English - translation

    And then we always brush off our dusty clothes with a smile on our face...
    If I let go of this hand, the silently falling coin will never return...
    I want to beat the rising sun together, you and I...(bicycle)

      On Your Mark - Every time we start running
      we get struck by the cold that's going around...
      On Your Mark - But we don't stop because we feel
      we can look up at the slopes of our dreams and make it through...

    And then we brush each other off within the small lot in our hearts...
    conversation reaches nightfall...
    Never a response, as if that were the response.
    Like reading the numbers on a clock with no hands...
    You and I, we are too young to completely accept each other...

      On Your Mark - Every time we start running
      we get struck by the cold that's going around...
      On Your Mark - We can't lose this thing we've got
      so we can call each other towards the heart of our dreams...

    And then we...

      On Your Mark - Every time we start running
      we get struck by the cold that's going around...
      On Your Mark - But we don't stop because we feel
      we can look up at the slopes of our dreams and make it through...

    And then we...

      On Your Mark - Every time we start running
      we get struck by the cold that's going around...
      On Your Mark - We can't lose this thing we've got
      so we can call each other towards the heart of our dreams...

    On Your Mark...Get..Set..Go...

    ...and then we....


Japanese - straight phonetic translation

    Soshite bokurawa itsumono egao to sugatade
    hokorini mamireta fukuwo haratta.
    Konotewo hanaseba otosae tatenai
    ochiteyuku "coin" wa nidoto kaeranai.
    Kimi to boku narande

pronounciations:
a - as in armageddon
e - as in egg
i - as in the "e" in eat
o - as in oatmeal
u - as in Uganda

vowels are all distinctly enunciated, never combined like in english.
r's are rolled like in spanish, but not as much.
