Original Lyrics: Number Nine Lyrics (Romanized)
1.I was walking through the desert, Tokyo Tower visible in the distance
2.The worn-out teddy bear you held seemed to be smiling—where should we go?3.
4.The sand burned like the sea once did, people used to live here
5.We followed in the footsteps of wisdom’s flock, who had rushed ahead and destroyed it all6.
7.Doubts and sorrows turn to fossils, imagining a future that feels like a lie
8.Feeling sadness almost seems foolish in a future so kind9.

10.The voices of us, who lived so earnestly, I hope they reach far, far away
11.May the breath taken in an empty future still remember us12.
13.It was so dazzling, I closed my eyes, tracing the path of a dried-up river
14.Just beyond, your voice was calling me—I’m sure of it15.
16.The future and past pull at each other, gripping the hands of our fragile selves
17.If pain is what it means to be alive, then I want to love it—all of it18.
19.Even now, my heart remains uneven, and some nights, it’s hard to breathe
20.Even the aesthetics that once felt like excuses will fade away in the future21.
22.Memories fallen in the sand were still breathing, reaching us from far, far away
23.May the voices of us in an empty future resound beautifully24.
25.After choosing thousands of words, and standing atop tens of thousands of gravestones
26.We will keep walking forward—I hope you won’t laugh27.
28.The voices of us, who lived so earnestly, I hope they reach far, far away
29.May the breath taken in an empty future still remember us30.
31.Memories fallen in the sand were still breathing, reaching us from far, far away
32.May the voices of us in an empty future resound beautifully33.
34.After choosing thousands of words, and standing atop tens of thousands of gravestones
35.We will keep walking forward—I hope you won’t laugh36.
37.I hope you won’t laugh

1.歩いていたのは　砂漠の中　遠くに見えた　東京タワー
2.君の抱いていた　ボロいテディベア　笑ってみえた　どこへ行こうか3.
4.海みたいに　砂は燃えた　かつてはここで　人が生きた
5.先を急いだ　英智の群れが　壊したものに　僕らは続いた6.
7.惑いも憂いも化石になるほど　嘘みたいな未来を想う
8.切なくなるのも馬鹿らしいほど　優しい未来9.
10.恥ずかしいくらい生きていた僕らの声が　遠く遠くまで届いたらいいな
11.誰もいない未来で起きた呼吸が　僕らを覚えていますように12.
13.眩しくてさ　目を閉じたんだ　枯れた川を　辿りながら
14.ほんの向こうで　君の声が　呼んでいたんだ　確かに僕を15.
16.未来と過去が　引っ張り合うんだ　か弱い僕らの　両手を掴んで
17.痛むことが　命ならば　愛してみたいんだ　痛みも全て18.
19.いまだに心は不揃いなままで　息苦しくなる夜もある
20.言い訳みたいな美意識すら　消えちゃう未来21.
22.砂に落ちた思い出が息をしていた　遠く遠くから届いていたんだ
23.誰もいない未来の僕らの声が　美しくあれるように24.
25.何千と言葉選んだ末に　何万と立った墓標の上に
26.僕らは歩んでいくんだきっと　笑わないでね27.
28.恥ずかしいくらい生きていた僕らの声が　遠く遠くまで届いたらいいな
29.誰もいない未来で起きた呼吸が　僕らを覚えていますように30.
31.砂に落ちた思い出が息をしていた　遠く遠くから届いていたんだ
32.誰もいない未来の僕らの声が　美しくあれるように33.
34.何千と言葉選んだ末に　何万と立った墓標の上に
35.僕らは歩んでいくんだきっと　笑わないでね36.
37.笑わないでね
