TAKE ME HIGHER

TAKE ME HIGHER
Sung by: V6

Version 1.00

Note: This song takes a tad of explaining. In 1997, V6 member Nagano-kun starred in "Ultraman Tiga." This was actually a pretty big deal. "Ultraman" is one of those long-running sentai series in Japan, like Power Rangers or Masked Rider. They're really popular, especially for young boys, and Nagano-kun was THE Ultraman Tiga. (Heck, little boys still recognize him because of that...) Anyway, TAKE ME HIGHER was the V6 single that was used as the opening theme song. But if it weren't for the constant references to "Tiga" in the lyrics, you'd never guess that it was anything other than a well-written V6 Eurobeat hit. MAN I love Avex Trax... home of techno dance goodness for all of Japan...

shizuka ni asayake ga daichi o tsutsundeku
itsumo to kawaranu yoake...

Quietly, the morning glow envelopes the land
It's the same dawn as always...

haruka ni tsuzuiteku kurikaeshi no naka de
bokura wa ima o ikiteru

Far off, it continues inside of the refrain
Right now we are alive

mienai kyou no kaze ni tachimukatteyuku
itsumademo mamoritai sono hohoemi o...

We're stand up against the day's unseen wind
I want to always protect that smile...

Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
ai o dakishimete ima
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
yuuki dakishimete tsuyoku
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher

Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
Embrace love right now
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
Embrace courage tightly
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
Surely you can find your way
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
Believe in hot pulsing...

arasoigoto no nai ashita o sagashiteru
daremo ga machinozonderu

We're looking for a tomorrow where there is no fighting
Everyone is waiting just for that

bokura ga dekiru koto o tsuzuketeyuku yo
yasashiku narereba ii tayasazu itai

We will continue to do what we can
I want to become used to being nice without letting the fire go out

Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
subete ugokihajimeta
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
michi o kirihiraiteyuku
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher

Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
hikaru hitomi o shinjite...

Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
Everything's started to move
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
Clear a path to the future
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
I can't be stopped
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
Believe in twinkling eyes...

Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher

itsuka wa todoku kitto bokura no koe ga
sekai mo kaeteyukeru jidai o koete...

Someday they will surely reach everyone our voices will
And the world will change, too passing through the ages...
