[English]
This is that tone
That prism color
We stand up
In a world where there is only black and white
Shine brighter
I’ll shout out a thousand colors
Grabbing a big brush, Oh oh
We paint this town oh oh
Unbeatable crayon, a genius touch
Soak your heart through and through
Somewhere secret
You've hidden a star
Teasing me, you pull me in
And say, let’s find it together
Yeah, It's our time
Let's shine softly
When a rainbow rises over the clear light
It’s my prism hour
Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel Color
Paint golden your eyes
Rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night
Overflowing with light
Light it up
With our colors
Bring out the color
However I wanna
Bring out the color
That’s how we do
Got a feeling
No need for an eraser
Plenty of empty space
Yah yah let’s pour and splash the paint
With this dancing Color uh
We paint this town oh oh
Clumsy drawings
Crooked lines
Even the shadows, all lovely
I’ll run even farther
It’s our time, Brilliant
Into our world dyed with colors
It’s my prism hour
Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel Color
Paint golden your eyes
Rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night
Overflowing with light
Light it up
With our colors
Shine the light
My moment
Shine the light
Now throw it open
Shine the light
We rise brighter than the moon
The way we glow
Overflowing shower of Color
This pitch-black night
Dyed in rainbows
Miracles are right near us
Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel Color
Paint golden your eyes
Rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night
Overflowing with light
Light it up
With our colors
Bring out the color
However I wanna
Bring out the color
That’s how we do
Bring out the color
However I wanna
Bring out the color
That’s how we do
