No wonder I like this song so much: MICRO wrote it ♥ ! It's a nice little bonus to this being my favourite SMAP song. ~~I might come back and fix some word choices here and there, but that's more me being OCD and less about it being wrong.~~ done! Now it can stop bugging me!

kanji
TAKE OFF　OFF　OFF　OFF...

*1 鏡の中の僕は
　晴れやかな顔で笑ってる
背中の翼を　力一杯広げて

*2 TAKE OFF　飛び立つ時だ
TAKE OFF　もう大丈夫さ
TAKE OFF　幸せつかみに
Fly higher higher

何気なく出歩く昼下がり
見慣れた景色　いつもの街並
公園ではしゃいでる子供達
昔の自分とふと重ねていた
あの頃はもっと　毎日がきっと
キラキラ輝き　いつも笑っていたのに
大人になり　壁にぶつかったり
繰り返す度にまた臆病になる

孤独の殻に閉じこもり
一人心閉ざしてた
このままじゃダメだ
I gotta keep my head up baby
今からでも遅くない
新しい自分探しに行こう
過去の弱さに　SAY GOOD BYE!!

*1, *2 repeat

TAKE OFF　OFF　OFF　OFF...

誰にも負けない物何か一つ
目を閉じ探す　心のアルバム
見つかれば　It's show time!
羽ばたける！　本当の自分を今、取り戻した
少年の時代に　飛ばした紙飛行機
もろくても自由に　風を切っていた様に
未来への鍵　「ほんの少しの勇気」
それさえあれば　いつだって飛び出せる

後戻りなんてもうしない
　思い切り当たって砕けろ
どんな時でも
You gotta keep your head up baby
斜め45°上
　常に顔上けて　歩いて行こう
明日の僕らに　SAY HELLO!!

TAKE OFF OFF OFF OFF

Shining inside of me
A bright face when I smile
The powerful wings on my back spread fully open

TAKE OFF It's time to fly
TAKE OFF It's all right
TAKE OFF To catch my happiness
Fly higher higher

Inadvertently walking in the early afternoon
I got used to seeing the everyday miracles in this town
The children frolicking in the park
Suddenly felt like deja vu
Even though every day I was certainly
Always smiling radiantly
I became an adult and hit the wall
Looking back, I still became a coward

I put a wall around my memories
And locked away my one heart
It's hopeless to keep going like this
I gotta keep my head up baby
Even now it's not too late
I'll go and find my new self
To my weak past I'll SAY GOODBYE

Shining inside of me
A bright face when I smile
The powerful wings on my back spread fully open

TAKE OFF It's time to fly
TAKE OFF It's all right
TAKE OFF To catch my happiness
Fly higher higher

TAKE OFF OFF OFF OFF

There's something I won't lose to anyone
I close my eyes and look for it
the heart's ALBUM
If I find it IT'S SHOW TIME
I'll flap my wings!
The real me will get it back right now
To my younger days, I sent a paper airplane
Even fragile ones, to cut freely through the wind
The key to my future, "just a little courage"
Because when I have just that
I'll be able to fly

I can't backtrack
I'll break through with all my strength
No matter what
You've gotta keep your head up baby
At a 45° angle
Always showing a smile, I'll walk on
To tomorrow's me I'll SAY HELLO!!

What's shining inside of me
A bright face when I smile
The powerful wings on my back spread fully open

TAKE OFF It's time to fly
TAKE OFF It's all right
TAKE OFF To catch my happiness
Fly higher higher

Sky high feel the wind blowin'
Fluttering in midair looking for something
Sky high feel the wind blowin'
Fluttering in midair looking for something
We got to keep flyin'

Shining inside of me
A bright face when I smile
The powerful wings on my back spread fully open

TAKE OFF It's time to fly
TAKE OFF It's all right
TAKE OFF To catch my happiness
Fly higher higher

If the night is ending I'll keep climbing toward the morning
Beyond the sadness there is joy
So don't worry and trust in yourself
1, 2, 3 TAKE OFF!!

TAKE OFF OFF OFF OFF
