Green to the sky

Note: Italics indicate the lyrics sung in English.

“You won’t be able to see anything if you walk with your head down”
You’re the one who taught me that
Like a strong wind sweeping up my front bangs


Through the bustling hours, never leaving me alone
I was even able to find all the precious things I hadn’t noticed before
By straightening my back and looking ahead to the far distance
“The sky has expanded.”


Whenever I’m lost and don’t know where I am anymore
“I’m lost in the moment.”
That’s when I hear a voice saying, “I’m right here”


It’s because you’re always watching over me in that way that I can continue believing
In the precious value of feeling love for something that never changes
That’s why, so that you know that I’m also here — no matter how far away I am
I’ll try reaching out my hand as high up as I possibly can so that you can find me


Though I know for sure that we all have our own reason to keep on living
When someone affirms mine, it makes me infinitely grow1


All kinds of people are everywhere, whether right or left
It’s normal that we’d all be different, right?
An identical day has never once existed, even up to this very day
“Everything is changing.”


I always wondered, “What’s something that never changes?”
“What remains the same?”
Up until I realized that the feeling of love never fades


You would always watch over me just like this
That’s how I was able to eventually grow stronger
I’m able to stand without wavering, in a world that’s constantly spinning
That’s why I want to work hard to deliver compassion1
To those feelings that cheer for my dear likes2
It’s the energy that makes hearts have infinite bounds


That’s why, even if each day is only a little more than the last3
I want us to keep delivering those feelings of ‘love’ to one another4
And so that you know that I’m also here — no matter how far away I am
I’ll try reaching out my hand as high up as I possibly can so that you can find me
I’m green tree to the sky… to the sky!
I want you to find me!

Translation Notes

  1. This references Midori’s Ryusei Green catchphrase, which goes like so: “The green flame is the mark of compassion—The great nature, growing infinitely! Ryusei Green, Takamine Midori…!”
  2. The word for “dear likes” is daisuki. This is the same word used in his center song, RELAX PARADISE. It can also be translated as “favorite”, “likes/loves”, and “things (I) love”. “Likes” is a running theme in Ryuseitai’s solo songs, as well as a theme discussed in Midori’s center event where he acts as the leader, Tropical.
  3. These lyrics are very similar to what he says in his confession in Ring. To be more specific, in both the confession and the lyrics, he says kinou yori (mo) kyou, kyou yori (mo) ashita, sukoshi zutsu, lit. “today more than yesterday, tomorrow more than today, little by little”.
  4. In the original lyrics, suki is in brackets, unlike the other instances he says the word in the song. The same can be seen in his confession in Ring.
