To Those Who Live Now
translation by Alinda Sue…


Ah,  people who continue to live now, do not throw away your dream
This star still continues watching over you and moving
Ah, and the life of this star is in your hand
All are involved without forgetting a thing

The world is not changeable immediately
We need to begin by looking for something in the heart

If I were to say goodbye,  you would still be hurt
This star also is the same thing, so it is likely to invite understanding
Together, we continue to walk.  One more time -
Remembering times long past, the color of the sky, the color of the sea

The world is not changeable immediately
We need to begin by looking for something in the heart

This star now acts for the sake of you guys
We take hold of the future of this star
Ah, people who live now, do not give up

If I continue to have a true heart
This star will still absolutely continue to watch over

The world is not changeable immediately
We need to begin by looking for something in the heart
