At a glance, always Work Work Work

So my nickname is Super girl

My friends all ask

How do you divide On and Off?

Difficult tasks are like a game

If you clear it, I get an Award

I'll tell you, You can do it too

Holding hands - Say this magic word

ASOBO

Our eyes meet, Switch on

In fun mode, ASOBO

Heart

Exciting things - If you choose, It's so

It's so × 5 - High key Easy breezy

Together, ASOBO

Hey ASOBO

Hey ASOBO

Rather than pursuing perfection - (So tell me)

I wanna be what I wanna be - (What what)

Life is not a test, enjoy (Oh I see) - Find! You know (What I mean?)

Share the exciting pieces

Smiling faces Everywhere - Feel the love in the air

Even if the scenery is the same as usual

If you change the filter - A whole new world

Cast a spell on everything!

On 'One, two, three' in one voice - Say this magic word

ASOBO

Our eyes meet, Switch on

In fun mode, ASOBO

Heart

Exciting things - If you choose, It's so

It's so × 5 - High key Easy breezy

Changing daily life - The more you enjoy, the more
