This is actually a song about saying to oneself that “I will not lose” and “On my way” to my dreams. As for the actual translation of the song, I will put it up in my next post.

This song “On My Way” is performed by the テニスの王子様ミュージカル “Prince of Tennis Musical” (a.k.a. テニミュー, “Tenimyu”), in particular, the 二代青学レギュラー (2nd Generation Cast Seigaku Regulars) in ヅリーンライブ三 (Dream Live 3rd).
