夕空の紙飛行機 [A Paper Plane in the Evening Sky] - Mori Naoya モリナオヤ {Japanese 00}

I would like to share one of my favourite Japanese songs that I had listened to since i was 17. I know this site is for Chinese/Mandarin songs. But I just felt like that I should share this. This is from the anime Hajime No Ippo, a boxing anime released in 2000.

The skyscrapers are gorgeous when the pastel sky reflects on them

Each person passing by sees the scene differently in their own heart

Can you do anything to help someone who's feeling blue as you are now?

Flightless birds don't think the sky's so very high, they don't want to think of it like that

 

I was worrying about nothing

So I wrote "it's going to be okay" on a page in my notebook and tore it out

 

I made a paper plane and sent it flying, hoping it would somehow be in time for tomorrow

Chasing the setting sun forever and ever

I send a prayer to the sky, begging for my paper plane to never land

Because I want to dream forever and ever

 

When the sky pales, I feel so very small

I think about the day that's ending and try to find some way I can make a difference

 

But maybe I'm overthinking it

Believing that everything's going to be okay is the first step forward

 

I send the paper plane flying, hoping it'll somehow be in time for tomorrow

Chasing the setting sun forever and ever

I send a prayer to the sky, begging for my paper plane to never land

Because I want to dream forever and ever

 

I send the paper plane flying, it's buffeted about by the wind again and again

But keeps going further, higher, to the ends of the earth, forever and ever

I send the paper plane flying, so that my dreams won't die without being realised

I'll keep believing, forever and ever

So it can keep on flying, forever and ever
