[English]

You count the medals 1, 2 and 3

Life goes on Anything goes Coming up OOO

...

I don’t have or chase useless dreams

Being free… that’s good too, though

(It starts from here—The show we’re waiting for

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

Fate won’t leave you behind

In the end, you have no choice but to move forward

(An unknown development—Give me energy

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

It’s okay. Tomorrow is always a blank page

Your worth is something you decide for yourself

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO! Come on!

Anything Goes! The thing that makes your heart burn

Searching for something that fulfills you

Life goes on! If you fight with all you’ve got,

You shouldn’t feel like you’ll lose!

Don’t chase status on the outside

Confidence hidden inside is what matters

(Desires multiplying—Like no limit

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

Even if you compare backs and line up together,

Doesn’t it feel pointless? Let’s break out

(You can be free from average

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

It’s okay. It’s fine to be different from everyone

Because we’re each separate, individually

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO! Come on!

Anything Goes! That heart

to what it seeks

The more honestly you become

Life goes on! Gaining speed

You can’t stop it, you shouldn’t feel like you’ll lose!

True spirit of heart never give up

Tell your mind and soul never to give up!

...

Starting from 1, from there

Skip addition and soar upward with multiplication

Anything goes! Goes on...

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO! Count the medals 1, 2 and 3

Anything Goes! That heart

that becomes hot

Searching for something that satisfies

Life goes on! Put your heart into it

If you fight, you won’t feel like losing

Anything Goes! Gaining speed

Can’t be stopped, you shouldn’t feel like losing

...

[Japanese]

(You count the medals 1, 2 and 3

Life goes on Anything goes Coming up OOO)

要らない持たない夢も見ない

フリーな状態... それもいいけど

(こっから始まるThe show we're waiting for

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

運命は君 放っとかない

結局は 進むしかない

(未知なる展開 Give me energy

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

大丈夫。明日はいつだって白紙(Blank)

自分の価値は 自分で決めるものさ

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO!Come on!

Anything Goes! その心が熱くなるもの

満たされるものを探して

Life goes on! 本気出して戦うのなら

負ける気しないはず!

外側にステイタス求めないで

内に秘める 自信が大事

(欲望増殖 Like no limit

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

その背を比べ 並んだって

意味なくない? 一抜けしよう

(You can be free from average

Count the medals 1, 2 and 3)

大丈夫。みんなと違ってもいい

別々それぞれだからそう、奇跡的!

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO! Come on!

Anything Goes! その心が

求めるものに

正直になればなるほど

Life goes on! 加速ついて

止められなくて負ける気しないはず!

True spirit of heart never give up

Tell your mind and soul never to give up!

1からのスタート そこから

足し算を飛ばして かけ算で駆け上がっていって

Anything goes! Goes on...

OOO!OOO!OOO!OOO! Count the medals 1, 2 and 3

Anything Goes! その心が

熱くなるもの

満たされるものを探して

Life goes on! 本気出して

戦うのなら負ける気はない

Anything Goes! 加速ついて

止められなくて負ける気しないはず
