[English]

When you open the door, it's like a time machine!

A rewind of a dreamy disco night

Looking for you

A mysterious party

Dance all night, love's monster

The mirror ball spins on the dance floor

Costume parade, someone’s trick or treat

I'm all alone

Lost and confused

In the whirl of the rhythm, what should I do?

Halloween night!

Midnight boogie night!

The pumpkin's calling

Come on, clap your hands! Shake your hips!

Tonight, everyone can be foolish!

Halloween night!

Come on, dance!

No words needed

Let's forget the bad stuff!

Once-a-year carnival

Just for today, the ghosts are free

Halloween night!

Becoming what you wanna be—fantasy world!

Make your wishes come true! Magic for just one night

What really matters is

Your childhood self

Reborn simply by following instinct

Halloween night!

Cheek time! Fall in love!

Before the music changes...

Come on, take another step

If you want to meet, stand out!

Halloween night!

Come on, dance!

A flood of people

Yeah, go with the flow more than reason!

In a corner of this world

Loving makeup and costumes

Special night!

Are you ready?

Ready?

Ready?

Happy!

Happy!

Halloween night!

As dawn breaks

The ones sharing a kiss are

Just the two of us

Love always has a strong gravity

H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N

H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N

H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N

Trick or treat

Halloween night!

Midnight boogie night!

The pumpkin's calling

Come on, clap your hands! Shake your hips!

Tonight, everyone can be foolish!

Halloween night!

Come on, dance!

No words needed

Let's forget the bad stuff!

Once-a-year carnival

Just for today, the ghosts are free

Halloween night!

Trick or treat!
