Shoujo Koukyoukyoku (少女交響曲, Girl's Symphony) is a song released by Wake Up, Girls! on the DIVE II entertainment label on August 26th, 2015. The song appears as track #1 on Shoujo Koukyoukyoku, and track #10 on Wake Up, Best! 2 (Disc 1). It served as the ending and main theme of the film Wake Up, Girls! Shadow of Youth. The song is centered by Minami Katayama.


Appearances[]

Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage[]

After Wake Up, Girls! had suffered a mass decrease in popularity after having disappointing sales attempts when working in Tokyo, they all sit in despair in a small park. Then, Tasuku Hayasaka approaches them and hands them a new song, which turns out to be 'Shoujo Koukyoukyoku' on the condition that they compete with it at the 2015 Idol Festival. They then perform a partially animated performance as the ending.

Wake Up, Girls! Beyond the Bottom[]

The song is first mainly seen in the Sendai regional stage of the 2015 Idol Festival. Wake Up, Girls! competed against Oga Nahamagez using their old Gokujou Smile/7 Girls War outfits. They ended up winning (albeit whilst admitting that it was close). However, it was realised that the song would have to be retired for the final, as the rules stipulated a new song was to be written instead, of which Tasuku refused to write.

The song then makes a minor appearance in the national tour from WUG as they travel in their main van alongside Kouhei Matsuda.

Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou[]

The song made it's first appearance in the final episode, during WUG's final concert as part of their national tour. They perform a medley, including notable songs such as 'Tachiagare' and '7 Senses'. However, it is mixed differently as to how it appears in the studio version, in that only the introduction instrumentation and chorus is only included, excluding the verse transition and 1st verse.

Live Appearances[]

The song has been seen in the 2nd Live Tour, 3rd Live Tour and 4th Live Tour. Additionally, the first major appearance after the airing of the film 'Seishun no Kage' was during the 2015 Winter Festa, during which WUG performed fully in their single costumes.

Releases[]

The song was released unusually before the actual airing of the film on August 26, 2015 in the single 'Shoujo Koukyoukyoku'. It was also assisted by a music video bundled with the limited edition version of the single, and a short version clip which was released on July 31, 2015. An album version of the song is also in the 'Wake Up, Best! 2' album.

Lyrics[]

Mada honno josou dakara kowai nante itte nai
Takanaru mune no kodou seifuku de sotto kakushite
PORIFONIKKU na yume ni obore jibun ga mienaku naru no
Kore ga hatsukoi de nakattara subete wo nugisuteru no ni

Yureru shoujo no kimochi GARASU no you ni moroku itai
Konomama ja (kokkuechae cha chae!)
Koware sou (anata nara kitto daijoubu!)
Mou watashi (bakuhatsu sunzen!) afureru...!

(PAPPARAPPAPPARAPPA!)
Ippai nayanda hibi wa kesshite muda ja nai kara
Egao dake wa kyou mo CHAAJI shite fuan to butsukaru
(You, Never never give up!)
Arinomama wo dasu no wa totemo yuuki iru kedo
Yappa sunao na jibun mite hoshii kimi ni todoketai
Hajimete no SHINFONII

DOMINANTO no hibiki tsudzuki modokashisa ni mi wo yojiru
Kimi to mitsumeatte kara toki wa nagare yuuhi wa shizumi
DEMOONISSHU na kaze ni furue SUKAATO no naka zawatsuku
Demo ne kimeta no kono CHANSU de kimi no omoi shiritai to

"Tada no tomodachi de" nante yoku aru kurishe wa kikitakunai
Wagamama na (atonihikenai ke nakenai!)
Shoujo da to (anata no honki misechae!)
Omowarete (mou hito oshi jan!) ii kara...!

(BANBABANBONBABANBON!)
Hontou ni daiji na mono wa itsumo mieru wake ja nai
Dakara ima no jibun shinjite mirai wo shinjite
(You, Never never look back!)
Motomeru kokoro areba kanashimi mo samishisa mo
Kitto utsukushii keshiki ni kawaru kimi to tsumugidasu
Toumei na SHINFONII

Utagau koto oboetara kirinai kedo
Minna yowai yo ne watashi mo onaji
Hito to hito to ga tsunagaru tte kiseki
Tsugi no shunkan
kono te wa hanareru kara
Gomen, sayonara

Hitotsu hitotsu no oto wo ookina FUUGA ni shiyou
Jibun no yowasa sarakedashite demo kimi to tsunagarou

(You, Never never give up!)
(You, Never never give up!)

Ippai nayanda hibi wa kesshite muda ja nai kara
Egao dake wa kyou mo CHAAJI shite fuan to butsukaru
(You, Never never give up!)
Arinomama wo dasu no wa totemo yuuki iru kedo
Yappa sunao na jibun mite hoshii kimi ni todoketai
Hajimete no SHINFONII

まだほんの序奏だから 怖いなんて言ってない
高鳴る胸の鼓動 制服でそっと隠して
ポリフォニックスな夢に溺れ 自分が見えなくなるの
これが初恋でなっかたら すべてを脱ぎ捨てるのに

揺れる 少女の気持ち ガラスのようい脆く痛い
このままじゃ (告っちゃえちゃえちゃちゃえ!)
壊れそう (アナタならきっと大丈夫!)
もう私 (バクハツ寸前!)あふれる...!

(パッパラッパッパラッパ!)
いっぱい悩んだ日々は けっして無駄じゃないから
笑顔だけは今日もチャレンジして 不安とぶつかる
(You, Never never give up!)
ありのままを出すのは とても勇気いるけど
やっぱ 素直な自分見てほしい 君に届けたい
はじめての交響曲 (シンフォニー)

ドミナント響き続き もどかしさに身をよじる
君と見つめ合ってから 時は流れ夕日は沈み
デモーニッシュな風に震え スカートの中ざわつく
でもね 決めたのチャンスで 君の思い知りたいと

「ただの 友達で」 なんて よくあるクリシェは聞きたくない
わがままな (後に引けないけなけない!)
少女だと (アナタの本気に見せちゃえ!)
思われて (もうひと押しじゃん!) いいから...!

(バンババンボンババンボン!)
本当に大事なものは いつも見える訳じゃない
だから今の自分信じて 未来を信じて
(You, Never never look back!)
求める心あれば 悲しみも淋しいさ (さみしさ)も
きっと 美しい景色に変わる 君と紡ぎ出す
透明な交響曲 (シンフォニー)

疑うこと 覚えたらキリないけど
みんな弱いよね 私も同じ
人と人とが つながるって奇跡
次の瞬間 このては離れるから
ごめん、さよなら

ひとすひとすの音を 大きなフーガにしよう
自分の弱ささらけだしてでも 君とつながろう

(You, Never never give up!)
(You, Never never give up!)

いっぱい悩んだ日々は きっして無駄じゃないから
笑顔だけは今日もチャレンジして 不安とぶつかる
(You, Never never give up!)
ありのままを出すのは とても勇気いるけど
やっぱ 素直な自分見てほしい 君に届けたい
はじめての交響曲 (シンフォニー)

This is still just the prelude, so I won’t say I’m scared yet
I hide my racing heartbeat under my uniform
Drowning in polyphonic dreams, I lose sight of myself
If only this weren’t my first love, I’d fling everything off

A girl’s wavering motions are fragile and painful like glass
At this rate (C’mon, say it, say it, say it!)
I’m going to break (You’ll be fine)
I can’t (I’m gonna explode) hold it in anymore…!

(PAPPARAPPAPPARAPPA!)
The days spent worrying definitely aren’t a waste
Just a smile can recharge me for the day, knocking away my anxiety
(You, Never never give up!)
It takes a lot of courage to say the truth
But I want you to see my honest side, I want to reach you
It’s my first symphony!

This dominating reverb goes on, I’m writhing in frustration
As we gazed into each other’s eyes, time passed, and the sun set
My skirt rustles, shaken by the devilish wind
But I’ve decided to take this chance to learn how you feel

I don’t want a cliched answer like “Let’s just be friends.”
Even if (Don’t quit after this!)
You think of me (Show me how serious you are!)
Even as a selfish girl (don’t push!) I don’t mind…!

(BANBABANBONBABANBON!)
The truly important things can’t always be seen
So I’ll believe in who I am today, and I’ll believe in the future
(You, Never never look back!)
If my heart desires it, even my sorrow and loneliness
Will change into a beautiful scene, I’ll compose this with you
A transparent symphony

There’s no end to my memories of doubt
Everyone is weak, I’m weak too
It’s a miracle that people can connect with each other
But in the next instant, these hands will be separated
So I’m sorry, farewell!

Let’s turn each of these notes into a grand fugue
I’ll be connected to you, even if my weakness is exposed

(You, Never never give up!)
(You, Never never give up!)

The days spent worrying definitely aren’t a waste
Just a smile can recharge me for the day, knocking away my anxiety
(You, Never never give up!)
It takes a lot of courage to say the truth
But I want you to see my honest side, I want to reach you
It’s my first symphony
