Catalog no. ZMCP-1719
A version with string quartet & piano accompaniment is included on the GLORY DAY single, as well as a piano instrumental version.

Smile (Japanese: スマイル lit. Sumairu) is the third ending theme song of the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, the 16th ending overall, and the first ending track that was not composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.

It debuted in AG052, and a second cut with different lyrics debuted in AG062. It was replaced by Full of Summer!! in AG083, but the second cut was used afterwards from AG092 to AG098.

Smile is notable in that it was the first ending sequence to be updated whenever one of the main characters caught or evolved one of their Pokémon. Updating opening and ending sequences with team changes is now standard practice in the anime.

Lyrics

Japanese Romaji English Translation
こらえきれずに 今流した Koraekirezu ni ima nagashita The tears you shed now,
君の涙が光って Kimi no namida ga hikatte Unable to hold them back, are shining
それでも変わらずに Soredemo kawarazu ni Even so, that doesn't change
気ままな風は胸を揺さぶるよ Kimama na kaze wa mune wo yusaburu yo The unrestrained wind that moves your heart
 
頑張ることは大切だけど Ganbaru koto wa taisetsu dakedo It's important to try hard, but
正直な君の弱さを Shoujiki na kimi no yowasa wo If your strength only exists
隠すためだけにある Kakusu tame dake ni aru To hide your honest weakness,
強さなら なくていいから Tsuyosa nara nakute ii kara You're better off without it.
 
今は見えなくても Ima wa mienakutemo Even if you can't see it now,
確かに君の胸の中にある Tashika ni kimi no mune no naka ni aru It is certainly there in your heart:
何かを信じ抜く強さは Nanika wo shinji nuku tsuyosa wa The strength to keep believing in something
君の笑顔を待ってる Kimi no egao wo matteru Awaits your smile.
 
ひとはみな誰もが 今日をさまよう Hito wa mina daremo ga kyou wo samayou All people wander through today,
ちいさな旅人 chiisa na tabibito Little travelers
時には迷い 時にははぐれ Toki ni wa mayoi toki ni wa hagure Sometimes getting lost, sometimes straying
明日を探してる Ashita wo sagashiteru As they search for tomorrow
 
傷つくことから 逃げ出して Kizutsuku kotokara nigedashite Escape from being hurt,
今日に立ちすくんだとしても Kyou ni tachi sukunda toshitemo Even if you can't move today
何も無くしてしまうものなど Nanimo nakushite shimau mono nado There's nothing to lose,
きっと ないはずさ Kitto nai hazu sa Surely
 
明日のはじまりに Ashita no hajimari ni Because we are standing
ぼくらは立っているから Bokura wa tatteru kara At the beginning of tomorrow
 
小さくても大事な一歩は Chiisa kutemo daiji na ippo wa A step so small, yet important
君の未来を描き出すよ Kimi no mirai wo egaki dasu yo Will depict your future
何かをつかんだ Nanika wo tsukan da Grab hold of something
その汚れた手は 君の勲章 Sono yogoretate wa kimi no kunshou Your own dirty hands are your medal
 
今は見えなくても Ima wa mienakutemo Even if you can't see it now
確かに君の胸の中にある Tashika ni kimi no mune no naka ni aru It is certainly there in your heart:
何かを信じ抜く強さは Nanika wo shinji nuku tsuyosa wa The strength to keep believing in something
君の笑顔を待ってる Kimi no egao wo matteru Awaits your smile
