I to AI (アイ to アイ)

Originally Sung by Minori Suzuki
Official Audition Song for the 2025 Macross Diva Audition

A/N: since we all have no idea what the Macross 2026 series is gonna look like yet, I'm just gonna guess the vibes for these lyrics 😂 I'll change them later if I'm wrong.

Take this song from my heart...
And fly!
Go high!

*

The heat is rising up, take aim and fire
Your destiny is yours, so go and seize it with your hands,
Don't you give up, give up, come on!

Mouth to mouth, we're bonded tightly 
Face to face, I see you clearly
Take my song of love, and fly!

I love you, so love me too,
my singing voice will guide you through
The power I hold is selfish, born from all my deep desires!
I can't stop and I won't stop,
my feelings are the truth,
and so I'll sing this song 'til the end of time
I'll keep burning more so I'll feel alive

Take this song of mine and fly!

I Love You (Aishiteru)

When you're here, I know
that I love you so...

I can't forget the time I first met you
Seeing your face, feeling your gaze, nothing would be quite the same
And when you said you liked me, my heart was aflutter
I couldn't sleep, the look in your eyes pulled me under...

Now one by one, all the memories we shared
crystallize into jewels that I can wear
The care and kindness you gifted to me
made me special and different, I can't forget it!

Oh, I love you so, yes I love you so,
Even if one day we would both be reborn --
How I love you so, oh I love you so
-- I am sure I would fall for you once more!
Deep in my heart, certain and true, I dedicate my song to you~

***

The sunset on the ocean was dazzling,
walking ahead, hand-in-hand, was a couple's silhouette.
The white sand reminds me of snow in the winter,
Seasons will go, changing the times, 'til the rains come in summer

And just as seeds grow into big apple trees,
that cycle continues forever; it's bittersweet
In similar ways, all the tears shed today
surely will turn into happiness, I'm certain this is fate!

(Hah ah~, Hah ah~)
It will be okay~
(hah ah~)

***

See how the sky is high, see how the stars share their light...
Oceans are azure blue, flowers a pure hue,
And I can sense that the wind lives on in you!

How I love you so, yes I love you so
Even if my voice can't go on anymore –
Oh, I love you so, yes I love you so
– you're the only one in the world I adore!

Sending this song, certain and true...
Shoot through the stars, and the galaxies too...
Burn through my time, short and so bright,
I dedicate my song to your life!

Yes, I love you so, how I love you so...
Oh, I love you so, yes, I love you so...

I love you so... 

[A/N: could be sung in the same way as it is in "Ai Oboete Imasuka". The starting note for "I" is the same as the ending note for "so" from the previous line.]

God Bless You [ TV ver. ]

[Short Ver.]

Gently as I can, I close my eyes

Holding onto just one wish of mine

I don't have the words, but even so, still I believe them

I can feel your chest go up and down

Locking it away in my memories

So I can't forget and I won't forget

what I am feeling...

My heart is strong and overflowing (overflowing)

but every time it does, somehow I feel like crying (every time)

Now I know it's fate, that I met you on that day...

(Haa~) I want you to stay!

(God bless you!)

Oh, the time that we met, all the winds were brightly shining,

And now we're here, with our souls laid bare,

The passion within will explode and combine!

(God bless you!)

Is it possible to think that our meeting here was destined? 

You were there for me when I needed you,

I'm hoping someday I'll be there for you, too...

'cause I love you!

1st Ending for Macross Δ

[Are you ready for me?]

*

Heard a person spreading a rumour today, 
"Betcha soon, the world will end," they say
I have never heard a bigger lie, there's no way!

In a flash, I turned my eyes to the sky
Feeling like our future was ready to fly
And the wind you made was helping it soar high

Finally, I've found a place;
I can be me with a smile on my face
I'm gonna do it, I've got no choice, 
I can't stop my voice!

[You better be prepared!]

When it shines, my rune sparkles so bright!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
When it does, I'll fall in love at first sight!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
Pa-ri-ru Pa-ri-ra, I'm gonna blame it on you!
Pa-ri-ra, no one can stop me because of my rune!

*

Knowing there are people who cry in pain,
but you yawn and always avert the blame
That's no good! Oh, why would you let them suffer in vain?

In an instant, I can feel you glide,
Wavering the atmosphere as you fly
So I sing, letting my voice reach the sky

Living my life, I've got no time
15 more years will soon pass by
I'll seize the moment, and make you mine
I'm gonna let it shine! 

[Rune-Pika beam!]

When it shines, my rune sparkles so bright!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
When it does, you'll surely fly so high!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
Ta-ri-ru, Taa-ri-ra, you are the love of my heart!
Ta-ri-ra, I know they'll never keep us apart!

*

When it shines, my rune sparkles so bright!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
Now the world will fall in love at first sight!
Wow wow! Wow wow wow!
Pa-ri-ru Pa-ri-ra, I made this wind for you
Pa-ri-ra, I'm shining brightly because of my rune!

No matter what, you will always be my love!
No matter where, I'll prove I'm unstoppable!
