[Verse 1: Aimer]
Katappo de maru wo tsukutte shikkari mottete
Mou katappo de sono maru no ushiro wo gurutto mawatte

Aida ni dekita Pokke ni haitte dete kuru no mattete
Detekita tokoro wo mukae ni kite
“Se-no” de hippatte

Hajime wa nantomo nasakenai katachi da toshite mo
Onaji dake chikara wo komete

[Hook: Aimer]
Hane wa ookiku musubime wa kataku
Naru youni kitsuku musundeitehoshii no
Ude wa koko ni omoide wa tooku ni
Oitoitehoshii hoshii no

[Verse 2: Aimer]
Katappo demo hippacchaeba hodokechau kedo
Tsukutta mono kowasu no wa haruka ni kantan dakedo
Dakedo hodoku toki mo sou, chanto onaji youni ne
Wakatteru yo demo dekitara ne
“Se-no” de hippatte

Hodoke ya shinai youni to negatte chikara komete wa
Hiroge sugita hane ni tomadou

[Hook: Aimer]
Hane wa ookiku musubime wa kataku
Naru youni kitsuku musundeite hoshii no
Yume wa koko ni omoide wa tooku ni
Kizukeba soko ni aru kurai ga ii

[Verse 3: Aimer]
Damatte hippattari shinaide yo
Bukakkou na chou ni shinaide yo
Musunda tsumori ga hodoiteitari
Yurumeta tsumori ga shimeteitari

[Verse 4: Aimer & Yojiro Noda]
Kono aokute hiroi sekai ni
Musuu ni chirabatta naka kara
Betsubetsu ni futari eranda ito wo
Otagai taguriyose atta nda

Musubaretan janaku musunda nda
Futari de “Se-No” de hippatta nda
Ookiku mo chiisaku mo narisugi nai youni
Chikara wo kometa nda

[Verse 4: Yojiro Noda]
Kono aokute hiroi sekai ni
Musuu ni chirabatta naka kara
Betsubetsu ni futari eranda ito wo
Otagai taguriyose atta nda

Musubaretan janaku musunda nda
Futari de “Se-No” de hippatta nda
Ookiku mo chiisaku mo narisugi nai youni
Chikara wo kometa nda

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.
