Hajimaru no wa, Sayonara

, performed by ON/OFF, is the second opening theme for the anime Beelzebub. Hajimaru no wa, Sayonara is ON/OFF's sixth single. It was used from episode 11 through episode 23.

The original span was to start from Episode 13 (now Episode 11), but following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, two episodes have skipped airing, while all other releases, including the release of the next two episodes and this opening, remained on schedule. Hence, Episode 11 is the first episode to feature this opening theme.

English Translation
It begins with a goodbye. A blindingly white line, floating in the darkness, bringing your loneliness into radiance, is calling and guiding you and no one else.

"There's something I wish to see, but since it's not here..." Looking away, you assert. However, you're no longer astray from your path.

We dashed through many unforgettably dazzling sceneries, which you were the only one able to see. That's all.

It begins with a goodbye. A blindingly white line, floating in the darkness, is calling and guiding you and only you, to a dream you must attain with your hand.

You're being drawn to the brilliance, but it's not a mistake at all. Please, in your future, bring our old memories into shine.

"It'd be great if we could stay like this forever." We used to joke playfully. However, we're no longer able to return to our innocent and simple youthful time.

"You don't really need anyone's permission. Just go." We bantered. Raise your head, and please make sure that your smile always stays.

Since we'll begin our journey, we bid goodbye. Although we'll go our separate ways, I will constantly be thinking about you. I won't ever let our hearts feel lonesome.

If someday I must take flight and head towards my own tomorrow, I believe we'll surely be drawn nearer to each other after we have bid goodbye.

It begins with a goodbye. A blindingly white line, floating in the darkness, is calling and guiding you and me, to a dream we must each attain with our own hand.

You're being drawn to the brilliance, but it's not a mistake at all. Please, in your future, bring our old memories into shine.
