Just Take Flight Towards the Sun

Beaten down, yet back on her feet. The wish of an athlete.

With an unfaltering heart, the prologue begins.

Some tried to run faster than anyone else

And some tried to jump higher than anyone else

Yet others tried swimming more freely than anyone else

While some tried to use <athletic tools> better than anyone else

But-

Cars run through fields faster

Planes can fly higher in the skies

And boats exist for crossing the ocean

In that case, what’s the purpose of humans surpassing their physical limits?

Some used tools to substitute their lost parts

And some got on specialized wheelchairs

Yet others trained their hearing until it became their eyes

All of them are victors against the fear of [the impossible]

Everyone has their strengths / weaknesses

And things they’re capable of / things they’re not

All of this exists irrespective of disabilities

We are all the same

I don’t want to lose

If I ever lose my desire to take another step

My world will truly end, locked up in darkness

So I don’t think I’m wishing for too much

Just to take flight towards the sun

[Icarus]

Believing in those who have supported me so far

And the buildup of years of hard work

I’ve poured my everything

Onto this unyielding wish

Tucked away in my <waist bag>

I run up-

“This is as challenging as I’d heard! Yummy Two Hirasaka, made for a good workout!’

“The hell are you talking about! It’s called Yo-mo-tsu Hirasaka!”

“Yeah, that’s what I meant!”
