[English]

Shout out loud, air air, grasp them with both hands, bloom proudly, beautiful person

Keep the same pace, Invisible Sensation

With bold moves, face to face

Rise up, bow, and stand again. I can barely do it properly

There's a gloomy mood of enthusiasm, vitality, and dullness

But through sincere, steady effort, finally there's a breakthrough!

It felt like eternity was drawing near

In a world that can change in minutes, anyone has a chance, right?

But from here, fate gets disrupted

A ruthless system where seeds are taken one by one from those who step in

Hey, even if from here you aim far away, what exactly will you find?

Just thinking about it already makes it all a dream, going off course

Don’t miss this moment, scope it out

So, air air, grasp them with both hands, bloom proudly, beautiful person

Keep the same pace, Invisible Sensation

With bold moves, face to face

What’s that? The alarm’s ringing nonstop, being out of place, not noticing the respect

My overzealous ego, acting overconfident, gets on my nerves, makes me irritable

Easy-going thoughts are dangerous; the inability to even imagine is truly bad

Only those who are chosen can stand on this stage! Give me something flashy

It's unthinkable to turn back, so I’ll keep testing

This is the result of steady, quiet effort—see, how strong!

Even if pointed at as plain?

If wishing hard enough makes it come true, then there’s no such thing as hardship in the dictionary

Effort alone can't secure the future. Rely on the hope right in front of you and pick it up

If it’s useful, take a step forward

Follow your crying heart, live your own way, beautiful person

Even if stuck, maybe it’s an Invisible Sensation

Maybe it’s only lying there, just like that

So, air air, grasp them with both hands, bloom proudly, beautiful person

Keep the same pace, Invisible Sensation

With bold moves, face to face

Because the cruel clock that doesn’t vanish still points to the truth

It may seem harsh, but that’s how it is

But someday, life is well-made enough to be proud of

So, I want you to live!

Shout out loud, air air, grasp them with both hands, bloom proudly, beautiful person

Keep the same pace, Invisible Sensation

That spirit! Give me something overwhelming

So, air air, grasp them with both hands, bloom proudly, beautiful person

Keep the same pace, Invisible Sensation

With bold moves, face to face

Pretending to be united, take the way

...

[Japanese]

高らかに 空気空気 両手に掴んで 咲き誇れ美しい人よ

そのままペースアップして、Invisible Sensation

大胆なモーションに終始して face to face

起立、礼、そして起立 さえろくにできなくて

意気覇気生気消沈なムードです

だけど誠心粛々誠意の反復で やっと目覚ましい！

永遠が近づいた気がした

数分で変わる世界なら 誰にだってチャンスはあるだろうね

でもここから運命論は乱されて

踏み入れたやつから順々にシードを取る冷徹な仕組み

ねえここから 遠く遠く目指すとして 一体何が見つかるかなんて

考えてる時点でもう夢中心 コースアウト

見逃すなよ この瞬間をscope しろ

だから 空気空気 両手に掴んで 咲き誇れ美しい人よ

そのままペースアップして、Invisible Sensation

大胆なモーションに終始して face to face

何だ？警鐘が鳴りやまない 場違いが敬称に気が付けない

出しゃばってヘラついたその自意識が 気になっちゃう いらついちゃう

安易な想起がタチ悪い 想像もできないのがげに悪い

このステージに立てるのは選ばれし 相応だ！派手なやつをくれ

振り返るのは性分じゃないなんて とんでもないので検証を続けます

これが喧々粛々囂々の成果だね ほらたくましい！

地味だって指さされても

願えばきっと叶うなら 苦労なんて辞書にはないだろうね

努力だけじゃ未来は保てない 目の前の希望を頼って拾って

重宝したら一歩先へ

叫びだすheart heart に従って 我を行け美しい人よ

つっかえてももしかして Invisible Sensation

そこにしか そう 転がっていないかもね

だから 空気空気 両手に掴んで 咲き誇れ美しい人よ

そのままペースアップして、Invisible Sensation

大胆なモーションに終始して

どうしても消えないままの 残酷時計は

真実を指してるから 厳しくも見えるだろう

だけどいつか 誇れるくらいには 人生はよくできてる

だから、生きてほしい！

高らかに 空気空気 両手に掴んで 咲き誇れ美しい人よ

そのままペースアップして、Invisible Sensation

その意気だ 圧倒的すぎるやつをくれ

だから 空気空気 両手に掴んで 咲き誇れ美しい人よ

そのままペースアップして、Invisible Sensation

大胆なモーションに終始して

一心同時代なんて気取っちゃって take the way
