Deep within the depths
Of my scrambled mess of a brain,

I scream out a fleeting prayer,
As this traitor escapes to where he truly belongs
Into the night

(Blow wind blow,
It’s okay to bring the storm)

(Blow wind blow,
I can control it all)
Even if someone has to get hurt—

I always found myself sparing a glance
At the setting sun,
Telling myself hope was still within reach
No matter how sullied I got.

I don a mask of make-believe
And laugh in tears.
Nighthawk, just where will tomorrow’s winds blow?

As the days turn into months
And I receive these little acts of kindness,
Something wavers inside of me.
I want to forget it all, as we head into the end.

(Blow wind blow,
I can never run away)

(Blow wind blow,
I have no choice but to run)
Even if it destroys me—

I reached my hand out
Toward the lingering rays of the setting sun.
They slipped through my fingers,
Staying out of my grasp for good.
The light is gone

I’ll become one with this long, dark night,
(I swear I’ll protect you)

Playing the part of a fake
(Deceiving you all.)
Just destroy me already...

Please don’t share that warmth with me,
I want nothing to do with it.

Go ahead and hate me,
Turn your back on me,
Hurry up and push me away…

I always found myself sparing a glance
At the setting sun,
Telling myself hope was still within reach
No matter how sullied I got.

I don a mask of make-believe
And laugh in tears.
Nighthawk, just where will tomorrow’s winds blow?

I will take you
And bid this maze adieu,
But you still fall through.
 
Fake you out, slave you
You’ve been stuck in the claws of this lie that’s been drawn.
 
Be arrested, unable to move on—
For some absurd reason, tears start to drip down.
But even so, this blade that’s rusted raw
Becomes a key like a
Delivery from the past, haha…

I never let up chasing
After that cold smile you wear.
It's all just for show

I never let up chasing
Your true feelings.
Hey, give me now, give me now, give me now…
Pull up! You are faking it
 
I just take you, not a lie
I won’t ask for anything more,
I won’t tell you any pretty lies.
Give me now, give me now, give me, and it’ll all be over.
 
I just take you, not a lie
I won’t ask for anything more,
I won’t make any empty promises,
So trust in me.
 
That's the truth, isn't it?
 
Just like plastic, my expectations were
Melting down and seeping in, an insider.
The poison's taken its hold for good, turning the world into a blur.
 
Oh, backing out and pressing down on the accel,
I eat shit and my last bit of reason rebels.
That face comes to mind, and I make sense
Of this chase.

Chained in place, I've got to hold on,
It's the same old draw,
You're a monster, poison dripping from your jaw.
 
Deep inside, where it's cold as snow,
That affection you hold starts to grow.
Desperately making sure it doesn't show,
You bury them down low.
 
Deep inside, to the point it overflows,
You can't deny the truth no more.
So open up, no need to put on a show,
Catch me already, wow, oh, oh…

I never let up chasing
After that cold smile you wear.
It's all just for show
 
I never let up chasing
Your true feelings.
Hey, give me now, give me now, give me now…
Pull up! You are faking it
 
Out of nowhere, it was all lost,
And everyone disappeared without a moment’s pause.
Out of nowhere, it was all lost,
And everyone disappeared without a moment’s pause.
 
I just take you, not a lie
I won’t ask for anything more,
I won’t tell you any pretty lies.
Give me now, give me now, give me, and it’ll all be over.
 
I just take you, not a lie

Sensation—the start of something new
Is never just a coincidence. (Ah)
Creation—The dream reflected in your eyes
Must be what they call fate.
 
Precious words,
Bonds worth protecting,
Lemme tell you right now—
One and only… what? You already know
 
All new days, the instant I spot your smile,
All your days, our eyes meet like clockwork.
So we don't lose each other, take my hand,
Let's come together, body and soul,
And right there, we'll join as one—
 
Listen to my heart

Ah We’re coming home now
Hey We’re coming home now
Ah We’re coming home now
Hey We’re coming home now

Comeback 
 
I’ll bring my melody to your colorless world.
(Closer, close to you)
I’m always here for you.
 
This is our very own story, ah
The first chapter of our history.
(Dreaming, dreams come true)
I’ll show you what it means to dream!

All new days, I’ll be the light that brightens your days!
All your days, so let’s take in this whole wide world
And sneak past the horizon in search of the sun,
Standing side by side!
Looking for sunshine
 
I’ll never let go of you again.
I swear this isn’t a dream.
I’m right here…
One and with you by my side
(Oh yeah!)
 
No matter how far you are, I can always feel
Your light
Blossoming, for our future, will be
My light
Always, all right, just like this, keep going
In this single moment, a flower blooms!

Precious words,
Bonds worth protecting,
Lemme tell you right now—
Just be yourself!
 
Reaching deep into your heart
Like a warm spring day,
I just want it to reach you…
One and only… what? You already know

All new days, the instant I spot your smile,
All your days, our eyes meet like clockwork.
So we don't lose each other, take my hand,
Let's come together, body and soul,
And right there, we'll join as one—
 
Listen to my heart

Ah We’re coming home now
Hey We’re coming home now
 
If this is where you wanna be…
 
We’re coming home now
Hey We’re coming home now
 
I'll cherish this bond for the rest of time!
Listen to my heart
Ah

Good morning, hey my bro
Can you do this party yo?
It's just been slumbering deep inside your heart—
You don't be blind
To what the future hides dyed by sunrise as we're urged on to arise.
 
Now! (Now!) Wherever shall we go? (Go!)
As this deep blue sea
Is dyed a brilliant gold,
This morning will be one of gratitude!
 
Good morning! Morning! Don’t worry!
Just take a look—the sun has risen, Yay, Yeah! (Yay, Yeah!)
The light that glistens and glows—
It's right under your nose.
I could just burst into song and dance…
Any day of the week!
 
Good morning!
It's our celebration,
Good morning!
Can't stop moving, let's start the party…
 
Somewhere between an anniversary and a birthday, how's that sound for a party?
Let's have a ball, the day doesn't belong to anyone!
 
For each and every one,
We're all ride or die in this place made by you and Ithat's our paradise!
 
Now! (Now!) Let's take back the dawn! (Go!)
The night may be long,
But that just means the tears glistening in our eyes
Will make the morning shine even brighter
Welcome to brand new "Dawn"!!
 
Now, we set sail through the seas of futility and embark on a new possibility,1
Seen off by the last bit of melting snow carried by the raging winds.2
That thing filling with you with regrets nowhere to be seen, so stop gritting your fangs,3
Just enjoy the most magnificent celebration brought to you by 54
Let us be your cloud's silver lining, (Yeah!) Time to take off! (Yeah!)5
Your heart needs some TLC? Leave it to the sunRize!6
 
I never had a place where I truly belonged, try as I might.
I found myself lost in the clouds, blindly searching for light.7
We fight, lose sight, mortified, in a crisis made up of baseless lies,
We cry, cry, cry for more like fools who never learn their lesson in time.
 
But we finally reached the best spot of all,
And the night we wasted on apologies
Will lead to a morning of gratitude!
 
Good morning! Morning! Don't worry!
We're all one of a kind, so be our guest and do as you like, Yay, Yeah! (Yay, Yeah!)
Anything goes, you see, at this spectacular party,
I'm so happy, I could just burst into laughter! Uh Yeah
 
Good morning! Morning! Don’t worry!
Just take a look—the sun has risen, Yay, Yeah! (Yay, Yeah!)
The light that glistens and glows—
It's right under your nose.
I could just burst into song and dance…
Any day of the week!

Good morning!
It's our celebration,
Good morning!
Can't stop moving, let's start the party…


NOTE: Translation notes contain major spoilers for chapter 1 of the main story.
 
1. Kafka's name is written as 大黒可不可.

2. Yukikaze's name is written as 神名雪風.
  • The word 名残り雪 refers to the last bit of snow before spring.
  • 神風 (shinpuu or kamikaze) literally means "divine wind" or "typhoon", though we usually take it to refer to Japanese military aviators. 

3. Renga's name is written as 西園練牙.
  • The lyrics replace the word teeth in "grit your teeth" with the word 牙 (fangs). This word is pronounced as "kiba", the nickname of the original Renga.
  • Although I translated the word 未練 as "thing filling you with regret", which reflects Liguang's feelings about Kiba, it can also be translated as "lingering attachment", which more accurately reflects Renga's feelings.
  • The phrase 東西南北 means "east, west, south, and north", with the 西 in Nishizono meaning "west".
  • なんのソノ means "no big deal"/"nothing to sweat about", with ソノ being pronounced as "sono".  

4. Liguang's name is written as 鹿礼光.
  • The word 回礼 refers to customary visits with friends and family, typically during New Year's.
  • 鹿鳴 literally means "deer calls", but in The Classic of Poetry, a Chinese collection of ancient poetry, it is used to refer to song and festivities meant to entertain guests, reflecting the mayors' role as tour guides. 

5. Ten's name is written as 叢雲添.
  • 月に叢雲花に風 is a Japanese figure of speech that literally means "clouds over the moon, wind in the flowers", and refers to how even in happy moments, bad occurrences are never far away.
  • The phrase 付き添う means to accompany. Altogether, the line literally means something along the lines of "We'll be there for you even when life gets to you". 

6. This line includes the word もてなす, which is the verb form of our favorite word "omotenashi", or hospitality. 

7. The word 闇雲, literally "dark clouds", means "blindly" or "recklessly", with 雲 also being a part of Ten's name. Also, for what it's worth, the word for light is 光, which is the second character in Liguang's given name (I guess they couldn't find a place to stick it in the earlier lines?)

Shhhh…!
The sun's retreated deep into the night,
The lighthouse flashes a bright orange light,
Oh eh oh…
Glowing upon the future just out of sight.
 
Hey my bro, can you do this yo?
All that and nothing to show? (No way!)
(Whoa!) Come tomorrow (Whoa!) I'll bring my a-game, I'll have you know!
Why can't you? Why can't you? Take hold of your own stage…
 
That sunrise I saw so long ago is where I'll make it,
It should be right around the corner, yeah
Since from the depths of the ocean, so dark and still cold,
Is where the sun will rise!
 
I'm not just biding my time.
I'm rising up in the night, baby!
I've got no time to be entertaining all that foolish chit chat.
Well sure, we've yet to make it out there, yeah,
But from here on out, I'm sure we'll reach the dawn!
 
La La La… La La La…
We gonna get dawn, Uh Uh
 
The feasible and futile and all that falls in between,1
Just give it to me and I'll take you along, so come on if you please.
Try and grab hold of the Icicle Palace you saw in your dreams.2

I swear this is no bull, cross my heart and hope to die,3
So let's have this story unroll however you'd like.
No need to thank me, just stick to the rules.
All the best to those destined to one day shine like jewels.4

All the trials and tribulations I've faced are building a new me up brick by brick!5

I'm not just biding my time.
I'm fighting against the flow of time, baby!
Who says we have to stay true to these foolish traditions?
It's yet to make a turn for the worse, yeah,
So set fire to that day's feeble corpse…
 
So I gotta get some action with patience…
We've still got a long road ahead of us.
Looking back, I can tell this is just the beginning
TenLiguang: Of the days
RengaKafka: Where we can
Smile together…
 
I'm not just biding my time.
I'm rising up in the night, baby!
I've got no time to be entertaining all that foolish chit chat.
Well sure, we've yet to make it out there, yeah,
But from here on out, I'm sure we'll reach the dawn!
 
La La La… La La La…
We gonna get dawn, Uh Uh


TN: The second verse includes many references to the characters' names.
 
1. Kafka's name is written as 可不可, with 可能 meaning possible 不可能 meaning impossible. 

2. 掴みな (grab it) is pronounced as "tsukami na", with Kamina being Yukikaze's last name. The original lyrics included the phrase 氷上の頂上 (summit atop the ice), but since that sounded a little bit awkward, I changed it to "Icicle Palace", which is the title of and one of the topics covered in Yukikaze's novel. 

3. The original phrase used here is 天に誓って, or "swear to the heavens". 天 is pronounced as "ten". 

4. The word for thanks is 礼, which is the first character of Liguang's name. The word for shine used in the lyrics is 光差す, with 光 being the second character of his name. Liguang's last name, Lu, is pronounced the same way as the start of the word rule ("ruu"). 

5. The lyrics include the words 鍛錬 (tempering), 修練 (training), and 試練 (ordeals), with the latter two including the kanji 練, which is the "ren" in Renga. 試練 is followed with the particle が, which altogether is pronounced as "shiren ga". Renga can also mean brick, which is why I opted to include the phrase "brick by brick".

Our eyes meet, and my rushing heart matches the rhythm of our One Step.
I feel the warmth of your fingers upon my palm as though we're taking to the Two Step.1
 
Your gaze and the melody of your voice send my heart a-twirl,
And deep within my heart, the courage to take that last step forward... bursts forth.
 
“Won't you please share a dance with me?”
In this ballroom where time has frozen,
I carry these precious feelings welling in my eyes with each step I take.
 
I'm here to play the role of your dance partner tonight.
Show me your smile, lit by a chandelier of stars.
 
I'd escort you to wherever you'd wish to go.
Even this world I know nothing about will surely become precious to me.
 
All the things I see and feel link together,
Ah, this whole world around me, what a holy place!
I embrace the memories held by each light.
 
“Won't you please share a dance with me?”
Since the day we first introduced ourselves to each other,
I won't let even one of these precious feelings welling in my eyes slip from my grasp.
 
Once the light we found together this fateful night shines with my vow,
Show me your smile, lit by a chandelier of stars.
 
“Won't you please share a dance with me?”
The second your fingers grace my outstretched hand,
Time comes to a halt, and the world transforms into a ballroom.
 
The melody plays on, the stars follow their orbit,
And my heart swells with each step I take,
Overflowing with songs I want to reach that smile of yours.

1. I'm aware of how strange these lyrics sound! In the original lyrics, there are no direct mentions of any numbers, but they're instead alluded to in the choreography and inclusion of certain sounds.
The Japanese lyrics are:
issho ni nari (1 = ichi, 2 = ni)
mitsuketa shiawase (3 = mitsu, 4 = shi)
itsudemo mujaki ni (5 = itsu, 6 = mu)
nami wa hajikete (7 = nana, 8 = hachi)
kyuujoushou suru (9 = kyuu)
As you can probably tell, the numbers lended themselves nicely in some lines, and not so much in others. I tried my best.
A normal translation would be:
We came together,
And found our own happiness.
Always as pure as can be,
The waves burst forth,
Rushing to the top,

Are we destined to remember nothing but our most bitter of regrets?
We just haven't been able to let go of all the things we've been piling up.
 
We knew that a few scratches and tears
Wouldn't be enough to make them disappear.
We met, talked, smiled, ah,
LeoIzumi: And had our fair share of quarrels, didn't we?
 
There'd be no point in reaching the right answer on the first try,
TsukasaRitsu: But we already know that.
 
Even if they slip through our fingers,
They're not lost for good.
These feelings are the fragments
TsukasaArashi: Of our destiny, after all.
 
Love, blessings, and all things luminous
Make up this glimmering crown.
 
The jewels that adorn it
Are sure to be the future of our choosing…
 
A future just for us!
(Heart that has been given the crown. I know that is noble of me.)
 
Words always seem
To be toying with us.
I find myself
Losing my footing
LeoArashi: And unable to dance once again.
 
By taking your hand, I realized something very important:
That in order to truly care for each other,
Just being close isn't always enough.
 
As these feelings fill
The gaps in our cracked and aching hearts,
 
We become one with each other,
And can continue on in search of our future…
 
Toward our future!
(Heart that has been given the crown. I know that is noble of me.)
 
There may come times
Where we lose sight of what really matters,
 
But let's vow
IzumiRitsu: To live on embracing one another
Without letting go forevermore…
 
Ah! (Hoo... La la...)
 
Even in the brightest of days,
We will never be rid of those shadows.
So let's meet each other's eyes,
TsukasaLeo: And bestow to each other a gift for the ages!
 
Love, blessings, and all things luminous
Shine brightly upon this glimmering crown.
(Now, let's turn the page to a brand new day.)
 
The jewels we collected together
Adorn the days that will be our future…
A future just for us!
(Heart that has been given the crown. I know that is noble of me.)

We'll never lose sight of the light, all for that sake—

The morning sun was burning bright,

Doing away with the gloomy sky.
Rising again and again,
Dawn always arrives in the nick of time.
 
Are we running with no hesitation?
Can we see far ahead of ourselves?
We recognize our lack of power as possibility
Under this shining sky.
 
(Don't look down for your pride)
A strong wind had been beckoning us,
(Cause you shine on my sight)
"C'mon and run to the next stage!"

DAYBREAK
We keep reaching for that promised, shining future.
Let's stay true to 100% of our instincts,
And reach the heart of this world.
 
Wake up sunrise
Keep on burnin’ in the breeze
That breathtaking sky, the hope burning within,
 
Surpass them all and sing your beating heart out, o Sun!
 
Compared to those days
When I thought I was all alone,
I'm so much closer now
To knowing what true strength is.
 
(No more lies in my heart)
I have one message for all those young shadows:
(You just believe in yourself)
“Believe in what tomorrow holds in store and persevere.”
 
(No sunlight) The darkness won't last forever,
(No darkness) Nothing lasts forever,
(All I need) Dawn arrives as if to tell us that,
And our eyes will carve this moment into it…
 
I want to place this unwavering faith in myself.

We start to make something of ourselves.

It blinds out the shadows that hide underneath our smiles.

Ah, am I doing a good job? (with my Solid Soul)
Hey, I want you to watch me.

Oh, yeah… My refined passion, straight from my soul,
Oh, yeah… The answer I destroyed, and the answer I thought up,
I have my very own character1, and pride fit for a fighter.
I'll believe in them all, and march onward!

As I was thrown around by this hectic city,
I yearned to meet that elusive king of dreamers.

I pursued him through the darkness,
Despite all my hardships, and lack of any beautiful traps.

Ah, I've built up my own sense of self. (with my Solid Soul)
Now, I'll make it ring loud and clear.

Oh, yeah… This intense pressure, straight from my soul,
Oh, yeah… My singularities that I will never compromise on,
I'll use them to color the world and create the future I'm dreaming of.
I'll make it through the light!

Ah, this place is just so dazzling.
That's why I don't want to just run away.

Oh, yeah… My refined passion, straight from my soul,
Oh, yeah…The answer I destroyed, and the answer I thought up,
I have my very own character, and pride fit for a fighter.
I'll believe in them all, and march onward!

I'll color the world and create the future I'm dreaming of.
I'll make it through the light!

Once you stuff your grand dreams into the trunk,
And grab hold of the wheel, there's no goin’ back.
Who cares what others say?
Stand tall and keep driving on!
 
Now playing "Crazy Anthem"
Now driving "Crazy Anthem”
Sing out your grand dreams!
 
If we just leave everything to the GPS
That can detect all upcoming roadblocks, it'd all work out just fine.
But these days I won't even remember in the weeks ahead
Are lacking some serious drama.
 
RinneKohaku: Just when was it decided
HimeruNiki: That youth has an expiration date?
It’s still going strong,
And doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon!
 
Let's get hyped (yeah!) and sing out the song of life,
Enjoyin’ our lives all the while!
 
Even those detours (yeah!)
Turned out to be the best route.
If you can look back and think that, you hit the jackpot!
 
Now playing "Crazy Anthem"
Now driving "Crazy Anthem”
Sing out your grand dreams!
 
If you say this was all ordained by the stars,
Then that'd be all fine and dandy,
But inside? I'm still a total kid,
And my day to day is an emotional car chase.
 
HimeruKohaku: Within this ever-changing scenery,
RinneNiki: That I'm sure will one day hit me with sudden sense of nostalgia,
 
I make an unforgettable choice (choice),
RinneHimeru: The more of them the better.
That’s gotta be what they call “rich in spirit”!
 
Go off your whims (yeah!) And break free from the song of life,
Livin' greedily all the while!
 
Whether you can love (yeah!)
The past and future
All hangs on your current self.
 
NikiKohaku: Even those sharp turns
Turned out to be straightaways looking back.
NikiKohaku: Even the fork in the road,
Turned out to run off in one direction.
 
(Don't stop!)
Let's fill in the leading role.
(Don't stop!)
We're actually a perfect fit.
RinneHimeru: Doesn't that just crack you up?
 
Once you stuff your grand dreams into the trunk,
And grab hold of the wheel, there's no goin’ back.
Who cares what others say?
Stand tall—
Look how far we've come!
 
Let's get hyped (yeah!) and sing out the song of life,
Enjoyin’ our lives all the while!
 
Even those detours (yeah!)
Turned out to be the best route.
If you can look back and think that, you hit the jackpot!
 
Our trip continues on, and we keep playing this “Crazy Anthem”!
 
Now playing "Crazy Anthem"
Now driving "Crazy Anthem”
(“Crazy Anthem” woah!)
Sing out your grand dreams!
Hoo!

(Came back to the sun...)

The night set in thick,
Almost as if to hide
What's in front of us and mock us.

Can you withstand the despair rooting you in place?
(Tinged with shadows,)
(Darkness rules the world)
 
That’s what this unwelcoming city asks me.
No, I won't stay
(Tinged with shadows,)
(Call sunlight)
 
Just like cranberries scattered across the street,
The future could end up
Becoming a jumbled mess,
But I’ll reject that idea, and now—

Just because I want it back
I’m on a hunt for the truth, and the fallen light.
These hands will gently lift the sun back up
And bring in the dawn…
 
Slipping through the smallest of cracks,
The shadows settled
Onto our dazzling daily life for good.
 
With labored breath, I make it one second farther,
(Tinged with shadows,)
(Darkness rules the world)
 
I wander bruised and battered through the darkness
Of this fallen night.
(Tinged with shadows,)
(Call sunlight)

I’ve been searching for the truth this whole time,
Perhaps yearning to find
A pulse that might have leaked out
From the hole that opened up.
 
Just because I want it back
I’ll make the outline of the world I believe in show up.
No matter what, I’ll create
A future where the two of can stay here together.
 
Someone’s prayers,
Just like forgotten neon,
Seem to run through this screaming night...
 
The scattered realities
Got tangled up in what’s in fact an error,
And I can’t see them coming undone,
But I'll reject that idea, and now—
 
Just because I want it back
I’m on a hunt for the truth, and the fallen light.
As if gently taking hold of my dream, the heroes
Lift the sun back up and bring in the dawn...

Haa…

I took it for granted,
So I got too close, and lost sight of it.
 
When night follows night again and again,
The world starts to seem so dark.
 
But I'm sure the sky stays dark
Because you shine so brightly, right?
 
The words from someone dear lit a flame in you
That's been glowing this whole time, so now—
 
You can be saved— I say so.
JudeBianchi: I won't leave you all alone.
My regrets shout out, calling for me,
But I now have the words that'll set me free from them, don't I?
 
SageNicoNight is nothing to fear, right?
 
I've been chasing the object of my admiration,
And I finally made it, all on my own.
I never looked back,
Because you all stuck by me, dreaming the same dream.
 
But I'm sure the path you take
Will be yours alone to tread.
 
Those words from someone dear always shrouded us in light.
They shined so brightly,
As if to light the way back home for us.
 
I'd be yearning to see you,
If I had stayed the same old me.
I've let go of those tattered memories,
So I can keep on lighting my own path.
 
You can be saved— I say so.
I won't leave you all alone.
JudeBianchi: My regrets
Shout out, calling for me,
But I now have the words that'll set me free from them.
 
I'll always be there to shine my light on you.
I'll make this a place you can call home.
These feelings will always connect us,
So we can keep treading through
This world lit by dawn.
 
NicoJudeBianchi: Since we have a place to call home.

I've got big dreams and little dreams, and all the extra wishes in between.
There's no need to separate them, since they're all born from my feelings.
 
As each one starts glittering, my excitement revs up,
I shoot up to the edge of the universe, and a journey of endless possibilities begins!

This super super star will go even farther ☆
Oh yeah! I zoom as I accelerate!
This light's made up of all the dreams I'm wishing of,
Oh yeah! And I'm gonna become one with it.

Giving up's even more of a waste than just putting it off.
I'm not really sure what people mean by "timing" and "talent",
But I'll never doubt the power of believing in myself.

I stand tall, fully confident in all the possibilities I hold.
I'll show off my charms 1-through-10, so I want you
To show me what lies beyond them!

This space star's gonna find more space to grow ☆
Oh yeah! I'll zoom through my growing stage!
I dream of becoming the universe's #1,
Oh yeah! So have high hopes for me!

No one'll get mad at me for being "incomprehensible",
Since I'm a star-in-progress, grabbing hold of my own unique light.

With each step I take, I get closer (to my future self),
And I get now why I won't stop (until I get there).

This super super star will go even farther ☆
Oh yeah! I zoom as I accelerate!
The dreams I'm wishing of make up this very moment!

This space star's gonna find more space to grow ☆
Oh yeah! I'll zoom through my growing stage!
I dream of becoming the universe's #1,
Oh yeah! So have high hopes for me!

Could I be overconfident? Well, it's better than being unsure of myself.
I'm a star-in-progress, grabbing hold of my own unique light.

We're going to illuminate...
This "miracle".
 
I'm sure that's what you'd call these days
Where we frantically rushed ahead,
Not being on this stage
That just anyone could reach.
 
Revolution days.
MakotoJun: If you're rooted in place,
Break the limits.
HokutoHiyori: You'll never be able to surpass it.
We can make new ways.
MaoIbara: C'mon let's get going,
Just face to face.
SubaruNagisa: Towards that endless sky…
 
Right now, we're making this ensemble (All through the days.)
Where we raise each other up resound.
We call those stars (We're beyond the sky.)
That need to be polished to shine…
A "miracle".
 
My feelings that can't be drowned out by the vast darkness
Are gathered in my outstretched hand.
Let's make whatever's out there waiting for us
A more brilliant scene than ever seen before.
 
HokutoNagisa: We all have our own quirks,
SubaruHiyori: Which makes us stronger together.
We only realized so
In that instant…
 
Right now, we're making this harmony (All through the days.)
Born from our clasped hands resound.
We'll intertwine both our fingers (We're beyond the sky.)
And our frayed hearts as we perform. 
 
MakotoMao: If the meaning
IbaraJun: Of the word "bond'
Can be found within these connections,
HokutoSubaru: Yesterday, tomorrow,
NagisaHiyori: Our ideals, and our dreams:
We just need to make them resonate!
 
From each of our own stories,
(We have our own stories to show us.)
Our emotions overflow
And give birth to a song.
Let's call that a "miracle"...
 
Right now, we're resounding together, (All through the days.)
And creating our very own ensemble.
We'll reach out toward that vast sky, (We're beyond the sky.)
And become shining stars… "miracles".
 
(We are ensemble stars.) Let's reach…
(We are ensemble stars.) Even higher!

Every time I hate, I'm screaming 'til my voice runs dry.
My head's gonna go crazy with all this boredom and madness!

Don't lose myself, to these busy nights.
Light a flame and burn this darkness to the ground!
 
Can you feel the nameless anger?
That's right, burn up over and over again!
We can only get rid of this frustration by burning it to a crisp.
 
Feeling this anger
That's right, light up, just light it up.
I'll make everyone know just who I am with this resounding song!1
 
I don't need nothing, I don't care about anything,
I'll just keep screaming as my heart urges me to!
 
Diving in my heart, as deep as I can go.
I found my true feelings burning at the bottom.
 
Don't lose myself, even if I get lost,
That invisible light has been burned into my eyes.
 
Wanna feel the nameless anger
That's right, shout more, for each time
You prove that no one can steal the place where your heart belongs.
 
Feeling this anger
That's right, try more, again and again,
Embrace your raging soul that will never be quenched!
 
I don't need nothing, I don't care about anything,
I just crave what's born in this very moment.
 
JuniorFaith: Make it resound as far as you can,
Until you reach the unseen future.

Burn to the ground
From this nameless anger.

Proclaim your allegiance to the Vermilion,
And raise its flag high above this world of red and black!
HiiroMayoi: The soaring castle walls are our pitch-black pride.
Shall we show them?
The soldiers of the suits, ready to counter!
 
“Your absolute is distorted” is what all the invaders say,
As they flaunt their unbranded white cards.
What absolute sophistry!

The “grand absolute” pays no notice to you.
O Unbranded, do you and your paper-thin sense of justice
Hold any value?
 
“The one worthy of ruling over all is my lord,
And I was born to dedicate my entire being to him,”
Screams my very life and soul!
 
May the Vermilion grow strong and proud,
And raise its flag high above this world of red and black!
AiraTatsumi: We place our crimson faith in this kingdom engulfed in thorns.
We'll show them
Exactly who we are!
 
If you just live for yourself,
There's a meaning you'll never be able to grasp!
With the suit of your soul,
Believe in yourself and push on!
We are soldiers…

AiraTatsumi: We pledge allegiance to the "grand absolute"...
 
The invaders question us,
Asking what we were offered
HiiroMayoi: For our complete obedience.
It's their childish prejudice!
 
The more they proclaim their authority,
MayoiAira: The more foolish they'll seem.
But in that time, they'll come to understand
That our foundation for order
Is our unwavering patriotism!
 
My morality, dying everything, rouses my soul.
It's only natural for me to be drawn
MayoiTatsumi: To this vibrant world.

Proclaim your allegiance to the Vermilion,
And raise its flag high above this world of red and black!
HiiroMayoi: The soaring castle walls are our pitch-black pride.
We won't let
Anyone break through!
 
Overcome the limits of your imagination
HiiroAira: In order to grasp that meaning,
MayoiTatsumi: And draw across those cards.
Paint over that defiant white!
We are soldiers…
 
Wo-o-o-oh…
O resistant white, there’s nowhere for you to flee to,
MayoiAira: For here lies the burning red
HiiroTatsumi: And seething black
Kingdom of Vermilion!
 
Wo-o-o-oh…
HiiroTatsumi: Oh, resistant white, it's time to choose.
MayoiAira: For within this raided fortress
Each carries his own fated suit!
 
May the Vermilion grow strong and proud,
And raise its flag high above this world of red and black!
We place our crimson faith in this kingdom engulfed in thorns.
We'll show them
Exactly who we are!
 
If you just live for yourself,
There's a meaning you'll never be able to grasp!
With the suit of your soul,
Believe in yourself and push on!
We are soldiers…
 
Vermilion, Vermilion, a world of red and black…
Everything's dyed in this perfect world.
Vermilion, Vermilion, paint over the white!
MayoiAiraTatsumi: Under the "absolute",
We are soldiers…
