[Intro] "August 1, 1951. From the ashes of the past, a new era takes flight. Today, the scarlet crane rises. Japan Airlines takes to the sky, carrying the pride of a nation on its silver wings." [Verse 1] The silver wings are shining in the morning's golden light, The nation looks to heaven as the vessel takes to flight. We leave the heavy shadows for a future burning bright, To carry all our honor to a new and soaring height. [Pre-Chorus] The engines start to thunder and the spirit is so free, We fly above the mountain and we cross the open sea. We blossom like the cherry on the ancient sakura tree, A beautifully wondrous world is what we finally see. [Chorus] Oh, watch the scarlet crane as it ascends into the sky! We spread our massive wings and we prepare to proudly fly! The banner of the sun is waving beautifully high! The limits of the gravity we easily defy! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] The wheels are lifting softly from the newly structured ground, The roaring of the motor is a captivating sound. To every single corner of the globe we are now bound, A brand new destination is about to soon be found. [Pre-Chorus] The engines start to thunder and the spirit is so free, We fly above the mountain and we cross the open sea. We blossom like the cherry on the ancient sakura tree, A beautifully wondrous world is what we finally see. [Chorus] Oh, watch the scarlet crane as it ascends into the sky! We spread our massive wings and we prepare to proudly fly! The banner of the sun is waving beautifully high! The limits of the gravity we easily defy! [Bridge] [Fast, aggressive Shamisen and Taiko drum duel] The rhythm of the music now accelerates the pace, We navigate the endless and the fascinating space. The beauty of the culture is delivered with such grace, We offer all the continents a welcoming embrace! [Chorus] Oh, watch the scarlet crane as it ascends into the sky! We spread our massive wings and we prepare to proudly fly! The banner of the sun is waving beautifully high! The limits of the gravity we easily defy! [Outro] The silver bird is traveling toward the rising sun, The era of the isolation is officially now done. The journey of a thousand miles has finally begun, The people of the nation are uniting into one.
