[English]

Yeah... Woo... Let's run again!

(Take me there...) I’m a flying fish

(Fly me there...) Woo... Yeah

(Take me there...) A new trial has begun

The moment I arrive at a place I’ve never seen after setting out

The expanding scenery is so dazzling (Blazing)

After youth, what kind of spring awaits the next season?

While coloring, it’s waiting for me, isn’t it?

Refreshing Green Green, soaring through sea and sky

Like a flying fish, flexible and soaring high

So refreshing Groon Groon, fighting against the wind

Trying to reach the sun now

Bathed in new light, my scales shine blue

Refreshing Green Green, I start running again from here!

When frustration comes from not knowing black or white

Struggling in the gray area is also important

Just a little reflection on the past, surely

There’s an answer, and that’s proof I’ve lived my life

Refreshing Green Green, this world is vast

The path I pursue stretches endlessly

So refreshing Groon Groon, reflected in my eyes

Everything is (Go On) reality

The spray on my whole body can be momentarily shaken off

Refreshing Green Green, reaching out to the future with these hands

Let’s go together; my goal is

Still (no one has seen it)

Still (no one knows it)

A fantastic utopia

Refreshing Green Green, soaring through sea and sky

Like a flying fish, supple and graceful...

[Japanese]

Yeah... Woo... また走り出す！

(Take me there...) I’m a flying fish

(Fly me there...) Woo... Yeah

(Take me there...) 始まったNew trial

旅立ちのそのあと 見知らぬ場所に着いた瞬間

広がる景色は あまりにも眩しい（Blazing）

青春って言う 時間の次の春は どんな

色をしながら 僕を待っているんだろう？

爽快 Green Green 海も空もFly

飛び魚みたい しなやかFly

So 爽快 Groon Groon 風に抗い

太陽を (Now On) 掴んでみるさ

新たな光を浴びて 鱗は青く輝き

爽快 Green Green ここから また走り出す！

白黒がつかない もどかしさを感じたときには

曖昧の狭間 もがくのも必要（Important）

ほんの少し 昔を振り返れば きっと

答えはあるよ それが生きてきた証

爽快 Green Green この世界は広い

進んでく道 果てなく長い

So 爽快 Groon Groon 瞳に映る

すべてが (Go On) 現実だよ

全身に受けた飛沫は 刹那で弾き飛ばせる

爽快 Green Green 未来に この手を伸ばし

一緒に行こう 僕が目指すのは

まだ（誰も見てない）

まだ（誰も知らない）

Fantasticなユートピア

爽快 Green Green 海も空もFly

飛び魚みたい しなやか...
