[English]

The curtain is waiting for me, see, open it up

Can't wait for the plan, I need to go now

No need for directions yet, honey

Kickstart with motivation, we’re all set, just like an expert

Burst out, my passion is flying free

Motivation isn’t about being over the top, just enough to ignite

It feels like a dream, floating softly in the clouds

That fluffy feeling turns exciting and thrilling

I have to go beyond just imagining

I don’t understand the meaning of living

Oh, let’s go! Keep going, you can do it!

There’s still more in you, so let’s keep moving forward

Pumped up and alive, because it’s only once

So, let’s go! Keep going just as you are!

Be free, aiming high together

Just by giving me your strength, I feel so fired up

Even crazy dreams are genuine and true

Wow, oh, wow, oh

Wow, oh-oh, wow, oh

Wow, oh, wow, oh-oh

Get out of my way, go somewhere else, go away

Crying isn’t very stylish, you know

Drop to your knees and just go somewhere else

It’s pretty much a roller coaster, full of nerve-wracking moments

Feeling nervous with friends, it’s dangerous and exciting

Facing a future we can’t even imagine

Let’s meet it with a full swing!

Let’s go! Keep going, you can do it!

There’s still more in you, so let’s win this thing

Cast away your doubts, it’s not a big deal

Living boldly, that’s the sign of a fast-paced victory

So, let’s go! Keep going just as you are!

Being free! Aiming for the top

Your voice reaches me and makes me feel so passionate

Unexpected outcomes happen, it’s a true upset

That’s right, that’s right, this is what hope feels like

Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!

You said it, right? This is a promise

Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!

The joy of becoming one, shaking, shaking, and running wild

Just combining our feelings, draw a big arch!

Let's go! Keep going, you can do it!

Don’t give up, just keep going

Living boldly is the sign of a swift victory

So, let’s go! Keep going just as you are!

Being free! Aiming for the top

Your voice reaches me and makes me feel so passionate

Let's go! Keep going, you can do it! (Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!)

There’s still more in you, so let’s keep moving forward (Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!)

Pump yourself up and live boldly, because this is your only shot

So, let’s go! Keep going just as you are! (Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!)

Be free! Aiming for the top (Yes! Yes! Yes! We are the one!)

Just feeling the power of your support makes me so passionate

Even crazy dreams are genuine, and true

Wow, oh, wow, oh

Wow, oh-oh, wow, oh

Wow, oh, wow, oh-oh

僕を待ってる幕 ほら開け幕
