Lyrics & Translation
(IMP.) Neo JP icon’s gonna make you wanna say (Oh wow!)
IMP.’s gonna rock, We run to the top, Can’t take us down (Brah)
Unwavering bond, Just trust and love
Get the brand new crown
Just the prologue, this race has only just begun
Taking root from TOKYO, proving ourselves by our existence
Stretching skyward like the number “1”
Deeply rooted, There is no trick
From this street corner, like a rollercoaster, Speeding up, breaking through barricades
Critical hits one after another!
Catching blessings from PINKY.
BOOM... BAM-BOO!
Everybody say
Lalala Iya (Alright)
Lalala Iya (Alright)
BOOM... BAM-BOO!
Everybody say
Lalala I Lalala (Alright)
Lalala I Lala (Alright) Lalalala
Feeling-feeling kinda right-right
We’ll be like, stretching our wings toward the sun
Scorching, burning, a race on the edge
Unlike Icarus, our wings won't melt (FLY!)
Pump ya fist and scream n’ shout
Life is always, No rehearsal
Seriously speeding on a CBR (VROOM)
Fast and Furious, a cruise of mutual trust
We gotta do at least something worth more than scraps of bamboo and rotten wood!
Blasting away chances, foolish parameters
Reaching into the sky, stalk and nodes, Get up!
Branches and leaves swaying flexibly in the wind, roots spreading out
Uh, infinite spiral, Fibonacci, rotating as we ascend to the distance (Hoo)
Yeah, carving it into our bodies
Let's leave behind a meritorious achievement for the ages!
(We go like this)
BOOM... BAM-BOO!
Everybody say
Lalala Iya (Alright)
Lalala Iya (Alright)
BOOM... BAM-BOO!
Everybody say
Lalala I Lalala (Alright)
Lalala I Lala (Alright) Lalalala
