TEGASONG - "Kutsuzure" is the official opening theme song for the latest anime film, Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island. The song—whose title literally translates to "Shoe Blister"—was written by Chiikawa creator Nagano and is performed adorably by the character Hachiware (voiced by Makoto Tanaka) alongside Masato Tanaka.
Kanji Lyrics
大したことないからさ
そりゃなんともないけどね
空見上げて 目ショボる
なんかいつもの日じゃないや
昨日晴れだったっけ
雨じゃなかったような
写真撮って見返すと
なんか すごく
良さそなもの食べてるね
くつずれが 痛くとも 痛くとも
歩くよ前を向いて
ネバーギブアップ
でも やっぱ 痛いからさ
痛いからさ
なんかちょっとだけ目ショボる
大したことないけどさ
そりゃなんともないことない
空見上げて 目ショボる
なんかいつもの日じゃないや
昨日何食べたっけ
夢じゃなかったような
写真撮って見返すと
なんか わりと
晴れの方が多い気する
くつずれが 痛くとも 痛くとも
歩くよ前を向いて
ネバーギブアップ
でも やっぱ 痛いからさ
痛いからさ
なんかちょっとだけ目ショボる
Romaji Lyrics
Taishita koto nai kara sa
Sorya nantomo nai kedo ne
Sora miagete me shoboru
Nanka itsumo no hi ja nai ya
Kinou hare datta kke
Ame ja nakatta you na
Shashin totte mikaesu to
Nanka sugoku
Yosasou na mono tabeteru ne
Kutsuzure ga itaku tomo itaku tomo
Aruku yo mae o muite
Nebaa gibu appu
Demo yappa itai kara sa
Itai kara sa
Nanka chotto dake me shoboru
Taishita koto nai kedo sa
Sorya nantomo nai koto nai
Sora miagete me shoboru
Nanka itsumo no hi ja nai ya
Kinou nani tabeta kke
Yume ja nakatta you na
Shashin totte mikaesu to
Nanka warito
Hare no hou ga ooi ki suru
Kutsuzure ga itaku tomo itaku tomo
Aruku yo mae o muite
Nebaa gibu appu
Demo yappa itai kara sa
Itai kara sa
Nanka chotto dake me shoboru
English Translation
It’s not a big deal, you know
Well, it’s nothing much, but still
I look up at the sky and squint
Somehow this doesn’t feel like an ordinary day
Was it sunny yesterday?
It doesn’t seem like it rained
When I take a photo and look back at it
Somehow, really
You’re eating something that looks so good
Even if the shoe blister hurts, even if it hurts
I’ll walk, facing forward
Never give up
But still, it hurts, you know
It hurts, you know
So I squint just a little
It’s not a big deal, but still
It’s not like it’s nothing at all
I look up at the sky and squint
Somehow this doesn’t feel like an ordinary day
What did I eat yesterday?
It doesn’t seem like it was a dream
When I take a photo and look back at it
Somehow, more or less
It feels like there are more sunny days
Even if the shoe blister hurts, even if it hurts
I’ll walk, facing forward
Never give up
But still, it hurts, you know
It hurts, you know
So I squint just a little
Indonesian Translation
Bukan hal besar, kok
Ya, sih, tidak apa-apa, tapi
Kutatap langit, mataku menyipit
Entah kenapa hari ini bukan hari yang biasa
Kemarin cerah, ya?
Kayaknya bukan hujan
Kalau foto kurekam lalu kulihat lagi
Entah kenapa, banget
Kamu lagi makan sesuatu yang kelihatannya enak
Meski lecet sepatu sakit, meski sakit
Aku tetap jalan, menatap ke depan
Never give up
Tapi ya tetap saja sakit, sih
Sakit, sih
Jadi mataku menyipit sedikit saja
Bukan hal besar, tapi
Bukan berarti tidak ada apa-apanya
Kutatap langit, mataku menyipit
Entah kenapa hari ini bukan hari yang biasa
Kemarin aku makan apa, ya?
Kayaknya bukan mimpi
Kalau foto kurekam lalu kulihat lagi
Entah kenapa, agak
Rasanya hari cerah lebih banyak
Meski lecet sepatu sakit, meski sakit
Aku tetap jalan, menatap ke depan
Never give up
Tapi ya tetap saja sakit, sih
Sakit, sih
Jadi mataku menyipit sedikit saja
