By: SMAP

JAPANESE:

hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
iron'na hana wo mite ita
hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
dore mo min'na kirei da ne

kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
arasou koto mo shinai de
baketsu no naka hokorashige ni
shan to mune wo hatte iru

sore nanoni bokura ningen wa
dooshite koo mo kurabetagaru?
hitori hitori chigau no ni sono naka de
ichiban ni naritagaru?

soo sa bokura wa
sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu

isshookenmei ni nareba ii

chiisai hana ya ookina hana
hitotsu to shite onaji mono wa nai kara
NO.1 ni naranakute mo ii
motomoto tokubetsu na ONLY ONE

ENGLISH:

There's no need to be No. 1
you've always been a very special only one.

I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flowershop.
everyone has their favorite kinds but all of them are pretty.
Without competing to see which was the best among them,
they were standing straight up proudly inside the bucket.
So why then do we humans have to compare ourselves to one another?
Eventhough each and every person is different,
why do we want to be number one?
Yes we are each..

a flower unlike any other in the world
and each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.

There are people who are constantly unsure of what they want,
as they laugh a little put out.
It can't be helped, all those flowers,
that did everything they could to bloom, are pretty.
when at last that person comes out of the store,
they're holding a colorful bouquet
and I see them smiling happilly as they go by me.
I never knew their name but
that day they made me smile.

we too are like flowers that bloom in places where no one pays any attention.
Yes we too are each...

a flower unlike any other in the world
and each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.

Small flowers and big flowers, none are the same as one another.
There's no need to be No. 1
you've always been a very special only one.
