Introduction

| Beautiful... |
Hajimari no Setsuna (in Japanese, はじまりのセツナ) is the opening theme song for Akebi's Sailor Uniform anime. It is made by Sugiyama Katsuhiko, in terms of song lyrics, the song composition and the arrangement of the song. It's just so beautiful that I have to do it after publishing the blog post about Akebi no Seiraafuku. Anyway, let's move on.
Lyrics
Original
時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ
まだ何も知らない同士なのに
どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き
はじまりのセツナ
見慣れてない景色がキラリ光った
君が名前を呼んでくれたからだよ
クラスメートじゃなく 友達になりたい
君に思っていたの 密かにずっと
もっと知りたい もっと知って欲しい
話さえぎるチャイム 夕日に染まる君
“bye bye”って言いたくない
時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ
まだ何も知らない同士なのに
どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き
はじまりのセツナ
大きく手を振る 君がとても綺麗で
振り返すことも忘れそうだよ
どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き
きらめきのセツナ
相槌を打ってる君の瞳は
胸のロック開ける パスコードみたい
話したかったことが 寂しかったことが
次々に溢れて いっぱいになる
息を切らして 駆けあがる坂道
心を追い越して 身体がはしゃいでる
ドキドキが止まらない
大人になりたい 背伸びする度 揺れる
今がほら 素敵すぎるからだよ
どうしてなの？ 嬉しい気持ちなのに
涙が出ちゃうな
高台からの風景がオレンジの宝石箱みたい
それでもお腹は空いてきて 可笑しくてひとりで吹き出した
Ah もう君に話したくなったよ
大人になりたい 背伸びする度 揺れる
今がほら 素敵すぎるからだよ
どうしてなの？ 嬉しい気持ちなのに
涙が出ちゃうな
時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ
まだ何も知らない同士なのに
どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き
はじまりのセツナ
ずっと続いて セツナ

English Translation
I wish that time would stop because
We still don't know anything about each other
Why? Because I already like you
From the beginning at that very moment.
An unfamiliar scenery sparkles right before me
Because you called my name.
Deep down in my heart,
I don't want to just be your classmate but to be your friend
I want to get to know you more,
I want you to get to know me more.
As the chime interrupts our conversation,
The sight of you being dyed like the sunset
Makes me not want to say goodbye to you
I wish that time would stop because
We still don't know anything about each other
Why? Because I already like you
From the beginning at that very moment.
The sight of you waving at me vigorously is so beautiful
That I forget to wave back to you
Why? Because I already like you
At that very moment of excitement.
With your attentive eyes, you made me open up to you,
just like one who uses a passcode to unlock.
The things that I want to say, the loneliness that I felt within,
One by one, all of those thoughts start to overflow.
I start running out of breath as I run up the hill.
As I surpass my limit, I become even more pumped up.
My heart couldn't stop beating!
Whenever I grow taller, my wish to become an adult is shaken.
Because right now, it's really an amazing moment.
Why? Why am I in tears right now
although I'm really happy?
The scenery from above is like an orange jewellery case.
But still, when I'm hungry, I would laugh out loud awkwardly.
Ah, now, I feel like sharing it with you.
Whenever I grow taller, my wish to become an adult is shaken.
Because right now, it's really an amazing moment.
Why? Why am I in tears right now
although I'm really happy?
I wish that time would stop because
We still don't know anything about each other
Why? Because I already like you
From the beginning at that very moment
The very moment that I will always remember in my heart.

Chinese Translation
如果我们能暂停时间的话，那该有多好啊。
因为我们还对彼此一无所知。
为什么？因为我喜欢上你了，
就在初次见面的那一瞬间。
那崭新的景色在闪烁着，
那是因为你叫了我的名字。
我一直想要与你做朋友，
不想要只是成为你同班的同学。
我想更加了解你，也想你更了解我。
钟声打断我们的谈话，看着被夕阳照的你，
我真的不想与你说声再见。
如果我们能暂停时间的话，那该有多好啊。
因为我们还对彼此一无所知。
为什么？因为我喜欢上你了，
就在初次见面的那一瞬间。
用力地向我挥手的你真美丽，
让我差点忘了向你挥手。
为什么？因为我喜欢上你了，
就在闪耀的那一瞬间。
你那眼神把我心胸打开了，
就像用密码打开宝箱一样。
我心中想说的东西，我感到寂寞的经历，
一点一点地从心中涌出。
我气喘呼呼地在波道上奔跑。
在突破极限之时，我感到越来越兴奋。
我心跳也扑通扑通地难以停下来。
每当我长高，要快高长大的想法被动摇，
因为现在，这一瞬间真的太灿烂了。
为什么？明明应该是喜悦的心情，
为什么我现在泪流满面？
从高处望下来的风景就像个橘色的漂亮宝箱,
即使如此每当我肚子咕咕叫时，我都会难为情地笑出来。
啊。。。好想与你分享此时此刻呀。
每当我长高，要快高长大的想法被动摇，
因为现在，这一瞬间真的太灿烂了。
为什么？明明因该是喜悦的心情，
为什么我现在泪流满面？
如果我们能暂停时间的话，那该有多好啊。
因为我们还对彼此一无所知。
为什么？因为我喜欢上你了，
就在初次见面的那一瞬间，
那永远在我心中的一瞬间。

Commentary

| This scene... |
...この歌のことなんだけど...簡単に形容できないよ。この歌、明日ちゃんアニメのオープニングテーマとして一番適当です！！！Ahem! Sorry got carried away. As I've said, it is really tough to describe this opening theme song. This song is most suited to be the opening theme song of Akebi-chan. The song portrays Akebi Komichi's journey of befriending people of her age, which she wasn't able to do so in her primary school where she was the only student (maybe besides her sister, Kao later in her primary school years). It also portrays Komichi's journey of getting used to normal school life. Well, her primary school life is exactly normal frankly because there is only her (and later, her sister) in the school as a student.

| Komichi is as nervous as she could be... |
The song reminds me of so many encounters and interactions between Komichi and her classmate. The interaction between her and Erika, her and Touko, her and Tomono, her and Riri, her and Minoru, her and etc...are so precious and so relevant to this song. Ah...I...silent for a moment...I really dun have anything more to say about this song. It's just great...great till the point that I'm speechless. AHEM! Let's move on.

| Having lunch together... |
 |
| Interesting time with Tomono... |
 |
| Spending time in her friend's dorm... |
 |
| Akebi and Minoru, her classmate. |
Conclusion
Oh, hi, you are here? I hope that you had fun reading this blog post and browsing this blog. I really want to do this post as soon as I can. This song reminds me so much of the reason why I'm absolutely in love with this anime and song. It's gonna be hard for me to move on from this anime and song as it's gonna be hard to have any other anime that can match it. Goodbye, and God bless you!
