Brief Comments:
"Akashi" or "My Testimony" is a darker song of ZONE's exposing their versatility with different tones of songs and sounds. Countless times have I listened to it and although it's no longer one of my favorite songs, it's a great change of pace from their others.

Amongst ZONE fans, it's a consensus that the lyrics that Miyu mouths during the "X X X X X" part of the song is "dare no tame ni"; translated it means roughly "for the sake of whom?"

Lyrics:
なぜ僕は　ここにいるのか？　どしゃぶりの雨　の中で
naze boku wa koko ni iru no ka?　doshaburi no ame no naka de
why am I here? in this pouring rain

明日の　為に　僕はいるのか？　何かできるのか？
ashita no tame ni boku wa iru no ka?　nani ga dekiru no ka?
do I exist for the sake of tomorrow? what is there that I can do?


誰か教えて　誰か　気付いて　誰か　僕に　その答えを
dareka oshiete, dareka kizuite, dareka boku ni sono kotae wo
someone tell me, someone notice me, someone answer me


人の渦　迷い込んで　見上げた　ビルの狭間で
hito no uzu mayoikonde　miageta biru no hazama de
lost my way in the swirl of people in the valley of buildings, looking up

小さく見えた　ちぎれた空に　のみ込まれそうで
chiisaku mieta　chigireta sora ni nomi komaresou de
I seemed so small; nearly swallowed up by the tattered sky

誰か教えて　誰か　気付いて　誰か　僕に　その答えを
dareka oshiete, dareka kizuite, dareka boku ni sono kotae wo
someone tell me, someone notice me, someone answer me


今　僕が　生きる　自分の居場所　捜し求めて　叫んでる
ima boku ga ikiru jibun no ibasho sagashi motomete sakenderu
at this moment, I'm living screaming, as I search for the place I belong

迷いつ彼れても　叫び疲れても　もう　逃げたくはないよ・・・
mayoi tsukaretemo sakebi tsukaretemo mou nigetaku wa nai yo...
should I tire of wandering, tire of screaming I don't ever want to run away any more


何も無い　この部屋の隅　うずくまり　疲れ果てて
nani mo nai kono heya no sumi uzukumari tsukarehatete
in the corner of this empty room huddled in exhaustion

眠る事さえ　おびえていた　傷対た　僕に
nemuru koto sae obiete ita kizutsuita boku ni...
too afraid to even sleep noticeable were my wounds


誰か教えて　誰か　気付いて　誰か　僕に　その答えを
dareka oshiete, dareka kizuite, dareka boku ni sono kotae wo
someone tell me, someone notice me, someone answer me


今　僕が　生きる　自分の居場所　捜し求めて　叫んでる
ima boku ga ikiru jibun no ibasho sagashi motomete sakenderu
I'm living in this moment screaming, as I search for a place I belong

迷いつ彼れても　叫び疲れても　もう　逃げたくはないよ・・・
mayoi tsukaretemo sakebi tsukaretemo mou nigetaku wa nai yo...
should I tire of wandering, tire of screaming I don't ever want to run away any more


もし　僕が死んで　涙を流す　人がいるなら・・・　X X X X X
moshi boku ga shinde namida wo nagasu hito ga iru nara...
if I were to die, would people shed a tear for me...


涙が　左の鼓動を　揺らす　震え上がる　証を
namida ga hidari no kodou wo yurasu furueagaru akashi wo
The tears cause my heartbeat to tremble trembling uncontrollably, my testimony

僕は　ここにいる、今生きている　叫び続けて　進む・・・
boku wa koko ni iru ima ikite iru sakebi tsuzukete susumu...
I'm here, living in the moment and continue to go on screaming
