I Am Riri

Lyrics & Music: TAKUYA∞
Arrangement: UVERworld & Satoru Hiraide

In an abyss of sadness
She was singing sorrowfully

This is a tale of the remote past: that girl's name was Riri. She possessed a beautiful figure along with intelligence
Her singing voice healed everyone who listened, but someone envious of that said, "I'll ensnare her..."
Through the darkness and out of the woods, they lured her to that palace no one approached
Everything started from there

This is, this is a sorrowful story

4 meter concrete that obstructs light and snatches away body heat on all sides - a colorless scene
Tears exhausted, she was a distressed diva, and she no longer knew who she was
Singing to realize her meaning of existence, that much alone she was not going to give up
Within the tune of her melody, even her sadness disappeared; within her feelings that wouldn't reach anyone
Riri often sang this:
"Now I won't lose even that certain thing..."

Assert yourself

(Shout yourself hoarse)
I'm Riri, I'll shout out hope, despair, and the beauty of life
(Shout yourself hoarse)
I'm Riri, without seeing anything, it feels like even myself will disappear, so I'll show life by singing

Twisted circumstances, the countdown to destruction
Gaining a reputation with justice, convenient regulations and rules
Hating things like that, we took refuge in this live music club
"We can say we're the modern Riri"
The named called freedom, a body imprisoned since birth
On the pages where chance variation is meaningless, we want something, we want one thing; we who gather are a nuclear alliance

We'll let loose words now, yeah
Lift the eyes of your heart, like it
"I'm here"

Assert yourself

(Shout yourself hoarse)
You're Riri, c'mon sing, c'mon shout, this is your place
(Shout yourself hoarse)
You're Riri, if you say what you want to say, if it's a world you can't live in, shout here and connect with life

Assert yourself

(Shout yourself hoarse)
You're Riri, you shout out hope, despair, and the beauty of life
(Shout yourself hoarse)
You're Riri, c'mon sing, c'mon shout, here is your place
(Shout yourself hoarse)
You're Riri, c'mon I want to feel the fact that you're here
(Shout yourself hoarse)
If you say what you want to say, if it's a world you can't live in, shout here and connect with life

I Am Riri

Kanashimi no fuchi de
She was singing sorrowfully

Tooi mukashi no hanashi sono ko no na wa Riri utsukushii youshi ni kanesonaerareta chisei
