Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

燃え盛る鼓動　聞け

Listen to the raging heartbeat

書に落ちる波　解き明かせ

Decode the crashing waves on the scroll

次のレベルへ　初心忘るべからず（その通り）

To the next level, never forget your初心 (beginner's mind) — that's right

慎ましさが日本の心

maturity reflects the spirit of Japan

真実の忍び　まぎれもなく

A true ninja, undeniably

魂は止まらない　受け継いでいく

Souls won't stop, carrying on the tradition

夢掴むために戦う姿映す

Fighting to grasp your dreams reflected in your stance

的を射抜く　最後まで止まることなく

Staying steady and precise, never stopping until the end

裏切りは全て終わり　力の限り駆け抜ける

All betrayals are over, running with all our might

静かに忍び寄る　絆は固く結ばれている

Quietly sneaking up, bonds are tightly sealed

天下統一　この手の中に

Unify the world, right in our hands

頂上に辿り着くために戦い抜く

Fighting through to reach the top

1・2・3・4

One, two, three, four

Hearts layered together, like a ninja, darting swiftly, hitting every mark

諦めない　策を練り　起こす維新

Never giving up, devising strategies, sparking a new dawn

サクラがそよげば　静かな嵐　起こす連鎖反応

When cherry blossoms sway, a calm storm stirs—a chain reaction

忍びがたきを偲び　瞬きすらせずつかみ取る

Remembering the unseen, gripping tight without blinking

始める世直し　痛みと引き換えに感じる命

Starting the nation’s repair, feeling life in exchange for pain

名乗りを上げろ　疾風(はやて)の如く風を切る　問答無用

Raise your voice, cut through like a gale—no questions asked

闇に潜んでその時を待つ　

Lurking in the darkness, waiting for the moment

言霊が時代を作る　新たな時代な幕開け

Word spirits shape the era, heralding a new age
