Shota Shimizu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La la la la, la la la la la la, oh yeah
大好きだよ 愛してるよ
そんな言葉は必要ないよね
いつでも思っているから
To family 僕ら歌うよ
わき上がる感情 一人ではないこと
実感できるこの瞬間
これからも何度だって声を張って繰り返すんだ
踏んだり蹴ったりばかりの春夏秋冬
きっと一人ならそっこう10カウントのはずが
今もこうして立ち上がってる
たくさんじゃなくたって しっかり笑えてる
「余計なお世話かも」なんてむだな質問
俺が俺であるためにはあなたが必要
いつも 本気でそう思えてる
だからどんな波が来ても ちゃんと乗り越えてく
両親 弟とその家族共々
地元や音楽の仲間 だって一緒
一生この声かすれない限り
何度だっていうぜ また thank you my family
大好きだよ 愛してるよ
そんな言葉は必要ないよね
いつでも思っているから
To family 僕ら歌うよ
Yo あれは15歳いつも変わらず
仲間と交わす話は欠かさず
"必ず叶える"
一歩一歩自分の足で ありのままで
その中で時には裏切られ 見放され
未来さえ暗くなって
辛くなって逃げ出したりもした
共に涙流した
今思えば 全て必然
出会えた事もほんのわずか数%
だからオレはここで歌うだけ
これまでの過ち償うため
みんなに出会えて良かった
大事な family がいて良かった
ずっと F-A-M-I-L-Y
いつになっても変わらない絶対
大好きだよ 愛してるよ
そんな言葉は必要ないよね
いつでも思っているから
To family 僕ら歌うよ
Family と呼び合う度に
何かが心に刻まれてく
膝抱える おまえの隣で
一緒に泣いたっけ 忘れてないぜ
どんなに離れていようと
いつかまた皆で集まろうよ
その笑顔があるからやってける
笑っていれる ありがとう
Oh family それは暖かな日だまり
Family 守るべき居場所
ここから始めよう
たしかな絆と深い愛で
満たされた every season
失敗失態やらかして
心折れそうな時でも
その笑顔と馬鹿みたいなジョークで 吹き飛ばせた (oh, oh) oh yeah
仲間と音楽 乾杯するバーカン前はいつも
Happy で満ちて元気をくれるよ
This is for all my family
大好きだよ 愛してるよ (愛してるよ)
そんな言葉は必要ないよね
いつでも思っているから
To family 僕ら歌うよ (歌うよ)
大好きだよ 愛してるよ
そんな言葉は必要ないよね
いつでも思っているから
To family 僕ら歌うよ

The lyrics of "Family" by Shota Shimizu ft. KEN THE 390, SHUN, and COMA-CHI is a heartfelt tribute to the importance of family and close friends in one's life. The song expresses gratitude towards one's loved ones and celebrates the moments shared with them irrespective of the ups and downs of life. Hearkening back to a conversation shared by the singer with his close friends at the age of 15, where they made a promise to each other to pursue their dreams, the song is a reminder of the support and love that keeps us going. The lyrics say that just like how we do not need to express our love to our families in words always because they are always in our thoughts, the singer and his friends sing for their family because music speaks where words fall short. The song is an ode to the connections that keep us grounded and help us navigate the journey of life; the bonds that make us feel that we are not alone in the world.
The song's impact can be simply understood by the fact that it has amassed over 12 million views on YouTube and has left an everlasting impression on its listeners through its emotionally charged lyrics. The lyrics perfectly capture the essence of cherishing family, close ones, and the role they play in our life journey. Here, "Family" is not limited to a family by blood but includes friends and people who have become our support system through thick and thin. It emphasizes the power of unbreakable relationships that are built over time with mutual support and love. What makes the song even more special is the fact that it is a collaborative effort, beautifully interconnected through the collective experiences of the collaborating artists.

Back when I was 15, I was the same
仲間と交わす話は欠かさず
I always talked with my friends
"必ず叶える”
"We'll definitely make it happen"
一歩一歩自分の足で ありのままで
One step at a time, being true to ourselves
その中で時には裏切られ、見放され
Sometimes we're betrayed and abandoned
未来さえ暗くなって
Even the future seems bleak
辛くなって逃げ出したりもした
And it gets so hard we feel like running away
共に涙流した
But we shed tears together
今思えば 全て必然
Now, looking back, it was all meant to be
出会えた事もほんのわずか数%
And the chance of us meeting was so small
だからオレはここで歌うだけ
So that's why I'm here, singing this song
これまでの過ち償うため
To make up for my past mistakes
みんなに出会えて良かった
I'm so glad I met all of you
大事なFamilyがいて良かった
I'm so happy I have such an important family

Remember when we sat together, knees hugged tight
一緒に泣いたっけ 忘れてないぜ
We cried together, I won't forget
どんなに離れていようと
No matter how far apart we are
いつかまた皆で集まろうよ
Let's all come back together someday
その笑顔があるからやってける
Because your smiles give us strength to keep going
笑っていれる ありがとう
Thank you for always being able to laugh

Let's start from here

With our strong bonds and deep love
満たされたEvery Season
We're fulfilled in every season
失敗失態やらかして
Even when we make mistakes or fail
心折れそうな時でも
Even when our spirits are close to breaking
その笑顔と馬鹿みたいなジョークで
Your smiles and silly jokes
吹き飛ばせた(Oh, oh)
Can always lift us back up again (oh, oh)
仲間と音楽
With our friends and music
乾杯するバーカン前はいつも
Before toasting with our cups
Happyで満ちて元気をくれるよ
We're filled with happiness and given strength
This Is For All My Family
This is for my entire family
Everything's Gonna Be Alright!
