Mou nandome no soraHow many times have we looked up at this sky?
Negau yo owaranai tabiI’m wishing for a journey that never ends.
Gogen owari ni panku kuchizusamiHumming a punk rock tune as fifth period ends,
Kakenukeru eki muteki na feel saracing through the station feeling invincible.
Bokura wa hashiru hashiru rurururuWe just keep running, running, ru-ru-ru-ru.
Hyouka nanka muyou de rokkaa ni marumekondeGrades are useless, so I shove them in my locker,
Seishun chou kasoku nandatte kirameiteruas our youth accelerates, making everything sparkle.
Geeto wo kuguri sekai wo kaetaWe passed through the gates and changed the world.
Kimi to nara muteki nandaWhen I’m with you, I feel invincible.
Jinsei wo asobitsukusou yoLet’s play this game of life until we’re done.
Mou nandome no soraHow many times have we looked up at this sky?
Negau yo owaranai tabiI’m wishing for a journey that never ends.
Ikutsu ni nattemo kiramekeNo matter how old we get, keep on sparkling,
