[English]

Unprecedented party time

A wild and free storyline

Even if we're ecstatic, no problem at all

Seriously, we're super ready, causing a huge stir

Can't sit still, can't stand still

No brakes, no holding back

Don't worry about tomorrow

Let's think of excuses now while we can

Well, just follow me for now

Get ready to groove!

Stop complaining

No ifs, ands, or buts

With a monstrous killer tune

Hijacking your ears

Then the good vibes will send you to heaven

We're the center of attention

We're the eye of the typhoon

No objections allowed

Swallow your complaints

The highest instantaneous wind speed in recorded history

I've been a superstar since the day I was born

So much energy?! How many hPa of pressure?!

A paradise where having fun means winning

From bright to even brighter, Foo!

Dancing time, pushing past all limits

Hop on the rising current

We're soaring high!

Soaring, ta ta

Totally soaring!

HI GOTCHA!!

We're soaring high!

Why the long face? How have you been lately?

If you keep getting errors, reboot!

Acting emotionless, like some kind of machine or bot.

No no no… let's play instead of that

HI GATCHA!!

In this very moment

A lifetime's worth of happiness

Let's pack it in

HI GATCHA!!

Around the clock

Life's on the rise, I got it, I got it

Empty your mind

Dance in wild abandon

Swept away by the heat

Carefree

Give it your all

Let it all out

Dance wildly

To the very fullest, ey ey

Soaring higher and higher

Flapping wings

We'll take it all

Are we becoming superstars?

The energy is soaring from end to end

Overflowing energy. You know me?

Go wild, whirlwind, dominate the era

This brilliance is one of a kind

So much energy?! How many hPa of pressure?!

A paradise where having fun means winning

From bright to even brighter, Foo!

Dancing time, pushing past all limits

Hop on the rising current

We're soaring high!

Soaring, ta ta

Totally soaring!

HI GOTCHA!!

We're soaring high!

Climax as we enter the atmosphere, blow everything away, Foo!

Everyone, just gotta have fun, ride that tailwind!

We're soaring high!

Soaring, ta ta

Totally soaring!

HI GOTCHA!!

We're soaring high!

Key Grammar Structures

• 有頂天気味でもモーマンタイ

  ➔ ~ても (~temo) / ~でも (~demo)

  ➔ Used to express "even if/though," "even when," or "no matter what." It connects to the te-form of verbs, the ku-form of i-adjectives, or noun + particle "de" for na-adjectives and nouns. It indicates that despite a certain condition, the result remains the same or an action is still possible. Here, "有頂天気味" refers to a feeling of being elated, and "でも" means "even if/though" that's the case. So, "even if you feel elated, no problem."

• 居ても立っても居られん

  ➔ Colloquial negative potential/volitional: ~ん (~n)

  ➔ A colloquial contraction of negative verb forms like `~ない (~nai)` or `~られない (~rarenai)` (potential negative). It indicates impossibility or negative volition/intention. In "居ても立っても居られん" (itemo tattemo "iraren"), it expresses inability or impossibility, specifically "can't stand still" or "can't stay put."

• 明日のことなんか心配ねえ

  ➔ ~なんか (~nanka) & ~ねえ (~nee)

  ➔ "~なんか" (nanka) is attached after a noun or particle to express dismissiveness, belittling, humility, or to give examples. Here, "明日のこと「なんか」" (ashita no koto "nanka") emphasizes that there's no need to worry about "such trivial things as tomorrow." "ねえ" (nee) is a colloquial form of "ない" (nai), meaning "not."

• エラーばっか出ちゃうなら、再起動！

  ➔ ~ばっか (~bakka) + ~ちゃう (~chau) + ~なら (~nara)

  ➔ "~ばっか" (bakka) is the colloquial form of "~ばかり" (bakari), indicating "only," "just," or "nothing but," often with a negative nuance. "~ちゃう" (chau) is the colloquial contraction of "~てしまう" (te shimau), indicating completion, regret, or an unintentional action. "~なら" (nara) expresses a conditional "if that's the case" or "if X is true." So, "if you're just getting a bunch of errors, then reboot!"

• そんなことより遊ぼうよ

  ➔ ~より (~yori)

  ➔ A particle used to indicate a standard of comparison, meaning "more than" or "rather than." In this context, "そんなこと「より」" (sonna koto "yori") suggests prioritizing "playing" over "such things" (the aforementioned negative thoughts or situations).

• 熱に浮かされ

  ➔ Passive voice (~れる / ~られる)

  ➔ Formed by attaching `~れる (~reru)` or `~られる (~rareru)` to the imperfective stem of verbs. It indicates that the subject receives an action or influence from someone or something else. Here, "熱に「浮かされ」" (netsu ni "ukasare") means "to be delirious/carried away by the fever," implying an uncontrollable state.

• 楽しんだもん勝ちのParadise

  ➔ ~もん勝ち (~mon gachi)

  ➔ An idiomatic expression meaning "whoever does X wins" or "the one who does X benefits/is victorious." It's often written as `~者勝ち (~mono gachi)` in formal contexts. Here, "楽しんだ「もん勝ち」" (tanoshinda "mon gachi") implies that the one who enjoys themselves the most is the winner.

• 溢れんばかりのエネルギー

  ➔ ~んばかり (~n bakari)

  ➔ Attached to the imperfective stem of a verb, it means "as if about to V," "on the verge of V-ing," or "almost in the state of V-ing." Here, "溢れん「ばかり」" (afuren "bakari") means "so much that it seems about to overflow," emphasizing abundance.

• 誰彼構わず

  ➔ ~ず (~zu) / ~ずに (~zuni)

  ➔ Attached to the imperfective stem of verbs, it expresses "without doing X" or "not doing X and then doing Y." It's similar to `~ないで (~naide)` but sounds slightly more formal or literary. "誰彼「構わず」" (dare kare "kamawazu") is an idiomatic expression meaning "without caring who it is" or "regardless of anyone."
