Translation of "That's already a miracle" from Musical No.6
ミュージカル「NO.6」 · No.6: The Musical · Song · 2025
(in response to @scatteredshowersposts's ask if there were lyrics available for any of the No.6 Musical songs)
This song is a duet between Nezumi and Shion immediately after Shion kisses Nezumi goodbye and goes off to save Safu from the Correctional Facility alone without telling Nezumi. Below are the original Japanese lyrics, their romaji transcription, and my English translation. Any transcription or translation errors are mine as I typed out the lyrics by listening to the song.
Lyrics under the cut!
Nezumi:
That night, when my strength had failed me and I had given up, a window opened before me
You had thrown your hands wide, almost like you were telling me, come on in!
That was already a miracle
Shion:
That night, I heard a voice in the depths of my heart,
and when I opened the window, I met you.
I'm simply drawn to you—there's no reason for it.
Isn't that already a miracle?
Both:
Our chance encounter that night, that was already—
Nezumi:
That warmth I felt for the first time
Shion:
That color of those eyes I saw for the first time
Nezumi:
Feeling at a loss for the first time
Shion:
Feeling pain for the first time
Nezumi:
Those feelings I felt for the first time
Shion:
That everything that I learned for the first time
My English translation of the first of two No.6 side stories written by Asano this year has been posted. This one accompanies the ebook version of No.6 Reunion #1, but you don't need to have read any of No.6 Reunion to read this one.
As always, many thanks to my editor @jaywalkings and beta team @minamiren @nezumiismissing @glittercracker for your hard work <3
No.6: Reunion is so surreal, still can't believe it happened ❤️ Gonna dedicate this page to my No.6 fanarts old and new, excited to share them with you ☺️💕
this chapter of no. 6 reunion was truly the craziest thing ever. asano atsuko really looked us straight in the eye and said "who gets to decide what it means to 'fix' the world? just because some people might have more money, more resources, more guilt, does that mean they should get to determine what comes next for the people who've been maliciously oppressed? does progress really count as progress if it takes someone away from their home, their way of life, their child? and is there a way for those who have no resources at their disposal to fight back against such 'progress'?"
and then at the end she turned around and said "also nezumi's here probably if you even care"
