I finally got BENI's new single "好きだから" I'm not too fond of the main track,(I like it now) but there was a gem laying in track 2, "One In A Million." I really love the message behind it. It's basically a song telling people to love themselves as they are. It's old advice, but I think everyone, especially women, should love themselves no matter what. The media amongst many other things have been skewing our perception of beauty since it's inception.

I translated the song below, and I hope everyone enjoys it!

One In A Million
Lyrics: BENI
Composer: Daisuke "D.I" Imai

Look in the mirror what do you see?
Searching for something because you think you're not good enough
You hide your real appearance very well
You lose sight of yourself down the road

Monday to Sunday comparing yourself to someone else
That girl's being herself, you can be yourself too, it's okay
Love you for who you are It's attractive
Never change yourself

You are one in a million
Baby girl there is only one of you in this world
The truth is you're beautiful
Always love yourself more too
You are so special
One in a million

Overdoing your makeup and putting on too many accessories
No matter what you wear, you still don't feel good blue heart
Your best quality is your heart and soul
Smile Your natural smile

Monday to Sunday comparing yourself to someone else
That girl's being herself, you can be yourself too, it's okay
Love you for who you are It's attractive
You're beautiful as you are

You are one in a million
Baby girl be different from everyone else and shine on
If you're going to change be yourself
Love yourself more than anyone else too
You are so special

Little by little, all your wounds will heal
Feel like you're an important person
So don't condemn that girl in the mirror
You're a powerful diamond you already shine

You are one in a million
Baby girl there is only one of you in this world
The truth is you're beautiful
Always love yourself more too

You are one in a million
Baby girl be different from everyone else and shine on
If you're going to change be yourself
Love yourself more than anyone else too
You are so special
One in a million
You are so special
One in a million

Romaji

kagami wo miru tabi what do you see?
tarinai toko bakari sagasu
hontou no sugata umaku kakushite
machi ni dete jibun wo miushinau

Monday to Sunday dareka to hikakusuru
ano ko ha ano ko de kimi ha kimi de ii yo
Love you for who you are sore ga miriyoku nano
sono mama de ite hoshii

You are one in a million
Baby girl kono sekai de tatta hitori no kimi dakara
ari no mama ga beautiful
jibun wo motto aishite donna toki mo
You are so special
One in a million

muri ni meiku ya akusesarii
kasanete mo harenai buruu na heart
ichiban no pointo ha kokoro kara
warau kimi no sono natural smile

Monday to Sunday dareka to hikakusuru
ano ko ha ano ko de kimi ha kimi de ii yo
Love you for who you are sore ga miriyoku nano

You are one in a million
Baby girl hoka no dareka to chigau hikari wo terashite
kawaritai nara be yourself
jibun wo motto aishite dare yori mo
You are so special

sukoshi zutsu kizutsuki migakarete
watashitachi taisetsu na mono wo shiru
dakara semenai de girl in the mirror
daiyamondo yori tsuyoku you already shine

You are one in a million
Baby girl kono sekai de tattahitori no kimi dakara
ari no mama ga beautiful
jibun wo motto aishite donna toki mo

You are one in a million
Baby girl hoka no dareka to chigau hikari wo terashite
kawaritai nara be yourself

You are so special
One in a million
You are so special
One in a million
