Romaji Lyrics

Kattabakari no techou nakushita dake na no ni
Ashita ga mienai sonna kigashita no

Isso no koto wasuretai kedo sonna koto kangaeteitara
Kowakunatta sagashimono wa nani?

I wanna be… naritai jibun ni chikazuite imasu ka?
Toikakete miru tabi ni unazuite miru

I wanna be… “ichiban” ni nante naranakutatte ii no
Tsuzuketai I wanna be… soredake na no

Motto kiraku ni natte utatte yuketara
Kinou no koto nado kuyamu hazu wa nai

Isso no koto kokomade nandatte sonna fuu ni kimetsukete mitara
Kodoku no saki sasayaku no wa dare?

I wanna be… naritai jibun wa akogare no My Star
Kodomo no korokara zutto omoi tsuzuketa

I wanna be… kurabetarishinai kiri ga nai kara ne
Me wo tojitemo I wanna be…

Kangae sugitara dame datte wakatteru kara
Chotto kurai nara isogashii hou ga ii

I wanna be… naritai jibun ni chikazuite imasu ka?
Toikakete miru tabi ni unazuite miru

I wanna be… “ichiban” ni nante naranakutatte ii no
Tsuzuketai I wanna be… soredake na no

English Translation

I wanna be... [translation]

Simply by losing the diary which I’ve just bought
Makes me feel like I can’t envision tomorrow
I would rather forget all about it but when I ponder over it
What is the thing that I have come to fear searching for?

I wanna be… Am I close to who I want to be?
Everytime I try asking this, I attempt a nod
I wanna be… Not becoming something like “number one” is fine
Want this to continue I wanna be… That’s really all I want

As long as I’m able to become more carefree and be able to continue singing
Yesterday and all have no way of containing regret
When I attempt in this manner to simply leave everything the way it is now
Who will be the one who whispers before/ahead of loneliness?

I wanna be... I want to become my own much longed after ideal star
Ever since my childhood I’ve always thought about it
I wanna be… Ain’t gonna do comparisons because there are no limits to it
Even when closing my eyes I wanna be…

Because I know thinking too much isn’t good
So if it’s just for a moment I want to be preoccupied

I wanna be… Am I close to who I want to be?
Everytime I try asking this, I attempt a nod
I wanna be… Not becoming something like “number one” is fine
Want this to continue I wanna be… That’s really all I want
