Not An Anime

(It's) Not an anime, not an anime,

It's true.

In the night when everybody was wrapped in sleep,

I looked at the sky through the window,

And I saw such a great thing.

All adults say with a laugh,

'You watch too much television',

But I never ever

tell a lie.

Our world

cannot be looked into

through the glasses of common sense.

You old Earthians who forgot dreams.

Not an anime, not an anime,

A lovely world,

Not an anime, not an anime,

It's a reality,

Not an anime, not an anime,

A wonder feeling,

Not an anime, not an anime,

It's true.

Sneaking out of the room at dawn,

I kept on waiting on the beach,

And I saw such a great thing.

Every time I have a secret talk,

People say 'You read too much manga',

But I never ever

tell a lie.

Don't forget

the world cannot be measured

by the rules of common sense.

You old Earthians who forgot dreams.

It's true, it's true.
