Shounen Brave

Brave Boy (少年ブレイヴ Shounen Bureibu) is a song featured on the last album.

Background

 * Jin announced a PV to be released a bit after the last album was published, but it was cancelled due to heavy spoilers the video would have contained. On the 9th of December, Jin announced on his Twitter that the PV would be included in Mekakucity V's - due to the fact that this PV is intended to be exclusive to Mekakucity V's, a screening of the PV was held in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka on the 25th of December.


 * Shounen Brave tells the story of Seto's past, how he became friends with his dog, was bullied, received his eye power and again shows scenes of how he met Marry, though everything watched through the eyes of his older self and now revealing that he, by accident, read the medusa's mind when they first met, making fans assume that he knew about what would happen to him and his friends in the future.

 * -|English Lyrics=

I cried, “Please, don’t tease me” And couldn't help but tremble I was scared at how easily I felt lonely Like “courage” itself hated me

There was a puppy, rain-soaked like me And I begged it to understand me Embraced it and said “You won’t bully me, right?”

“Let’s become ‘friends’, without using words though I really want to say something” But there was was a tragedy waiting for me.

I heard it, a loud voice that knocked on my closed-off mind “They’re so dirty” “Let’s play a trick” “I hate you” “Just die already” like that

“The voice of my thoughts”, all at once refused to comply and knocked If I can’t talk, my heart will break I’m going to cry

The noise in the web called “Punishment for having dreams” was planted in me as retribution

Today, too, the voice pulled at me flowed into me as I melted I stole the psyches of others Everyone hated me for being strange

Let’s escape, fly away here, I can’t even breathe Avoid the eyes of hatred in the city I quietly dashed along to somewhere…

In the silence of the wandering forest with no destination in mind Again, I was scared and there was someone waiting for me

I could hear it “Today, too, I’m waiting for a lightly sketched ‘today’. Anyone, please, help me, I’m lonely”

“The voice of my thoughts” was of the hesitant boy I was yesterday “Are you afraid of ‘hearts’?” “Do you lack the ‘courage’ to change tomorrow?”

“That’s not true” came the faint knock of the story that I cautiously opened up

The crouching girl said “Yesterday, today, and the day before yesterday I had a dream that this wide world was easily crumbled.”

That feeling of “I’m scared” The teary voice of “It’s hard” But what if we could be saved like in a picture book?

The feelings that budded today knocked with a small voice I want to tell you “Even so, it’s alright. Don’t cry, okay?”

If I could embrace and laugh with The heart of “the voice of my thoughts” I think that a “heart that rescues hearts” could be called “courage”

As I start to move forward today, as I do every other day, I can no longer hear the voice from outside the door.
