The Duchess' Royal Playlist: TRUE - DREAM SOLISTER (Hibike! Euphonium OP Theme Song)

If you're currently watching the anime Hibike! Euphonium, you might get noticed that after recapping the previous episode then you'll see the show's logo moving as well as you can see the interior of the Kitauji High School's Music Club, the serious face of its main heroine Kumiko Oumae (voiced by seiyuu Tomoyo Kurosawa) and the OP sequence progression from the three other main gals like Hazuki Kato, Sapphire Kawashima and Reina Kousaka to a performance of the Kitauji High Ensemble in unison then showing Kumiko's eyes got sparkling followed by the external of the school and the silhouettes of the cast at the end of the sequence.

Speaking of which, I am talking about one of my only 3 favorites (the other two are Show by Rock!! and Nisekoi 2) for this year's spring anime lineups as well as one of the most popular anime songs of 2015 and of all time that is "DREAM SOLISTER" by TRUE.



Official CD covers for "DREAM SOLISTER," the regular (above) and the anime (below) editions| Lantis 

The song was written by Miho Karasawa, with the composition and arrangements by Yusuke Kato. It was released last April 22, 2015 under the record label Lantis. The regular edition contains two discs (the audio CD and the DVD) which in disc 1 includes the full-length audio version of the song, "SAKURA CONCERT," "Swag!!" and the instrumental version of "DREAM SOLISTER." Disc 2 includes the official MV* of the song as well as the making of that video behind the scenes. The anime edition on the other hand, was adding the TV sized version of the song used for Hibike!

If you want to sing out loud to this song, here are the romaji lyrics in full and TV size versions:

Romaji (Full):

Kanaetai koto ga afureteru kara
Tachidomatteru hima nante nai yo ne
Mune ni himeta akogare wo full volume de todokeyou
Ikou crescendo no mukou e

Tsumazuitemo ii hamidashitemo ii
Kimi no neiro wo bokutachi wa matteiru

Hibike umaretate no yume tsumekonde
Ooki na sora e ima tabidatou
Hirake egao wo mikata ni tsukete
Hanasanai akirametakunai
Genkai sae mo hanekaesu yuuki de
DREAM SOLISTER


Bukiyou de sunao janai tokoro mo
Ganbariya no kimi no kosei dakara
Sugao no mama de mou ichido omoi o kanadetemiyou
Yume no takuto wa jiyuujizai

Hitori ja dasenai oto ga aru koto
Kidzuita kara mayowazu sing hijikeyou yo kagayake swing
Sorezore no kokoro kasaneaeba ima hajimaru
Seishun no prelude

Todoke sekai wo makikomu hodo atsuku
Owaru koto no nai asu wo egakou
Hitotsu futatsu to fueteku melody
Oide yo koko made oide
Tanoshimanakucha madamada fortissimo
DREAM SOLISTER

We gotta swing, we gonna make you swing
We gotta swing, so ever free 
(repeat)

Marude itszuragaki mitai na melody
Rikutsu janainda ongaku shiyou

Hibike umaretate no yume tsumekonde
Ooki na sora e ima tabidatou
Hirake egao wo mikata ni tsukete
Hanasanai akirametakunai
Genkai saemo hanekaesu yuuki de
DREAM SOLISTER

Hitotsu futatsu to fueteku
Oide yo koko made oide
Tanoshimanakucha madamada fortissimo
DREAM SOLISTER

La la la la la, kimi no koe kikasetehoshii yo
La la la la la, owaranai ongaku wa tsudzuiteyuku

Romaji (TV Size):

Kanaetai koto ga afureteru kara
Tachidomatteru hima nante nai yo ne
Mune ni himeta akogare wo full volume de todokeyou
Ikou crescendo no mukou e

Tsumazuitemo ii hamidashitemo ii
Kimi no neiro wo bokutachi wa matteiru

Hibike umaretate no yume tsumekonde
Ooki na sora e ima tabidatou
Hirake egao wo mikata ni tsukete
Hanasanai akirametakunai
Genkai sae mo hanekaesu yuuki de
DREAM SOLISTER

"...And the next piece begins."
