[English]

Run through this moment

There’s no such thing as the right answer, Style wars

Sharing a resonance, Good fellows

Inviting us into a new era

3, 2, 1, Go!

Reaching out in the Red zone, stretch your hand

Rewriting, Best of the best

Cuz we are Frontiers

Even if it's distorted, surely we're fresh and beastly

Trusting in the tomorrow we've believed in, Exodus

Cuz we are Frontiers

Tearing through the darkness, diving into the light

(Rather than taking, I want to make Only what I haven't seen yet, I want to see)

Crossing over boundaries, the world expands

(No need to back gear, just step in)

Breaking through the walls now

Paving the way forward (I do)

This future blueprint (Don't give up)

Draw your own way

Go Frontiers! Hold on!

Loudly stomping forward (With you)

No matter how uncharted the terrain (Don't give up)

Even on tough stages

Go Frontiers! Hold on!

To the place where dreams come true

(My unwavering Master plan)

No matter what anyone says

(With this will, I’ll change the game)

Surely a shining ray will reach you

(How about you, How about you)

Shout out so it can reach—Go Frontiers! Hold on!

La la la... Louder, put your resolve on your back

La la la... Louder, set your heart free

La la la... Louder, hold your wishes in your hand

La la la... Louder, lift up your pride

Live fast, die young, just as I feel

Across the coast, just as I wish

Cuz we are Frontiers

(Yes, we are Frontiers)

Taking the first step into the next phase

Until I seize an uncertain tomorrow

Cuz we are Frontiers

Thinking of a distant world far away

(Stacking and building each moment, shaping the future)

Running at the front line, see the light

(This style, this life, creating a new wave)

A new dawn is coming

Breaking new ground (I do)

This future blueprint (Don't give up)

Draw your own way

Go Frontiers! Hold on!

Loudly stomping forward (With you)

No matter how uncharted the terrain (Don't give up)

Even on tough stages

Go Frontiers! Hold on!

To the place where dreams come true

(My unwavering Master plan)

No matter what anyone says

(With this will, I’ll change the game)

Surely a shining ray will reach you

(How about you, How about you)

Shout out so it can reach—Go Frontiers! Hold on!

La la la... Louder, put your resolve on your back

La la la... Louder, set your heart free

If you're not tough, you'll fade away in an instant

Never forget your roots, your neighborhood

Bonds and scars, someday they'll fuel you

Beyond overcoming, there’s a spectacular view

Young guns

(Hold up)

Even if rough, keep polishing, Killin’ it!!

Not yet perfect, keep digging, Keep diggin’ it!!

Stay true to the path you believe in, with all your heart, Rrrrh!!
