1. Naitemo Naitemo

No matter how I cry and cry, I don’t want to throw away my hope
Even if I think it’s useless
Tomorrow might be a little better

For example, I’m lost on a pitch-dark road
and I’m scared and anxious and I can’t see the exit

There are days when I am aware
that things like that are bound to happen
But I still end up feeling desperate and helpless

The problem isn’t reality, it’s my heart that fears it

No matter how I cry and cry, I don’t want to throw away my hope
Even if I think it’s useless
Tomorrow might be a little better
No matter how I cry and cry, I won’t give up, it’s definitely not the end
After tears, there’s always joy that’s waiting, I believe in that

For example, I’m climbing a steep slope
and it’s exhausting and I’m tired, but there’s no other option than to keep going

Even if I think about once I’ve overcome this
beyond what lies ahead just lies the next slope

Every time I’m worrying on my own
and think too much
The only things coming to mind are negative ones
Whenever we’re feeling down
let’s remember that we’re not alone
On times when we’re looking downwards
opportunities will still come
We have to lift our heads in order to not overlook that

No matter what hardships
they won’t continue forever
Let’s laugh and talk together sometime
looking back on how hard that time was
Believe in that day that will come without a doubt, and live today

No matter how I cry and cry, I don’t want to throw away my hope
Even if I think it’s useless
Tomorrow might be a little better
No matter how I cry and cry, I won’t give up, it’s definitely not the end
After tears, there’s always joy that’s waiting, I believe in that

After tears, there’s always joy that’s waiting
Lift your head
