ハッピーエンド ( Happy Ending ) Cho-Kaguyahime Fan Song
*The English lyrics are shown below the Japanese lyrics. ----------------------- 【 Side A 】 幾千の星 澄んだ夜空に こぼれた声 届かないままの ふたりのメロディ 八千年の時を越え 日出づる国を見ていた 祈りも 嘆きも 歓びも 触れられないまま 焼け落ちた城も街も 焦げた風の匂い 笑うことでしか 抗えなかった絶望 戦も 愛も 希望も 生まれては消えていく世を ただ見つめてきたよ 我が儘に笑ってた あの夜を思い出す 君の小さな部屋だけが 私でいられたよ 永遠に続くと思えた日々 こんなにも欲しかったんだ わたしの名前を呼ぶ声が 月より遠い君へ 八千年を越えて 届かなくてもいい わたしはずっと君を想い続ける 【 Side B 】 静かな部屋の片隅 空いたままの椅子 騒がしかった日々が 胸を締めつける 元に戻ればいいと 言い聞かせながら かつて選んだ道をなぞる でも いつも笑っていた理由も その痛みも知ってしまった 普通のエンディングで終わらせない 今度は 私が未来を選ぶんだ 【 Side Both 】 ハッピーエンドにしようよ 今度は同じ時間で 永遠よりも尊い この一瞬を大切にしたい 月も距離も超えて手を伸ばすよ もう離さないから もう戻ることはできないけど 一瞬を抱きしめて 月から太陽へ光を変え さあ行こう 最高だと思えるように 同じ歩幅で進もう 終わりある一本道を 光を浴びながら歩いていこう 月より遠く離れていた ふたりは今一緒に笑ってる 八千年の孤独ごと抱きしめ合おう 戻れないこの道を ふたりで選んだから 共に生きる今日が こんなにも眩しい 最高だと思える未来へ 涙も連れて行こう 終わりあるこの時が こんなにも愛しい 月から太陽へ光を変え 光の中を歩いていこう ----------------------- **Happy Ending (English Lyrics Version)** 【Side A】 Thousands of stars In the clear night sky A voice that spilled out A melody of ours Left unheard Across eight thousand years I watched the land where the sun rises Prayers, laments, even joy All beyond my touch Burned-down castles, shattered towns The scent of scorched wind A despair I could resist Only by forcing a smile War, love, and hope Born and fading in this world I could only stand and watch I remember laughing selfishly On that distant night In your little room I could finally be myself Days that felt As if they would last forever What I longed for most Was the sound of you calling my name To you, farther than the moon Beyond eight thousand years Even if it never reaches you I will always keep loving you 【Side B】 In the quiet corner of my room An empty chair remains Those noisy days Still tighten my chest Telling myself I should just go back Tracing the path I once chose But now I know the reason You were always smiling And the pain behind it This ordinary ending I won’t let it be This time I choose my own future 【Side Both】 Let’s make it a happy ending This time, in the same time More precious than eternity This single moment Reaching beyond the moon and distance I won’t let go We can’t go back But I’ll hold this moment close Turning moonlight into sunlight Let’s go Step by step together Toward what feels like the best Walking this one-way road Bathed in light We were once Farther apart than the moon But now we stand together Smiling Let’s embrace Even eight thousand years of solitude This path we can’t return from We chose it together Living today Feels so bright Toward the future We can truly call the best Carrying our tears along Because this finite time Is so deeply precious From moonlight into sunlight Let’s walk Into the light ----------------------- English Description This is a fan song inspired by the Netflix original anime film “Cho-Kaguyahime!” To be honest, I didn’t expect it to move me this deeply. But once I watched it, I was completely overwhelmed by how powerful and heartfelt it was. I simply couldn’t help creating this song. The film beautifully reflects many of the elements I love about Japanese internet culture and storytelling since the 2000s, and that connection meant a great deal to me. I’m truly happy that it is now being streamed worldwide. If you’re curious, I hope you’ll experience it for yourself.
