[English]

Like fleeting bubbles of soda water, I blink and my heart ignites

The winter constellation signals, if anyone noticed then

Catching my breath, let’s gather at that place

Under countless stars

Let’s count the favorite moments from this year and laugh together

With irreplaceable friends

If we’re looking up at the same sky

JUST SAY YEAH!

Let’s go before Orion sinks

JUST SAY YEAH!

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

If we share our heartbeats

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

We can even fly beyond the galaxy!

The season when the bells ring, painting everything white

Candy-colored streets, decorated with the night sky, I see the stars shining bright

I raise my hand and see the sparkling sky

In this silence, only our footsteps echo and repeat

No matter how many years pass, it won’t change; our bond remains unshakable

Because the bond is in our hearts

If we’re looking up at the same sky

JUST SAY YEAH!

Let’s go before Orion sinks

JUST SAY YEAH!

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

If we share our heartbeats

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

We can even fly beyond the galaxy!

Words cannot describe these feelings… A ‘MYSTICAL COSMIC WONDER’

ONE TRIBE, together forever...

If we're looking up at the same sky

JUST SAY YEAH!

Let’s go before Orion sinks

JUST SAY YEAH!

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

If we share our heartbeats

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

We can even fly beyond the galaxy!

[Japanese]

ソーダ水の泡のような瞬（まばた）きが 空焦がした

冬の大三角形がシグナル もし誰か見つけたら

白い息切らして 集まろうあの場所へ

数多（あまた）の星の下で

今年あった好きな事を カウントして笑い合おう

かけがえない仲間と共に

同じ空を見上げているのなら

JUST SAY YEAH!

オリオンが沈む前に出かけよう

JUST SAY YEAH!

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

胸の鼓動を分け合えば

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

銀河も飛び越えられる！

ベルの音（ね）響く季節は 白く染めた キャンディみたいな街並みが

ふちどった夜空 I SEE THE STARS SHINE 手で仰（あお）いだ

この静寂の中 僕らの足音だけ

響いては繰り返してく

何年経っても変わらない この先も揺るがない

絆が胸（ここ）にあるから

同じ空を見上げているのなら

JUST SAY YEAH!

オリオンが沈む前に出かけよう

JUST SAY YEAH!

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

胸の鼓動を分け合えば

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

銀河も飛び越えられる！
