[English]

Let me witness this amazing show!

...

Breaking through the dark reality that should be bleak

Stamp this: no one was there

A moment with a clear answer

Shaking off the fake

It is real

Complete breakthrough, showtime

Keep flying for life

Dive into the state of pure focus

Show it with pure devotion, fly, fly high

Even in the next life, win or lose

Drive with relentless drive

Beyond sensation, in your mind

I grab a dream

I wanna make it real (Connection to awakening)

I wanna make it real (Perfect formation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

Dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk!

I wanna make it real (Cheering nonstop)

I wanna make it real (Standing ovation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

I make a dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk! Whoa-whoa

D-, dunk!

Yeah?

No

I

...

My vision is in full slow motion

Kneel down, no one was there

A world where everything is see-through

Creating fame

It is real

The true difference in standing

An overwhelming, undefeated joker

Carved in grime, about a girl

Show now, grab it, fly, fly high

Definitely, give me more

Make the crowd say, 'Just what I wanted!'

Surpass legends like Jordan

I grab a dream

I wanna make it real (Connecting to awakening)

I wanna make it real (Perfect formation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

Dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk!

I wanna make it real (Cheers never stop)

I wanna make it real (Standing ovation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

Dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk! Whoa-whoa (D-, dunk!)

This is our moment!

One shot, either we succeed or fail!

No delays, no excuses

I warned you, we're taking it!

...

Complete breakthrough, showtime

Keep flying for life

Dive into the mindset of pure focus

Show your spirit unshaken, fly, fly high

Next life, win or lose

Drive with unstoppable engines

Go beyond senses, deep inside

I grab a dream

I wanna make it real (Connecting to awakening)

I wanna make it real (Perfect formation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

Dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk!

I wanna make it real (Cheers never stop)

I wanna make it real (Standing ovation)

I wanna make it real, real, real, real

Dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk! Whoa-whoa

(Whoa-whoa, oh-oh)

I make a dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk! Whoa-whoa

(Whoa-whoa, oh-oh)

I make a dunk, dunk!

Make a dunk, dunk! Whoa-whoa

Yeah

Oh

I
