In 2011, Machico participated in Horipro's 36th Talent Scout Caravan, but lost to Tadokoro Azusa (田所あずさ). However, she and several other finalists were offered a contract with Horipro. She made her music debut in 2012 and in October of the same year held her first solo concert at Rock Maykan.
Million Smile
MACHICO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
明日は明日の風が吹くからいいじゃない
「夢は夢だからいい」とか
本当は叶えたいなら一緒に飛ぼう
100万回の涙 100万回の笑顔
足して引いて掛けて割って0だ 前を向きましょう
ここからどこまでも行けるさ どこまでも行くのさ
ため息数えてもキリがないでしょ？
特別じゃなくても本物にはなれる
君次第で全て変わる だから
なんて素晴らしいEveryday
等身大とかっていうけど
ある朝夢が膨らんじゃってたらどうする？
ポケットいっぱいの希望
溶け出す「まだ行ける」の言葉は嘘じゃない
一生分の弱音 一生分の勇気
静かに狙いを定めたなら 声に出しましょう
変えられない昨日があっても 今日は変えて行ける
「どうしようもない」なんてもう勘弁でしょ？
幸せはいつでも君の隣にある
迷わず掴み取っていいよ 君と一緒に
笑いたいEveryday
ここからどこまでも行けるさ どこまでも行くのさ
ため息数えてもキリがないんだ
特別じゃなくても本物になりたい
目を開いたらそこに君がいた
想像上の筋書きを書き換えて行くのさ
定番の結末なんていらない
ああ そっか 僕らはいつでも
自由を手に進んで行くんだね
君と一緒に走り出せば 世界は変わる
なんて素晴らしいEveryday
The lyrics to MACHICO's song Million Smile speak about the importance of maintaining positivity and hope, even during difficult times. The first verse acknowledges the reality of life's challenges and setbacks, but asserts that a new tomorrow will come with its own opportunities. The second verse encourages embracing one's dreams and pursuing them to achieve genuine happiness. The chorus emphasizes the value of both tears and smiles, the dynamic qualities of life, and how to move forward with determination despite setbacks. The third verse suggests that one should not wait for something extraordinary to happen, and instead, find value in ordinary moments. The bridge urges that one should create their own story as opposed to following traditional paths, and that true freedom comes from taking action to achieve one's dreams. The song ends on a high note with the singer and listener empowered to change the world for the better.
