How in the world did I miss this song??? Really, I’ve must have been living in my own little world when Dream-A-Live was released and probably, I didn’t bother to download the RE.
Once Again is simply pure awesomeness! Without doubt, it has become an instant favorite of mine! I love the dark composition along with smooth vocals of the boys, in perfect harmony. The rap sequence is arranged nicely just prior to the last chorus, fabulously sang by Sho-kun as always.
I would love to see this one live…unfortunately, the Dream-A-Live concert DVD has not been released yet. Mostly likely, it never will! Fancam, anyone??? Hopefully, the boy will have it arranged in a future one, let’s all pray!!
This is such an awesome fanvideo, the song fits perfectly with the scenes.
Here are the Kanji and English lyrics:
Once Again
Lyrics：Wonderland
Rap: Sakurai Sho
Music : Alfred Tuohey & Thanh Bui
もう一度 僕らは今 動き出した未来へ
漕ぎ出せ 胸に想い刻み込んで
つかみ取れるさ 手を伸ばせば まだ
忘れていた 夢がそこにある
Once again, we’re moving towards the future now.
Starting to row, engraving the feelings in my heart.
I can reach out if I extend my hands,
the forgotten dreams are still there.
僕らずっと飛べなくて 空見上げ眺めてた
何にも出来ず当てもなく ただ探し続けたあの頃
We can never fly, we look up to the sky.
Unable to do anything, without aim, we continued to search back then.
途方に暮れた時間だけ過ぎて
眠れない夜 重ねていたんだ
怯えた今日の向こう側へ
辿り着ける日が来るきっと
Just the end of the passed time.
The sleepless nights are piling up.
The frightening side of today,
that day will surely come.
もう一度 僕らは今 動き出した未来へ
漕ぎ出せ 胸に想い刻み込んで
つかみ取れるさ 手を伸ばせば まだ
忘れていた 夢がそこにある
Once again, we’re moving towards the future now.
Starting to row, engraving the feelings in my heart.
I can reach out if I extend my hands,
the forgotten dreams are still there.
確かなモノ見えなくて 問いかけてた Every night
周りも見えずに突き進み 夢中で駆け抜けたあの頃
We can’t see the certain things, asking about that every night.
Breaking through without seeing anything, we raptly ran through back then.
降り出した雨に消された声を
胸に刻み忘れないように
沸き起こる想いと共に
君に届く日が来る きっと
The voice that was shut down by the falling rain,
I carved that in my heart so I won’t forget.
With the bursting feelings,
the day that I will reach you will surely come.
もう一度 僕らは今 駆け抜けてく未来へ
描いた 夢はきっと思いのまま
諦めるな 悔やむくらいなら もう
信じてきた 明日はそこにある
Once again, we’re running towards the future now.
The dreams we drew definitely show how we feel.
Don’t give up if you have regrets.
The tomorrow we believed in is already there.
見失いかけてた
“願いかけ 描いた夢”の先へと once again
あの頃抱く不安だって
無駄になんてなんない 待ってたって だって…
より高く飛ぶために低くしゃがむ事だって僕らには必要
だからどうかいまchanceをonce again
そう何度何度もagain and again
I was about to lose sight of it.
Once again, we’re going to the future of “The wish we made and the dreams we drew”.
The anxiety we embraced back then
won’t be wasted even if we have to wait…
In order to fly high, we need to fly low.
That’s why somehow we have a chance now once again.
Yes, again and again and again and again.
もう一度 僕らは今 動き出した未来へ
漕ぎ出せ 胸に想い刻み込んで
つかみ取れるさ 手を伸ばせば まだ
忘れていた 夢がそこにある
Once again, we’re moving towards the future now.
Starting to row, engraving the feelings in my heart.
I can reach out if I extend my hands,
the forgotten dreams are still there.
Stand Up!! 僕らは今 駆け抜けてく未来へ
描いた 夢はきっと思いのまま
諦めるな 悔やむくらいなら もう
信じてきた 明日はそこにある
Stand up!! We’re running towards the future now.
The dreams we drew definitely show how we feel.
Don’t give up if you have regrets.
The tomorrow we believed in is already there.
