一个年轻人正坐在高架桥上，目光呆滞，自言自语，后面会发生什么？
日本語
皆さん、こんにちは。
突然ですが、ある日の夕暮れ時、高架橋の上に腰掛けている一人の若者を想像してみてください。
彼の目はうつろで、力なく地面を見つめ、ぽつりと独り言をつぶやいています。
「またダメだった……。僕なんて、誰の役にも立てないのかな……」
就職活動や仕事、人間関係。一生懸命がんばっているのに結果が出ず、自分を見失いそうになる瞬間は、誰にでもあるのではないでしょうか。この青年もまさに、そんな「絶望の淵」に立っていました。
その時です。近くの広場から、風に乗って、聞き覚えのある優しいメロディが流れてきました。
それは、私たちがよく知っているあの名曲、『世界に一つだけの花』でした。
「NO.1にならなくてもいい もともと特別なOnly one」
その歌詞が耳に届いた瞬間、青年はハッと顔を上げました。
「そうか……NO.1にならなくていいんだ」
彼は、他人と自分を無理に比べて、「優秀でなければ価値がない」と自分を責め続けていたことに気づかされました。子供の頃から何度も聴いてきたはずのこの歌が、傷ついた彼の心に、これまでで一番深く、優しく染み渡っていきました。
「僕には、僕だけの咲き方がある」
うつろだった青年の瞳に、すっと温かい光が戻りました。彼は深く息を吸い込むと、もう一度前を向いて、自分の足で一歩を踏み出しました。
私たちはつい、誰かと比べて焦ったり、落ち込んだりしてしまいます。でも、そんな時はこの青年と同じように、あの優しい歌を思い出してほしいのです。私たちは誰もが、世界に一つだけの、特別な花なのですから。
ご清聴ありがとうございました。

Hello, everyone.
HeLLO, Everyone.
First, please imagine a scene.
FIRST, please iMAgine a SCENE.
On a quiet evening, a young man is sitting on an overpass.
On a QUIet EVEning, a YOUNG MAN is SITting on an Overpass.
His eyes are vacant, staring at the ground, and whispering to himself:
His eyes are VAcant, STAring at the GROUND, and WHISpering to himSELF:
“I failed again. Is there really no place for me in this big city?"
“I FAILED aGAIN. Is there REALly NO PLACE for me in this BIG CIty?"
Job hunting, work, or relationships…
JOB hunting, WORK, or reLAtionships…
When we try our best but get no results, we all feel lost sometimes.
When we TRY our BEST but get NO reSULTS, we ALL feel LOST sometimes.
This young man was standing at the edge of despair.
This YOUNG MAN was STANding at the EDGE of desPAIR.
Just then, a gentle melody drifted in on the wind.
JUST THEN, a GENtle MElody DRIFted in on the WIND.
It was a famous song we all know so well: “The Only Flower in the World."
It was a FAmous SONG we ALL KNOW so WELL: “The ONly FLOWer in the WORLD."
“You don’t have to be Number One. You are already a special, Only One."
“You DONT have to be NUMber ONE. You are alREAdy a SPEcial, ONly ONE."
Hearing those lyrics, the young man suddenly looked up.
HEARing those LYrics, the YOUNG MAN SUDdenly looked UP.
“That’s right… I don’t need to be Number One."
“That’s RIGHT… I DONT NEED to be NUMber ONE."
He realized he had been hurting himself by constantly comparing with others.
He REAlized he had been HURting himSELF by CONstantly comPARing with Others.
The song he had heard so many times since childhood now deeply and gently touched his broken heart.
The SONG he had HEARD so MAny times since CHILDhood now DEEPly and GENTly TOUCHED his BROken HEART.
“I have my own way to bloom."
“I HAVE my OWN WAY to BLOOM."
Warm light returned to his vacant eyes.
WARM LIGHT reTURNED to his VAcant EYES.
He took a deep breath, looked straight ahead, and took a firm step forward.
He took a DEEP BREATH, looked STRAIGHT aHEAD, and took a FIRM STEP FORward.
We often get anxious and compare ourselves to others.
We OFten get ANXious and comPARE ourSELVES to Others.
But in those moments, please remember this gentle song.
But in THOSE MOments, please reMEMber this GENtle SONG.
Because each of us is the only and most special flower in the world.
BeCAUSE EACH of us is the ONly and MOST SPEcial FLOWer in the WORLD.
Thank you very much.
THANK you VEry MUCH.
