新しい太陽 (atarashii taiyou – new sun) is a song about a break-up that uses the rising sun as imagery of a new start. The whole song is very sweet and supportive. It’s about a couple who have had to break-up and that although it’s still painful there is a new sun waiting to shine on them both from now on. (Fumi’s big solo lines in this one are sooooo goooood 👌🏻 Fumi solo ballad in 2021 please 🙏)
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translaton
“If we let the night embrace us
Maybe we can stay like this” I thought
How many tears did we have to cry
To make tomorrow come, I wonder
At the exit of the long tunnel
Your eyes grow dark without realising
But the scenery you’ll see from here on
Will be new and bright
If you’re ever feeling sad
Look towards the night sky
Melt away your pain
With a brand new sun
We cuddled together in the shadows
We longed to shine more than anyone
Even though we gave up on pretending to be strong
We couldn’t just let it pass by
A power point with a shocking story
Like we drew it out from the source
The moment we seemed to become desperate
We embraced the irritation as it was
Stuck in place right in the middle
Towards the dark night sky
We don’t want to smother
That first light
We started a little too late
And so we were strong
Like a big, blooming flower
I watched you from afar
To our place full of sunlight
Don’t run away anymore Don’t hide your eyes
If you’re ever feeling sad…
If you’re ever feeling sad…
If you’re ever feeling sad
Look towards the night sky
We will shine
With a brand new sun
If you’re every feeling sad…
(See, towards the edge of the sky)
If you’re ever feeling sad…
