Butter-Fly

**Butter-Fly** is a Japanese song sang by the late Kōji Wada. It is most widely known as the opening song for the original Japanese version of the *Digimon Adventure* show. It was used for *Future*. The original version was used in the opening of *Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna*.

## English Lyrics

I'll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind
I'll come to see you soon
It's best to forget the unnecessary things
There's no more time to be fooling around
What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if we'll reach the skies
But, wow wow wow wow wow I don't even know what my plans are for tomorrow
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness
It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose
Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
I'll become a merry butterfly, and ride on the earnest wind
I'll come to see you where ever you are
Ambiguous words are surprisingly handy
I'll shout it out, while listening to a hit song
What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if it'll echo through this town
But, wow wow wow wow wow There's no use anticipating
After an endless dream, in this miserable world
That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all
Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness
It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose
Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I'm sure we can fly, oh yeah
After an endless dream, in this miserable world
That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all
Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love

## Japanese Lyrics

ゴキゲンな蝶になって　きらめく風に乗って
今すぐ　キミに会いに行こう
余計な事なんて　忘れた方がマシさ
これ以上　シャレてる時間はない
何が　WOW WOW　この空に届くのだろう
だけど　WOW WOW　明日の嵐閧烽墲ｩらない
無限大な夢のあとの　何もない世の中じゃ
そうさ愛しい　想いも負けそうになるけど
Stayしがちなイメージだらけの　頼りない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ　On my love
ウカレタ蝶になって　一途な風に乗って
どこまでも　キミに会いに行こう
曖昧な言葉って　意外に便利だって
叫んでる　ヒットャ塔O聴きながら
何が　WOW WOW　この街に響くのだろう
だけど　WOW WOW　期待してても仕方ない
無限大な夢のあとの　やるせない世の中じゃ
そうさ常識　はずれも悪くはないかな
Stayしそうなイメージを染めた　ぎこちない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ　On my love
無限大な夢のあとの　何もない世の中じゃ
そうさ愛しい　想いも負けそうになるけど
Stayしがちなイメージだらけの　頼りない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ　Oh yeah
無限大な夢のあとの　やるせない世の中じゃ
そうさ常識　はずれも悪くはないかな
Stayしそうなイメージを染めた　ぎこちない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ　On my love

## Trivia

* Although the opening song in the first two tri. movies were overdubbed by Digimon Are Back (Again!), it was used as an insert song from *Confession* and *Loss*.
* The reason the original version of the song was used in *Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna* was because Kōji Wada had passed away in 2016.
