歌おう Septet

Utaou Septet

Let’s sing a Septet

最初に鳴らしたあの音色は

Saisho ni narashita ano neiro wa

The timbre that first began to sound,

僕らの Heartbeat

Bokura no Heartbeat

It was our heartbeats,

揃えて Sing with

Soroete Sing with

A collective to sing with

どこへでも 走れそうだなんて

Doko e demo hashiresou nante

It seemed like we could run anywhere,

笑った

Waratta

And we laughed

あのね

Ano ne

Hey, you know,

本当は言いたい 事があった

Hontou wa iitai koto ga atta

The truth is I had something I wanted to say

風が止むその前に 答えて

Kaze ga yamu sono mae ni kotaete

So please answer, before the wind stops blowing

これから終わりの無い

Kore kara owari no nai

From hereon, it’s a journey with no end,

旅路へ夢を馳せる

Tabiji e yume wo haseru

chasing after our dreams

遠くを見上げてばかりでは

Tooku wo miagete bakari dewa

I don’t need to just keep staring

いられない いたくない

Irarenai itakunai

from afar; I don’t want to do that

繰り返して 登っていく

Kurikaeshite nobotte iku

We’ll just keep getting up, ascending

螺旋のような メロディーの渦

Rasen no you na merodii no uzu

Through this spiraling melody’s storm

始まりは小さい音一つでも

Hajimari wa chiisai oto hitotsu demo

Even if there’s only a singular sound at the start

一人きりじゃ 完成しない

Hitorikiri jya kansei shinai

It’s incomplete, with only a single one

セプテットは七つの光

Seputetto wa nanatsu no hikari

A septet needs seven lights

僕らを繋ぐ 虹のようだね

Bokura wo tsunagu niji no you da ne

It’s like a rainbow, connecting all of us

誰かの為に 奏でよう

Dareka no tame ni kanadeyou

Let’s perform, for someone else

真っ直ぐ見つめたその眼差し

Massugu mitsumeta sono manazashi

That gaze is looking straight ahead

僕だけ Faraway

Boku dake Faraway

I’m the only one faraway

叶えて Star wish

Kanaete Star wish

Please grant my star wish

いつまでも変わらずにいたいと

Itsumade mo kawarazu ni itai to

I wished that everything could stay the same

願った

Negatta

Forever

割れたグラスはもう

Wareta gurasy wa mou

Shattered glass can

元に戻らない

Moto ni modoranai

never be restored again

時間だけ揺るがずに育って

Jikan dake yurugazu ni sodatte

Only time can help numb it

それでも諦めない

Sore demo akiramenai

Even so I won’t give up

いつかはたどり着ける

Itsuka wa tadori tsukeru

One day I’ll finally find my way

大事に守られてるだけじゃ いやだよ　

Daiji ni mamorareteru dake jya iya da yo

I definitely don’t want to just be coddled --

守りたい

Mamoritai

I want to protect others

何度でもやり直して

Nando demo yari naoshite

Let’s redo it again and again

その旅に笑おう

Sono tabi ni waraou

Laughing along the way

絆は上塗りで強く

Kizuna wa uwanuri de tsuyoku

Our bonds growing stronger with each coat of paint

目を逸らさずに歌えば

Me wo sorasazu ni utaeba

If I sing without averting my eyes

地平線のかなた

Chiheisen no kanata

Then it’ll definitely reach

きっと届く

Kitto todoku

beyond the horizon

きっと羽ばたく風になる

Kitto habataku kaze ni naru

It’ll definitely become an uplifting wind

きらいごとと笑われても

Kirai goto to warawarete mo

I won’t mind it, being hated or

構わないさ 強くなりたい

Kamawanai sa tsuyoku naritai

being laughed at, because I want to become stronger

直向きに 進むんでく 天高く

Hitamuki ni susunde ku ten takaku

I’ll keep moving forward earnestly, keep reaching higher

繰り返して 登っていく

Kurikaeshite nobotte iku

We’ll just keep getting up, ascending

螺旋のような メロディーの渦

Rasen no you na merodii no uzu

Through this spiraling melody’s storm

始まりは小さい音一つでも

Hajimari wa chiisai oto hitotsu demo

Even if there’s only a singular sound at the start

一人きりじゃ 完成しない

Hitorikiri jya kansei shinai

It’s incomplete, with only a single one

セプテットは七つの光

Seputetto wa nanatsu no hikari

A septet needs seven lights

僕らを繋ぐ 虹のようだね

Bokura wo tsunagu niji no you da ne

It’s like a rainbow, connecting all of us

僕らの為に 奏でよう

Bokura no tame ni kanadeyou

Let’s perform, for ourselves

T/N: I love this song even if I’m a whole month late okay

Hi the evolution of IDOLiSH7’s working relationship??????

From「誰かの為に奏でよう」to「僕らの為に奏でよう」?????? AKA what mainly differentiates TennTRIGGER from RikuIDOLiSH7 imo as idols

「螺旋のような メロディーの渦」technically, this is saying that the melody’s vortex/maelstrom is like a spiral/swirl

Am I the only one getting Part 4 foreshadowing feels here maybe

The comment from the lyricist/composer!!

It seems that “SEPTET for…” was written and composed by a male college student! “To Nanase-san. I’ve always been cheering for you. The first time I ever saw IDOLiSH7 was at a live my girlfriend invited me to. Watching the members singing “RESTART POiNTER”, I was moved by the something, like the bonds felt through your singing voices and your expressions. Seeing the Nanase-san on-stage, speaking, on the verge of tears, I also felt like crying for some reason. I have a younger twin brother, and it seems that he also composes songs. But for some reason, he won’t talk to me about it. So I think, perhaps that’s why the image of everyone communicating on-stage moved me so much. Although “SEPTET for...” is a solo song, it’s one made with the image of IDOLiSH7’s bonds in mind. I’d be glad if you sang this song. I’ll continue to support you from now on as well.”
