[Japanese]

[English]

Ooh, ooh

Summer's the one to blame

For making us feel we wanna go

Love is the one to blame

For showing us how far we can go

The season that breathes life into all things

Exhilarates, heart's dancing fast paced

Let's leave it all behind

Let's all get left behind

All summer long

Today the season will change

And a new one takes its place

I could tell from the sky

I just knew from the smell

Written on your face

Three seasons fall, winter, spring

You've been pushing through ahead

Hundred twenty percent

Kept on holding it in

Just wait for the chance

With every breath that you take

I just feel that it makes you so beautiful

There's no more time, relax unwind

First of its kind, never coming back

So vast and wide, I know it's here

Summer's the one to blame

For making us feel we wanna go

Love is the one to blame

For showing us how far we can go

This season won't last

Moves five times as fast

Over in what seems just like a blink

So why don't we just try

To stay here for all time or even more?

Few thousand years from now

We'll all be gone from this place

Not even a trace

Summer won't ever change

It'll be singing again

But here and now this is our time

No one else can take away

Doing all that we can

Trying to make it last

Patiently waiting

Filling this summer jar

With so many memories

That the lid will pop off

Daytime and night our gazing eyes

And perfect vibes are prepared but insecure

Mixed up in the air tonight

You are the one to blame

For making me sing this song of love

Love is the one to blame

For making me promise you my all

Even if a few dreams break into two

And disappear into the starry night

If it's just me and you

There's no way we can lose

I know it's true

Like the ice that's in the sun

The magic of summer can melt away quickly

So nonchalantly, suddenly you said to me

With a face exactly like a cool night breeze

Summer's the one to blame

For making us feel we wanna go

Love is the one to blame

For showing us how far we can go

This uncertainty and difficulty

Is what we are all holding onto

This season knows the way

For making us all shine

Summer's the one to blame

For making us feel we wanna go

Love is the one to blame

For showing us how far we can go

No scientist or any dreamer has solved

No renegade has even made the claim

The answer that we seek

Is right here in our hands

The season that breathes life into all things

Exhilarates, heart's dancing fast paced

'Til the very end of time

Let's leave it all behind

All summer long
