[English]

The cheers calling my name

Give me a push from behind, let’s go!

Tick tick tick tick tick drop beat - Click click click click click music

Hey, listen up

A show window on the street corner - reflecting my silhouette

Our eyes meet, overlapping - (I’m being drawn in)

I’ve shed my “hesitation” - and embraced “confidence”

A “New Core” no one has ever seen

(With my head held high)

Didn’t we promise? - A “shining future”

This is WHO I AM - (Stepping forward on My way)

Do what I want to Do it - (I want to be “me”)

I’ve found my Dream - another side of myself

(In your eyes)

I’m being pulled in

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

Let’s hold hands, let’s go

This is ME, This is I, I!

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

The future

Shines on us now - This is ME, This is I, I!

I’ll wear what I want to wear (Oh yeah)

I’ll let my hair flow (My hair)

Wherever I am - walking proudly is a Red carpet

It’s not a coincidence

A destined encounter

Reflected in your eyes - (“I” believe in “I”)

It’s meaningless alone - I want to see it with you

Come beyond my dreams

(Our dreams come true)

Aren’t you excited? - An unknown world

This is WHO I AM - (Stepping forward on My way)

Do what I want to Do it - (I want to be “me”)

It’s not anyone else, but “myself” who makes dreams come true

(Your dreams)

Are my dreams

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

Let’s hold hands, let’s go

This is ME, This is I, I!

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

The future

Shines on us now - This is ME, This is I, I!

This is ME, This is I, I!

An endless story - it’s just begun

Let’s turn a new page

Until I make the path I chose the right one

Don’t look back, yeah yeah

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

Let’s hold hands, let’s go

This is ME, This is I, I!

You & ME, One & Only

You & ME, One & Only, Yeah

The future

Shines on us now - This is ME, This is I, I!
