It is time to shine …

最近 Dream Live 2 もう一回見た後で、この言葉を思い出して、よく覚えた。

「血の滲むような努力は、きれいな一筋の汗になる、きっとそんな汗はクリスタル、栄光を集めて虹に輝く。」

今ジェットプログラムに参加ができること、本当に今までの努力賞だと思うね。これからも、栄光を集めて虹に輝くために、頑張ります！

Recently, I watched Dream Live 2 again and I was constantly reminded of the following phrase. I remembered this phrase well.

“Our great efforts running in our blood will turn into beautiful sweat, certainly this sweat will be like a crystal. It will gather our glory and shine like a rainbow.”

Now that I have made it to the JET Programme, this phrase means more to me than ever before. I hope that I continue to shine like a rainbow through the sweat I will accumulate in this programme.

This song, entitled ‘Crystal’, was performed by the 2nd Generation cast in Prince of Tennis Musical: Dream Live 2nd, held on August 20, 2005.

自分との戦い　孤独と言う名の　ファイター

In the fight against myself, I am a FIGHTER called ‘solitude’
わき目も振らずに行くぜ

There is no such time to look back

毎日の戦い　負けては成らない　プレッシャー

In the challenges everyday, I feel the PRESSURE I can’t be defeated
頂点に立つためには　走り続けなきゃ行けない

In order to stand at the top, I have to keep running.

ライバルは大切だぜ　君がいたから　頑張れた

Therefore I will chase you into a corner now
どちらかが勝利を　掴み取るまで

Until one of us achieves victory
