Romanized Lyrics

Sakura mau michi no saki ni
Minna no egao mabushikute
Hashiru kaze piano to uta
Aitakatta egaiteta mirai ni tatsu

Nee hanataba no you na deai toki wa sugiru kedo
Dear my best friends
Sayonara sae mata au sono hi made mune ni

START!
Hanabira mau kyou to iu hi wo
Zettai zettai ni wasurenai yo
Aa nan oku bun no kioku no naka zutto... zutto...
Hikaru sutaatorain kienai

Nigetai hi nakitai toki minna no koe ni tsutsumareta
Hazakura to haru no nioi
“Hajimaru!” tte omoeru tte shiawase da ne

Nee dare ni demo hitotsu kitto hikaru mono ga aru
Dear my best friends
Shinjiteru to kotoba ga kawaru koto shitta

Hashiridaseba kaze ni deau
Aoi aoi sono eeru no naka
Aa isshou yume da to omotteta koto
Kitto kitto gooru ni todoku hi ga kuru

Mirai nooto hiraku tabi ni kodou ga hayaku hibiku
Nee dareka no yume ga watashi no supiido oikoshiteru kana?
Jibun no ichi ga mienai toki mo

Isshun isshun atarashii iro
Zenbu zenbu nido to nai
Aa hanabira mau kyou to iu hi wo
Zettai zettai ni wasurenai yo
Aa nan oku bun no kioku no naka zutto... zutto...
Hikaru sutaatorain kienai

English Lyrics

Where cherry blossoms dance upon the path ahead
Everyone’s smiles shine so dazzlingly bright
The rushing wind, the piano, and our song...
Standing now in the future I longed for, the one I always pictured

Hey, like a bouquet, these encounters we have shared... time flows onward, but
Dear my best friends
Even this goodbye, I'll hold it tightly in my heart until the day we meet again

START!
The petals dance... this precious day called "today"
I'll absolutely, absolutely never forget it, no!
Ah, among countless memories, forever... forever...
This shining starting line will never fade away

On days I wanted to run, or times I felt like crying, I was wrapped within the warmth of all your voices
The greening cherry trees, the scent of spring...
Realizing "It's all beginning now!"... that feeling is true happiness, you know?

Hey, within every single person, there's surely one thing, a light that brightly shines
Dear my best friends
I learned how powerful words can become, just by truly believing inside

START!
If I start running, I'll meet the cherry blossom wind
Within those vibrant, vibrant blue cheers
Ah, the things I thought were just lifelong dreams...
Surely, surely, the day will come when we finally reach the goal!

My "Future Notebook" each time I open it, my heartbeat echoes faster now
Hey, I wonder... is someone else's dream already speeding past my own pace?
Even in times when I can't quite see where I stand...

START!
Each and every moment holds a brand new color
Every single one will never come again
Ah, the petals dance... this precious day called "today"
I'll absolutely, absolutely never forget it, no!
Ah, among countless memories, forever... forever...
This shining starting line will never fade away

Japanese Lyrics

桜舞う 道の先に
みんなの笑顔 眩しくて
走る風 ピアノと歌
会いたかった 描いてた 未来に立つ

ねえ 花束のような出会い 時は過ぎるけど
Dear my best friends
サヨナラさえ また会うその日まで胸に

START!
花びら舞う 今日という日を
絶対、絶対に忘れないよ
ああ 何億分の記憶の中 ずっと…ずっと…
光る スタートライン 消えない

逃げたい日 泣きたい時 みんなの声に包まれた
葉桜と 春の匂い
“始まる！”って 思えるって 幸せだね

ねえ 誰にでも一つ きっと光るものがある
Dear my best friends
信じてると 言葉が 変わること 知った

START!
走り出せば 桜風（かぜ）に出会う
青い 青い そのエールの中
ああ 一生夢だと 思ってたこと
きっと きっと ゴールに届く日が来る

未来ノート 開くたびに 鼓動が速く響く
ねえ 誰かの夢が私の スピード追い越してるかな？
自分の位置が見えない時も

START!
一瞬一瞬 新しい色
全部 全部 二度とない
ああ 花びら舞う 今日という日を
絶対、絶対に忘れないよ
ああ 何億分の記憶の中 ずっと…ずっと…
光る スタートライン 消えない
