40mP feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI – Smile again

40mP has finally released another new work, and this time featuring both Miku and GUMI!

If you are familiar with 40mP’s songs like “Futariboshi” or “Koufuku Shisuu”, both of which are one of my personal favorites from him, this combination is not actually new. Entitled “Smile again”, the song brings forth the calm and sweet feelings usually found in other works by 40mP.

As one of his fans since his early works, his music has always mesmerized me—as the theme of “life” is really profoundly clear from his works, which also reflected my own approach to music as a form of painting one’s view of life. Well then, here’s the song for you to enjoy. 🙂

Down here, I’m providing the romaji lyrics for the song; I also tried translating the lyrics. Enjoy!

Boku wa ima, oozora ni utau yo
sukoshi datte sukoshi datte kimi ga warau nara

boku wa ima, oozora ni utau yo
itsumo soba ni ite kurete arigatou

nanigenai kao shite sugoshiteita tte
shitteru yo kimi no koe ga itsumo kikoeru yo

dareka no kotoba ni kizutsuita yoru wa
hoshi no kazu no namida nagashite nemurou

Everything has a melody
kimagure ni utaidasu
ame ga yandara kono heya o tobidashite

Everything is gonna be alright
taiyou ga terashidasu
kaze ga fuitara ryoute wo hirogete

sukoshi datte sukoshi datte kimi ga warau nara

sore dake de shiawase ni naru kara

Let ‘s sing and smile again

itsu made mo itsu made mo

__________________________________

I am now singing in the sky
Even just a lil’ bit, even just a lil’ bit, as long as you’ll be able to smile

I am now singing in the sky
Thank you for always being close to me

Seeing you spending time with your usual face
I Know, I’ll always be able to hear your voice

In the night when you got hurt by someone’s words
Simply sleep under the tears of the stars

Everything has a melody
Sing out on a whim
When the rain has stopped, fly out of this room

Everything is gonna be alright
Bathed by the sun
Stretch your arms as the wind blows

I am now singing in the sky
Even just a lil’ bit, even just a lil’ bit, as long as you’ll be able to smile

I will be happy just because of that
Thank you for your magic-like smile

The anxiety when the end can’t be seen
The doubt when another day came to a close

Everyday that won’t go as expected
Even though I still don’t know about tomorrow

Parappa aiming for the rainbow
Parappa if I sing to the sky
It will definitely reach, and become a new rhythm

Now, starting from here

I am now singing in the sky
Even just a lil’ bit, even just a lil’ bit, as long as you’ll be able to smile

I will be happy just because of that
Thank you for your magic-like smile

I am now singing in the sky
As the cloud flows, the stars overflow, and the rainbow arches

I am now singing in the sky
Thank you for always being close to me

Let’s sing and smile again

Forever, forever
I want you to smile

Another thing that I almost forgot to add is 40mP’s message that he wrote alongside this song. It says:

“Happy New Year! I hope that there’ll be a lot of smiles too this year.”
