[English]

Let's go!

La la la la la la la la la la la

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

It's new!

The panda-like vibe is pretty cute too, right? (Right?)

Isn't it kind of the era where we want clear black and white?

Being treated like a princess is nice too, right? (Of course it's nice!)

I want to stay in pajamas for a while after waking up, but I guess I can't?

I'm sure I'm not the type for that.

A crazy tempting invitation that makes you want to reply with a stamp.

Deciding by voting—that's...

Totally not cute at all, right?

I think it's okay to stay as I am.

Love, future, snacks, makeup, friends, smiles, sleep—look, they're all important, right?

So, shall we update ourselves?

The person I love looked so New Kawaii.

I hope, even if just a little, it's because of me.

Unshakable, love can be found.

It's such a delightful novelty that makes me so happy.

On a date that's been updated, so to speak.

Oh oh oh oh oh, everyone join in.

A new world, a new world—say these words.

Let's share what's important.

Come on, let's say what's cute, too?

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

Is it new?

Or maybe a mood that's in between is good too, right? (Right?)

It's okay if it's not clearly black or white, right?

It's fine if the prince isn't decided yet, right? (Of course, right?)

It's okay if I become the king—I’ll do my best.

No way, that's impossible.

A great world that makes you want to break your stance.

Deciding by majority rule—that's...

Totally not cute at all, right?

It's okay for me to be in the minority, though.

Love, another love, yet another love, and love outside of love—see, they're all important.

Hey, shall we update ourselves?

The person I love looked so New Kawaii.

I hope, even if just a little, it can brighten my tomorrow.

Unshakable, love can be found.

This feeling—only the future matters (I like it!)

The person I love looked so New Kawaii.

I hope, even if just a little, it's because of me.

Not decided by others—it's just how I want to spend my time.

On a date that's been updated, so to speak.

Oh oh oh oh oh, free participation.

A new world, a new world—say these words.

Let's praise each other for the important people in our lives.

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

Wow wow wow wow wow wow

People say that's cute, and this is cute, but

I think even people who fall asleep during important work are New Kawaii!

Eh, is that so?

No, but still, I really do like it, you know.

The person I love looked so New Kawaii.

I hope even just a little, it can brighten tomorrow.

Unshakable, love can be found.

Only future—this feeling (I love it!)

The person I love looked so New Kawaii.

I hope, even if just a little, it's because of me.

Unshakable, love can be found.

It's such a delightful freshness that makes me so happy.

On a date that's been updated, so to speak.

Oh oh oh oh oh, everyone join in.

A new world, a new world—say these words.

Let's share what's important.

Come on, let's say what's cute, too?

Wow wow wow wow wow wow
