Ouroboros Theme Song, "Sakura", by Arashi

In case you haven't heard, Arashi is singing the theme song to TBS's new drama starring Ikuta Toma and Oguri Shun, Ouroboros!

I call this translation a stab in the dark because I'm pretty bad with interpreting lyrics. Well, I had fun giving a shot though!

Ouroboros Theme Song - SAKURA

The warmth in the voice I recalled
If I looked back, it’s as if I was breathing
As the flowers bloomed, the sky hurried to bring the light of dawn
So tell me why
There’s something beyond that light
But keep advancing in your dream, wanting to touch it
Open your heart
You can feel the love right there beside you
We’re bonded by kindness

If we could change the world someday
We’d be born again somewhere else
Turning the gift of the present into the future we were entrusted with
And we’ll still keep on searching for something tomorrow
Throwing off what hinders countless times
And tell of a new beginning
Always, it shall resound in this heart always

Should there be only one irreplaceable person in your life
You don’t have to be afraid of getting hurt at all
I wonder why we live
In this world, light and darkness draw closer
Wishes, dreams and even solitude
It’s but a stroke of luck

If we could change the world someday
We’d be born again somewhere else
Turning the gift of the present into the future we were entrusted with
And we’ll still keep on searching for something tomorrow
Throwing off what hinders countless times
And tell of a new beginning
Always, it shall resound in this heart always

Catch the sneak preview of the song here. You'd have to do the equivalent of a ear-squint because there's so much talking.

This song is amazing! Love that it sounds like their usual style, and yet it doesn't. I can't really describe it perfectly in words, but the song is beautiful. ♥

Thanks a lot for this. I didn't know that. I wonder if Arashi will release a pv even though the drama isn't one of theirs. I hope so. Arigatou :D

Otsukare sama desu :D
