Shiny Tale

By YUKI

We begin playing as an orchestra our dream of journeying, and flip to the first page I have found something that sparkles even more than any treasure When I turn around and look, your silly-looking smiling faces give me the boost to go as far as I want

The tale we once wrote in this small room will be the prologue to the novel we're currently writing

With a speed fast enough for us to almost reach the vast sky, we have been running with our hands off the ship's wheel We begin playing as an orchestra our dream of journeying, and flip to the next page

No matter what difficulties we may face, be it a storm or a black rain, we will ride on the tailwind and wait in a place no one else anywhere will be able to reach

The tale we are writing in this vast sea begins filling up our blank map

We sail towards a sea of endless dreams, not knowing whether we'll find light or darkness On a sea where even the light is pitch black, there will always be wind There's hope visible in a still hidden location, as well as countless sorrows This is our one and only journey, so we begin looking for the next pages

This poem is one the anime soundtrack “Daily Live of high School Boys”. This poem has a great significance and is quite difficult to be understood. The selection of words that used by Yuki in this poem a little bit complicated and poetic. I absolutely love every meaning that contains in this poem which is tell about the story of friendship.

However, in my opinion, Yuki did not merely write about a friendship, but also about the expectation and goals. “Begin playing as an orchestra our dream of journeying, and flip to the first page” here represents a trip to get the succesful and also the expectations that will be achieved. “I have found something that sparkles ven more than any treasure” represents to something that make Yuki believes that there is a great tresure that more than anything else, a friendship.

This poem also tells about the memories that Yuki did in the past with his friends. “The tale we once wrote in this smaal room, will be the prologue to the novel we are currently writing” represents to the memorable time that Yuki spend with his friends and it will be a nice memory for him and will be kept it in his mind.

By writing these words, “No matter what difficulties we may face, be it a storm or black rain, we will ride on the tailwind” Yuki might want to show to his friends that although they have a different faith from others, we have to struggle to get happiness together and begin to reach the journey of life, because life is only once and we only have one opportunity to get our goal and to be success.
