一生の間に何人と出逢えるのだろう (Isshou no aida nannin to deaeru no darou) – How many people will we meet in a lifetime?
Performed by Team 8.
——
Someone’s laughter is sounding from somewhere
With the wind carrying happiness here
It may feel insecure to walk alone, but
There are many “someone”s in the world
The trees in the park
Under the sun’s light
Create one shadow
The leaves on the branches overlap
Living together
How many people will we meet
In a lifetime?
People with an irreplaceable existence
Whom we can discuss our dreams with
Sunny days and rainy days
No matter what the sky is like
If I can stay by your side
Tomorrow will always be fun
The seasons change, and along this road
As if a picture book on plants has been opened
Petals of various colors mix together
Making the road so beautiful
The more I notice how I’m different
And am inspired by it
I start to understand myself
To not know “others”
Is just too much of a waste
How many people will we meet
Throughout this life?
People who teach us love
And bonds of destiny
Smiles and tears
Sharing it all with each other
If I can live while facing forward
Even the usual today will shine
Not just passing by
Meeting the other, becoming friends
Wanting to walk on together
One day, suddenly, when I look to the side
Will “someone” be there?
How many people will we meet
In a lifetime?
People with an irreplaceable existence
Whom we can discuss our dreams with
Sunny days and rainy days
No matter what the sky is like
If I can stay by your side
Tomorrow will always be fun

KANJI
どこかで誰かの笑い声がして
風がしあわせを運んで来るよ
一人で歩くには不安もあるけれど
世界にはいっぱい“誰か”がいる
公園の木々たちが
太陽の光の下で
一つの影を作って
枝の葉と葉が重なり合い
共に生きている
何人と出逢えるのだろう
一生の間に
夢を語り合えるような
かけがえのない存在
晴れの日や雨の日
どんな空の下でも
君が隣りにいてくれるなら
明日はいつだって楽しい
季節は巡ってこの道の脇に
植物図鑑を広げたように
いろんな色の花びらたちが混ざるから
こんなにキレイに見える
周りとは違うもの
気づく度 刺激を受けて
自分がわかり始める
他の“誰か”を知らないのは
絶対にもったいない
何人と出逢えるのだろう
人生の途中で
愛を教えてくれる人
運命的な絆
微笑みも涙も
互いに分かち合い
前を向いて生きて行けるなら
普通の今日だって輝く
すれ違うだけじゃなく
知り合って 仲良くなって
一緒に歩きたくなる
ある日 突然 横を見たら
“誰か”がいるのかな
何人と出逢えるのだろう
一生の間に
夢を語り合えるような
かけがえのない存在
晴れの日や雨の日
どんな空の下でも
君が隣りにいてくれるなら
明日はいつだって楽しい
