[English]

Go, Go B-R-O!! Eat, sleep, and play!

Go, Go K-Y-O-D-A-I!! (Brothers!)

Ready…Fight!

Xie-xie, danke schön, bonjour

Let’s live life however it comes, on the plains or in the mountains!

Applause, grazie, I want you

Same as ever again today, Hey hey hey hey!!

Hey, I wanna do it!

I wanna do this, I wanna do that

Because I’ve never done them before

Yeah, we’re crazy, we’re geniuses

We’ve got dreams, in fact, that’s all we’ve got!

(Huh?!)

Let’s do it, someday… it’s not impossible!

Oh baby, plans are TBD?!

…Well, can’t be helped, right!

Take three steps forward, take two steps back

Take the scenic route, that’s alright♡ (Fu～!)

“Hey, you said you’d wake me up, right?!”

“Hey, I told you to do it, didn't I?!”

“I told him…”

“I told him…”

“To him~”

“……! Leaving it to others…

We’re stuck in an infinite loop!”

“…Ah!” “…Ah!” “…Ah♪”

Happily ever after… and that’s a wrap♪

Brothers! (Hey!)

Sure, there’s laughter, but it’s a life without tears

Days like this (Fu Fu～!)

Days like that (Fu Fu～!)

If you close your eyes, it’s basically rainbow-colored (Hey!)

Rain or shine, we aren't alone, you know

Don't worry boys (Fu Fu～!)

Don't worry girls (Fu Fu～!)

Everybody & everybody

This is just fine!

Hey, wanna take a look? Wanna try touching it?

Wanna kiss those burning hot cheeks?

…Actually, time out! Still too scared!

Are you trying to stop my little heart?!

Don’t mind! Humanity is still in the middle of evolving

Today we’re still Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So♪

Darn it all! (Hey!) Tomorrow for sure! (He-hey!)

Alright, if we set our minds to it, we can do it!! (Yes! Yes!)

“When are you going to do it?”

“...Not right now♡”

And that’s a wrap♪

Brothers! (Hey!)

Getting knocked down is all part of having a good life

Saying “I love you” (Fu Fu～!)

And saying “I’m sorry” too (Fu Fu～!)

Once it’s in the past, it’s basically rainbow-colored (Hey!)

That’s right, life has a funny way of working out

What kind of day is it? (Fu Fu～!)

It’s been a crazy day! (Fu Fu～!)

The fact that we’re alive, it’s wonderful, isn’t it!

Because, even our hearts are free

If you don't like it, say no! Anything else is a yes!

Because, our hearts are obsessed

If it’s you, yes! (Yes!)

Yes to you too! (Yes!)

Happily ever after! And that’s a wrap♪

…From there,

Da-da-da-da-daa♪

The world is so beautiful again today

Yours,

Mine,

Ours

Colors like this, colors like that…

“…This is just fine!”

Brothers! (Hey!)

Sure, there’s laughter, but it’s a life without tears

Days like this (Fu Fu～!)

Days like that (Fu Fu～!)

If you close your eyes, it’s basically rainbow-colored (Hey!)

Rain or shine, we aren't alone, you know

Don't worry boys (Fu Fu～!)

Don't worry girls (Fu Fu～!)

Everybody & everybody

This is just fine!

Look at the sky, it’s all the same

Days like that,

And days like this

Modest, so modest… this is just fine!

“I’ll have seconds!”

Xie-xie, danke schön, bonjour

Let’s live life however it comes, on the plains or in the mountains!

Applause, grazie, I want you

Same as ever again today, Hey hey hey hey!!
