[English]

Now, let's set it free

Beyond the days ahead

Crying and laughing, just as you are

Love every version of yourself

In other words, love is all, right?

A world born from our connected hands

Light shines through the Earth

Staring at the shadows, once again alone

In a vague heart, surely everyone

Is searching for love

Riding on this sound

Let's dance, let's draw, as much as we like

Using the universe as our canvas

Here, no more

Fights or disses

Riding on this sound

Let's sing, let's celebrate each other

Looking into each other's eyes, sharing everything

More and more, together

Let's celebrate loudly, let's go together

Now, let's set it free

With you, it's a victory, right?

Well, it's not like we're fighting for something

Love every version of myself

In this fleeting life

Let's play together from corner to corner

In the darkness spreading across the Earth

The moonlight, look, is smiling at us

The heart that I embraced, surely everyone

Has love within

Riding on this sound

Let's dance, let's enjoy

Savoring the present to the fullest

Here, no more

Doubts or sarcasm

Riding on this sound

Let's sing, let's celebrate each other

Looking into each other's eyes, sharing everything

More and more, together

Let's celebrate loudly, let's go together

Riding on this sound

Now, let's ride together

Let's dance, let's draw, as much as we like

Using the universe as our canvas

Here, no more

Fights or disses

Riding on this sound

Let's sing, let's celebrate each other

Looking into each other's eyes, sharing everything

More and more, together

Let's celebrate loudly, let's go together

[Japanese]

さぁ 今解き放とう

日々の向こうの向こう

泣いて笑って ほら ありのままで

Love every version of yourself

つまりはLove is allでしょ？

繋いだ手と手から生まれるworld

光が差し込む地球の中

影見つめて また 1人きりで

有耶無耶な心 きっと誰も

愛を探している

この音に乗せて

踊ろう 描こう 好きなだけ

宇宙をキャンバスにして

ここではもう no more

争いもdisも

この音に乗せて

歌おう たたえ合おう

目と目合わせ全て分け合って

お互いを more and more

高らかに祝おう 共に行こう

さぁ 今解き放とう

君となら優勝でしょ！

まぁ 何かと戦うわけじゃないけど

Love every version of myself

泡沫の人生を

隅から隅まで一緒に遊ぼう

暗闇広がる地球の中

月明かりが ほら 笑いかけて

抱きしめた心 きっと誰も

愛を持っている

この音に乗せて

踊ろう 楽しもう

今を丸ごと味わい尽くして

ここではもう no more

疑いも嫌味も

この音に乗せて

歌おう たたえ合おう

目と目合わせ全て分け合って

お互いを more and more

高らかに祝おう 共に行こう

この音に乗せて

今 僕ら乗せて

踊ろう 描こう 好きなだけ

宇宙をキャンバスにして

ここではもう no more

争いもdisも

この音に乗せて

歌おう たたえ合おう

目と目合わせ全て分け合って

お互いを more and more

高らかに祝おう 共に行こう
