Doryoku mirai A BEAUTIFUL STAREffort, future, a beautiful star
Randorii kyou wa garaaki de rakkii deiThe laundromat’s wide open today, what a lucky day
Kattarii aburayogore mo kore de baibaiCleaning off this greasy grime’s a drag, but I’ll say bye-bye
Dare da dare da atama no naka yobikakeru koe waWho is it, who’s that voice calling out inside my head?
Are ga hoshii kore ga hoshii to utatte iruIt’s singing “I want that, I want this”
Shiawase ni naritai raku shite ikite itaiI just wanna be happy, I wanna live an easy life
Kono te ni tsukamitai anata no sono mune no nakaI wanna grab what’s deep inside that heart of yours
Happii de umetsukushite resuto in piisu made ikou zeLet’s bury ourselves in happiness until we finally rest in peace
Itsuka mita jigoku mo ii tokoro ai o baramaiteEven the hell I saw once is a decent place if we scatter some love,
Ai rabu yuu kenashite kure zenbu ubatte waratte kure mai haniiI love you, so tear me down, take everything, and laugh for me, my honey
Doryoku mirai A BEAUTIFUL STAREffort, future, a beautiful star
Nanka wasurechatten daI’ve gone and forgotten something
Doryoku mirai A BEAUTIFUL STAREffort, future, a beautiful star
Yon yon yon san de hazureru tansansuiMissing out on a soda with a ‘4-4-4-3’ roll,
Hangurii kojirasete hakisou na jinseimaking this hunger worse in a life that makes me wanna gag
“Yamanai ame wa nai” yori saki ni sono kasa o kure yoBefore you tell me “it can’t rain forever,” just hand over that umbrella
Are ga hoshii kore ga hoshii subete hoshii tada munashiiI want that, I want this, I want it all, but it’s just empty
Shiawase ni naritai raku shite ikite itaiI just wanna be happy, I wanna live an easy life,
Zenbu mechakucha ni shitai nanimo kamo keshisaritaiI wanna wreck everything, I wanna wipe it all away,
Anata nosono mune no nakaright from inside that heart of yours
Rakkii de umetsukushite resuto in piisu made ikou zeLet’s bury ourselves in luck until we finally rest in peace
Ii ko dake mukaeru tengoku ja doumo ikirannaiI just can’t stand a heaven that only lets the ‘good kids’ in,
Ai rabu yuu kenashite ubatte waratte kure mai haniiI love you, so tear me down, take it all, and laugh for me, my honey
