"Butter-Fly" (バタフライ Butter-Fly) is the opening song for Digimon Adventure, sung by Wada Kouji and composed by Chiwata Hidenori. It is also featured in the soundtracks for various Digimon Adventure-related media, including Digimon Adventure tri. and Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna.
Opening Description[edit]
The opening begins with Taichi flying into the sky, which transitions into a floating space of various moving letters featuring prominent landscapes of the Digital World. Taichi is later joined by Sora, Yamato, Koushirou, Mimi, Jou, and Takeru as they all fall deep into the black void. The next scene shows the logo for Digimon Adventure with a 3D animated water background, and the words "Digital Monsters" in 3D flying across the screen.
The opening then shows Taichi, Sora, Koushirou, Jou, Takeru, Mimi, and Yamato in order as they descend onto File Island, where Devimon then looms over with his Black Gears. The next few shots shows everyone's partner Digimon evolving from Baby II to Child, and it ends with Tokomon evolving to Patamon as the Chosen Children are cornered by Kuwagamon, Meramon, Seadramon, Shellmon, and Numemon. Later, the 3D animation of a Digivice as it starts an evolution is shown before each of the children's Digimon partner circles around a beam of light. Small glimpses of every Digimon's Adult evolution is shown at a rapid pace.
In the next scene, Taichi looks as Greymon breaks through a mountainous terrain. He rushes after him as Birdramon carries Sora from her feet. Koushirou is then seen riding on Kabuterimon, while Yamato and Garurumon ride below them and jump beneath a full moon. Ikkakumon rescues Jou from the depth of icy water, while Togemon walks and carries Mimi on one of her hands. Finally, Takeru stares in awe at Angemon, as he releases feathers from his wings. Following that scene, every Adult Digimon but Angemon are shown using their special attack. It then transitions to the Chosen Children's Digimon partners in their Baby II form, their Child form, and finally, after Taichi and the other children appear, their Adult form.

ゴキゲンな蝶になって きらめく風に乗って 何が WOW WOW この空に届くのだろう 無限大な夢のあとの 何もない世の中じゃ ウカレタ蝶になって 一途な風に乗って 何が WOW WOW この街に響くのだろう 無限大な夢のあとの やるせない世の中じゃ 無限大な夢のあとの 何もない世の中じゃ 無限大な夢のあとの やるせない世の中じゃ Gokigen na chou ni natte kirameku kaze ni notte Nani ga wow wow wow wow wow kono sora ni todoku no darou Mugendai na yume no ato no nanimo nai yo no naka ja Ukareta chou ni natte ichizu na kaze ni notte Nani ga wow wow wow wow wow kono machi ni hibiku no darou Mugendai na yume no ato no yarusenai yo no naka ja Mugendai no yume no ato no nanimo nai yo no naka ja Mugendai na yume no ato no yarusenai yo no naka ja I'll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if we'll reach the skies After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness I'll become a merry butterfly, and ride on the earnest wind What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if it'll echo through this town After an endless dream, in this miserable world After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness After an endless dream, in this miserable world Translated by Megchan |
