Lyrics: Ketsumeishi
Composition: Akitsugu Fukushima & Ketsumeishi

We're always inexperienced
so just do what you want
Regrets over what you've done
are for the day you can laugh about them someday
Only the regrets of what you didn't do
will smolder in your heart forever
That step you're anxious about taking
If you can take it, don't hesitate; keep on

Anything will do, anything at all
not tomorrow, not the day after, but the day after that
I'll do whatever I can to fish for my dreams
and grasp my own kind of success
Money, status, and glory
they'll all come later when you look back
Friends, family, and feelings only
will always leave if you show off

When you're tired of having fun
we can reminisce and laugh with friends
There aren't that many things
more valuable than memories like that
Help when needed
Play as hard as you can
My people, open your eyes
Raise your fists like you own the place

In the midst of our stiff society
there are so many things happening, but I'm doing my best
Having hardships is to be expected
If you can be grateful for this, you've learned something
Bitter experiences, even my own,
shine as treasures if you change your perspective
Don't hide even if you've done something wrong
Don't forget when someone does something for you

Are you being kind to others?
Are you making your family smile?
This is the basics. You can become an example
At the crossroads of life, listen to what they say
Everyone has worries
but it's better to smile as if you have none
Somehow or another we've made it through till now
Tomorrow will come again, lucky ones

When you're tired of having fun
you'll meet someone by chance and make a family with them
There's nothing in this world
more valuable than an encounter like that
Always protect them without fail
Love them as much as you can
My people, connect hands
Dedicate yourself as if it were your own

No matter what place you're in now
just do it, no matter what it is
You can only do it now
You'll realize later that it was happiness
Those who don't hit a wall
are just running away and their tomorrow won't change
Even what you think of as failures and a waste
will eventually become strength you can be proud of

Even the really crappy days full of worries
will be something to laugh about when you look back on them later
"That guy's seriously a goddamn idiot"
Let's be such fools that they say that about us
We only get one life - act like you own the place
Talk nonsense just like it's a dream
If that's how it's gonna be, just do it and laugh
Someday talk about it with your friends again

When you're tired of having fun
we can reminisce and laugh with friends
There aren't that many things
more valuable than memories like that
Help when needed
Play as hard as you can
My people, open your eyes
Raise your fists like you own the place

When you're tired of having fun
you'll meet someone by chance and make a family with them
There's nothing in this world
more valuable than an encounter like that
Always protect them without fail
Love them as much as you can
My people, connect hands
Dedicate yourself as if it were your own

Orera wa itsudemo mijuku dakara
Yaritai you ni yattara ii sa
Yacchimatta koukai nante sa
Itsu no hi ka waraeru hi no tame sa
Yaranakatta koukai dake wa
Itsumademo kokoro de kusuburu kara
Fumidasenai fuan na ippo
Fumidasetara mayowazu keep on

Nandemo ii nandemo ii kara
Asu yori asatte yori mo shiasatte
Teatari shidai ni yume wo asatte
Te ni suru jibun nari no sakusesu
Kane ya chii ya meiyo nante
Furikaereba ato kara tsuite kuru
Tomo ya kazoku ya omoi dake wa
Mie hattecha kanarazu satte iku

Asobi tsukareta koro ni
Omoidashi warai ga nakama to dekiru you na
Sonna omoide yori kachi no aru
Mono nante sonna niwa nai kara sa
Hitsuyou na toki niwa tasuke nasai
Isshoukenmei ni asobi nasai
Wagamonotachi yo sono me wo hiraite
Wagamonogao de kobushi wo kakagete

Kono kyuukutsu na shakai no mannaka de
Iroiro aru kedo ganbareteru
Kurou ga aru nowa atarimae
Kore ni kansha dekireba manabi da ne
Nigai keiken wagamono mo
Mikata kaereba hikaru takaramono
Yatte shimattemo kakureru na
Yatte morattara wasureru na

Hito ni shinsetsu ni dekiteru ka?
Kazoku wo egao ni dekiteru ka?
Kore ga kihon nareru sa mihon
Jinsei no kiro niwa hanashi kikou
Nayami ga aru nowa mina onaji
Demo nai you na egao shita hou ga ii
Nandakanda norikitta ima mademo
Mata ashita ga kuru'n da shiawasemono

Asobi tsukareta koro ni
Meguriai dareka to hitotsu no kazoku ni naru
Sonna deai yori kachi no aru
Mono nante kono yo niwa nai kara sa
Itsudatte kanarazu mamori nasai
Isshoukenmei ni aishi nasai
Wagamonotachi yo sono te wo tsunaide
Wagakoto no you ni sono mi wo sasagete

Ima iru basho ga donna tokoro demo
Yattara ii sa donna koto mo
Yareru nowa kitto ima dake da zo
Ato de wakaru sore ga shaiwase da to
Kabe ni buchiataranai yatsu wa
Nigeteru dake de kawaranai asu ga
Shippai ya muda to omoeru koto mo
Yagate chikara to naru hokoreru hodo no

Nayami bakari de kanari yabai hibi mo
Ato de furikaerya waraibanashi
"Aitsu wa maji de baka yarou sa"
Tte iwareru kurai baka yarou na
Ichidokiri jinsei wagamonogao de
Marude yume no you na tawagoto katare
Douse nara yacchimatte waraou ze
Itsu no hi ka nakama de mata katarou ze

Asobi tsukareta koro ni
Omoidashi warai ga nakama to dekiru you na
Sonna omoide yori kachi no aru
Mono nante sonna niwa nai kara sa
Hitsuyou na toki niwa tasuke nasai
Isshoukenmei ni asobi nasai
Wagamonotachi yo sono me wo hiraite
Wagamonogao de kobushi wo kakagete

Asobi tsukareta koro ni
Meguriai dareka to hitotsu no kazoku ni naru
Sonna deai yori kachi no aru
Mono nante kono yo niwa nai kara sa
Itsudatte kanarazu mamori nasai
Isshoukenmei ni aishi nasai
Wagamonotachi yo sono te wo tsunaide
Wagakoto no you ni sono mi wo sasagete

我が者達よ
