#10 Lesson with a song - "Superstar" by Tokyo Incident (2) フォロワー限定

This is a second lesson based on a song "Superstar" by Tokyo Incident. 

I recommend you to listen to the lesson #9 first, if you haven't. 

Ringo, the vocal of Tokyo Incident, who also writes lyrics of all her songs, stated with the release of this song "Superstar" that she is an admirer of Ichiro and the song is inspired by him. In this lesson, I am focusing on the second verse (from - ) and ending part.  

Following is the lyric of this part.

Kotae wa mugendai sa 

Jibun de tsukutte iku 

Kareyuku ha ga ai kawarazu 

Jimen o mamotte iru 

Sonna daichi kette aruiteha 

Koe o sagasuno 

-------(interruption) ---------- 

Ashita wa anata wo moyasu honou ni mukiau kokoro ga hoshii yo 

Moshimo aeta toki wa hokoreru youni Terebi no naka no anata 

Watashi no superstar


Key Words 

Kotae  答え answer 

Mugendai 無限大 Infinite 

Jibunde 自分で by oneself 

Kareyuku ha  枯れゆく葉 dying leaves 

Aikawarazu 相変わらず  as ever 

Jimen o mamoru 地面を守る Protect the ground 

Daichi 大地 ground, earth 

Kette aruku 蹴って歩く Kicking and walking  

Koe o sagasu 声をさがす looking for one's voice 

Moyasu 燃やす to burn 

Honoo 炎 flame 

Mukiau 向き合う to face 

Kokoro 心 Spirit, heart 

Hokoreru 誇れる can be proud (of oneself)
