Lyrics[]
そっと降り始めた 今年初めての
雪を見つめてた
街を白く染める 優しい音色に
心を巻き戻した
騒がしいこの街にも 小さな部屋にも
わりと慣れてきたけど
雨が雪に変わる そんな天気には
みんなの顔が浮かぶよ
ひとりでそうよ ピアノ弾いてた
希望と涙 抱えて 歌ってた
今はここで 新しい 夢のカケラ集めながら
いつか君がくれた勇気 抱きしめているよ
はるか遠く離れて 君の笑顔見えなくても
願いがそう届くように まっすぐな想い
あの頃のように
いつも泣かないように 唇噛み締め
空を見上げるクセは
ずっと変わらないよ 泣き虫なくせに
意地っ張りなままだよ
あれから少し 強くなれたかな
働く日々と 思い出 かき混ぜる
今はここで 新しい 夢のカケラ集めながら
いつか君がくれた笑顔 抱きしめているよ
はるか遠く離れて 壁の写真 色褪せても
目を閉じれば蘇るよ まっすぐな想い
鮮やかなままで
NEXT MY SELF… 新たな自分へ
NEXT MY SELF… もう一度 踏み出そう
NEXT MY SELF… みんなで歌った
NEXT MY SELF…
今夜も聴こえるよ なつかしいあの歌が
もう泣かないよ 君に逢えなくても
今はここで 新しい 夢のカケラ集めながら
いつか君がくれた勇気 抱きしめているよ
はるか遠く離れて 君の笑顔見えなくても
願いがそう届くように まっすぐな想い
あの頃のように
sotto orihajimeta kotoshi hajimete no
yuki wo mitsumeteta
machi wo shiroku someru yasashii neiro ni
kokoro wo maki modoshita
sawagashii kono machi ni mo chiisana heya ni mo
wari to narete kita kedo
ame ga yuki ni kawaru sonna tenki ni wa
minna no kao ga ukabu yo
hitori de sou yo PIANO hiiteta
kibou to namida kakaete utatteta
ima wa koko de atarashii yume no KAKERA atsumenagara
itsuka kimi ga kureta yuuki dakishimete iru yo
haruka tooku hanarete kimi no egao mienakute mo
negai ga sou todoku you ni massugu na omoi
ano koro no you ni
itsumo nakanai you ni kuchibiru kamishime
sora wo miageru KUSE wa
zutto kawaranai yo nakimushi na kuse ni

are kara sukoshi tsuyoku nareta ka na
hataraku hibi to omoide kakimazeru

I watched the first snowfall of the year
Come down gently
It rewinded my heart to
Those gentle music notes that dye the town white
I've grown relatively used to
The bustling town and my small flat, but
When the rain changes to snow, the weather
Makes me picture everyone's faces
All alone–that's right, I played the piano
Full of hope and tears, I sung and sung
Right now, right here, as I gather up fragments of dreams
I hold tight to the courage you gave me one day
Even when we're far, far apart and I can't see your smile anymore
In order for my wish, yes, to be transmitted, these feelings are straightforward
Just like back then
I always bite my lip and look up at the sky
To avoid bursting into tears
That's still the same, I'm still as stubborn as ever
Despite being a crybaby
I wonder if I've been able to become a little stronger since that time
The days spent working hard and the memories all mix together
Right now, right here, as I gather up fragments of dreams
I hold tight to the smile you gave me one day
Even when we're far, far apart and the pictures on my wall lose their color
When I close my eyes, these straightforward feelings will rush back
As vivid as always
My next self...I'll take another step forward again
My next self...towards a brand-new me
My next self...I sung about it with everyone
My next self...
Even tonight I can hear that old familiar song
I won't cry anymore, even if I can't see you
Right now, right here, as I gather up fragments of dreams
I hold tight to the courage you gave me one day
Even when we're far, far apart and I can't see your smile anymore
In order for my wish, yes, to be transmitted, these feelings are straightforward

Notes[]
- As Mano Erina's graduation single, this song references her previous songs, most notably her debut indies single Manopiano. The line hitori de sou yo PIANO hiiteta is used verbatim and "I won't cry anymore, even if I can't see you" seems to be a response to the "I want to see you" in the Manopiano chorus.
