[English]

Hey, I'm ready

So now…

Yeah, one after another, nonstop

From here on, cover your eyes

Just race through a sweet, edgy reality

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Wrap it up gently, carry the inconvenience

(Guard, guard)

Somewhere in this world, Dead or Alive

Unwavering hopes for this future

No doubts, no reasons

Just, you'll be alright

I realized… I’ll protect what’s important—smiles

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

Just go ahead, charge forward, risking everything

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

With all our might, full of reckless spirit—That’s my way

I’m not scared, I’ll protect it with these hands, absolutely

Ready? Break it! Let it fly!

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

Yeah, a secret hero even you don’t know

The thread of fate, a tightrope walk, ya

Even sharp, dark madness

I’ll dodge them effortlessly, without a hint of danger, yeah

Surpassing expectations, elevating to excitement

How far shall we go?

To the other side of peaceful everyday life

We’re breaking in

Yeah, gonna kill it

Unwavering hopes for this future

No doubts, no reasons

Just, you'll be alright

I realized… I’ll protect what’s important—smiles

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

Just go ahead, charge forward, risking everything

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

With all our might, full of reckless spirit—That’s my way

I’m not scared, I’ll protect it with these hands, absolutely

Ready? Break it! Let it fly!

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

Hold onto your will within your heart

Face the arrows that aim to realize your dreams

Overcome unexpected traps and fakes

Let’s jump over them all

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

Just go ahead, charge forward, risking everything

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

With all our might, full of reckless spirit—That’s my way

I’m not scared, I’ll protect it with these hands, absolutely

(Let me take you by the hand, by the hand)

(Now we gotta BREAKOUT out out)

Now we gotta BREAKOUT

(Ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah)

I’m not scared, I’ll protect it with these hands, absolutely

Ready? Break it! Let it fly!

Now we gotta BREAKOUT
