なにげなく通ってたこの道がなんだか
寂しそうで毎日見ていたこの景色
なにも思ってなかったのに、なんだか涙が出てきて
もうこれで最後なんだってうつむいた
学校に行くことが嫌になった日
楽しく笑って帰った日、泣いて怒ってた日
今思い返すと、どれもが大切な思い出で
あっという間に毎日が過ぎ去って
僕たちは別々の道を歩んでいく
これからの僕たちは 自分の信じた道を進んで
今までの日々が、当たり前じゃなくなりそうだから
自分を信じて未来を信じてほしい
悲しみの涙が人を強くするから
〈 演奏 〉
初めて一緒に歩いた帰り道
胸が苦しくてどうしようもなく辛い
途切れそうになる会話も、君の笑顔が二人を
繋ぎ合わせてくれた
一緒に描いた机の落書き
もう今日で見ることが最後だと思うと
なぜだか不意に涙が出てきて
思い出が蘇ってくる
これからの僕たちは 自分の信じた道を進んで
少しずつ未来のページを描いていく
振り返ったっていい、後悔したっていい
思い出の涙が人を強くするから
〈 演奏 〉
これからの僕たちは 自分の信じた道を選んで
この日々がなくなる瞬間に僕たちは
思い出すあの日の日々
この日々を一生忘れない
自分を信じれるのは自分自身だから
これからの僕たちは 自分が信じた夢に向かって
終わりのこないエンドロールが待っているだから
後悔のないようにただ生きてほしい
みんなの笑顔がこの青空に 広がっていく

On the Road to Hope
-HIRAI-
This song is based on the simple, everyday moments of student life and the emotional farewell that comes with graduation. It portrays the value of the days we once took for granted, as well as the feelings we were unable to put into words, while expressing the journey of stepping forward into separate futures.
With a message that both laughter and tears shape who we are today, this is a heartfelt and genuine graduation song.
Artist Profile
-HIRAI-
Born on August 22, 2000, HIRAI is a singer-songwriter from Shiga, Japan, currently based in Tokyo. In 2021, he moved from his hometown of Shiga to Tokyo. While attending a vocational school, videos of his singing posted on TikTok began to attract attention, leading to rapid growth across social media. His total number of followers has now surpassed 35,000. With honest, down-to-earth lyrics influenced by his Kansai roots and a voice that connects deeply with listeners, HIRAI continues to expand his activities through street performances and social media. He originally balanced his music career while working as a hairstylist, but in late 2023, he made the decision to leave that profession and fully dedicate himself to music as a singer-songwriter. This marked the beginning of his journey as a full-time artist. During his middle school years, HIRAI experienced a period of school refusal and faced severe emotional struggles, reaching a point where he felt life had lost its meaning. It was during this darkest time that he discovered music. He realized that singing allowed him to express his true feelings honestly, which became the foundation of his artistic identity. These emotions were poured into his first original song, Muchi (Ignorance), a message to his past self and to others who may be struggling in similar ways. Through music that gently reassures listeners that they are not alone, HIRAI seeks to bring light to those who need it most. There are many who share the same experiences. That is why he continues to sing. So that he can become a light for someone else.
