The English Translation of "future gazer" from "A Certain Scientific Railgun."

(Fu woo… fu woo… Try to be glorious believer. Just to… go on… realize soulful heart)

Let's fly faraway! I want to reach the future we promised, overcoming hesitations and taking off. In my heart, there's a resonating dream.

Under the dazzling morning sunlight, the city wakes up again today. The refreshing wind brought a premonition that made my heart leap.

When the reflected scenery in your eyes begins to shine, naturally, our feelings connect. Innocent smiles bloom.

Reaching out, embracing, the vivid reality cannot be broken by anyone. I always believe in it.

For shining truth! Even if someday we're perplexed and our hearts tremble, without hesitation, let's hold hands and run. Because we have a strong bond here!

The sunset dyed this town in madder red, and the color was gentle. When I turned around, in that moment, I felt your heart. Because there's a tomorrow guided by the miracle of our encounter, I vow not to lose the unwavering me anymore.

Going beyond imagination, memories engraved in moments. Just wanting to protect them turns my gaze into a strong force.

For dreaming eyes! Filled with hope, erase anxieties. Whether far or near, I feel you. The future is right here!

The place we reach is the dream we wished for with you on that day. Staring straight at it because I learned there are no nights that can't be revealed. Try anytime! If I gather the shining fragments of light, I want to release them into the endless sky, conveying words to you.

Precious days! Embracing the vivid reality, unbreakable by anyone. I always believe strongly.

For shining truth! Even if someday we're perplexed and our hearts tremble, without hesitation, let's hold hands and run. Because we have a strong bond here!
