Saishuuheiki, Kimi ~ 最終兵器、君; You, the Final Weapon
Lyrics: RINA ~ Music & Arrangement: MAMI

Shirokujichuu jinsei geemu
Me wo sorashitemo nigerarenai

Kyuukutsu na mainichi wo uchikowashite hashirinuketai
Hontou no teki wa itsumo yowaki na jibun
Kawaritai nara

Kamaero

Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Saikou no imeeji wo omoiegaku
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda kimi nanda
Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Darenimo nitenai yarikata de
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda uchihanatsu kibou

Oikoshite hanasarete kurikaeshi ima wa doko da?
Sono saki ga shiritakute tsumikasaneru namida no hibi
Umaku ikanai kyou wo misutenaide
Muda ja nai kara

Makeru na

Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Saidai no sukeeru de tachimukau
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda kimi nanda
Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Darenimo mane dekinai ikikata de
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda tsukami toru mirai

Atarashii sekai made te wo nobase
Atarashii sekai made te wo nobase

Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Saikou no imeeji wo omoiegaku
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda kimi nanda
Saishuuheiki wa kimi nanda
Darenimo nitenai yarikata de
Saishuuteki ni wa kimi nanda kimi nanda uchihanatsu kibou

English Translation

Life's a 24/7 game
You can't escape even if you look away

You want to break through and destroy the rigid days
The true enemy is always your own weakness
If you want to change

Then get ready

Your ultimate weapon is you
Envisioning the perfect image
In the end it's you, you, you
Your ultimate weapon is you
Doing things unlike anyone else
In the end it's you, you - Shooting rays of hope

Now racing ahead, now falling behind - Where are you now?
Wanting to know what's ahead, you've cried day after day
Don't give up on today if things aren't going right
Because it's still worthwhile

Don't give in

Your ultimate weapon is you
Facing it all on the grandest scale
In the end it's you, you, you
Your ultimate weapon is you
No one can copy the way you live
In the end it's you, you - Take hold of the future

Reach for a new world
Reach for a new world

Your ultimate weapon is you
Envisioning the perfect image
In the end it's you, you, you
Your ultimate weapon is you
Doing things unlike anyone else
In the end it's you, you - Shooting rays of hope

From the lyrics alone, you can tell it looks very anime-ish iynwim

Very impressive display of courage, strength and wisdom. Wish I'd had that level of maturity way back when.

Thanks for the translation TGE

Such a tough song, with  tough and encouraging lyrics.

Love when they do encouraging positive songs

May I use this for a japanese grammar question? Isn't "Saishuuheiki wa kimi" already "You are the ultimate weapon"? What does the "nanda" adds to it? 

Tuba wrote:What does the "nanda" adds to it?

It adds emphasis to the noun that comes before it (kimi = you). It's basically saying, "You are the ultimate/final weapon. No one else is. It's you!"

I love the lyrics of this song, it's a bit of what we are used to for a while, and I adore it. (A little bit less in Honey for being a "love album") But I really like this type of lyrics.

Great lyrics
Great song
Great arrangement
Great Band
