[English]

Wow... Like California girls, like California girls

Playful little lips, Uwa uwa woo (Uwa uwa uwa)

When things get noisy, it’s party time again (Party party party)

One by one, two by two, we join in

Climb into the convertible, let’s go for a ride!

Let’s gather our dreams

How do you, how do you, how do you feel right now?

I have to do all the things I want to

Youth vanishes in the blink of an eye!

Every day sparkles like an anniversary—our shining diary (Diary)

Can’t wait for summer anymore, the breeze feels so good

Where you and I want to go is always paradise... That’s it!

Exactly!

If you put on a boring watch

You’ll spend boring time

No no no

Yes yes

What’s important is the present

When night falls, Uwa uwa woo in the desert (Uwa uwa uwa)

Stars that are so beautiful they bring tears fall down (Foo loo foo loo foo loo)

If you feel the night breeze so cold

Shall we try sleeping close together?

That sounds wonderful too, right?

What do you, what do you, what do you think?

Waking up to the morning light

See, another special day is added to our list

Every day’s filled with all new things overflowing (Everyday)

If you miss it, you might regret it for a lifetime

What you and I want are beautiful memories... That’s it!

Exactly!

If life’s boring

You’ll become a boring adult

Happy days, happy endings—all the scenes from movies we've seen

I want to experience it all with you

Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Wow wow

Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Yeah yeah

I want to feel excited! How about you?

Every day shines like an anniversary—our sparkling diary (Diary)

Can’t wait for summer anymore, the wind feels so nice

Where you and I want to go is always paradise...

[Japanese]

Wow... Like California girls Like California girls

悪戯なクチビルたちUwa uwa woo (Uwa uwa uwa)

騒ぎだしたらまたまたParty timing (Party party party）

ヒトリ、フタリ、と加わって

Convertibleに乗り込んだらLet’s drive!

夢を集めましょうよ

How do you How do you How do you feel it now?

やりたいこと全部やらなくちゃ

若さなんてあっ！と言う間に消える

毎日がAnniversaryみたいにきらめくDiary (Diary)

夏まではもう待ってらんない 風が気持ちよく吹くから

キミと私が行きたいところはいつでもParadise... That’s it!

そうよ！

つまんない時計はめたら

つまんない時間過ごすのよ

Non non non

Yes yes

大事なのは今よ

夜になったら砂漠にUwa uwa woo (Uwa uwa uwa)

ナミダがでるくらい綺麗な星が降る (Foo loo foo loo foo loo)

夜風を冷たく感じたら

くっつきながら眠ってみましょうか?

それも素敵でしょ ねえ

What do you What do you What do you think about?

朝の光浴びて目覚めたら

ほらねもうヒトツ 記念日また増える

新しいことばっかり溢れてるのよEveryday (Everyday)

見逃したらきっと一生 後悔をしちゃうかもね

キミと私が欲しいものは麗しきMemories... That’s it!

そうよ！

つまんないLife styleじゃ

つまんないオトナになるのよ

Happy days happy end 映画の中で 見たことがある場面全部

経験したいWith you

Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Wow wow

Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Yeah yeah

ワクワクしたい！ How about you?

毎日がAnniversaryみたいに きらめくDiary (Diary)

夏まではもう待ってらんない 風が気持ちよく吹くから

キミと私が行きたいところはいつでもParadise...
