[English]

The champ is taking over

Take your heart that's been shut so tight

The thing that's more important than status and fame

Let's GOAT

We talk like this and that while we're working

SHAMI BEN BEN BEN

Wanna do bigger things

My life overflows with your smiles

We Make Bonsai

Three geniuses

Wanderers, not idols

No No　The bad boys carrying the world

Get on the ride To Be In The World (With you)

Ah　Sunset glow Bon Dance

A hundred million people dancing

Leaving words that will bloom in the near future

Inexperienced　"Iyer-Sa-Sa"

Sing PIKA PIKA☆

Samurai Banners

The love is bright

My face print on a Uchiwa

A shrine looking up and on fire

Touch the sky

Round up the enemies

Hug your passions

A new church

Legacies left

The bonsai that has been raised sells　No Tax

Even this song

You're the one who decides its value

No time to hesitate　Goes On

Make a flower bloom

BON

Make a flower bloom

BON

Just have fun, no pressure

Number_i is extremely hot

Even this moment　Bon Bon Bon Bon

Number_i is a standard-defying bonsai

Give me the wings to fly

Coast to coast

Street breeze that leads the scene

You are like a wire

Are you listening? Huh?

From The jurassic period to the Reiwa era

TV shows and radio shows to the dome concert

All the annoying ones are saying this and that　They're endless

Bring them all together with love

Watering dead leaves

Freeze the haters

Peace grew from the roots

Ah　Sunset glow Bon Dance

A hundred million people dancing

Leaving words that will bloom in the near future

Ah　Chasing at a breakneck speed

The weathercock is spinning

Internet is so easy

Donkey-lick　I'm KC

Rapid growth from the first small pot

Like it's swelling out

Not here

Not there

Even if I were reborn

People give reviews and I'll get on the stage

A new church

Legacies left

The bonsai that has been raised sells　No Tax

Even this song

You're the one who decides its value

No time to hesitate　Goes On

Make a flower bloom

BON

Make a flower bloom

BON

West Side To The East Side

You're Bonsai

I'm a Bonsai

North Side To The South Side

You're Bonsai

We're Bonsai
