If you wish it so, our colours won’t fade away
Let’s go, The New World
The number of miracles that piled up — even this and even that surely aren’t just tragedies
In order to break down all the high walls that we’re supposed to call destiny
Trust me
We’ll overcome the seasons just on repeat and start running
If you wish it so, our colours won’t fade away
Even now, to those eyes of yours
I promise to you here, our colours won’t fade away anymore;
Light such a new world
I wonder, is each and every case of not knowing when to give up due to reasons you can’t disclose?
What kind of future is it, having to obey everything? An endless thought
Trust you
We’ll cast off all our unclear feelings and start running
If you wish it so, our colours won’t fade away
Even now, to those eyes of yours
I promise to you here, our colours won’t fade away anymore;
Light such a new world
In the radiance, when we just close our eyes and stop, we realize
That with these hands, we who’ve lost nothing at all,
Promise to you here, we are lights whose colours won’t fade — such a new world
What spreads out before your eyes, That’s new world！

NOTES / INTERPRETATION:
Blue font indicates text originally written in English in the official lyrics.
Thoughts. This song made me think strongly of classic HIROTO compositions from ALICE NINE. like FOLLOW ME or INNOCENCE in the way the lyrics are straightforward, uplifting, and that the music feels a bit like a sprint. The way the song builds right before the dazzling guitar solo and then again up to the ending is really quite magnificent.
Even though this song was composed for his solo project, I can’t help but think of ALICE NINE. when I hear the lines our colours won’t fade away anymore and we are lights whose colours won’t fade. I have this hope that all five members will just be true to themselves and find fulfilment as artists and as human beings — and that one day, maybe, they’ll play together again, all the stronger for the time they spent pursuing their own interests (whether or not they want to invite fans in to support those solo pursuits).
It’s pretty clear in HIROTO’s case, that he’d like fans of ALICE NINE. to follow along with his new venture and that he is pulling from his musical roots and reaching out toward all his fellow musician friends to craft a way forward that feels authentic to him.
The New World, full of energy, feels both fresh and familiar.
