I’ve watched the current episodes of this show through the urging of a friend and was very pleasantly surprised. So much so that I went and made a video with english subs here.
Since I’m not the most Japanese literate person in the world (understatement), there might be some errors
But, meh, it should be close enough? Heh. The lyrics itself are interesting. Very catchy. I wonder if it has some plot implications, its a bit too early to make any analysis though.
Anyway, I just want to share some nice compositions that I’ve found floating around with this song.
This one is my personal favorite.
Orchestra version.
Euphonium version
Piano Version
And for those who want the lyrics for my video. Here they are.
叶えたい事が 溢れてるから
立ち止まってる 暇なんてないよね
胸に秘めたあこがれを フルボリュームで届けよ う
行こう…クレッシェンドの向こうへ
つまずいてもいい はみだしてもいい
君の音色を 僕たちは待っている
響け! 生まれたての夢つめ込んで
大きな空へ いま旅立とう
拓け! 笑顔を味方につけて
離さない 諦めたくない
限界さえも 跳ね返す勇気で
DREAM SOLISTER
不器用で 素直じゃないトコロも
頑張り屋の君の 個性だから
素顔のままでもう一度 想いを奏でてみよう
夢のタクトは 自由自在
ヒトリじゃ出せない 音があること
気付いたから 迷わずSing! 弾けようよ 輝けSwing!!
それぞれのココロ 重ねあえば
いま始まる 青春のプレリュード
届け! 世界を巻き込むほど熱く
終わることの無い 未来(あす)を描こう
ひとつ ふたつと増えてくメロディ
おいでよ ここまでおいで
楽しまなくちゃ まだまだフォルテシモ
DREAM SOLISTER
We gatta swing
We gonna make you swing!!!
We gatta swing, So ever free!!×2
まるで イタズラ書きみたいなメロディ
理屈じゃないんだ 音楽しよう!!!
響け! 生まれたての夢つめ込んで
大きな空へ いま旅立とう
拓け! 笑顔を味方につけて
離さない 諦めたくない
限界さえも 跳ね返す勇気で
DREAM SOLISTER
ひとつ ふたつと増えゆく
おいでよ ここまでおいで
楽しまなくちゃ まだまだフォルテシモ
DREAM SOLISTER
La La La La La 君の声 聴かせて欲しいよ
La La La La La 終わらない音楽は 続いてゆく
We are filled with dreams that we want to come true,
We don’t have any time to stand still,
The ambitions hidden in our heart, let’s play it out at full volume,
Let’s go … beyond the crescendo!
Its alright if you stumble, its alright if you stand out, We are all waiting to hear your tone
Sound it out! Fill it with newly born dreams,
Let’s journey under the grand sky,
Break it open! Smile to your friends,
Don’t let go; Don’t give up,
Go beyond our limits; Bounce back with courage,
DREAM SOLISTER
Your awkward and stubborn side,
As you try so hard, makes you what you are,
Honestly, play out your feeling once more,
The beat of your dream moves freely.
For alone there are sounds I can’t make,
Blast it out without fear SING! Bouncily shine
SWING!!
Once our different heart overlaps,
Our prelude of youth begins.
Send it out! Passion to enfold the world
Make an unending future,
One two melodies multiply,
Come here! Come over here!
We’re still at fortissimo, let’s have a good time
DREAM SOLISTER
We gatta swing
We gonna make you swing!!!
We gatta swing, So ever free !! x 2
A doodling melody,
No reason, just music!!!
Sound it out! Fill it with newly born dreams
Let’s journey under the grand sky,
Break it open! Smile to your friends,
Don’t let go; Don’t give up,
Go beyond our limits; Bounce back with courage
DREAM SOLISTER
One, two melodies multiply,
Come here! Come over here!
We’re still at fortissimo, Let’s have a good time,
DREAM SOLISTER
La la la la la la I want to hear your voice
La la la la la la Our music will go on and on
Enjoying Euphonium a lot, too. There's an incredible amount of care put into every detail of the show, and the character portrayals are a step away from what we see in most anime.
Yeah. I went in expecting K-on! 2.0 and got well…. band politics.
…. And wow is it kinda scarily accurate. I'm only in band for like one year due to extra credits. But, they really nailed it.
I'm rooting for some ego "first seat" drama in the future because you can't have an orchestra without that. lol
