Ahh... Digimon Frontier, considered by some to be the black sheep of the family, but considered by others to be the best one there is. I'm kinda in-between, but all are agreed that the theme song kicks. I wrote the first verse of this about two days after I downloaded the first episode. It was very interesting, since this remains the only song to date where I actually did the strict English translation myself. Checking on a more professional translation afterwards... eh, close enough.

For this one, the scheme for everything except the bridge was pretty obvious. The bridge was fun though, because I actually tried to synch it with the mouth movement in the series opening (you know- "kanausa, kanau... "). All in all, this turned out to be one of my favorites.

Fire

Where are we going now? Will this journey set our hearts on fire?
Come on, let's fly away- and reach a far horizon.
Will we get through somehow? Will we find all of our heart's desire?
Come on, we leave today- to explore a new frontier.

But can we say? Can we do?
Can we make it so our dreams come true?
Or will me and you be torn apart?
We won't know until the journeys start.
So let's get up and go!

When the stakes are high, when you want to cry,
When the future's looking bleak.
Don't forget who's holding the light, with the fire power.
So just give a shout and just let it out,
And we'll find the things we seek.
Courage never loses a fight- with the fire power.

The road ahead is shining. The new frontier's in view.
No matter what we'll be finding- I'll always be with you.

What is this place about? Can we take it from diseased to thriving?
Long as it's something new- right now that's all that matters.
But is there no way out? Can it be that there is no surviving?
Long as I can be true- there's no reason to be afraid.

But where am I? Where are you?
Where is everything we thought we knew?
Can I have a clue to comprehend?
All the mysteries will never end.
So just get up and go!

When the danger's near, when you feel the fear,
When tomorrow's looking ill.
Never mind the hatred and lies- you've got fire power.
Yeah, just start to climb, to somewhere sublime,
And you'll scale the highest hill.
Someday we are going to rise- with the fire power.

The road ahead is shining. The new frontier's in view.
No matter what we'll be finding- I'll always be with you.

When the stakes are high, when you want to cry,
When the future's looking bleak.
Don't forget who's holding the light, with the fire power.
So just give a shout and just let it out,
And we'll find the things we seek.
Courage never loses a fight- with the fire power.

The road ahead is shining. The new frontier's in view.
No matter what we'll be finding- I'll always be with you.
