| Japanese | English Translation |
| Kirameki odoru Denkou Kono sekai Kurayami wo Kake nukeru Aoki chikai no gekijou Watashi rashiku Sore ga subete dakara |
The lightning dances with brilliant sparks, Dashing through this world and the darkness, The fury of a blue pledge. I’ll be myself because that’s all there is. |
| Jibun ni uso nante tsukenai' KOKORO ga BARABARA ja Waraenai Dareka no Tsumetai shisen ga itami ni kawattemo Yakusoku no kotoba wo Gyutto daite susunde yuku |
I can’t do something like lie to myself, When my heart’s in tatters I can’t smile, Even if someone’s cold stare turns into pain, I’ll hold the words of the promise tightly and move forward. |
| Sora he to isogu Denkou Tsuyogari wo Kono yume wo tsuki nukete Kyou no kotae wo sagasu yo Machigatte ii Sore mo yuuki dakara |
The lightning rushes towards the sky, Piercing the bluff and this dream, I’ll look for today’s answer! It’s okay to make mistakes because that’s also courage. |
| Anmari mayotte irarenai RIARU wa SUPIIDO wo yurumenai Gomen ne IRAIRA shichau no Doushite yasashiino? Anata no hohoemi wa Mukuna tsuyosa misetsukerune |
I can’t wander too much, The speed of reality doesn’t slow down, Sorry, I’m irritated, Why are you being nice? Your smile shows an innocent strength. |
| Sono te no hira ga Fureta toki Kanjou ga yukkuri to Koboredasu Kyou no watashi wo sagasu no Kowaku wa nai Hitori bocchi janai |
When I touch the palm of your hand, My feelings slowly start spilling out. I’ll look for today’s me. There’s nothing to fear, I’m not alone. |
| Kirameki odoru Denkou Kono sekai Kurayami wo Kake nukeru Aoki chikai no gekijou Watashi rashiku Sore ga subete dakara |
The lightning dances with brilliant sparks, Dashing through this world and the darkness, The fury of a blue pledge. I’ll be myself because that’s all there is. |
| Kirameki odoru Denkou Kono karada Kono yume wo Tsuki nukete Kitto saigo wa warau no |
The lightning dances with brilliant sparks, Piercing this body and this dream, I’m sure I’ll be smiling at the end. |
| Watashi rashiku Sore ga subete dakara | I’ll be myself because that’s all there is. |
