[English]

Even yesterday was no good, bad day

Overthinking, that was the day before yesterday

Let’s leave it all behind, everything

Now, shall we peek into the next stage?

Crossing the rainbow all the way through

Dance in the sky with the birds! Dance! Dance! Dance!

Let’s create the impossible

In the future, I’m waiting for you right in your hands

Let’s go beyond the imagination

Get in position, stand on the starting line now

To a future never seen before, Join us!

Getting super close—an uncharted world for all humankind

Super fast adventure—no more stopping now

Rapidly approaching the long-awaited future

Leading the way, Go My Way! Down the unknown path

Hyper Express, with you, Hyper Express

Hyper Express, Groovin’ Groovin’

Getting closer and closer to the world of adventure

To the pinnacle of the cutting edge, with you, I can get there

Sometimes I feel scared of everything

Even if there are days like that

I want you to never forget

That I’m always by your side

Getting closer and closer—the uncharted world for all humankind

Super fast adventure—no more stopping now

Rapidly approaching the long-awaited future

Leading the way, Go My Way! Down the unknown path

Hyper Express, with you, Hyper Express

Hyper Express, Groovin’ Groovin’

Getting closer and closer to the world of adventure

To the pinnacle of the cutting edge, with you, I can get there

Now, what kind of day will we make today?
