[Verse 1]
Chīsana koro no chīsana negai wa
Dare no tame ni dondon ōkiku natta

Everyone never knows
Kasanetsuzukesugita uso ni
No one finds me
Wakaranakunaru yo You’re a Black Bird

[Chorus]
Sugu ni ochite iki sō da
Marude hitori no suteiji
Makkurayami de koe o karasu yo I cry
Kitto sora no tobi kata nante
Dare mo oshiete kurenakatta yo
Massakasama ni umi no soko ni I fall

[Verse 2]
Aisareru yō na dare ka ni naritakatta dake

Anata no me nara yuganda sekai no
Nan mo ka mo ga donna ni kirei darō
Itsu ka kanau to
Sagashitsuzukete kita asa ni
No one finds me
Tomadoi nagara Black Bird

[Chorus 2]
Fui ni kiete iki sō da
Kyū ni hikaridasu keshiki
Makka na taiyō hane o tokasu yo I fly
Konna koe no nakigoe nante
Dare mo kizuite kurenakatta yo
Makkurokoge ni mi o kogashite I walk

[Bridge]
Dakishimeru yō na anata ni naritakatta dake

[Chorus 1]
Sugu ni ochite iki sō da
Fui ni kiete iki sō de
Makkurayami de koe o karasu yo I cry
Zutto sora no tobi kata nante…

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.
