Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

始まる（Yeah!）未来に（Yeah!）

The beginning (Yeah!) of the future (Yeah!)

胸ときめいて止められないよ

My heart races and I can't stop it

Can’t Stop Heart Beat！

Can’t Stop Heart Beat!

呼んでいるって気づいてくれたかな？

Did you notice that I'm calling out to you?

ここにいるって届けたかったんだよ、ずっと

I just wanted to let you know I’m here, always

どんなストーリー想像しても

No matter what kind of story you imagine

みんなと一緒の景色が

The view I share with everyone

いつでも浮かんで来ちゃうんだね

Always coming to mind, you know

笑顔に（Yeah!）なるんだ（Yeah!）

It makes me smile (Yeah!) (Yeah!)

集まっちゃえば楽しいんだって知ってるから

Because I know that when we’re together, it’s fun

思い描いた通りに夢を描いていきたいなら

If you want to draw your dreams just as you imagine

自分を信じて思い切って

Believe in yourself and be brave

飛び込んじゃうしかないよね

You gotta just dive right in

声が開く世界にいろんな出会いが待ってたの

In a world where your voice opens up, many new encounters await

知らなかった私に逢った

I met the new me I didn't know before

もう嬉しくって！嬉しくって！！嬉しくって！！！

I’m so happy! So happy!! So happy!!!

弾けそう♪　My Voice for YOU！

I feel like bursting out♪ My Voice for YOU!

絶対にいるって、信じていたから

Because I believed you’re definitely out there

どこにいたって探し出せちゃうんだ、きっと

No matter where you are, I can find you, for sure

どんなメロディー飛び乗っても

Whatever melody I ride on

風はいつも運んでくれるの

The wind always carries it for me

ココロを乗せたメッセージ!!

Messages carried on my heart!!

笑顔に（Yeah!）しちゃうよ（Yeah!）

It’ll make everyone smile (Yeah!) (Yeah!)

どの瞬間もスペシャルにしよう

Let’s make every moment special

Yes, All for YOU！

Yes, All for YOU!
