Lyric

TOP RUNNER

IAN KOJIMA

誰かと比べるのではなく

誰かを羨むのではなく

誰かと争うのではなく

誰もが一世のランナー

したたる汗が目に沁みる

悔し涙が眼に滲む

それでも僕らは明日に怯えず

擦り切れた夢を抱え

走るのさ

アスファルト焦がす情熱を

僕は今も探している

天に燃ゆる情熱を

僕は今も探している

一つの道を走り抜く強さを

一つの道を守り抜く厳しさを

苦しみ泣き叫ぶ声が

未来を待てず過去に溺れてゆく

さぁ、勇気の風になれ

紅く燃ゆる勇気の風になれ

傷だらけの天使よ、風になれ

    TOP RUNNER

    IAN KOJIMA

July 4th, 2000, Independence Day in the United States.
With my acoustic guitar in a hard case hiking backpack, I set out on a journey around Japan singing and playing on the streets.
I embarked on this year and a half journey, relying only on my instincts like a wild animal.
I gained a lot and lost a lot on this journey.
These mysterious experiences gave me new wisdom and ideas.
But at the same time, they robbed me of my humanity and sociability.
After the journey ended, I became a social misfit and faced a long, painful, lonely time trying to adapt to society.
Many of the works that were born from this experience are included on this album.
These powerful works, which seem to have overcome adversity and are crawling out of the depths of darkness, will surely move your soul.
