オリジナル生地 / ストーリー
"In the Forest"
Deep forest that I always see from far away
What will I find beyond that?
The answer can be found
Only by those who are courageous enough to step in there
Let's go ahead
And step into the forest
Let's go ahead
And find yourself that you have never met
A bit scared but I will be alright
Because I have this scarf of light blue
It's my lucky charm
Giving me a courage to keep on walking straight
Inside the foggy forest
Silver wind carries the whisper of leaves
Sunlight through the trees shows me the way to go
Little by Little I walk ahead
And find my old friends waiting for me
Very quietly and a bit shyly
Their black eyes are watching over me
"Oh, you are here!"
"I knew you would come!"
"Yes, we have been waiting for you so long!"
I remember I met you in the picture book long ago
I remember I saw you in the illustrated animal book long ago
I remember I found you in the old stories of faraway lands
The colors of flowers that I used to dream of
The stripe dress that I used to long for
The polka dot parasol that used to make me smile
In this magical forest
Flowers bloom from wherever I touch
And that is the door to my dream
I find myself surrounded by my friends smiling gently and singing softly
It's just like my favorite old story that I used to read again and again
I feel like I can fly high in the sky
My scarf of light blue
And the deep fog of the forest are
Now turning to my Wings
"Finally I found you!"
It is me I want to be
It is me standing beyond the door to the future
Gather
Have you ever seen
the colour of the dawning skies?
It's a very special colour
that I cannot find in my watercolour paint kit.
Neither navy blue nor purple
Neither orange nor yellow
Oh, I just cannot find the proper word for it
"Maybe, it's magenta!" someone whispered to me!
Looking around, I found the lace curtains chatting
They always look so happy and
kindly let me join their chatting
MAGENTA
-I wrote this word on a small piece of paper
and put this precious piece into my pocket
"I must go and put this in my treasure box!"
I must safely keep the secret word
that the curtains kindly whispered to me
Alright, let me tell You where I'm going,
though I have never told this to others before
I'm going to my secret base,
where none but my friends can get into
Under the leaf
In the shadow of flower petals
Inside the folded umbrella
Between the pages of the book I'm reading
and inside the palms of mine
The fragments of my dreams
get together
each other breathing very closely
and waiting for the tomorrow to come
Making sure that every member is here,
we are waiting for the moment
when the skies are dawning
I say, "Are you ready?"
Our secret password is
-MAGENTA
