[English]

You're a star, shining dazzlingly

[O-O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O-O]

You might not even realize it yourself

[O-O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O-O]

Relax your heart and imagine the future

Where you're headed, totally free

Go back and chase the dreams you nearly gave up on

Pride of young and old, men and women

Everyone, let's shuffle up the generations

Connected smiles

Let’s party—if you don’t enjoy it, it’s a waste

Because life is only once

Rainbow isn’t just in the sky

It also colors your heart

Any miracle can happen, anytime

Universe Festival

[Japanese]

君はスター まばゆくシャイン

[O-O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O-O]

自分じゃ気付けない

[O-O-O-O-O, O-O-O-O-O]

心、リラックスして 未来(あす)をイメージ

行方、自由自在

諦めかけちゃった夢にリベンジ

老若男女のプライド

Everybody シャッフルしよう、世代

連鎖するスマイル

Let’s Party エンジョイしなきゃもったいない

だって、人生は一回

レインボーは 空だけじゃない

胸にも架かるぜ

どんなミラクルも起き放題

ユニバース・フェスティバル
