[English]

(So why)

I'll reveal the truth (Answer)

(So bright)

The illusion hidden in that fist (Mysterious)

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

(So why)

Drawn to it, destiny

(So bright)

Every time it shines, we meet again

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

Secret in the moonlight

Mirage sways in the panoramic sunset

Leading to a restless night

Feel the city's breeze, heat rises with rhythm

Hearts pounding with hot anticipation

Like the moonlight illuminating the darkness

Probing each other’s flip side (Flip side)

Dancing with shadows that sway playfully

(So why)

I'll reveal the truth (Answer)

(So bright)

The illusion hidden in that fist (Mysterious)

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

(So why)

Drawn to it, destiny

(So bright)

Every time it shines, we meet again

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

Secret in the moonlight

The dilemma of subtle manipulation

And the white rose's thorn blocks us

Feelings burning so intensely they can't reach you

Reaching out through the mirror

Closing my eyes, opening my heart

Layered flip side (Flip side)

We dream the same dream

(So why)

I'll reveal the truth (Answer)

(So bright)

The illusion hidden in that fist (Mysterious)

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

(So why)

Drawn to it, destiny

(So bright)

Every time it shines, we meet again

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

Secret in the moonlight

Like decorating jewels, the dazzling city

Leading to your unique sparkle in this crowded streets

Guiding you through the Blue Moon Night

(So why)

I'll reveal the truth (Answer)

(So bright)

The illusion hidden in that fist (Mysterious)

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

(So why)

Drawn to it, destiny

(So bright)

Every time it shines, we meet again

Blue Sapphire floating in the night

Secret in the moonlight

Secret in the moonlight

Secret in the moonlight
