FAR AWAY

From Koei Tecmo Wiki

FAR AWAY is one of the songs performed by Japanese vocalist, Nana Tanimura. It appears on her seventh single, FAR AWAY/Believe you, which has three different polished releases in Japan.

The single is a tie-in collaboration with Hokuto Musou. The single's release date, March 24, 2009, corresponded with the game's release in Japan. The two songs, FAR AWAY and Believe you, are composed to fit the theme of two characters. In this case, FAR AWAY is a Mamiya themed song. For the promotional media of this song, she cosplays in Mamiya's outfit for the game. The promotional video for the song includes footage of the game's opening.

Tanimura first performed FAR AWAY live at the media press unveiling for the then mystery title. It was sung after Hisashi Koinuma finished his short presentation for the game on stage. She later performed the songs again at Koei and Fuji TV's live event, Sengoku Bushou Matsuri.

激情にうなされて
覚醒する本能はただ
生きることは戦いと叫ぶ
涙も枯れ果てて
(Let go of my crown)
残酷な時代に
(Will I ever see...?)
ひと筋の光を
(Shine up on me)
それを愛と呼ぶならば
I've gotta fight for the precious love
秘めた思いに
情熱を滾(たぎ)らせて立ち上がれ
(Take me away, take me far away)
愛さえも闘志へと変えて生きねば
笑うことも叶わない世界でも…
(Take me away, take me far away)
この道の標(しるべ)に
愛を刻んで
研ぎ澄まされてゆく
感覚はいつか
自分さえ見失いそうで
憧れは儚く
(My goal stay for me)
喪失は無情に
(Will I finally...?)
頑な心で
(Come where to me)
そっと愛を囁いた
I've gotta fight for the precious love
振り返らない
過ぎ去った日々はただ遠ざかる
(Take me away, take me far away)
朱く(あかく)たなびく髪は怒り燃やして
絶望も悲しみも道連れに
(Take me away, take me far away)
星の兆しがいつか
宿命(さだめ)告げるとしても
愛がいつの日か
ありのまま
心に宿るなら
忌まわしき過去も
消せない印も
越えて生き続ける
I've gotta fight for the precious love
乾いた胸に
閉ざされた輝きを解き放て
(Take me away, take me far away)
愛することの奇跡を教えてくれた
あの人の面影を抱きしめて
(Take me away, take me far away)
この道の終わりに
愛は笑いかける

gekijo ni unasarete
kakuseisuru honnou wa tada
ikirukoto wa tatakai to sakebu
namida mo karehatete
(Let go of my crown)
zangokuna jidai ni
(Will I ever see...?)
hitosuji no hikari o
(Shine up on me)
sore wo ai to yobu naraba
I've gotta fight for the precious love
himeta omoi ni
jonetsu o tagirasete tachi-agare
(Take me away, take me far away)
ai sae mo toushi he to kaete ikineba
waraukoto mo kanawanai sekai demo...
(Take me away, take me far away)
kono michi no shirube ni
ai o kizande
togi sumi maserete yuku
kangaku wa itsuka
jinbun sae miushiai soude
agokare wa hakanaku
(My goal stay for me)
shoushitsu wa mujou ni
(Will I finally...?)

(Come where to me)

I've gotta fight for the precious love

(Take me away, take me far away)
akaku tanabiku kami wa ikari moyashite

(Take me away, take me far away)
hoshi no kizashi ga itsuka

I've gotta fight for the precious love

(Take me away, take me far away)
aisurukoto no kiseki o oshiete kureta
ano hito no omokage o dakishimite
(Take me away, take me far away)
kono michi no owari ni
ai wa waraikakeru

Struck with nightmares
my awakened instincts
fight and scream just to survive
At the end of tears
(Let go of my crown)
in this cruel era
(Will I ever see...?)
there beams a single light
(Shine up on me)
If that is what love is then
I've gotta fight for the precious love
My pent up feelings
flare up with the will to stand
(Take me away, take me far away)
Love can even invigorate me to live as a warrior
in this world of lost wishes and laughter...
(Take me away, take me far away)
I mark this my road
to carve out love
While I sharpen my skills
feeling as though
I have lost sight of myself
The urge becomes endless
(My goal stay for me)
as though I lost to brutality
(Will I finally...?)
But even this stubborn heart
(Come where to me)
softly whispers for love
I've gotta fight for the precious love
I can't turn back
I just distance myself further from my past days of happiness
(Take me away, take me far away)
Every end of my hair burns crimson with anger
as I walk hand in hand with despair and sorrow
(Take me away, take me far away)
even if those miraculous stars
were to someday tell me my destiny
Suddenly one day
love became a reality
I could finally live beyond
my atrocious past
and the constant shame
residing in my heart
I've gotta fight for the precious love
My dried heart
now unleashes its buried shine
(Take me away, take me far away)
I embrace the memories of the person
who taught me the miracle of love
(Take me away, take me far away)
Until this road of mine ends
I will smile with love
