Prologue

Digital Cover

"**Prologue**" is a song by JO1. It was released as a digital single on October 11, 2021 as the ending theme song of the anime *BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS*. Due to Kinjo Sukai's hiatus, the group promoted the song without him, however he still recorded the song with them.

The song was later released in the group's 5th single *WANDERING*, being the title track of the anime version. A special video was uploaded on the group's official YouTube channel on December 11, 2021 as part of JAM WEEK. The version used here differs slightly from the version in the digital single and the track used in *WANDERING*, with Kinjo's lines being re-recorded by other members.

Day by day

失って気づくのさ

過去があるから 今があるんだって

思い切りさ 泣いてみてもいいんだよ

そう 涙の数は今よりきっと

前に進むプロローグ

君は一人じゃない

まだ見ぬ闇 越えて

この壁も 傷も この夢も 道も

君となら歩き出せる

終わらない夜はない

運命よ 輝け

嵐の日は 教えてよ

思い出を一つ 迎えに行くから

互いに痛みを分かち合うのさ

鼓動が高まるほうへ向かえば

何もかもがマジ So shine

無敵レベルだね Go sign

だからSlowでいい Slowでいい

僕がいる

そう 覚悟の数は今よりきっと

前に進むプロローグ

君は一人じゃない

誇れる人がいる

この壁も 傷も この夢も 道も

あなたなら歩き出せる

変わらない僕がいる

この道を 信じて

嵐の日は 教えてよ

思い出を一つ 迎えに行くから

きっと きっと 1つになる

そう僕等の夢

君の手 握って

光途切れぬ場所へゆこう

そう...

君は一人じゃない

まだ見ぬ闇 越えて

この壁も 傷も この夢も 道も

君となら歩き出せる

終わらない夜はない

運命よ 輝け

嵐の日は 教えてよ

思い出を一つ 迎えに行くから

**Translation**
Day by day

You only realize once you lost it

Because the past exists, the present also exists

To your heart's content, it's okay to cry

Yes, there'll surely be more tears later on

The prologue moves onwards

You aren't alone

There's still beyond the darkness yet to be seen

Even these walls and wounds, these dreams and paths

I'll walk down them with you

Endless nights don't exist

Destiny, shine on us

Tell me about your stormy days

Because I'll bring back your memories one by one

We understand each other's pain

If you head towards where your heartbeat beats loudly,

Everything will shine so much

You're at an invincible level, go sign

So going slow is okay, going slow is okay

I'm here

Yes, there'll surely be more preparing later on

The prologue moves onwards

You aren't alone

You're someone to be proud of

Even these walls and wounds, these dreams and paths

You can walk down them

There's me who won't change

Believe in this path

Tell me about your stormy days

Because I'll bring back your memories one by one

For sure, for sure we'll become one

Yes, our dream

Hold it in your hand

Let's go to a place where the light doesn't end

Yes...

You aren't alone

There's still beyond the darkness yet to be seen

Even these walls and wounds, these dreams and paths

I'll walk down them with you

Endless nights don't exist

Destiny, shine on us

Tell me about your stormy days

Because I'll bring back your memories one by one
