Namida nagasu no wa shinjiteru kara

Boku no ushiro ni dekiteta michi
Ame no mukou e kaze no mukou e tabi wa tsuzuite yuku
Ima kimi no mukou e soshite boku no mukou e michi wa tsuzuite yuku
(Vague translation? Koped from somewhere.)
The reason my tears fall is because
I believe In the words written on the notebook in my heart
The words I shouted to the blurred sky
When things didn’t go the way I’d sketched them out
My path had already formed behind me
Beyond the rain, beyond the wind, my journey will go on
Beyond you now, and beyond me, my path goes on
-Kaze no Mukou e, by Arashi. Olympic theme song for Japan!
