Matching pace with chosen[1] comrades,
Passing the long hours of this lengthy journey,
Talking about the road ahead together,
Let’s make a single, grand dream come true here and now
There are times when friends become rivals, but
By encouraging each other[2], forgiving each other, we shine together
I’ll believe in tomorrow, and shake off my hesitation
To the stage that I’ve longed for
The person I want to be, that I’ve seen in my dreams
Bit by bit I’ll run there[3]
That’s right, it’s still too soon
There’s still much that I can do,
Looking towards the heavens
I will reach out my hand for what's held before me
The future I’ve chosen shines a dazzling light
I’ve realized it was fault, my comrades and I talking at cross-purposes
It’s just this useless pride getting in the way
Those times when we’d fight and afterwards always get so upset
We talked through the night, and I reflected upon those days
Supporting each other, we finally made it to this place
I feel our unshakable bonds[4]
After being here and there, the fact that we've met
I'll turn it into reality now
My own dreams, my comrades' dreams, these precious treasures
That's why it's still too soon for me to give up yet
To the most wonderful stage
The extent of what I can do has no end
No matter what hardships come, if I'm with everyone, I will overcome[4]
I’ll believe in tomorrow, and shake off my hesitation
To the stage that I’ve longed for
I will reach out my hand for what's held before me
The future I’ve chosen is…
After being here and there, the fact that we've met
I'll turn it into reality now
My own dreams, my comrades' dreams, these precious treasures
That's why it's still too soon for me to give up yet
To the most wonderful stage
The extent of what I can do has no end
No matter what hardships come, if I'm with everyone, I will overcome

- The word here is the same as when he’s talking about the winners of the first poll.
- I put “encourage” because I wasn’t sure how else to fit it in. It’s like, “to enhance” or “to boost”? The closest I could get was “to raise each other up,” but even then I wasn’t sure.
- I wasn’t sure how to word this as well, since “running there” is only part of it. He’s running, but he’s also rising to it? Something like that.
- I love how fierce his voice is at these points? Kikuchi Ryou has mentioned that he put a lot of thought into how he sang this song, and I think it really shows.
- I really really like how this song ties together Hijiri’s character development so nicely.
- Adding another note to mention that I'm changing the lines "A future where I'm shining, sending off a dazzling light" and "A future where I'm shining…" into "The future I’ve chosen shines a dazzling light" and "The future I’ve chosen is…" for better accuracy
