     [Romaji Lyrics]

Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
Carry On! Anytime, many times, You can!
Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
(Chance for you, Chase the wave)
Carry On! Anytime, many times, You can!

Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
(Time to wake up ya way)
Carry On! Anytime, many times, You can!
Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
(Life to light up ya sky)
Carry On! Anytime, many times, You can!

DON’T STOP mazu maketa wake shiru koto sore ga shouri no RAISENSU
Hengen jizai ga yueni jibun no ILLUSION ni madowa serarete
GET BACK kimi wa hontou no kimi wo miushinatterunda
Honmono koeta tsuyosa nante kono yoni wa nai no sa

Itsuka no ano SUCCES TORIKKU demo yume demonai
Kokoro no aru ga mama naritai jibun, mezaseba ii
Kinou no kimi jishin ni kateru koto de hajimaru
Sono hi ga makoto no VICTORY

Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
(Time to wake up ya way)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!
Ready Go! Anyway, many ways, You know!
(Life to light up ya sky)
Carry On! Anytime, many times, You can!

CRESENDO kuyashi namida wa katsu yori hiyaku dekiru takuto
Senpenbanka no saki ni mita koto no nai kimi ga matteru hazu

ALLWAYS jibun kakumei aozora yori azayakana
Kokoro ni utsusu kakugo dake wa daremo azamukenai

Yarerusa sono SUCCES kimi dake no OORA ni naru
Genkai koeru made ILLUSION no hate tsuppashire
Honnou yobisamase dare no sou, kawari demonai
Kimi nara kiseki mo okoseru

Try to be best…
It’s our style Don’t stop anymore…
chase true our dream

Try to be best…
It’s our style Don’t stop anymore…
chase true our dream

     [English Translation]

Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!
Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
(Chance for you,Chase the wave)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!

Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
(Time to wake up ya way)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!
Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
(Life to light up ya sky)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!

Don’t Stop, knowing the reason for losing is a license for victory
Therefore, changing your appearance and be wildered by your own Illusion
Get Back, the truth is you have lost sight of yourself
The strength to exceed the real you, there is none like that in this world

One day that Success is not a trick or dream
The truth feeling, to aim for the self you want to be is alright
It’s the start for winning against your past self
On that day, it’ll be a true Victory

Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
(Time to wake up ya way)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!
Ready Go! Anyway,many ways,You know!
(Life to light up ya sky)
Carry On! Anytime,many times,You can!

Cresendo, more than winning, vexation is a tact for leaping it
Before the infinite changes, you should wait for yourself you have never seen

Always self-revolution, more brilliant than the blue sky
Only the resolution reflected in the heart, no one can deceive it

Let’s do it, that Success will become your own aura
Until you exceed the limit, run swiftly to the end of Illusion
Wake up the instinct, no one shall take your place
If it’s you, you can even raise the miracle

Try to be best...
It's our style Don't stop anymore...
chase true our dream

Try to be best...
It's our style Don't stop anymore...
chase true our dream

Your dazzlingly beautiful face
Walking past this space, the wind suddenly illuminates
What I would see in dreams, and I am moved
Simply gazing

Standing still, you are alone
Your water-colored sleeves are painted softly
So many green trees, where is this place?
I've lost sight of it

Someday, this present moment
Will become a memory
I will never want to forget
Yes, even through the flow of time

Your cheeks are a little red
Looking shy with upturned eyes
Constantly I flip through each page
Upon the white canvas is
Your traced face
My thoughts are driven, this time
Simply, simply...

So your title is "Miss I"
By no means unmet, oh Miss I
Your golden hair attractively
Falls upon your shoulders

What colors can
Form the many layers so pleasantly
Following the emotions
Yes, even using the paint this way?

Your silhouette is just like ceramic
And is also quite famous
Constantly I flip through each page
Obsessed with painting
Your traced face
I cannot do so skillfully, but
Simply, simply...

Your dazzlingly beautiful face
Walking past this space, the wind suddenly illuminates
What I would see in dreams, and I am moved
Simply gazing

     [English Translation]

In the cold rain, I closed my eyes,
And realized that I am the only one who can protect myself
Within those days when truth was wavering,
There was no place at all for righteousness or dreams

I had been gazing down at the dried asphalt
But will once again kick at the sky and start walking ahead

Feel me more
I will cast my heartbeat against the raging wind
And may it reach my heart, that had started to wander
So keep in, as the blue light envelopes my frozen dreams
It guides me towards tomorrow
Can see the light

My reality that had diminished to nothing,
Changes my tears and pain into courage

I had feared myself most of all
But weakness I will purge and abandon into the darkness of night

Feel you more
Your heartbeat makes me stronger than anyone could
I will never give up this fight
So keep on, watch me as I clasp this broken timepiece close to me
And I shall leave my current self behind
Can see the light

Feel me more
I will cast my heartbeat against the raging wind
And may it reach my heart, that had started to wander
So keep in, as the blue light envelopes my frozen dreams
It guides me towards tomorrow

     [English Translation]

NMB! Here we are!
NMB! Here we are!

They kept on telling us
that flowers wouldn't bloom here
For all the water and light we provide,
we never see the sight of flower petals

But we still dream,
believing that a miracle will come someday

Sweat, wipe your sweat!
Pierce the earth with song and dance
from your brow
Pour in your love and passion!
In full bloom on this desolated land...

NMB! We heart dream!
NMB! We heart dream!

From my childhood I thought
there was no flower that wouldn't bloom
But since when did I begin to doubt
that somewhere in this world
was a flower that wouldn't reward you?
Why do adults give up?

Tears, wipe your tears!
Even if you weep, it can't be helped
You'll be standing there
Overcome the rain and the wind,
in full bloom with a parade onstage...

Hey you,
do you love me?

Always there,
you were a support for me
I want you to praise those people
who silently watched over us
from the time when even buds didn't bloom
I want you to scold
my flower that bloomed for the first time,
that you're not satisfied until a bigger flower blooms

Sweat, wipe your sweat!
Pierce the earth with song and dance
from your brow,
and dreams will bloom within it
Tears, wipe your tears!
Even if you weep, it can't be helped
You'll be standing there
Overcome the rain and the wind,
in full bloom with a parade onstage...

NMB! Here we are!
NMB! Here we are!

So if everyone does their very best,
we can make every sort of flower bloom

the star that someone will tell us about someday

It was a long, long journey
until we got here
We thought that what we aimed for
was just an illusion

There was no pain
in such a wondrous thing
Walking and looking at the sky
wasn't at all unpleasant

Why did we believe
in an existence we could never see?
We were searching for a miracle
somewhere in this world

From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come

Like an unpaved road,
there was no comfort before today
We were convinced that it was something
we could not do easily

Why did we grow nervous, although
we were scolded time and time again?
We were imagining a dream that grew
just slightly closer than yesterday

How much did we sweat?
We must have shed even so many tears
The blueprints of the future
spread out from that place

We noticed the first star before we knew it
The dreams at which we aimed are right by it
Having quarreled, we
won light and became stars,
and so effort is not something harsh
You can do it for sure because you love

Please try doing what you want to do
You can turn to reality the dreams
that you yearned for and lost yourself in

From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come

     [English Translation]

What is the meaning of existence? If you probe into it, it'll turn into a reason
If you and I meet, that reason will surely turn into hope
Counting what you lack and getting disappointed about it is your free will
But you're more honest than I thought when you put on an absurd face

We might've done our best even if we were alone
Always not knowing the potential about to be born

The stronger your light becomes, the more I can become free
With the power we can pull out, in this place, in this place, certainly
The more you can become free, the more my shadow stands out,
Shadow that can be called a key to win against a miracle

It's because I love it that there was a day I hated it excessively
The reason why my heart has a rough feeling is always in my heart
Even though what we think is important is different between you and me
I won't blame you, let's act like ourselves together

Let's become strong, each one of us
So we can combine greater strength for tomorrow

With an almost dazzling speed, with a breathtaking play
We can pass more, in this place, in this place, definitely
Our roles aren't just one, intensify and boost them further
That is more like me, there is such a resistance

The stronger your light becomes, the more I can become free
With the power we can pull out, in this place, in this place, certainly
The more you can become free, the more my shadow stands out,
Shadow that can be called a key to win against a miracle

     [English Translation]

You turned your eyes away
so as to escape sadness...
Rain fell outside the window
Reflected was the end of love

Before I knew it,
I changed,
enough to wound you,
who was so important to me...

Preoccupied with someone else,
I forgot my heart somewhere
What was I doing, continuing
to wander around?

Realize this is goodbye...
I completely lose my words
When this time is past,
I hope you'll be able to be happy
Realize this is goodbye
You're enduring the pain
I'm sorry
This monologue
is a futile thing

Memories of downpours
seem endless all night long
Some of the rain's threads
are drawing my regret to them

You'd waited for me
That was your way
Putting it off and acting spoiled
was my crime until today

Being treated kindly is more painful
than forcefully being blamed
This love that didn't find even a way out
has a dead end right here

Are we already hopeless?
Is there no way to return to the beginning?
Already you're
saying nothing to me
Are we already hopeless?
Although I know there's no way
to do it over again...

Being unreasonable
and smiling for my sake
was your loveliness

Realize this is goodbye...
I completely lose my words
When this time is past,
I hope you'll be able to be happy
Realize this is goodbye
You're enduring the pain
I'm sorry
This monologue
is a futile thing

You turned your eyes away
so as to escape sadness...
Rain fell outside the window
Reflected was the end of love

     [English Translation]

The road I am walking on now
is the road I wished for before but
I hate the self that becomes worried
just from the wind blowing slightly

The dream that I saw in the past
shone radiantly
with no doubt nor
anything else;
the far future that I believed in

Why are there tears welling up
and overflowing?
Even though I know
I'm blessed with happiness
If I stop now
I won't able to walk anymore
I'll try hard and keep going

The colleagues that should have started together
are going very far ahead
The times that I can't see their retreating figures
I think my own feet are slow

Our respective ending destinations or
the speeds to reach them are all different but,
to the regret
and frustration,
there are times when I might lose...

I am me aren't I?
I'm alright
I simply said
that I wanted to be spoiled by someone
Though I'm always laughing and
acting cheerfully,
I am weak just like everyone else

Why are there tears welling up
and overflowing?
Even though I know
I'm blessed with happiness
If I stop now
I won't able to walk anymore
I'll try hard and keep going

I am me aren't I?
No matter who I am..
People live their lives by their own pace
no matter who they are
I'll definitely find it;
a path that only I can walk on
For a little longer I'll slowly continue on

No matter which language in the world
I search through, the nuance is wrong
This feeling I have right now is frustrating
I can only express it
With this finger

Within a throng of people
I found you
I'll snipe you with a beam of love!

Those eyes (those eyes), those lips (those lips)
Everything, oh, is dear to me
Right now (right now) I want to win your heart (win your heart)
Let's hold each other, oh baby, my angel
And never let go again

My index finger (index finger)
Feel it (feel it)
My electric guitar!

When passionate blood
Pounds through my body
My feelings go crazy
Can I gather them
In one finger?

If you notice
That you're loved
Let me know the truth!

Those eyes (those eyes), those lips (those lips)
Everything, oh, is dear to me
Right now (right now) I want to win your heart (win your heart)
Let's hold each other, oh baby, my angel
And never let go again

Within a throng of people
I found you

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…

The number of times I dream
Has decreased
If this is becoming an adult
Then while
My eyes are open
I can keep dreaming forever…

Even if my sneakers
Get dirty on the rainy school grounds
I can wash them
Until they're white again…
My heart, too…

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
How should I live?
No one knows
I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…

I'm not opposed
To freedom
It's a philosophy
That forgives anything
Even if someone
Is sullied
I won't condemn them at all…

And it's fine to overreach yourself a bit
To have love
Even when I play around in Shibuya
The time I spend there
Teaches me something

I want to be called pure
Until I graduate…
Just what is important?
I answer myself
I want to be called pure
Until I graduate…
A bare, shining,
Sparkling me

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
How should I live?
No one knows
I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…

     [English Translation]

You have taught me that
being able to laugh together with someone is a bliss.

From when we were little, I already knew all your hobbies and interests,
and I tried to make myself match your ideals to the best of my abilities.
One day, you secretly let me know that
you were in love with a beautiful girl who was older than you.

I can't possibly beat her, so I'll use my power and travel through time to the past.
There I'll meet you again and we'll fall in love with each other.

You, in tears, were searching for me
who had suddenly vanished from your sight.
"I have to go back!" But my power was a one-way street; I couldn't leap back to the future.

I wanted to tell him that I came from a faraway place,
but somehow I had a feeling that I mustn't.

Looking at the older me, he asked,
"I'm looking for someone that looks a lot like you.
Would you happen to know anything about her?"

You, in tears, were searching the whole day.
You were trying to bring the two of us back together.
"Stop! I'm right here, so don't leave me!"

When it's spring again, you decided to leave this place,
and said to me, "I wish you were that person."

I remembered the rich feelings
I had when I was in love,
so with all my might, I grabbed your hand.

I, in tears, told you the truth.
Slowly, I was sucked into the wrecked space-time continuum.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a completely grey world.

In my hand I was holding an old-looking photo.
Ah, so there was once such a vibrantly-colored era.
In that photo you were laughing so innocently.
From here, I began my journey of time travel again in order to meet you.

Will I ever be able to smile again in this world?
I put down your picture and begin walking forward.
