• By: FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Yeah... Woo... また走り出す！

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

(Take me there...) I’m a flying fish

(Take me there...) I’m a flying fish

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

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

(Take me there...) 始まったNew trial

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

旅立ちのそのあと 見知らぬ場所に着いた瞬間

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

広がる景色は あまりにも眩しい（Blazing）

The expanding scenery is so dazzling (Blazing)

青春って言う 時間の次の春は どんな

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

色をしながら 僕を待っているんだろう？

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

爽快 Green Green 海も空もFly

Refreshing Green Green, soaring through sea and sky

飛び魚みたい しなやかFly

Like a flying fish, flexible and soaring high

So 爽快 Groon Groon 風に抗い

So refreshing Groon Groon, fighting against the wind

太陽を (Now On) 掴んでみるさ

Trying to reach the sun now

新たな光を浴びて 鱗は青く輝き

Bathed in new light, my scales shine blue

爽快 Green Green ここから また走り出す！

Refreshing Green Green, I start running again from here!

白黒がつかない もどかしさを感じたときには

When frustration comes from not knowing black or white

曖昧の狭間 もがくのも必要（Important）

Struggling in the gray area is also important

ほんの少し 昔を振り返れば きっと

Just a little reflection on the past, surely

答えはあるよ それが生きてきた証

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

爽快 Green Green この世界は広い

Refreshing Green Green, this world is vast

進んでく道 果てなく長い

The path I pursue stretches endlessly

So 爽快 Groon Groon 瞳に映る

So refreshing Groon Groon, reflected in my eyes

すべてが (Go On) 現実だよ

Everything is (Go On) reality

全身に受けた飛沫は 刹那で弾き飛ばせる

The spray on my whole body can be momentarily shaken off

爽快 Green Green 未来に この手を伸ばし

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

一緒に行こう 僕が目指すのは

Let’s go together; my goal is

まだ（誰も見てない）

Still (no one has seen it)

まだ（誰も知らない）

Still (no one knows it)

Fantasticなユートピア

A fantastic utopia

爽快 Green Green 海も空もFly

Refreshing Green Green, soaring through sea and sky

飛び魚みたい しなやか...

Like a flying fish, supple and graceful...
