The role of popular heroine Multi the android in the Playstation version and anime adaptation of the classic bishoujo game To Heart helped launch a good start for Horie. The biggest turning point in her career was her role as the heroine Narusegawa Naru in the 2000 anime adaptation of the popular Akamatsu Ken manga series Love Hina.
Following the release of her first single, 「my best friend」 in 1998, she now has 19 singles, 10 studio albums and 2 BEST albums credited solely to her name. In addition, she is often associated with character and insert songs from the various anime projects she gets involved in, most recently of which are the opening and ending songs for the anime series 「Ｇｏｌｄｅｎ Ｔｉｍｅ」. Her songs are described to be generally "bright" and "cheerful" although some tracks have traces of melancholy as well.
翼
堀江由衣 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
息を吸い込む
緑の匂う空き地 見慣れた風景
今日より明日の方が 違う景色を
抱き締めていられるために
助走をつけて
この翼を大きく広げ
見つけて行きたい
大切なものを
もう心に溢れる羽根が
待ち切れなくって
鼓動が駆け足で何度も
騒がしく過ぎる
毎日が好き
大空を飛んだ夢を見て
目を覚ましたなら
なんでも出来る気がして
街へと出掛けた
今なら転んだって 立ち上がれそう
涙をこらえれば
強くなれる気がする
この翼が羽ばたく限り
試してみたいの
生まれてきた意味も勇気も
刻んで飛びたい
もう心に溢れる想い
持ち切れなくって
加速してもっと遠くへと
望み続けてる
生き方が好き
ずっと探して来たもの
「大切なもの」は
時間が教えてくれるもの
見えてくるものだった
この翼が羽ばたく限り
夢がある限り
なくさない情熱がきっと 見つけた
見つめてきた全てのものが
何より大切なものだと
気づき始めてる
だからゴールなんていらない
まだ見ぬ 世界へこの翼を飛ばし
行きたいの
The lyrics to the song 翼 by 堀江由衣 are a testament to the burning desire within us to explore the unknown and bravely confront the challenges that lie ahead. The singer of the song begins by looking up at the vast sky and taking a deep breath in order to summon the courage to embark on their journey. They find themselves standing in a familiar landscape, a green space that they know well, but they are determined to seek out something different and more meaningful in the future. To do this, they set off with a running start and spread their wings wide, determined to discover the treasures that await them in the world beyond.
As they fly higher and higher, they feel their heart beating rapidly with anticipation and excitement. Even when the journey is difficult and the noise of the world around them threatens to overwhelm them, they remain resolute in their conviction that this is the way they want to live their lives. Whether they are testing their limits by exploring new territory or finding strength in the face of adversity, they know that they have the power to overcome anything as long as they keep flying toward their goals.
