隠さないで
煌めくどんな星も　君を照らすから
答えはいつでも　偶然？必然？
いつか選んだ道こそ　運命になる
握りしめたその希望も不安も
きっと２人を動かす　光になるから
