《On Your Mark》 - CHAGE & ASKA

[Vietsub] On Your Mark - (CHAGE & ASKA PV) from Ashura Nguyen on Vimeo.


Ghibli Experimental Theater On Your Mark is one of my favorite animated music video created by Studio Ghibli for the song "On Your Mark" by the Japanese rock duo Chage & Aska. The song was released in 1994 as part of the single "Heart". In 1995, Hayao Miyazaki wrote and directed the short film for the song as a side-project after having writer's block with Princess Mononoke. The anime music video is non-linear, providing multiple reiterations and alternate scenes to depict the events.


Lyrics translated in English:

	If our hands let go, it wouldn't make a sound A coin keeps falling, never to return again
	You and I beside each other Pass by the dawn on our bicycles
	On your mark, every time. Then you start running. I catch the cold that's spreading around
	On your mark, yet we'll never stop We look up at the hill of dreams, feeling like we must go
	And we, have small empty spaces in our hearts Together we shake off a rain shower of words
	An answer isn't given, though it seems an answer was given Like reading a clock's symbols with invisible hands
	You and I entirely Recognize that we are still too young
	On your mark, every time. Then you start running. I catch the cold that's spreading around
	On your mark, we cannot be free Towards the heart of a dream, we are called to each other
	And we..
	On your mark, every time. Then you start running. I catch the cold that's spreading around
	On your mark, yet we'll never stop We look up at the hill of dreams, feeling like we must go
	On your mark, every time. Then you start running. I catch the cold that's spreading around
	On your mark, we cannot be free Towards the heart of a dream, we are called to each other
	Oh... and we
