[English]

SHOOT one hitting

SHOOT two hitting

SHOOT It’s kidding

SHOOT Let’s do it!

A flame with nowhere to go

Scattering sparks

So suffocating

An awakening heartbeat

Smooth without a sound

To the point of being ruthless

In the deepening darkness

Searching for love

Feels like being swallowed

Absurd misfortune

Yet the rule that makes us rise

I don’t wanna lose

To those who won’t fight now

There’s no future where you get stronger

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, when we open the door of love

Reignite, now imagine

Revolution (Wow!)

Like an illusion

I won’t give you a moment to sparkle

We gotta target on!

A finishing shot that pierces itself

Invisible to everyone

A sweet show

We gotta target on!

From our side, it’s slow motion

Launch a no‑motion BANG!!

We gotta target on!

Crying and laughing

If you can do it

La ta ta ta ta ta

BANG!!

Crossing glances

Snipers of betrayal

Slip through

Supreme thrill

Bluff or truth?

The more clever it is

Even I

Love that you lose sight of

Looks like we can get it back

This irrational

Surging emotions

I don’t wanna lose

What’s important,

I won’t let anyone decide

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, when we open the door of love

Reignite, now imagine

Revolution (Wow!)

Like an illusion

I won’t give you a moment to sparkle

We gotta target on!

Choose whichever you like

I’m always the risky one

We gotta target on!

Launch it speedily

Spinning wildly

Living

We gotta target on!

Use everything we have

When I take them in hand, they all shine

Dark side, light side

A trembling heart, yet we choose love

Your love…

To the fading flame of my heart

Your love’s O₂

Blow it in, see? Burn!

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, when we open the door of love

Can’t stop

Engulfing everything

Back off now!

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, when we open the door of love

Reignite, now imagine

Revolution (Wow!)

Like an illusion

I won’t give you a moment to sparkle

Let’s go

Even if I close my eyes, I won’t miss

Ride on time with unhidden emotions

We gotta target on!

The bullet is light, the resolve heavy

Piercing through, this is my aesthetic (Big up!)

Crying and laughing

If I can do it with you

La ta ta ta ta ta

La ta ta ta ta ta

BANG!!

Key Grammar Structures

• I don’t wanna lose

  ➔ colloquial negative form "don’t want to"

  ➔ The verb "want" is turned into a negative with the auxiliary "don’t" and the infinitive "to" is omitted: "don’t " + "wanna" + "lose".

• 強くなる未来なんてこないぜ

  ➔ dismissive なんて + negative verb

  ➔ The particle "なんて" attaches to "未来" to express "such a thing as a future where you become stronger" and is followed by the negative verb "こない" (won’t come).

• 選んでお好きな方

  ➔ て‑form + honorific お + adjective/noun (polite request)

  ➔ The verb "選んで" (the て‑form of "選ぶ") is followed by the honorific prefix "お" and the noun "好きな方". This polite construction means "choose the one you like".

• 吹き込む​べばほら Burn!

  ➔ conditional 「～ば」 + interjection "ほら"

  ➔ "吹き込めば" is the conditional form of "吹き込む" (to blow into). It means "if you blow in" and is followed by the interjection "ほら" (look!), adding emphasis before "Burn!".

• 泣いたり笑ったり

  ➔ verb‑たり…たりする (listing actions)

  ➔ The pattern "verb‑たり…たりする" lists representative actions. Here "泣いたり笑ったり" means "crying and laughing (among other things)".

• 目を閉じたって外さない

  ➔ ～て＋も (even if) in colloquial "～たって"

  ➔ "閉じたって" is the colloquial contraction of "閉じたっても" (even if you close). It shows concession: "Even if I close my eyes, I won’t let go."

• 弾き金は軽く 覚悟は重く

  ➔ adjective + く (adverbial) to modify verb/phrase

  ➔ The adjectives "軽く" and "重く" are the adverbial く‑forms of "軽い" (light) and "重い" (heavy). They describe how the "弾き金" (trigger) and "覚悟" (resolve) are respectively "lightly" and "heavily".

• 全てを巻き込む

  ➔ verb + を for direct object (transitive usage)

• 貫いてく This is my 美学

  ➔ て‑form + く (directional verb) indicating continuation

  ➔ "貫いてく" combines the て‑form of "貫く" (to pierce) with "く" to express moving forward with the action, similar to "keep piercing" or "go on piercing".
