“LEO “ by tacica

Updated: Jan 28, 2023

丸い滑走路を皆　飛べると信じ直走る

Marui kassouro wo Mina toberu to shinji hitahashiru A round runway I believe that everyone can fly and run straight 選り好みしないで掴んだ未来では何か窮屈な夜 Erigonomi shinaide tsukanda mirai de wa Nanka kyuukutsu na yoru In the future I grabbed not picking Something cramped night 絶対がないからこの世界じや機械達も迷う

Zettai ga nai kara Kono sekai ja kikaitachi mo mayou Because there is no absolute This world and machinery also get lost 一人分も次第に巨大な地図その前で些細な僕だ Hitoribun mo shidai ni kyodai na chizu Sono mae de chippoke na boku da Gradually large map for one person gradually Before that it is a trivial servant 平等を願うなら皆　殆ど同じ姿形

Byoudou wo negau nara Mina hotondo onaji sugatakatachi If I wish for equality Everyone almost the same figure 立ち止まる事と引き換えの未来ではもっと窮屈な夜 Tachidomaru koto to hikikae no mirai de wa Motto kyuukutsu na yoru In the future of stopping and redeeming More cramped evening そして朝迄　燃える感情

Soshite Asa made moeru kanjou And Burning emotions until the morning 眼を閉ざして視る無闇矢鱈に燃える感情でも名前は云う Me wo tozashite miru Muyamiyatara ni moeru kanjou demo Namae wa iu Close your eyes and see Even with the burning emotions on cruelty The name says ヘッドライトの明かりそれだけ頼りに走り出した

Heddoraito no akari Sore dake tayori ni hashiridashita Headlight light That's why he started running reliably 他に何んな今日があっても生まれた体で笑っている Hoka ni donna kyou ga atte mo Umareta karada de waratteiru No matter what else is today I am laughing with the body I was born キミのテールランプの明かり頼りに誰かが走りますか?

Kimi no teeruranpu no akari Tayori ni dareka ga hashirimasu ka? Does someone run on reliance? Your light of the tail lamp 何処に　もう迷わない事誓えれば　又　笑えるだろうか Doko ni mou mayowanai koto Chikaereba mata waraeru darou ka Things you do not get lost anywhere Will I be able to laugh if I promise again? 丸い滑走路をまだ　飛べると信じ直走る

Marui kassouro wo Mada toberu to shinji hitahashiru A round runway Believe that you can still fly 望み通り自分で描いた地図では何て退屈な夜 Nozomidoori jibun de egaita chizu de wa Nante taikutsu na yoru In the map you drew yourself as you want What a boring night そして今迄　燃える感情

Soshite Ima made moeru kanjou And Burning emotions until now 眼を凝らして視る

Me wo korashite miru Staring at the eyes 勝手気侭に燃える感情でも名前は云う Kattekimama ni moeru kanjou demo Namae wa iu The name says Even if you feel burning selfishly 遠ざかる日の中に新たな旅路を仕舞い込んで

Toozakaru hi no naka ni Arata na tabiji wo shimaikonde In the day to go away Incorporating a new journey キミのもう迷わないとは只　群れを成して生きる事 Kimi no mou mayowanai to wa Tada mure wo nashite ikiru koto I do not hesitate anymore Living only as a group 溢れ出すイメージの上を続きは誰かが走りますか?

Afuredasu imeeji no ue wo Tsuzuki wa dareka ga hashirimasu ka? Does someone run for the rest Over the overflowing image? 隠れたって　ずっと背後に点した明かりは振り切れないまま Kakureta tte zutto haigo ni Tomoshita akari wa furikirenai mama Hiding behind forever The light that I pointed will not shake out 言い訳を先ず鼓動から差し引く残った分だけ勇敢な僕がいる

Iiwake wo mazu kodou kara sashihiku Nokotta bun dake yuukan na boku ga iru Deduct excuses from heartbeat There is a brave servant as much as I can remember 後悔も追付けない程の幸を不幸を越えてよ空想の彼方ヘさあ Koukai mo oitsukenai hodo no Kou wo fukou wo koete yo Kuusou no kanata e Saa I will not regret it Snow fortune beyond misery Beyond fancy here we go

テールランプの明かり頼りに誰かが走り出した Teeruranpu no akari Tayori ni dareka ga hashiridashita Someone started running on to dependence Tail lamp light

それは何んな今日であっても消えない心に残る地図 Sore wa donna kyou de atte mo Kienai kokoro ni nokoru chizu Whatever it is today A map that remains intact in my heart キミはヘッドライトの先を生まれた体で走りたくて Kimi wa heddoraito no saki wo Umareta karada de hashiritakute I wanted to run with the body I was born ahead of the headlight

此処に　もう迷わない事誓えれば　又　笑えるだろうか Koko ni mou mayowanai koto Chikaereba mata waraeru darou ka Things not to lose here anymore Will I be able to laugh if I promise again? 丸い滑走路を皆　飛べると信じ直走る

Marui kassouro wo Mina toberu to shinji hitahashiru

I believe that everyone can fly round runway and run straight

止まりそうに揺らいで光ってみるほら　きっと　大切な夜

Tomarisou ni yuraide hikattemiru Hora kitto taisetsu na yoru

Try shining brilliantly to stop You know, surely an important night

LEO Info: Official MV: https://youtu.be/X0Njn4USIfs

"Leo" (Japanese: Leo Leo) is the second closing theme of the first season of the Haikyū!! series. It was performed by Tacica (タシカ) and composed by Shoichi Igari. LEO is the fourth single by tacica. It was released on September 10, 2014, and peaked at #13 on the Oricon single chart.

Animated version

Tobio Kageyama is the only character seen in the music video; no other characters make an appearance. The animated version focuses on Kageyama, drawn in sketchy-style, practicing and doing various training regimes in the gym with volleyballs littered all over the floor and also jogging with a somewhat empty, whitish background for a short duration. This lasts for most of the ending theme until, several seconds before the song ends, Kageyama is seen bending over to pick a ball but also hit by a volleyball thrown by an unknown source on the back of his head. He then turns to the source, angry at first, but then slowly, he smiles.

Trivia

In Japan, Leo reached 13th place in the Oricon music chart, 24th in the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart, and 4th in the Billboard Japan Hot Animation chart
