Artist Comments
Pursuing your dreams and goals, you will be chased by the frustration, pain and anxiety of failure. However, I believe that the light that shines on a person is the heart that allows them to get carried away in the face of these challenges. When I read the original story, I felt that kind of straightforward light in Sora Kurumatani. I wrote this new song "Taiyou Runner" with the image of a strong heart that burns itself like the sun and gives light of hope to the people around it. I hope it will be a light that shines in the hearts of those who are chasing their dreams. (By Shogo Sakamoto)

Egaita yume tsukamu no wa
Kantan janai tte wakatterukedo
Saisho kara " murida " tte dakyō shiteru
Hito no me hikar wa mienai
Miageru sora no kōseitachi wa
Itsumo inochi o moyashite hikatteru
Boku ni datte
Taiyō rannā kokoro o kanzen nenshō
Gōru e kakumei no hikari hanatsuyo
Rasuto rei byō sore made kekka nante wakaranaisa
Akireru hodo onore o koete hashiritsuzukeruyo
STEP 1! shōri o māku shite
STEP 2! imēji wakasete
STEP 3! tada zenryoku de penetoreito
描いた夢 掴むのは
簡単じゃないって分かってるけど
最初から「無理だ」って妥協してる
人の瞳(め) 光は見えない
見上げる空の恒星たちは
いつも命を燃やして光ってる
僕にだって
太陽ランナー 心を完全燃焼
ゴールへ 革命の光 放つよ
ラスト0秒 それまで結果なんて分からないさ
呆れるほど 己を超えて走り続けるよ
STEP1！ 勝利をマークして
STEP2！ イメージ 湧かせて
STEP3！ ただ全力でペネトレイト
I know that realizing dreams
Is not an easy thing to accomplish, but
Those who say it's impossible from the beginning
Can't see the light with their eyes
Up above in the sky are the fixed stars
That always shine bright with life
I can, too
Sun Runner with a heart burning at maximum
Radiating the light of revolution towards the goal
Nobody can know the outcome until the very last second
I'll keep on running and improving until I don't recognize myself
Step 1! Focus on winning
Step 2! Imagine the future
Step 3! Just penetrate through at full power

描いた夢 掴むのは
簡単じゃないって分かってるけど
最初から「無理だ」って妥協してる
人の瞳(め) 光は見えない
見上げる空の恒星たちは
いつも命を燃やして光ってる
僕にだって
太陽ランナー 心を完全燃焼 不安も後悔も残らないほどに
そうさ 信じてみないと何もはじまらないさ
悲観という その重たい足枷を外すよ
順風満帆な人に対して 羨みは尽きないけど
悔しさや嫉妬こそが 何より努力のはじまりさ
望んだ景色 あと何度見れるの？
命なんて一瞬さ 最期に笑っていたい
挑戦状を突きつける 心臓の奥 住みついた惰性という敵へと
可能か不可能か 最終的に決めるのは自分だよ
灰になるまでしぶとく前進を
放つ光 いつか誰かの心照らし そこに芽を出す
「無理だ」って言うあの人の心にも
花を咲かせられるように
(ボロボロになってもいつだって夢中だ)
何回だって地面を蹴る
太陽ランナー 心を完全燃焼
ゴールへ 革命の光 放つよ
ラスト0秒 それまで結果なんて分からないさ
呆れるほど 己を超えて走り続けるよ
STEP1！ 勝利をマークして
STEP2！ イメージ 湧かせて
STEP3！ ただ全力でペネトレイト
I know that realizing dreams
Is not an easy thing to accomplish, but
Those who say it's impossible from the beginning
Can't see the light with their eyes
Up above in the sky are the fixed stars
That always shine bright with life
I can, too
Sun Runner, burn your heart completely so that there will be no more worries or regrets
Yes, nothing starts if you don't start believing
Remove the pessimism that weighs you down
Feelings of envy keep coming up towards people with an easy life
But frustration and jealousy is the beginning to push yourself harder
How many times can I see the scenery I hoped for
Life is short, I want to laugh in the end
Coasting through life is the enemy that lives in my heart, I'll challenge it to change
Possible or impossible, it's what you decide in the end
Keep going forward all the way to till you burn to ashes
Release a light, someday it'll shine in someone's heart and it will sprout
So that a flower can bloom in the heart of someone who's saying
"it's impossible"
(I always give my all even if I am scarred up)
I'll kick the ground again and again
Sun Runner with a heart burning at maximum
Radiating the light of revolution towards the goal
Nobody can know the outcome until the very last second
I'll keep on running and improving until I don't recognize myself
Step 1! Focus on winning
Step 2! Imagine the future
Step 3! Just penetrate through at full power
