Eureka 7 OP Theme
Performed by Flow

Note: I actually haven't watch Eureka 7 apart from the first episode. I am not sure I'm completely sold on its premise just yet. Having said that, I really like the opening theme for this show. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that I keep hearing the song everytime I go to the MiniStop here in Japan. I'm also quite surprised to see that the band responsible for this song is actually Flow, the same group that created Go!!!, one of the best Naruto opening themes. Right now, I'm really tempted to try other songs from this group and complete my conversion as Flow fanboy. If you like the song, the single will be out here in Japan on the first of June. Anyway, as usual, please let me know if you see any mistake and please note that this is the full version of the song not the TV size, so it is slightly different.

Kanji/Kana version

変わり行く既設が　街波染めてゆく
曖昧な時間が流れて
涙色の空を　僕は見つめていた
悲しみの　波が押し寄せる

夢は遠くまで　はっきりと見えていたのに
大切なものを　見失った

あの日交わした約束は砕けて散った
激しく儚い　記憶のカケラ
例え二人並んで見た夢から覚めても
この想い　忘れはしない　ずっと

色褪せた景色を　風が流れてゆく
思い出は　そっと蘇る

通い慣れた道　歩み進んでも戻れない
最初の嘘　最後の言葉

強がってばっか　誤魔化す　感情に
過ぎ去った季節からの解答
So 今から何も出来やしないって
分かってたって　もうダメみたい
所詮繰り返すだけの自問自答　重ね続けてる現状
仲居夜　一人静けさを照らす街灯
思い出が走馬灯の用にグルグル脳裏を走り出す
淡い記憶に何度もしがみつこうとするが消しえてしまう
悲しみのMerry-Go-Round　真夜中のMelody Slow Dance

あの日交わした約束は砕けて散った
激しく儚い　記憶のカケラ
たとえ二人並んで見た夢から覚めても
この想い　忘れはしない　ずっと
津億の　日々か照らす　今を

Romaji version

Kawari yuku kisetsu ga machinami somete yuku
Aimaina jikan ga nagarete
Namida iro no sora wo boku wa mitsumete ita
Kanashimi no nami ga oshiyoseru

Yume wa tooku made hakkiri to miete ita no ni
Taisetsuna mono wo miushinatta

Ano hi kawashita yakusoku wa kudakete chitta
Hageshiku hakanai kioku no kakera
Tatoe futari narande mita yume kara samete mo
Kono omoi wasure wa shinai zutto

Iro aseta keshiki wo kaze ga nagarete yuku
Omoide wa sotto yomigaeru

Kayoi nareta michi ayumi susundemo modorenai
Saisho no uso saigo no kotoba

Tsuyogattebakka gomakasu kanjou ni sugisatta
Kisetsu kara no kaitou
So ima kara nani mo dekiyashinaitte
Wakattetatte mou dame mitai
Shosen kurikaesu dake no jimonjitou
Kasane tsudzuketeru genjou nakai yoru hitori shizukesa terasu
Omoide ga soumatou no youni guru guru nouri wo hashiridasu
Awai kioku ni nandomo shigami tsukouto suru ga keshieteshimau
Kanashimi no Merry-Go-Round Mayonaka no Melody Slow Dance

Ano hi kawashita yakusoku wa kudakete chitta
Hageshiku hakanai kioku no kakera
Tatoe futari narande mita yume kara samete mo
Kono omoi wasure wa shinai zutto
Tsuioku no hibi ga terasu ima wo

This song is really great... wow, Flow is the band? Never knew! I can't wait for the single to come out now.

Maybe I'll try to find their other songs too hehe^^;; Thanks very much for the lyrics.

I am totally in love with the OP as well. Never heard any of their other songs, but the OP is excellent. It just has a very very good effect on me.

It's a pity Eureka 7 itself doesnt seem to be faring as well. Oh well... I'm enjoying it; even if some of the scenario is cliched. It's a kid's show, what can I expect?..

Ditto what wao said -- the Eureka's OP is fantastic! I wish I could say the same for the male protagonist of the show, whom I despise T_T

I fell in love with the OP in first sight!
The style is very pop and although I really detest Pop this song is just great! And the video is matches totally! *sigh*

And the anime is sooooo cool! I can?t wait to see the 3rd Fansub episode.! ^^

Wow, I didn't make that connection. I love the guitar riff, and the OP looks great. As for Renton, he's pretty whiny, but I like his character design!

I personally am quite enjoying the anime myself, despite some of its cliched areas. I don't mind Renton's whininess at all, I think it's quite endearing - it's not annoying to me at all. The art/animation is great, too (to me). I personally like the art in this show much more than FMA's - the other 51-eps Bones show...

And this is offtopic, but Garten, when you next have time do post something about HOney and Clover, I'd like to see what you have to say about it after 5 eps have aired. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Just a small correction

Kasane tsudzuketeru genjou nakai yoru hitori shizukesa terasu

is actually

Kasane tsudzuketeru genjou nagai yoru hitori shizukesa wo terasu gaitou

It's a good song ^__^

I gave this show a chance. It's awesome. Now i'm hooked. I usually find when I have the feeling to give things a chance, they turn out well. I'm about 30 episodes in now. The music is pretty good in the show in general.

Hehe, Renton matures later on. ;p I thought him to whiny at first too. ^^

The best thing about this show is the development of characters and their relationship(s). Characters beyond the protagonist(s) are interesting too. Good story, nice story advancement. For me, this show is the best I have seen so far. ;-)
