STUTS – 99 Steps feat. Kohjiya, Hana Hope / THE FIRST TAKE
I look forward to performing with you Likewise Kohjiya, Hana Hope and I came up with this song called “99 Steps” I wrote the lyrics and melody for Hana Hope’s part with Akihisa Kitazato We’ve prepared a special version of the song today with Akihisa Kitazato
joining us on the chorus Let’s start Let’s Slipping through the clouds and rising high Looks like rain in the evening All the more bringing the wind Oh, closer to a scenic view I lifted the weight pressing down On the scenario I was working on By lining up only the things I want to see I stepped into this area Area Hey baby, at midnight Laughing at how obsessed we were back then Swaying quietly in blue Unable to sit still Ever since that day, things have remained so clear But it’s 99 now Lost in tomorrow‘s anxieties and thoughts And even so, it’s 99 The message I sent to that friend who’s probably just killing time It’s missing something Reluctantly hauling myself up just a little In a distant future My shadow can be found in the sweat spilling as I dance Oh, the blood surging through this heated body I feel like the wind As it leaps and soars Ah, it fills my budding heart I’ll frolic in the light until it overflows Oblivious to the sweat on my brow I enjoyed the passing rain Up to the main street by your place We talked until dawn Those days when I would sink so low But now, hardly anything scares me All I’ve been through guards my heart now I love it—this is the road I run But with every spit, I flip the bottom Don’t need nothing Just spills over on its own It doesn’t have to be right now, but Just keep sketching what catches your eye Just keep chasing that version of yourself you long to be I lifted the weight pressing down On the scenario I was working on By lining up only the things I want to see I stepped into this area Area Hey baby, at midnight Laughing at how obsessed we were back then Swaying quietly in blue Unable to sit still Ever since that day, things have remained so clear Oh, the blood surging through this heated body I feel like the wind As it leaps and soars Ah, it fills my budding heart I’ll frolic in the light until it overflows The ever-turning sun echoes your joyous footsteps Resounding as it dances I feel it—I step forward as I sing Together with the light Thank you very much
