[English]

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Okay, listen, listen, it's my solo stage

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Tilt your head

...

Let's shake it off (Giga, TeddyLoid)

Huh, ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, it's singing time

Come on up to the top

Completing the night, alright, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Getting more and more into it, super easy, brah, brah, brah! Pow

Indescribable, ain't nobody stop (ha, ha)

Hey, all over the land, splendid and luxurious, shall we make some noise?

Soon, a shocking voice will boldly announce my intentions

The temple of illusions is swiftly being eliminated

Ay, the cherry blossoms in full bloom, here I come

I’m not trying to look cool, no, no

Automatically overflowing instincts

Proclaiming on the guillotine, let’s celebrate in style

Da-rat-a-tat-a-tat, warning!

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Banzai, feeling playful, shout it out, shout it out

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Gracefully, jumping in tune with my emotions

Shout it out, shout it out (ooh)

(Hey, uh) Go ahead and take it

(Hey, ha) rat-a-tat-tat-tat

(Pull up) hey, uh, brah, brah, pow

In full bloom, everyone jumps around all at once

Look at me now

So intense it feels like I might burst my skin

A heart that beats like a passionate explosion (exotic vox)

Imini mini mani mo, from your arrival to the sunrise

Releasing those hidden feelings

(Rationality, adios)

Getting all worked up (ay, ay, ay, ay)

Serpent blade, double-edged, deceiving

Ambitious juice that makes you jealous

Don’t be fooled, I don’t want to get angry

Before karma hits, I’ll sway

Serpent blade, double-edged, deceiving

Ambitious juice that makes you jealous

Don’t be fooled, I don’t want to get angry

A butterfly of ten colors (no escape)

As you know, I can’t stop with this noisy heartbeat

Already bound, ay

A daybreak painted with impulses

Piercing through the lungs, low bass madness

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Unprecedented danger, unparalleled energy fills the air

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Taking a chance, ah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

Banzai, feeling playful, shout it out, shout it out

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, ready for my show

To stir up applause, stay

Forget everything, shout it out

Ay, yeah

Whoa, right and left, all together, rat-a-tat-a-tat (pull up)

With all my might, all at once (clap, clap, clap)

No matter what, let’s chant together

Shout it out, shout it out

...
