Plazma is a song by Kenshi Yonezu, and is the theme song to Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-, and the opening song of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX series.
Themes[]
According to a short article about the making of the music video for the original song, Yonezu and Yanagisawa Sho, the director of the video, define the main theme of the song as "the initial impulse during a girl's first encounter with 'something' that she will pursue with passion for the rest of her life." It was also specifically stated that the music video does not contain any spoilers for the said Gundam show or the theatrical version of its first 3-4 episodes.[1]
Lyrics[]
Moshimo ano kaisatsu no mae de
Tachidomarazu aruiteireba
Kimi no kao mo shirazu no mama
Shiawase ni ikiteitadarou ka
Moshimo ano uramon o koete
Soto e nukedashite inakereba
Aogi mita hoshi no kagayaki mo
Kutsu no yogore ni kawatteita
Nekoronda rinoriumu no ue
Sakadachi shite surimuita ryoute
Koko mo ginga no hateda to shitte
Memai ga shita yoake mae
Kikoete kotaete todoite hoshikute
Hikatte hikatte hikatte sakenda
Kanaami o koete korogari ochita
Setsuna sekai ga irozuiteku
Tobidashiteike uchuu no kanata
Me no mae o buchinuku purazuma
Tada hitasura mitoreteita
Aza mo kizu mo shirazu ni
Nan kounen to hanareteite mo
Fumidashita karada ga tomaranai
Ima kimi no koe ga touku kikoeteiru
Hikatteiku
Aratame guchi no naka kugurinuke
Hada o tsukisasu ryuushi
Roji ura no yozora ni nagareboshi
Hidoku nigemadou nezumi
Moshimo ano hitogomi no mae de
Kimi no te o hanasanakereba
Moshimo fui ni deta ano koe o
Kitsuku nomikondeireba
Moshimo ano kaisatsu no mae de

Kimi wa doko ni mo iya shinakute

もしもあの改札の前で
立ち止まらず歩いていれば
君の顔も知らずのまま
幸せに生きていただろうか
もしもあの裏門を越えて
外へ抜け出していなければ
仰ぎ見た星の輝きも
靴の汚れに変わっていた
寝転んだリノリウムの上
逆立ちして擦りむいた両手
ここも銀河の果てだと知って
眩暈がした夜明け前
聞こえて 答えて 届いて欲しくて
光って 光って 光って叫んだ
金網を越えて転がり落ちた
刹那 世界が色づいてく
飛び出していけ宇宙の彼方
目の前をぶち抜くプラズマ
ただひたすら見蕩れていた
痣も傷も知らずに
何光年と離れていても
踏み出した体が止まらない
今君の声が遠く聞こえている
光っていく
改メ口の中くぐり抜け
肌を突き刺す粒子
路地裏の夜空に流れ星
酷く逃げ惑う鼠
もしもあの人混みの前で
君の手を離さなければ
もしも不意に出たあの声を
きつく飲み込んでいれば
もしもあの改札の前で
立ち止まらず歩いていれば
君はどこにもいやしなくて
僕もここにいなかった
あの日君の放ったボールが額に当たって
倒れる刹那僕は確かに見た
ネイビーの空を走った飛行機雲を
これが愛だと知った
飛び出していけ宇宙の彼方
目の前をぶち抜くプラズマ
ただひたすら見蕩れていた
痛みにすら気づかずに
何光年と離れていても
踏み出した体が止まらない
今君の声が遠く聞こえている
光っていく
光っていく
If I'd kept walking and never stopped by that ticket gate
Would I have lived happily ever after, never knowing you?
If I hadn't jumped over the back gate and escaped outside
The radiance from the stars above would have turned into stains on my shoes
Stretched out on the linoleum floor Hands scraped from handstands
It was right before dawn when dizziness hit me upon realizing this place was also on the edge of the galaxy
I heard your voice, and desperate to deliver my answer,
I sparkled, sparkled, sparkled, and cried out
The moment I jumped over the chain link fence, stumbled, and fell, the world began to take color
Leap out into the depths of the universe, let the plazma blast through everything in your path
Utterly mesmerized, oblivious to the bruises and scars to follow
Though we're separated by light years, there's no stopping me now that I'm on the move
At this moment, your voice sounds so distant
Shining on
As I pass through the access door, tiny particles pierce my skin
From the back alley, I watched as stars shot their light across the night sky Rats scurried away frantically
If I hadn't let go of your hand in that crowd
If I'd held back that spontaneous outcry and swallowed it down hard instead
If I'd kept walking and never stopped by that ticket gate
You'd have been nowhere to be found, and I wouldn't be here
That day, the ball you threw struck me on the forehead
The moment I fell, I distinctly saw
A vapor trail streaking across the navy-blue sky
I realized this was love
Leap out into the depths of the universe, let the plazma blast through everything in your path
Utterly mesmerized, oblivious to any pain
Though we're separated by light years, there's no stopping me now that I'm on the move
At this moment, your voice sounds so distant
Shining on
Shining on

Notes & Trivia[]
- At 1:03 in the opening, the gMS-α Red Gundam's movements are a direct reference to those of Gundam Mk-II in the openings of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. In all of them, the Gundam's shield on the left arm is destroyed by missiles, following which it emerges from the smoke and debris using that arm, ignites a beam saber, and flies away.
- The CD release - Installer Device version has an Anaheim Electronics logo included.
