[English]

Feelings are just like an adventurer

Setting off to change our destiny

Diving into a future that spirals around

Raise the sails in the rough waves, an unknown wind blows

A journey that begins again and never ends

You are surely waiting

Jumping over to the Classic

Let's sound it together, We make it

My heart races, I can't stop the excitement

Classic forever, resonating Magic

Shouting out to the world, Be alright!

Music of the new era, a symphony of collaboration

The highest level of Happy, let's deliver it

Music of the new era, a symphony of collaboration

Surprising the world, Be alright!

The adventure continues

Every day surpasses imagination

If yesterday clings to me

I'll leave it behind and move forward with you

Reasoning gets tangled, reality entangles

“Just move forward as you idealize”

I can hear your voice from that time

Surely it won't change, just like this

An unshakable Classic

Let's sound it here, We make it

I want to play a colorful, thrilling tune

Classic, this feeling rises so much

If it overlaps with the world, Be alright!

Raise the sails in the rough waves, an unknown wind blows

A journey that begins again and never ends

You are surely waiting

Jumping over to the Classic

Let's sound it together, We make it

My heart races, I can't stop the excitement

Classic forever, resonating Magic

Shouting out to the world, Be alright!

Music of the new era, a symphony of collaboration

The highest level of Happy, let's deliver it

Music of the new era, a symphony of collaboration

Surprising the world, Be alright!

Shouting out to the world, Be alright!
