3. Stay Gold

A hope that’s lost its destination because I couldn’t hold on and let go
Each time I imagine it, it’s beyond the expectations towards the future

Fall out, the illusions reflected far in my eyes
Looking up at the sky, I decided to truly change

Yelling your voice hoarse, stopping in your tracks and screaming for someone, ever last
I will wipe all the tears of everything I’ve faced for your sake, I’m here by your side
Until the wish, the dream I saw that day, comes true
I will contain it, stay gold
It won’t fade, stay gold

The little words I couldn’t speak but swallowed are disappearing
Each time it repeats itself, the sound of waves crashing against a cliff increased

Relive, the sorrow of softly coming back to life
No matter how many times it piles up, I decided to change my destiny

Reaching out both hands, closing your eyes and praying for someone, never end
I embrace all the pain I expanded for your sake, I’ll be with you, brave my heart
Until I connect with the feelings, the will I saw that day
I won’t look back, stay gold

Because in either the past, present and future, despair will turn into illuminating love
I strongly believe we’ll even be able to make heart-shaking miracles happen

Yelling your voice hoarse, stopping in your tracks and screaming for someone, ever last
I will wipe all the tears of everything I’ve faced for your sake, I’m here by your side
Until the wish, the dream I saw that day, comes true
I will contain it, stay gold
It won’t fade, stay gold

2. 7Colors

What’s with that long face?
I’ve known the answer I’m searching for a long time already
With a hazy fever remaining in my chest,
I will throw away the cowardice that would make me a bystander

If there was a rainbow on the other side of passion
it would be tightly hugging the sky after the rain

A daydream glittering in seven colors,
Watching dreams without waking
Whatever happens, I will start running
From here towards the future, straight ahead

My weak heart fills up now as well
Because I can walk as long as your voice resounds

If I trace the pure white map with my fingers
surely, it will put on the wind and set out on a trip

A daydream glittering in seven colors,
Trying to open my eyes
Stretching out my hands towards the sky that’s bluer than I think
Embracing this moment

Blooming in my chest that knew pain is an unwithering dream
Don’t forget about your first feelings, you’ll be able to see tomorrow…

A daydream glittering in seven colors,
Forever with dreams that don’t wake
Whatever happens, I will start running
From here towards the future, always
A daydream glittering in seven colors,
Watching dreams without waking
Whatever happens, I will start running
From here towards the future, straight ahead

I will start running, straight ahead

11. Junketsu Paradox

The humming voice that flows down the moonlit night
Dances and sways gracefully through the desolated valley
In the fleeting dream that will disappear as you reach out your hand
I hold invisible love, and smile by myself

I would leave everything to be untied
In those supple fingertips tracing the empty moonlight
Ah, that burning secret…

The stringless harp invites me into the labyrinth,
the eternal memories that entwine so beautifully as if it’s a song
The dew of feelings are yearning for you,
they keep on painting this sky without withering away
and they will probably keep on shining

In the remaining gap of darkness, there is a silken echo
Following the colored sound, I become softly intoxicated with it
In the sweet illusion that has been carved into multiple layers
It reflects a small quivering happiness

Filling it to the brim with cold light, washing away the wandering stars,
The slumber of dawn is deep
Ah, it can’t be stopped anymore

Beyond the rain falling from a cloudless sky, it shows the future
It’s pouring down as if praying, coloring the silence
My blurring scars are searching for you
This unspoiled wish, like a conclusion,
is waiting for the day it will come down upon us

In the definite promise that releases the wavering instability,
my shaken heart was already…

A drop of the unforgotten flower changes into a moist breath
It envelops and gently melts everything
Ah, I can’t go back anymore

The stringless harp invites me into the labyrinth,
the eternal memories that entwine so beautifully as if it’s a song
The dew of feelings are yearning for you,
they keep on painting this sky without withering away
and they will probably keep on shining

2. Unbreakable

Surely, on everyone’s back, spread your wings,
There were wings that remember
our memories, ‘cause we journey
Like searching for the entrance to the sky

Even if a chest-tearing lightning bolt would shine brightly
Even fear would change into strength and leap beyond the future

This wish is unbreakable
Destiny is beginning
Without a doubt, when looking at dreams I want to fulfill
My heart is unbreakable
It’s pounding not to stop
This pulse is making us into travelers
Toward the sky above with invisible wings
Until we arrive… we’re unbreakable

Forgetting even to dream, don’t waste your life
As long as you just spend your time
We forget we were soldiers
who protect the people important to us

Each time I doubt, the possibility sharpens
Even if my distant dreams and reality are very far apart

I will vow it now, unbreakable
No matter to where it spreads
The world is testing us
Still, it’s unbreakable
It’s screaming not to end
Wishes are making us into travelers

Using up all my strength to come to a halt
In the middle of the night, the stars are saying
That your dream isn’t in a place like this

Even if a chest-tearing lightning bolt would shine brightly
Even fear would change into strength and leap beyond the future

This wish is unbreakable
Destiny is beginning
Without a doubt, when looking at dreams I want to fulfill
My heart is unbreakable
It’s pounding not to stop
This pulse is making us into travelers
Toward the sky above with invisible wings
Until we arrive… we’re unbreakable
Turning our unbreakable dreams into wings, we’re gonna fly…

10. Pop Master

Will you tell only me? The continuation of that shooting star
Even though I don’t know what is supposed to be ‘right’
I’m fine with having just straightforward feelings

Saying ‘it’s also necessary to give up’,
you should just erase such a convenient interpretation!
That’s right, the dazzling blue is our signal
I’m waiting for the time to set off!

Fall in love with your dreams, yes! Pop master!
Diving, diving, diving into the perfect rainbow
with an invincible smile!
Aren’t you getting fired up to an impossible extent? Are you okay?
We’ll invent a future that’s nowhere else to be found (right now) together

Only you know this, is that courage the real thing?
Even when it’s full of things you can’t convey well
I’m sure it’s not something useless

Say goodbye to boring excuses like
‘Maybe it’s impossible…’ and ‘I should hold back’
Become more and more honest
The key to release you only exists within you!

Dreaming of your dreams, yes! Pop master!
Gliding, gliding, gliding on unyielding feelings
Trust yourself!
Nod rather than hang your head in shame! Are you okay?
Everyone writes history, only one (existence) Superstar

It’s okay to be too serious
and to have a rest from time to time
Let’s try and surrender ourselves to this unstoppable throbbing!

Fall in love with your dreams, yes! Pop master!
Diving, diving, diving into the perfect rainbow
with an invincible smile!
Aren’t you getting fired up to an impossible extent? Are you okay?
We’ll invent a future that’s nowhere else to be found (right now) together
