Final year, and I'm getting cold feet. Really, really cold feet. So I need inspiration and motivation to allow me to hang on, to allow me to keep going.
Boku ga Boku no Subete
by Arashi
Moshi boku ga ano hi sukoshi chigau mirai wo eranda toshitara
"What if, that day, I chose a slightly different future?"
Yurete iru mado ni utsuru minareta hibi ni toikaketeru
I asked the swaying reflection of days I'm used to seeing on the windows
Hito wa dare mo akogare kizutsuki
People get hurt when they are admiring others
Tada hitotsu eranda ima wo
But the one 'now' that I have chosen
Taisetsu ni shinagara kitto ikite iru
I will deifintely be living on treasuring it
Arinomama de Mou ikkai arukidasou Kanashimi koete
As I am, I want to walk again, overcoming all unhappiness
Dare no demonai na mo naki michi wo
On the path belonging to no one, with no name
Ashita mo sou Yume ni mukatte nayande waratte waratte
Tomorrow as well, I will face my dream, worrying and laughing
Ima koko ni iru boku ga boku no subete
Now, here, I am my everything
Sore dake wa kawaranai
That, at least, will never change
Moshi boku ga ano hi kimi ni tsuyogari mo sezu sunao de iretara
"What if, that day, I was able to be honest and say those things without pretending to be tough?"
Futo mune ni ukabu omoi setsunai keredo ima wa itoshii
When I looked back, the memories that rose up in me were painful, but I still treasure the present
Hito wa dare mo deai to wakare ni
People, through meetings and departures
Sorezore no omoide kasane
Overlap each and every one of their memories
Atarashii ashita wo zutto ikite yuku
And always live on for a new tomorrow
Boku wa boku no jinsei mo unmei mo dakishimete yukou
I am myself, I will walk on, embracing my life, my fate
Hitotsu hitotsu ga kagayaku tame ni
So that each and every of them will shine
Haru aki natsu fuyu wo hashiite hashiite hashiite hashiite
I will run and run and run and run through spring, autumn, summer, winter
Tashika na koto wa boku ga tsukutta michi
Because what is certain is the path I have created
Sore dake wa kawaranai
That, at least, will never change
Sou mikansei de tachitomatta fuan wo
That's right, the insecurity I felt when I was inferior and had to stop
Hakanaku mo sugisatta jikan mo
And all the fleeting moments I passed through
Arinomama no jibun wo uke iretara
If I accept myself just as I am
Kono chikai de mirai wo kirihiraku you ni Kono omoi ga todokimasu you ni
I will be able to cut through the future with this vow and deliver these feelings
Ima ijou ni jibun no koto shinjiru yo
Now, I am able to believe in myself more than ever
Arinomama de Mou ikkai arukidasou Kanashimi koete
As I am, I want to walk again, overcoming all unhappiness
Dare no demonai na mo naki michi wo
On the path belonging to no one, with no name
Ashita mo sou Yume ni mukatte nayande waratte waratte
Tomorrow as well, I will face my dream, worrying and laughing
Tashika na koto wa hitotsu dake
Because what is certain is just one thing
Boku wa boku no jinsei mo unmei mo dakishimete yukou
I am myself, I will walk on, embracing my life, my fate
Hitotsu hitotsu ga kagayaku tame ni
So that each and every of them will shine
Haru aki natsu fuyu wo hashiite hashiite hashiite hashiite
I will run and run and run and run through spring, autumn, summer, winter
Ima koko ni iru boku ga boku no subete
Now, here, I am my everything
Sore dake wa kawaranai
That, at least, will never change
