May'n - Chase the world

May'n, short for Mei Nakabayashi, is a young diva in the japanese music scene. She is best known for being Sheryl Nome's singing voice in the series Macross Frontier. She possesses a powerful voice despite her young age and has been to many countries to perform.
Chase the world is the opening song for the anime series "Accel World". It is written by Akio Inoue and composed by Daisuke Asakura, the two creative minds behind Takanori Nishikawa's T.M.Revolution. (Takanori is known for Rurouni Kenshin's ending theme "Heart of Sword" and countless songs for the Gundam Seed series)
Accel World is set in a world where everyone is connected to a global network via a neuro-linker. A certain group of people was selected to possess the program called "Brain Burst" which enables users to accelerate their minds and perform superhuman feats. Users enter the network in their avatar form and fight other users to gain points that allow them to accelerate in the real world.
Haruyuki the protagonist is a short and pudgy boy who is constantly bullied at school. He got introduced to the program by the school's idol Kuroyukihime. The story is about how Haruyuki's life transform through using the program and how the two of them fight on to unveil the truth behind the program and the true potential the human brain holds.

この瞳(ひとみ)は鮮やかに舞う キミしか覚(し)らない
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる セカイへ

俯き過ぎて小さい  僕だけの景色が
組み立てたジオラマの嘘だと
合わせ辛い視点に 気付いている


駆け出してゆく未来は 美しさを手に
それぞれが翔べる場所を 問い掛けてく


この瞳(ひとみ)は鮮やかに舞う キミしか覚(し)らない
加速して初めて 往(ゆ)ける僕は僕の先へ

もっと昂(たか)く もっと強く キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる chasin' the world

何度もなぞり続けて 擦り切れてしまった
「諦めてしまえ」と云う文字が
築かせた壁を 壊したがっている

直向(ひたむ)きに祈る声も 闇に割れる夜
叶わない残酷さを 潜(ひそ)ませても

この翼で 想うよりも 遥かに羽撃(はばた)く 
抑えない鼓動が 運命を進ませるなら


願う前に 戻る前に キミを抱き締めて
彼方へと 跳び立つ changing' your world

この瞳(ひとみ)は鮮やかに舞う キミしか覚(し)らない
加速して初めて 往(ゆ)ける僕は僕の先へ

この翼で 想うよりも 遥かに羽撃(はばた)く 
抑えない鼓動が 運命を進ませるなら


もっと昂(たか)く もっと強く キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる セカイへ!

Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
Awaken as you step into a new world


I was always looking down and my vision
was like a diorama, a pack of lies
I know that it is hard for you to see things like that


The future that is running off is trying to grasp beauty
We start to question the places that we can fly to


Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
As I accelerate, for the first time I could see myself heading somewhere


Higher, faster, I want to reach you
Awaken as you take a step in, chasin' the world


I tried tracing it countless times but it always gets cut off
The wall that I built with the words "Give up!"
is asking to be destroyed


The earnest voices of prayer in the night that gets ripped by darkness
Even if I have to hide unspeakable cruelty


These wings will get you further than just thoughts
If this irrepressible pulse can edge destiny on 


Before I wish, before I return, I want to embrace you
Leap into the other side, changing' your world


Only you can perceive my eyes dancing vividly
As I accelerate, for the first time I could see myself heading somewhere

These wings will get you further than just thoughts
If this irrepressible pulse can edge destiny on 

Higher, faster, I want to reach you
Awaken as you step into a new world!
