Hitori hoshi ni mai orite
Sabaku no naka mitsuke dashita
Boku no te ni fureta sono hana
Chiisaku furueteta

Kono ai (plus) you (plus) I (ikooru) wa nani?
Boku no koe ga kikoeru kana?
Sukoshi tooku ni iru no kana?
Sora ni kazatta hana wo mite
Futari waraiaeru kana?

Ai yo todoke mada mada saki e
Motto tooku e hibiki watatte
Chiisana hoshi no ookina ai ga
Anata e todoke

Chiisana koro yondeita
E hon no naka mitsuke dashita
Poketto ni
Ireta himitsu wo
Itsuka wa
Misetakute

Kono ai (plus) YOU (plus) I (ikooru) mo ai?
Suki na hana wa sodateru kara
Suki na uta mo oboeteta kara
Kusa no kanmuri tsukuttara
Kitto waraiaeru kana?

Ai yo todoke anata no hoshi e
Motto tooku de oto wo narashite
Chiisana koi ga kanadeta uta ga
Yozora ni hibike
Ai (plus) you (plus) I (ikooru) wa nani?
Onaji sora wo miteiru kana?
Sukoshi tooku ni iru no kana?
Onaji kimochi de iraretara
Zutto waraiaeru yo ne

Ai yo todoke mada mada saki e
Motto tooku e hibiki watatte
Chiisana hoshi no ookina ai ga
Anata e todoke

Ai yo todoke anata no hoshi e
Motto tooku de oto wo narashite
Chiisana koi ga kanadeta uta ga
Yozora ni hibike

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
