Updated: Sep 2, 2021

*始まるのは、サヨナラ　闇に浮かぶ真っ白なライン Hajimaru no wa, sayonara yami ni ukabu masshiro na LINE It begins with a goodbye. A blindingly white line, floating in the darkness,

君だけを呼び導いてる　淋しさも輝かせて Kimi dake wo yobi michibiiteru sabishisa mo kagayakasete Bringing your loneliness into radiance, is calling and guiding you and no one else. 「見たいものがあって　ここにはないから」と

"Mitai mono ga atte koko ni wa nai kara" to "There's something I wish to see, but since it's not here..." 瞳逸らす君は　だけどもう　迷ってない Hitomi sorasu kimi wa dakedo mou mayottenai Looking away, you assert. However, you're no longer astray from your path. 眩しく忘れぬ景色を　僕らは駆け抜けて

Mabushiku wasurenu keshiki wo bokura wa kakenukete We dashed through many unforgettably dazzling sceneries, 君以外じゃ　見れなかった　それだけで Kimi igai ja mirenakatta sore dakede Which you were the only one able to see. That's all.

Back to *始まるのは、サヨナラ　闇に浮かぶ真っ白なライン

君だけを呼び導いてる　独りで手にする夢だと Kimi dake wo yobi michibiiteru hitori de te ni suru yume dato Is calling and guiding you and only you, to a dream you must attain with your hand.

**鮮やかに誘われる　今の君は間違いじゃない

Azayaka ni sasowareru ima no kimi wa machigai ja nai You're being drawn to the brilliance, but it's not a mistake at all. 走る未来で　僕らがいた思い出を輝かせて Hashiru mirai de bokura ga ita omoide wo kagayakasete Please, in your future, bring our old memories into shine.

ずっとこのままで　居たいね、　とはしゃいでた

Zutto kono mama de itai ne, to hashaideta It'd be great if we could stay like this forever. We used to joke playfully. 幼いあの時には無邪気に戻れなくて

Osanai ano toki ni wa mujaki ni modorenakute However, we're no longer able to return to our innocent and simple youthful time. 「許可なんて別にいらないし。行けよ」とからかって

"Kyoka nante betsuni iranai shi. Ike yo" to karakatte "You don't really need anyone's permission. Just go." We bantered. 笑えたらそれでいい　顔上げて Waraetara sore de ii kao agete Raise your head, and please make sure that your smile always stays.

始めるため、サヨナラ　違う道を歩いてくけど

Hajimeru tame, sayonara chigau michi wo aruiteku kedo Since we'll begin our journey, we bid goodbye. Although we'll go our separate ways, ここからずっと思ってるよ　心は独りにさせない Koko kara zutto omotteru yo kokoro wa hitori ni sasenai I will constantly be thinking about you. I won't ever let our hearts feel lonesome. いつも僕も翔び立って　僕だけの明日へ行くなら

Itsumo boku mo tobitatte boku dake no ashita e yuku nara If someday I must take flight and head towards my own tomorrow, 離れた事で　きっとどこかで　近付くと信じている Hanareta koto de kitto dokoka de chikazuku to shinjiteiru I believe we'll surely be drawn nearer to each other after we have bid goodbye.

BACK TO *始まるのは、サヨナラ　闇に浮かぶ真っ白なライン

僕たちを呼び導いてる　それぞれ手にする夢だと Bokutachi wo yobi michibiiteru sorezore te ni suru yume dato Is calling and guiding you and me, to a dream we must each attain with our own hand. BACK TO **鮮やかに誘われる　今の君は間違いじゃない走る未来で　僕らがいた　思い出を輝かせて

Hajimaru no wa, Sayonara Info:

Hajimaru no wa, Sayonara (始まるのは、サヨナラ, The Beginning is, Goodbye), performed by ON/OFF, is the second opening theme for the anime Beelzebub. Hajimaru no wa, Sayonara is ON/OFF's sixth single. It was used from episode 11 through episode 23.

The original span was to start from Episode 13 (now Episode 11), but following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, two episodes have skipped airing, while all other releases, including the release of the next two episodes and this opening, remained on schedule. Hence, Episode 11 is the first episode to feature this opening theme.
