[English]

Time stops, I can see you blink

Focusing on the future, impressions, continuous, above the heavens

Shaking light, a world that twinkles

Little by little, little by little

The story accelerates, story, story

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

In a dream that won't wake (maybe so, maybe so, maybe)

Goodbye tonight, starry (maybe so, maybe so, maybe so, maybe so)

Look, I'm flying, are you ready?

...

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

Maybe so, infinite future

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

Look, I'm flying, are you ready?

...

In this wonderland for the first time, each flower blooms

Riding on the magical sound that caresses the earth

Dazzling light, getting my body used to it

Little by little, little by little

The story accelerates, story, story

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

In a dream that won't wake (maybe so, maybe so, maybe)

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

Goodbye tonight, starry (maybe so, maybe so, maybe)

Starry, story (maybe so, maybe so, maybe)

Story (maybe so, maybe so, maybe)

Goodbye tonight, starry (maybe so, maybe so, maybe so, maybe so)

Look, I'm flying, are you ready?

...

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

Maybe so, infinite future

Maybe so, maybe so, maybe

Look, I'm flying, are you ready?

...
