[English]

Alright, listen up!

Here we go! "Alright"

Alright, listen up!

Here we go! "Alright"

Here we go! "Alright"

Alright, listen up!

A fresh impression novice

Rolling from the stars

Sprinkling kindness all around

Reaching out your hand

A fresh impression novice

Rolling from the stars

Dancing through a happy story

Spreading your wings

Your eyes are seeking help

Everyone's hungry, regardless of who they are

Dark circles under the eyes

Wrinkled mask

Tattered suit

Rules we wear

Ay, ay, affirming justice

With nonsense in our lives

Breaking through billboards

Just go ahead and fly

Because that's the real good (good)

If you play it safe, boom! (Boom!)

Give me your, give me your

Kekke-kaa-rai!

Whoa!

Our hero in confusion

We can’t stop now, keep going, keep going

Holding struggles in your hand, what will you grasp?

Ge-ge-ge-get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

Fairy tales, our hero

We can’t stop now, keep on, keep on

Wishing for a day that’s fitting too

Moonlit night stroll

We’ve already given up

Sketching tomorrow’s trembling

We’ve already gained it

Walking through trembling tomorrows

I know it’s too late now

Passing by everything around

Becoming what I wanna be

Everyone’s moving forward

Turning into who I can’t become

On my way back home

Falling and collapsing

Toward my potential

Though I forgot it

Now I remember

Before pain hits my body

Fleeing from the guy running away

The nerd leaving first

Even though I offered it

What is freedom now?

Staying the same as my past self

Ay, ay, affirming justice

With nonsense in our lives

Breaking through billboards

Just go ahead and fly

Because that’s the true good (good)

If you hold back, boom! (Boom!)

Give me your, give me your

Kekke-kaa-rai!

Whoa!

Our hero in confusion

We can’t stop now, keep going, keep going

Holding struggles in your hand, what will you grasp?

Ge-ge-ge-get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

Fairy tales, our hero

We can’t stop now, keep on, keep on

Wishing for a fitting day

Moonlit night stroll

Get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

Get, get this! "Alright"

Get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

Get, get this! "Alright"

Kekke-kaa-rai!

Get, get this! "Alright"

好印象なノービス

から転がるスターに

ばらまいた優しさの外に

手を伸ばして

好印象なノービス

から転がるスターに

めでたしなストーリー踊り

羽伸ばして

君の瞳が助け求めてる

誰これ構わず皆が飢えてる

目の下のクマ

シワのあるマスク

ヨレてるスーツ

身に纏うルール

Ay, ay 正義の肯定

ナンセンスな命で

看板突き破って

飛んじゃってええで

それでこそ good (good)

後手に回れば boom! (Boom!)

Give me your, give me your

けっけっかおーらい！

「おっと！」

迷える俺たちのヒーロー

もう止まれない keep off, keep off

苦労をその手に何を握ろう

Ge-ge-ge-get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

御伽話俺たちのヒーロー

もう止まれない keep on, keep on

身の程にも合うその日を願うから今

月 月下往来

僕らはもう諦めたの

軋む明日を絵に描いて

僕らはもう身につけたの

軋む明日をただ歩いて

もう遅いのは分かってる

まわりを通っていく

成りたいもんに成っている

みんなが通っていく

成れないもんに成っていく

僕の帰り道に

転がって突っ伏している

僕の可能性へ

忘れてきたのに

思い出した

体に痛みが来る前に

逃げだして来る彼に

我先に立ち去るナードに

差し上げたのに

今の自由とは何？

過去の自分の"まま"に

Ay, ay 正義の肯定

ナンセンスな命で

看板突き破って

飛んじゃってええで

それでこそ good (good)

後手に回れば boom! (Boom!)

Give me your, give me your

けっけっかおーらい！

「おっと！」

迷える俺たちのヒーロー

もう止まれない keep off, keep off

苦労をその手に何を握ろう

Ge-ge-ge-get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

もう止まれない keep on, keep on

身の程にも合うその日を願うから今

Get, get this! "Alright"

Get, get this! "Alright"

Get this! "Alright"

Get, get this! "Alright"
