The curtain's only just been raised
Nothing's really started yet
But now's the time - from here on out
Your light begins to shine for real
You held back so many days
Those ordinary times are gone
But now's the time - from here on out
Your heart is finally breaking free
Everything you’ve lived through
Was just the prologue for what's next
Now this is your stage!
Now it's your turn!
Come on, stand up!
You’ve been ready all along
You knew it in your heart
You endured and waited long enough
Now it’s your moment to step forth
Every step until today
Built the strength you carry now
Now this is your stage!
Now it's your road!
Come on, go for it!
Step by step, up every stair
A wider world is waiting there
Spotlights shining just for you
You’re the main character of this story!
Can you see them - all the people gathering?
Can you hear them - all the voices cheering loud?
Everyone is here
Waiting for your move forward
That’s right!
You’re unstoppable - no one can stand against you!
So many trials, you stumbled many times
You’ve taken wounds enough to know the pain
Yet every time, you clenched your teeth
Told yourself “Don’t quit, don’t break!”
You lifted your gaze again
Never letting your spirit fade
So now, no matter what comes, you’re ready
I just keep moving forward, giving everything I’ve got
So watch me now
So cheer me on!
Step by step, up every stair
A wider world is waiting there
Spotlights shining just for you
You’re the main character of this story!
Can you see them - all the people gathering?
Can you hear them - all the voices cheering loud?
Everyone is here
Waiting for your move forward
That’s right!
You’re unstoppable - no one can stand against you!
Can you see it - the endless horizon?
Can you hear it - the heartbeat of the world?
Everyone is here
Waiting for tomorrow’s light
That’s right!
You’re unstoppable - no one can stand against you!
That’s right!
You’re unstoppable - no one can stand against you!
This is your stage
Your one and only stage
(We were born crying under the sun
Voices raised and shining bright
No one stands alone in life
Together, we become even stronger)
Every story has its shine…
From now on, from now on…
From now on, it’s your stage!

Artist Profile
Chao
I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
