[romaji and translation] NEXT LEVEL
 

Ugoki dasu tsugi no stage e mukete
Boku tachi wa aruki tsuzukeru

Doko made mo tsuzuku kono ipponmichi o
Boku tachi wa hikari tsuzukeru

Koko kara mou ichido
Hajimatte ku start o
Donna fuu ni kitte ikeru no kana

* Sora o miage tara fuwari egao ga koboreta yo
Kowaku nai yo daijoubu da yo tte kikoeta
Sora o miage tara fui ni namida ga koboreta yo
Kako ni nokoshita kizuato sae ima wa itoshii

Hibiite ru mirai o tsugeru aizu ga
Boku tachi wa hitomi awaseru

Takanaru kono kodou
Nani o erabi egaite
Donna chizu ga dekiagaru kana

** Kaze o kanji tara gyutto tsuyoku te o nigirou
Ooku no kotoba nante mou hitsuyou nai kara
Kaze o kanji tara gutto tsuyoku aruki dasou
Onaji sokudo de onaji keshiki nagamete yukou

--------------------------------------------------
We start to move for the next stage
We keep on walking

On this endless, straight road
We keep on shining

I wonder how I'll be able to
Make a start again
From this point

* I looked up at the sky and smiled softly
I heard, "Don't be afraid, it's all right"
I looked up at the sky and tears rolled from my eyes suddenly
Even the scar left in my past is dear to me now

I hear the signal sound for the future
Our eyes meet each other

My heart is throbbed with excitement
I wonder what I'll choose and draw
And what kind of map will be made up

** When we feel the wind, let's clench our hands tightly
Because we don't need many words any more
When we feel the wind, let's make a strong step
Let's go with the same speed, looking at the same scenery

* (repeat)

Thank you!!So beautiful^^

lyric-wise; this song is a great title-track! It's clearly all about going into a new phase; an unkown future. Let's see what she's got in store for us in 2009, shall we? :)

Awesome lyrics as usual!!! Thank you :)

AND! She said she wrote it for us...the fans. It's amazing. I was talking to my friend Misato about the album, concerning Sparkle, NEXT LEVEL and Curtain Call, and it seems her lyrics have become more simple, easy to understand, positive messages. That said, I LOVE NEXT LEVEL and まささん・・・どもありがとう！

Ayu is so cute in this song pv

beautiful lyric!!! thanks so much for translation!

Lol. It seems a little reminiscent of winding road and BLUE BIRD. But there's nothing wrong with having an easy breezy track as the title track. Doesn't have to be too serious i guess.

nice lyric, but i got a feeling that i've read it before. x_x

well i think it's hard to create a fresh lyric after you released more than 100 original lyrics. lol

I love this lyric

thanks

Many thanks for all your hard work !!

;)Thanks! I love this song
