[English]

An open stage

Now, push to play

Let's play this game to the fullest

With a pounding heart, dance freely

It's this hand that holds our fate

The peak looks incredibly huge

A scene that seemed unrelated to me

If I win, I'll be there too

But then I hear someone say, "You should stop"

A formidable warrior that seems unbeatable

Defeat is bittersweet

Ah, it's so far away

Victory runs away when you chase it

Who is by my side to help me jump over this high wall?

I can't run away anymore, this bond is my wings

Grab my trembling arm and fight

Head up! Let's move forward

I've got your back, okay?

Love being number one

Aiming for that world that's close yet far

You're not alone

I found a reason to be strong with you

So, what kind of tomorrow awaits us?

Turbulence, overlapping troubles

But being weak is taboo

In times of crisis, go in without guard

I got ya, eye contact

Moment by moment, the situation changes

Hey, it seems this is the crucial moment

Check right, left, front, and back, I can see the peak now

To the point where it bursts in my mind

Rising high into the sky beyond the clouds

I see, I see, it's reassuring together

Let me look cool, fly me

Pride, past tears swallowed,

Countless battles... let's connect them all

The end of this story

Let's laugh together in the promised land, partner

Stand up! Let's walk side by side

Beyond this dreamlike tale

Head up! Let's move forward

With you, I won't run away from anything that comes

Even if I try thousands of times and can't reach it

I'll bet on one more time

Even if it’s tough and I cry

I found a reason to stand up again because of you

Love being number one

Aiming for that world that's close yet far

You're not alone

I found a reason to be strong with you

So, come on brother, let's go together

[Japanese]

開かれたステージ

さぁPush to Play

とことん遊び尽くそうぜこのゲーム

弾んだ胸 自由に踊れ

運命を握るのはこの手

頂点はやたらデカそうで

自分とは無縁に見えた光景

俺だって勝てばそこへ

ってとこに「やめときな」誰かの声

歯が立ちそうにない強大なウォーリアー

敗北はほろ苦い

あぁ、遠いなぁ

追えば逃げてくのさ勝利は

高い壁 飛び越える為 今隣にいてくれるのは誰？

もう逃げちゃダメ この絆が羽

震える腕を掴み闘え

Head Up! 前へ進もうぜ

背中は任せたOkay？

No.1を愛せ

近くて遠いその世界目指して

一人っきりじゃないぜ

まだ強がれる理由を君と見つけたから

さぁどんな明日が待ってる？

乱気流、重なるトラブル

でも弱気になるのはタブー

ピンチの時こそノーガード

I got ya アイコンタクト

刻一刻、状況は変化

なぁどうやらここが正念場

右左前後確認 さぁ見えてきたぞ頂点が

頭の中まで弾けるくらいに

空の向こうまで天高くライジング

I see, I see 一緒なら安心

カッコつけさせてくれよFly me

プライド、涙飲んだ過去、

いくつものバトル…全てを繋ごう

このストーリーの最後は

約束の地で笑おうぜ相棒

Stand Up! 肩並べ行こうぜ

夢物語のその向こうへ

Head Up! 前へ進もうぜ

君となら 何が来たって逃げやしないぜ

何万回トライして届かなくても

もう一回に賭けて

散々だって泣いて

また立ち上がる理由を君に見つけたから

No.1を愛せ

近くて遠いその世界目指して

一人っきりじゃないぜ

まだ強がれる理由を君と見つけたから

さぁ兄弟一緒に行こうぜ
