[English]

Love Dream & Happiness - Everyone wishes for a fulfilled Full Life

The timeline reflects - An image as if the whole world is thriving

A filter in my heart - Like rain clouds floating in a clear sky, a sense of urgency

In times of trial - Focus on the future - Create a tailwind

Forge ahead, keep on finding

Happiness can't be measured by appearances

A riot of flowers, waiting for the sun

Whether simple or flashy - If you can tell your own story, that's enough

Oh! It's because I know frustration - Oh! That I can feel joy and happiness

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Raise your hands high - J.S.B. HAPPINESS

Oh! Someone is watching over you - Oh! They keep sending you cheers

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Don't forget, J.S.B. HAPPINESS

Love Dream & Happiness - Everyone is seeking a handful of Hope

I won't let you be buried - Go ahead of the times, walk the uncharted path

Unyielding and indomitable, I will promise you

My rival is my past self

Make a comeback, just keep on, keep trying

The flame of passion, let's carry the peace of silence in our hearts

Oh! It's because I know loneliness - Oh! That I can feel joy and happiness

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Let's unite our hearts, J.S.B. HAPPINESS

Oh! Someone is watching over you - Oh! They keep sending you cheers

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Don't forget, J.S.B. HAPPINESS

This moment, this scenery, only once

The joy we can share, let's become one

Passing through the rain of sadness, looking up at the rainbow of joy and happiness

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah! HAPPINESS is here! - HAPPINESS is near!

Oh! Sadness…

不撓不屈 I will promise you

ライバルは昨日の自分

捲土重来 Just keep on, keep trying

情熱の炎 静寂の平和を その胸に秘めてゆこう

Oh! 寂しさを知っているからこそ Oh! 喜び 幸せ感じられる
