Lyrics

Original Japanese Lyrics	Japanese Transliteration	English Translation
遥か空の星がひどく輝いて見えたから 僕は震えながら　その光を追いかけた 割れた鏡の中いつかの自分を見つめていた 強くなりたかった　何もかもに憧れていた 君は風に吹かれて　翻る帽子見上げ 長く短い旅をゆく 遠い日の面影 君が望むなら　それは強く応えてくれるのだ 今は全てに恐れるな 痛みを知るただ一人であれ いまに枯れる花が　最後に僕へと語りかけた 「姿見えなくとも　遥か先で見守っている」と そうだ　君は打ちひしがれて　削れていく心根 物語の始まりは 微かな寂しさ 君の手が触れた　それは引き合う孤独の力なら 誰がどうして奪えるものか 求めあえる　命果てるまで 輝く星は言う　木の葉の向こうから 君はただ見つめる　未来を想いながら 僕らは進む　何も知らずに彼方のほうへ 君が望むなら　それは強く応えてくれるのだ 今は全てに恐れるな 痛みを知る　ただ一人であれ 微かに笑え　あの星のように 痛みを知る　ただ一人であれ	Haruka sora no hoshi ga hidoku kagayaite mietakara Boku wa furuenagara sono hikari wo oikaketa Wareta kagami no naka itsuka no jibun wo mitsumete ita Tsuyoku naritakatta nanimokamo ni akogarete ita Kimi wa kazenifukarete hirugaeru bōshi miage Nagaku mijikai tabi wo yuku Tōihino omokage Kimi ga nozomunara sore wa tsuyoku kotaete kureru noda Ima wa subete ni osoreru na Itami wo shiru tadahitorideare Ima ni kareru hana ga saigo ni boku e to katarikaketa "Sugata mienakutomo haruka-saki de mimamotte iru" to Sōda kimi wa uchi hishiga rete kezurete iku kokorone Monogatari no hajimari wa Kasukana sabishisa Kimi no te ga fureta sore wa hikiau kodoku no chikaranara Dare ga dōshite ubaeru mono ka Motome aeru inochihaterumade Kagayaku hoshi wa iu konoha no mukō kara Kimi wa tada mitsumeru mirai wo omoinagara Bokura wa susumu nani mo shirazu ni kanata no hō e Kimi ga nozomunara sore wa tsuyoku kotaete kureru noda Ima wa subete ni osoreru na Itami wo shiru tadahitorideare Kasuka ni warae ano hoshinoyōni Itami wo shiru tadahitori de are	The distant star in the sky looked awfully bright, so I chased after its light as I trembled I stared at my former self in a broken mirror I wanted to be strong. I was in awe of everything Looking up at a hat fluttering in the wind, You go on a long but short journey —Traces of bygone days It will respond strongly when you wish for it Now, don't be afraid of everything Be the only one who knows pain A flower about to wither away spoke to me for the last time, "Even if you can't see me, I'm watching over you from afar." Yes, you are devastated, and your spirit is eroding. The story begins with A faint loneliness Your hand touched mine. How can anyone take it away if it's the Power of solitude attracting us? We'll seek each other until our lives end The stars shining from behind the tree leaves say You are just staring, thinking of the future We will move toward the horizon, unaware of anything It will respond strongly when you wish for it Now, don't be afraid of everything Be the only one who knows pain Smile faintly, like that star Be the only one who knows pain

Trivia

• The song's title refers to how Ultraman was supposed to come from "Nebula M87" in the original script, but ultimately became Nebula M78 due to a printing error.
  • In an interview, Yonezu stated that the film's director Shinji Higuchi suggested the name.
