Lyrics[]
Anime ja nai! Anime ja nai
Hontou no koto sa
Minna ga neshizumatta yoru
Mado kara sora wo mitai to
Tottemo sugoi mono wo mita n' da
Otona wa dare mo warai-nagara
Terebi no misugi to iu kedo
Boku wa zettai ni zettai ni
Uso nanka itte 'nai
Joushiki to iu megane de
Boku-tachi no sekai wa
Nozokeya shinai no sa
Yume wo wasureta furui chikyuu-jin yo
Chorus:
Anime ja nai Anime ja nai
Suteki na sekai
Anime ja nai Anime ja nai
Genjitsu na no sa
Anime ja nai Anime ja nai
Fushigi na kimochi
Anime ja nai Anime ja nai
Hontou no koto sa
Yoake ni heya wo nukedashite
Nagisa de zutto matte 'ru to
Tottemo sugoi mono wo mita n' da
Himitsu no hanashi hanasu tabi ni
Manga no yomisugi to iu kedo
Boku wa zettai ni zettai ni
Uso nanka itte 'nai
Joushiki to iu ruuru de
Hakarenai sekai wo
Wasurecha ikenai yo
Yume wo wasureta furui chikyuu-jin yo
Chorus
Hontou no koto sa Hontou no koto sa
(It's) Not an anime, not an anime,
It's true.
In the night when everybody was wrapped in sleep,
I looked at the sky through the window,
And I saw such a great thing.
All adults say with a laugh,
"You watch too much television",
But I never ever
tell a lie.
Our world
cannot be looked into
through the glasses of common sense.
You old Earthians who forgot dreams.
Chorus:
Not an anime, not an anime,
A lovely world,
Not an anime, not an anime,
It's a reality,
Not an anime, not an anime,
A wonder feeling,
Not an anime, not an anime,
It's true.
Sneaking out of the room at dawn,
I kept on waiting on the beach,
And I saw such a great thing.
Every time I have a secret talk,
People say "You read too much manga",
But I never ever
tell a lie.
Don't forget
the world cannot be measured
by the rules of common sense.
You old Earthians who forgot dreams.
Chorus
It's true, it's true.
