## Lyrics

**Japanese**

鮮やかに　恋して　にんじゃりばんばん

なんだか　にんじゃりばんばん

bloom bloom bloom　花びらも舞う

飛んでけ　にんじゃりばんばん

常識を変えたら　驚きが日常に

どうして　にんじゃりばんばん

愛して　にんじゃりばんばん

Ring Ring Ring　鳴らないメロディー

ふんわり　煙に巻き

空を駆けるのは　にんにんにん　キミだけだから

見えていたものが　七色に

変わる時　キミはきっと

手をのばしても触れない光のようだから

鮮やかに　恋して　にんじゃりばんばん

なんだか　にんじゃりばんばん

bloom bloom bloom　花びらも舞う

飛んでけ　にんじゃりばんばん

常識を変えたら　驚きが日常に

どうして　にんじゃりばんばん

愛して　にんじゃりばんばん

Ring Ring Ring　鳴らないメロディー

ふんわり　煙に巻き

空を駆けるのは　にんにんにん　キミだけだから

どんな色にもならないで

キミは街を染めるよ

広がってゆくね　転がる巻物みたいな

道を作る

鮮やかに　恋して　にんじゃりばんばん

なんだか　にんじゃりばんばん

bloom bloom bloom　花びらも舞う

飛んでけ　にんじゃりばんばん

常識を変えたら　驚きが日常に

どうして　にんじゃりばんばん

愛して　にんじゃりばんばん

Ring Ring Ring　鳴らないメロディー

ふんわり　煙に巻き

空を駆けるのは　にんにんにん　キミだけだから

鮮やかに　恋して　にんじゃりばんばん

なんだか　にんじゃりばんばん

bloom bloom bloom　花びらも舞う

飛んでけ　にんじゃりばんばん

常識を変えたら　驚きが日常に

どうして　にんじゃりばんばん

愛して　にんじゃりばんばん

Ring Ring Ring　鳴らないメロディー

ふんわり　煙に巻き

空を駆けるのは　にんにんにん　キミだけだから

Love vividly, Ninja re bang bang
It's somewhat Ninja re bang bang
bloom bloom bloom flower petals drift down in the air
Go fly now Ninja re bang bang
Change your mind about the common sense

Why? Ninja re bang bang
Love me Ninja re bang bang
Ring Ring Ring a melody that doesn't ring
Softly, I'll leave you mystified
Running in the sky nin nin nin
Only you who can do that
When your vision transform
into the color of rainbow, surely
You'll become like a light

Love vividly, Ninja re bang bang
It's somewhat Ninja re bang bang
bloom bloom bloom flower petals drift down in the air
Go fly now Ninja re bang bang
Change your mind about the common sense

Love me Ninja re bang bang
Ring Ring Ring a melody that doesn't ring
Softly, I'll leave you mystified
Running in the sky nin nin nin
Only you who can do that
Don't be any color
You'll be painting the colors of the whole city
Spreading, like a rolling scroll
You will make a path

Love vividly, Ninja re bang bang
It's somewhat Ninja re bang bang
bloom bloom bloom flower petals drift down in the air
Go fly now Ninja re bang bang
Change your mind about the common sense

Why? Ninja re bang bang
Love me Ninja re bang bang
Ring Ring Ring a melody that doesn't ring
Softly, I'll leave you mystified
Running in the sky nin nin nin
Only you who can do that
