MISSION/MAZZEL

## Audio

**MISSION** is the first digital single by MAZZEL released as their pre-debut song on March 31, 2023. It is the group's version of the same song originally by SKY-HI.

## Background and Release

**MISSION** was the theme song for audition documentary program MISSIONx2 through which MAZZEL was formed.

It was introduced to the audition's 10 finalists during the third and final screening of their training camp where they were split into two groups to perform the song.

Following the audition, MAZZEL's final lineup re-recorded the song for their pre-debut. It had been previously released by SKY-HI on his album THE DEBUT.

MAZZEL's version was selected as the theme song for the Japanese version of the film *Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves*, also released on March 31.

Machiwabita

Toki ga kita

Mou zettai ni hanasanai Never let go

Shunkan ni kakero Never let go

Unmei wo kaero

Fumidashita

Sono ashi ga

Ikudo furueteita toshitemo

Nankai datte jibun wo hoero

Stand up

Utsumuku hima nante nai

Dareka no me wa kankei nai

Jibun kara nigeta toki koso saigo

Wake up

Kizutsuita kazu wo hokori to yobunda

Kachimake nante No

Me wo sorasazu ikireruka douka

Saita yume no hate ya

Satta omoi no kakera

Kitto ima wa mienai mieyashinainda

Tatta ichibyou datte

Honno hitotoki datte

Kagayaku tame ni umaretekita

Jibunshidaida nante subete wakatterunda

Dareka ja nai jibun ga mada soko de matteru kara

Kantan ja nai nara fukanou ja nai

Kotae wa mada nai ima umareru no sa

Hito wa daremo ga mikansei

Dakarakoso mina hikatteru

Ana nante nai michi wa anzen?

Tobukoto wo wasureruda nante nansensu

Every step, Every way mugamuchuu de yuke

Kono jinsei de dake wa pasu nante dekinai

Kokoro subete kaketeru

Erabanakatta miraigoto kureteyare

Saita yume no hate ya

Satta omoi no kakera

Kitto ima wa mienai mieyashinainda

Tatta ichibyou datte

Honno hitotoki datte

Kagayaku tame ni umaretekita

Jibunshidaida nante subete wakatterunda

Dareka ja nai jibun ga mada soko de matteru

Jibunshidaida nante subete wakatterunda

Dareka ja nai jibun ga mada soko de matteru kara

Kantan ja nai nara fukanou ja nai

Kotae wa mada nai ima umareru minogasuna

**English Translation**
This is the moment

we've been waiting for

Don't ever hold back Never let go

Fight every moment

Never let go

Change your destiny

No matter

how many times

your feet trembled

shout out yourself over and over

Stand up

No time to look down

how others see you doesn't matter

If you run away from yourself it's over

Wake up

The number of wounds I call it pride

Winning or losing doesn't matter no

Whether you could live without looking away

The end of a dream that bloomed

fragment of a lost wish

I can't see them yet how can I possibly see

Even for a second

even if it's just for a moment

I was born to shine bright

I know it's all up to me

Not someone else it's me who's still waiting there

It's not easy then it's not impossible

There's no answer it's born now

Everyone is incomplete

That's why we all shine

Is a paved road really secure?

Forgetting how to fly that's nonsense

Every step, every way lose yourself

You can't slip away from this life

I'll bet my heart

Go take away the future I didn't choose

The end of a dream that bloomed

fragment of a lost wish

I can't see them yet how can I possibly see

Even for a second

even if it's just for a moment

I was born to shine bright

I know it's all up to me

Not someone else I'm still waiting there

I know it's all up to me

Not someone else it's me who's still waiting there

It's not easy Then it's not impossible

There's no answer it's born now

Don't miss out

This is the moment

we've been waiting for

Don't ever hold back never let go

Fight every moment

Never let go

Change your destiny

No matter

how many times

your feet trembled

Shout out yourself over and over

Shout out yourself over and over

**Japanese Lyrics**
待ち侘びた

時が来た

もう絶対に離さない Never let go

瞬間に賭けろ

運命を変えろ

踏み出した

その足が

幾度震えていたとしても

何回だって自分を吼えろ

Stand up

俯く暇なんて無い

誰かの目は関係ない

自分から逃げた時こそ最後

Wake up

傷ついた数を誇りと呼ぶんだ

勝ち負けなんてNo

目を逸らさず生きれるかどうか

咲いた夢の果てや

去った想いのカケラ

きっと今は見えない　見えやしないんだ

たった一秒だって

ほんのひと時だって

輝く為に生まれてきた

自分次第だなんて全てわかってるんだ

誰かじゃない　自分がまだそこで待ってるから

簡単じゃない　なら不可能じゃない

答えはまだない　今生まれるのさ

人は誰もが未完成

だからこそ皆光ってる

穴なんて無い道は安全？

飛ぶことを忘れるだなんてナンセンス

Every step, Every way　無我夢中で行け

この人生でだけはパスなんて出来ない

心全て賭ける

選ばなかった未来ごとくれてやれ

咲いた夢の果てや

去った想いのカケラ

きっと今は見えない　見えやしないんだ

たった一秒だって

ほんのひと時だって

輝く為に生まれてきた

自分次第だなんて全てわかってるんだ

誰かじゃない　自分がまだそこで待ってる

自分次第だなんて全てわかってるんだ

誰かじゃない　自分がまだそこで待ってるから

簡単じゃない　なら不可能じゃない

答えはまだない　今生まれる　見逃すな

待ち侘びた

時が来た

もう絶対に離さない Never let go

瞬間に賭けろ

運命を変えろ

踏み出した

その足が

幾度震えていたとしても

何回だって自分を吼えろ

何回だって自分を吼えろ
