[English]

This guy’s hopeless

Always pointing out what’s wrong

Always complaining

With a face of giving up

But you

But you alone

Never tried to run away

Didn’t back down

After all, you are

A truly funny guy

Laughed off

Those humiliating days

Because we are like that

Because we are like this

We’ll take on the world

And win it

Life is a big laugh

With tears counting up (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

And the sweat we shared (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

If only you beside me

Would just smile, that’s enough

Life is a big laugh

That guy shines so bright (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Even in lonely times (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

We’ll look down at our feet together

And laugh it all away

Life is a big laugh

Hey, your mistakes don’t wear me down

There’s something behind those words

Sometimes values flip inside out

I want to say there’s beauty in imperfection

There’s no forever, so try again

Each year it’s just walking—experience

It’s okay, who’s to blame anyway?

It’s all on me, you’re fine as you are

Bad drinks—first come the excuses

We drink it all down together

Talk it out until we click

Shoulder to shoulder, stepping into a new world

Heading toward the place, toward the sun

Say Hello! Say Fool!

Lonely, the color of the sunset

But there’s always tomorrow

Even so

The twists and turns keep coming

Then we go forward, against common sense and paradox

No shortcuts, full effort—let’s go!

Don’t leave anyone alone

Life is a big laugh

Counting tears (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Matching sweat (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

If only you beside me

Would just smile, that’s enough

Life is a big laugh

That guy shines so bright (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Even in lonely times (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

We’ll look down at our feet together

And laugh it all away

Life is a big laugh

A life where you expect nothing

Sometimes something good happens

Just grab an edge and flip it over

Right?

Tomorrow, you’ll forget it all

As if it was all just a dream

So now, yes just now

Who do you want to be with?

"Who else is there besides you?!"

Gobugobu! Gobugobu!

We’ve been Gobugobu all along!

Gobugobu! Gobugobu!

Always Gobugobu, never changing!

When it’s time to reveal

The results of how we’ve lived

No matter what, stand proud

Say it!

Results announced!

Life is a big laugh!!

Full of funny things (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Full of things we want to do (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Even if it’s different from the dreams we drew when we met, it’s fine

Life is a big laugh!!

Even if we mess up (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Change even the past (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Like when we met, just look up and shout, it’s okay

Life is a big laugh!!

Life is a big laugh!!

Life is a big laugh!!

Life is a big laugh!!

Life is a big laugh!!
