Initial U

Japanese lyrics reflect how they were written in the Pretty Soldier SAILOR MOON Series Memorial Song Box. English lyrics were translated by me, an absolute amateur, and thus could be lacking.

Initial U

Lyrics: Naoko Takeuchi (武内直子)
Composer: Arisawa Takanori (有澤孝紀)
Arranger: Yoshichika Inomata (猪股義周)
Song: Risa Ohki (大木理紗)

白い花びら海にちらばり
君の影をめざし加速してく
あまい髪が　まとわりついて
ふせた　まぶた
あのよる焼くついた
ふりきるマシンは　Ferrari
思い出は風になる
いま　青いチェッカー・フラッグ

栄光の彼方に　ぼくはただ向かうだけ
くちびるに残したのは　誓いのあかし
朝焼けの向こうへ　走りつづけるきっと
あなたが胸にきざんだ　金に輝く
Uの文字

つないだ手を　なぜはなしたの
涙腺からかわく　夢のカケラ
銀の鏡　海に流し
未来は　ゆだねられた
いま　Shuffle and open your mind.

いつかまた　よりそう　その日を信じている
くちびるに残したのは　約束のKiss
朝焼けの向かうに　どんな闇がまとうと
ふたりで胸にきざんだ　金に輝く
Uの文字

Initial U

White petals scatter on the sea
They continue to accelerate towards your shadow
Centering about your sweet hair
And your closed eyelids
I went to you that burning night

The machine that I surpassed is a Ferrari
My memories become the wind
Now, the blue checkered flag

Heading towards the glory just beyond
The proof of this vow was left on our lips
I keep running with certainty to the other side of sunrise
You carved in my heart, shining in gold
The Initial U

Why did you release our joined hands
Drying from my tear ducts, the fragments of a dream
A silver mirror was swept into the sea
The future was entrusted to us
Now shuffle and open your mind

So once again, rather than believing in that day
We left a promise on our lips with a kiss
When whatever darkness covers the other side of sunrise
I carved in our hearts, shining in gold
The Initial U

Heading towards the glory just beyond
The proof of this vow was left on our lips
I keep running with certainty to the other side of sunrise
You carved in my heart, shining in gold
The Initial U
