[English]

Is one shot not enough for you?

I want a second helping.

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

It’s worthless.

The boiling heat is so annoying.

The angels in thin clothes are noisy tonight.

Showing more skin isn’t helping anything.

The real festival starts from here.

Close enough to burn yourself.

Set off the star mine.

With a move that’s never been seen before.

Prepare, now launch it!

Is one shot not enough for you?

I want a second helping.

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

Kagiya Tamaya

Up, down, and understood.

But you know, sometimes...

Down, and damn it!

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

It’s worthless.

Step right up.

Take a look.

But everyone on the sidelines, pipe down already.

Wasshoi! Wasshoi!

Instead of making a fuss,

cherish this moment, okay?

With an unprecedented fire color reaction,

coloring not the past but only the future.

At a speed that takes your breath away,

launch the star mine!

With eye-catching brilliance,

Prepare, now launch it!

Is one shot not enough for you?

I want a second helping.

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

Kagiya Tamaya

Up, down, and understood.

But you know, sometimes...

Down, and damn it!

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

It’s worthless.

Illuminating the pitch-black sky,

spark the fire of life.

Blowing away sadness,

with maximum firepower,

Now, launch it!

Up, down, and understood.

But you know, sometimes...

Down, and damn it!

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

One more time!

Up, down, and understood!

But you know, sometimes...

Down, and damn it!

There’s no such thing as the third time’s the charm.

Don’t complain about this and that.

It’s worthless.

Life is about falling seven times and getting up eight.

Rapid developments.

[Japanese]

一発じゃ足りないのかい

二発目をおかわりしたい

三度目の正直なんて無い

四の五の言うなよ

ロクデモナイ

茹(う)だるような熱さが鬱陶しい

夜は薄着の天使が騒々しい

露出ばかり増えるんじゃ意味無いね

本当の意味での祭りはこれからさ

火傷するくらいの近距離で

仕込むスターマイン

類を見ないような手順で

スタンバイ さぁ打ち上げろ

一発じゃ足りないのかい

二発目をおかわりしたい

三度目の正直なんて無い

四の五の言うなよ

寄ってらっしゃい

見てらっしゃい

でも外野はさっさと黙らっしゃい

わっしょい わっしょい

騒ぎ立てるより

この瞬間大事にしない？

未曾有の炎色反応で

彩るのは過去じゃなく未来だけ

息を呑むくらいのスピードで

鳴らすスターマイン

釘付けになるド派手さで

スタンバイ さぁ打ち上げろ

一発じゃ足りないのかい

二発目をおかわりしたい

三度目の正直なんて無い
