The Song
Premiered on 16 October 2026, "Raven Sky" is Ado's bold collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Masa Takumi. The song's hook — "Even on broken wings, can I learn how to fly?" — frames a dark, emotional story of failure, self-doubt and stubborn hope, echoing the tagline from the official description: "Even if I decay, I'll become someone's heartbeat." Muxic Leaks has assembled the complete bilingual lyrics below so fans can sing along in every language the song uses.
The Artists
Ado is one of Japan's most distinctive vocalists, known for explosive, genre-hopping singles like "Usseewa" and "Odo". For "Raven Sky" she teamed up with producer and arranger Masa Takumi, while the lyrics were penned by Seann Bowe and Kanata Okajima. The pairing gives Ado's voice a widescreen rock canvas that fans have compared to early-2000s rock anthems, and her confident English delivery has drawn widespread praise.
The Music Video
The official music video premiered on Ado's YouTube channel on 16 October 2026 and quickly crossed one million views, with the edit handled by ZIIEK and production by KZM. The video's stormy, cinematic imagery mirrors the song's themes of falling, flying and fighting through the dark. You can watch the full video in the player embedded below.

Raven Sky Lyrics in Japanese
[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall
A stranger in glass
All my failures staring back
向き合う程 歪んでく夢
But somehow you always stay
I'm gonna break
ひとりにして
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems there's no way to escape
Broke every promise I made
I guess I've never known a life of self control
書き殴って来た地図は
今や只 迷路のようさ
ならばいっそ 破り捨てていけ
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
飛び立つ為 伸ばした手は
絡まって また堕ちてった
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
運命だとしても
[Chorus]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
たとえ朽ち果てても 誰かの鼓動になる
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Heat. Heat.
[Verse 2]
Running through the rain
These neon colored waves
Turning my footsteps to an echo
"まだ終わらない" 呟く度
あなたは笑うの
Yeah even the crows all look down on me
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
消してしまえば 楽なのに
微笑んで また生きちゃった
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
地獄だとしても
Heat. Heat.
[Outro]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
たとえ朽ち果てても 誰かの鼓動になる
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
たとえ朽ち果てても 誰かの鼓動になる
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Raven Sky Lyrics in Romaji
[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall
A stranger in glass
All my failures staring back
Mukiau hodo yugande ku yume
But somehow you always stay
I'm gonna break
Hitori ni shite
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems there's no way to escape
Broke every promise I made
I guess I've never known a life of self control
Kaki nagutte kita chizu wa
Imaya tada meiro no you sa
Naraba isso yaburi sutete ike
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
Tobitatsu tame nobashita te wa
Karamatte mata ochi tetta
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
Sadame da to shite mo
[Chorus]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
Tatoe kuchihatate mo dareka no kodou ni naru
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Heat. Heat.
[Verse 2]
Running through the rain
These neon colored waves
Turning my footsteps to an echo
"Mada owarenai" tsubuyaku tabi
Anata wa warau no
Yeah even the crows all look down on me
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
Keshite shimaeba raku nano ni
Hohoende mata iki chatta
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
Jigoku da to shite mo
Heat. Heat.
[Outro]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
Tatoe kuchihatate mo dareka no kodou ni naru
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
Tatoe kuchihatate mo dareka no kodou ni naru
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Raven Sky Lyrics English Translation
[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall
A stranger in glass
All my failures staring back
(The more I face it, the more the dream becomes distorted)
But somehow you always stay
I'm gonna break
(Leave me alone)
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems there's no way to escape
Broke every promise I made
I guess I've never known a life of self control
(The map I scribbled down)
(It's nothing but a maze now)
(Might as well just tear it up and throw it away)
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
(The hand stretched out to take flight)
(Entangled, I fell once again)
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
(Even if it is fate)
[Chorus]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
(Even if I crumble to dust, I will become someone's heartbeat)
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Heat. Heat.
[Verse 2]
Running through the rain
These neon colored waves
Turning my footsteps to an echo
("I can't end this yet" I mutter every time)
(You laugh)
Yeah even the crows all look down on me
Everything that I need is always out of reach
Tell me please
Am I worth saving?
(It would be so much easier if I just erased it)
(Smiling, I've managed to live another day)
Is it all just a cycle?
Someone is destined to fall
(Even if it's hell)
Heat. Heat.
[Outro]
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
(Even if I crumble to dust, I will become someone's heartbeat)
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
Even on broken wings
Can I learn how to fly?
Even if I'm a feast for the raven sky
(Even if I crumble to dust, I will become someone's heartbeat)
Even on broken wings
Can I learn to fly into the blue?
