Kinou kara tsudzuiteiru fuan no tane wa
Mayonaka tobitatsu yowai jibun de obieteru
Mado kara sashikomu yasashii hikari
Mada mita koto no nai asu no jibun o terashiteru

Doushite itoshii no?
Sayonara wa kimeta hazu yo?
Mou nidoto aenakunaru wake janai

Egao de ite… kyou mo asu mo itsudemo
Egao de ite… waratte

Kioku dake tsumuideru fuan na ito o
Tsumetai machi no sumikko de hitori tadotteru
Anata ga sashidasu yasashii migite
Tsutawaru nukumori sono subete oboeteru

Doushite samishii no?
Dareka no ondo ga hoshii no?
Kodoku to shousoukan de wakaranai

Egao de ite… kyou mo asu mo omoide mo
Egao de ite… waratte

Nani o negai oikakete koko made kitandarou?
Ima no watashi wa jouzu ni waraeteru ka na?

Egao de ite… namida koboresou demo
Egao de ite… kyou mo asu mo itsudemo
Egao de ite… waratte

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.
