...

I'm always causing trouble, I know

I always end up causing you so much trouble

Still, you stay right here with me

Always by your side

♪

A vague words like

Don’t reach someone like you who’s serious

I want to peek into your tough heart

I want to see it melt

Maybe I can cast a spell on it

How about this magic now?

Wonder what will come out?

Go for it!

Ready, set!

Try Try Try

Even if it’s uncertain

That’s okay! That’s okay!

Which one to pick?

Watch me do magic

Wow, way beyond my imagination

I can’t stop this now

Sorry about that

My overflowing feelings just spin around

Sprinkling happy images

And wielding fancy magic

Again, I’ll be told by you

Even if I keep rambling on, see

I like this day by day

Ever since that day

Falling in love with you

Because it stays the same

Always only you

So, you see

There’s no time to dawdle anymore

Grab that happy ending

Always and forever

I want to keep laughing by your side

♪

Always feeling like I’m left out

Living every day all alone

But then you appeared in front of me

Carrying the same loneliness

Such a gentle person

Though I still worry now

We’re not alone anymore

These noisy, beloved days

Hope they last forever

Three, two, one!

ずっと続きますように

Three, two, one!

Fly away with happy images

With the most spectacular magic

Again, I’ll be told by you

Even if it’s just rambling

That’s fine, this day by day

Since that day

Falling in love with you

I want you to realize

Loving you

That’s why

There’s no time to dawdle anymore

What’s the next plan?

And today’s new happenings

What kind of strange things will occur tomorrow?

Please keep watching by my side
