Hajimaru! Shōtaimu!

A sea of despair, a sealed door

An uncounted fading light, The sweet whispers of darkness.

These emotions torn by antinomy, Which one is it? I don't know.

Forcing everything with strength. Surely something will change, won't it?
But why "I can't, I can't.", cannot move.

The connected, the intertwining, the sounds of love, and our words
Though bound by karma, I won't run away, since the only one who can surpass me is myself

To grasp tomorrow, is not hatred or its kind.
Smile make people became strong
Slash through the darkness, push forth .
Even in the toughest time, smile.
I do believe in myself
I'll surely believe

Start now! Showtime!

Un mare di disperazione, una porta chiusa.

Nessun posto dove andare, una luce affievolita. I dolci sussurri delle tenebre.

Le emozioni strappate tra sentimenti ideali contrastanti, Non so quale scegliere!

Anche se percorro la mia strada con la forza, cosa potra mai cambiare?
Non importa quello che faccio perchè, "io non posso", non posso muovermi.

I legami, l'impegno, il suono dell'amore, i singoli mondi,
afferra il tuo destino, non si può sfuggire perchè
"Solo io posso superare me stesso!"

Non è l'odio ciò che creerà il domani.
Sorridere è ciò che rende più forte la gente!
Fai breccia nelle tenebre e vai avanti,
quando tu lotti, quello è il tempo di sorridere!
Io credo in me stesso!
Certo io ci credo!

Iniziamo ora lo show!

Hajimaru
Showtime!

A sea of despair, a closed door

The light that will soon disappear
The sweetly whispering darkness
These feelings torn by antimony
Which one is it? I don't know

Even if I'm held down with all strength
Something has changed, hasn't it?
But no matter what, I can't, I can't, can't move

Tied together, linked by bonds, the sound of love, our words
Bearing karma, I won't run away
Because the only one who can surpass me is myself

Hatred and its kind will not build tomorrow
Smiles make people become strong
Push through darkness and advance
Smile even in the toughest times
I do believe in myself
I'll surely believe!

It starts! Showtime!

If I cover myself with mass-produced products
Will my pain disappear?
If I blow out the light in my eyes
Will life become easy for me?

At the edge of the bog of wondering to myself
The morning again sneers
Why is it? I can't, I can't, can't understand

Fighting, running away, everything depends on your decision
The pendulum cannot be stopped, it'll approach repeatedly
A nameless feeling throbs in my heart

It's impossible for anyone to decide what's impossible
No matter how far, I think I can fly
Instead of drowning in despair
Even if it's futile, advance
I do believe in the light
It won't disappear
The light of hope

It's painful, I'm afraid, but even so, I won't forsake
My own possibilities, this precious life
I'll live on, you gotta live on, the curtain has just been raised!

The clouds that had dominated the sky
I will go to tear them apart
Hesitation and everything will become dust

Hatred and its kind will not build tomorrow
Smiles make people become strong
Push through darkness and advance
Smile even in the toughest times
I do believe in myself
I'll surely believe!

It starts! Showtime!
