[English]

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious

Living in the moment with you! Thank you! & Special Precious

I wonder where that person is now, the one who ran through life at full speed

Whether it's a tailwind or a headwind, I want to learn to ride them freely

So special and so precious; used to feeling joy

So special and so precious; used to being praised

So special and so precious; let's keep adding more successes to your pocket

So special and so precious; the meaning of experience

So special and so precious; you're the one who decides it

Whether it's right or wrong, just tell yourself "it was for the best" later on

Can't you in my head? Whenever I think of the people I love

Thank you so much, I feel like my feelings are overflowing beyond words

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; somehow or another, moving forward every day

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; charging toward the tomorrow where you wait

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; I feel safe because you and everyone else are here

Not in the past or the future, but living in the now with you! Thank you! & Special Precious

I'm a, You are, We are, They're—friends

Our bond and affection, it's just like home

Brother, Sister, Mother, Father—friends

Gathering together, our unity is just like home

I'm a, You are, We are, They're—friends

Our bond and affection, it's just like home

Brother, Sister, Mother, Father—friends

Gathering together, it's just like home

I've found many reasons to keep trying, as many as there are thanks (Precious)

I found happiness lying at my feet when I least expected it (Special)

I realized that I can do my best because someone is there for me (Precious)

The people you want to tell "I'm so happy" to when you're happy—those are your friends (Special)

Even if you can't say "I'm sad" when you're hurting, they are still your friends (Precious)

Failures and regrets can become positive experiences depending on how you view them (Special)

Turn even rough seas and headwinds into fuel and just keep going (Precious)

No matter the distance, no matter how much time passes, always precious, special, and thankful

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious

Can't you in my head? Whenever I think of the people I love

Thank you so much, I feel like my feelings are overflowing beyond words

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; somehow or another, moving forward every day

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; charging toward the tomorrow where you wait

Thank you! Thank you! & Special Precious; I feel safe because you and everyone else are here

Not in the past or the future, but living in the now with you! Thank you! & Special Precious

Every time, Everywhere, we are right there in your heart, aren't we?

Every time, Everywhere, please remember us, over and over

Every time, Everywhere, we are right there in your heart, aren't we?

Every time, Everywhere, please remember us, over and over

I hope the joy we shared together

Can become the courage for you to take that next step
