Raise your flag , the only one
Don't look back! You don't let me down
Rushing out to rising sun
Nothing but the heart or crown
Raise your flag , the only one
Don't look back! You don't let me down
Rushing out to rising sun
Nothing but the heart or crown

Itsuka no ONE TWO STEP odotte i ta
ON & ON de yurashi te
TWO-FIVE-ONE de narashi te
Dondon tōku hirogatte You're the one

(Raise your flag , the only one
Don't look back! You don't let me down
Rushing out to rising sun
Nothing but the heart or crown)

Kimi wa itsu datte koe o karashi te
Waratte nai te utatte
ONE BY ONE de kizan de
Yūkan de i tai to negau

Sōzō ijō ni igan da sekai datta toshite
Starting over mukō e

Kakage ta te o orosa nai de
Namida wa shimatte oi te
Takaraka ni koe age te ii yo
Kimi dake no hata furikazashi te
Ashita o osore nai de
Kawara nai ashidori o You keep on

Utae... (Raise your flag , the only one)
Susume... (Don't look back! You don't let me down)
Todoke... (Rushing out to rising sun)
You're the one (Nothing but the heart or crown)

(Raise your flag , the only one
Don't look back! You don't let me down)

Kimi wa itsu datte mune o kogashi te
Amaku te chotto nigaku te
Kyōshitsu no soto ni mukatte
Dondon sore wa fukuran de

Dare ka ga kime ta kimi no “kimi rashi sa” nante
Turning over sugao de

Ao sa wa mugen no ONE WAY e
Tenohira sora ni oi te
Akogare wa koe ni shi te ii yo
Asahi no mukō no ONE DAY e
Sukoshi dake senobi shi te
Kimi dake ni hanataba o You beam on

Warae... (Raise your flag , the only one)
Hazume... (Don't look back! You don't let me down)
Odore... (Rushing out to rising sun)
You're the one (Nothing but the heart or crown)

Furidashi kara fumidasu ichi ho wa
Mae yori mo zutto tsuyoi kara

Kakage ta te o orosa nai de
Namida mo sarakedashi te
Takaraka ni koe age te ii yo
Kanae tai yume shitsu kusa nai de
Kagayakeru sono hi made
Kawara nai ashidori o You keep on

Utae... (Raise your flag , the only one)
Susume... (Don't look back! You don't let me down)
Todoke... (Rushing out to rising sun)
You're the one (Nothing but the heart or crown)

(Raise your flag , the only one
Don't look back! You don't let me down
Rushing out to rising sun
Nothing but the heart or crown)

Aimer

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.
