[English]

The new era is this future

If we change everything in the world, if we change everything in the world

...

Erase the unwanted things and nuisances

Let's transform this world

Music, the magic you trigger

Close your eyes, and the future opens up

As if the end will never come, as if it goes on forever

I'll sing this song

Do you wanna play? A real game, on the edge

Melodies like tightropes, I won't accept, I can't go back, I want to forget

Let me stay in my dreams, I wanna be free

I can see it, the new era, beyond the world

Here we go, new world

The new era is this future

If we change everything in the world, if we change everything in the world

So that the endless music reaches more people

I don't dream anymore, because you said, 'Trust me'

...

Erase what’s unnecessary

Let's transcend reality and make it colorful

Music, it’s starting now, rising

Close your eyes, let's all run away

I'll show you something better than now

If you sing this song

Do you wanna play? A real game, on the edge

Fate like a tightrope, I won't accept, I can't go back, I want to forget

Let me stay in my dreams, I wanna be free

I can see it, the new era, beyond the world

Here we go, new world

I want to believe in this future

If we change everything in the world, if we change everything in the world

So that the endless music reaches more people

I'll make you dream, I'll make you dream—the new era

...

It's the new era

...

[Japanese]

新時代はこの未来だ

世界中全部 変えてしまえば 変えてしまえば

ジャマモノ やなもの なんて消して

この世とメタモルフォーゼしようぜ

ミュージック キミが起こす マジック

目を閉じれば未来が開いて

いつまでも終わりが来ないようにって

この歌を歌うよ

Do you wanna play? リアルゲーム ギリギリ

綱渡りみたいな旋律 認めない戻れない忘れたい

夢の中に居させて I wanna be free

見えるよ新時代が 世界の向こうへ

さあ行くよ new world

新時代はこの未来だ

ミュージック 今始まる ライジング

目をつぶりみんなで逃げようよ

今よりイイモノを見せてあげるよ
