[English]

Your smile is brighter than sparkling jewels

My heart was stolen in an instant

All eyes on you, what do you do?

Staring at the screen at the intersection

That Little girl from that day

A big dream quietly born in my heart

Rummaging through Mom’s closet

Putting together an outfit to reach higher

Mimicking magazine poses, if I do that

Lights, camera, action! This is my stage

(Who?) Overflowing feelings

(You) I want to stay honest

Because I want to make it come true

Just you wait and see

Wanna be like you

Mystic, my muse

Flying to the world of dreams with you

My heart just won’t stop singing

To a place where sunlight shines

I’ll take you there too

Won’t you take my hand?

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

Catch that spark now

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

I just wanna be your, be your muse right now

Fashion at the cutting edge

That smile on her face

Her voice is Heaven, walking is magic

Yeah, it's so dramatic, the whole city's panic

Her image on the screen

That Little girl from that day

Surely, a future like that awaits, I can’t wait

Even if they say my dreams are too big

I don’t care what they say

One look, captivated instantly

Marking my timeline with my name

(Who?) The one I want to become

(Muse) If I’ve decided that

I can’t stop now

Just you wait and see

Wanna be like you

Mystic, my muse

Flying to the world of dreams with you

My heart just won’t stop singing

To a place where sunlight shines

I’ll take you there too

Won’t you take my hand?

Going where you are

If I stay just dreaming

I can’t reach you

So I’ll get there, eventually

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

Catch that spark now

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

I just wanna be your, be your muse right now

One look 釘付けにしちゃって
