[English]

High up at the end of the sky

So that I can reach it

Turn up the volume more

To get closer to you

You wanna dance

As a long time passes, when the day comes

That I hear this song

I'll smile, lost in memories

Our eternal

Radio in our memories

Amid the passing changes

Yeah, becoming an unbreakable

Gem that sparkles

Our passionate Radio

In the time that stops for just the two of us

Yeah, not fading away

Becoming a shining photograph

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Riding far on the wind

So it can flow

When the melody reaches you now

You wanna know

As a long time passes

When the day comes

That I hear this song

I'll smile, lost in memories

Our dreamlike

Radio in our memories

Amid the changing scenes

Yeah, becoming an unbreakable

Gem that sparkles

Radio in our hearts

Deep in the chest of just the two of us

Yeah, not fading away

Becoming a shining photograph

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Our eternal

Radio in our memories

Amid the passing changes

Yeah, becoming an unbreakable

Gem that sparkles

Our passionate Radio

In the time that stops for just the two of us

Yeah, not fading away

Becoming a shining photograph

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo wo
