**Japanese Lyrics**
遠くにいる君を じっとみつめた Oh

舞い散る花びら 僕の気持ちみたい

Yes, beautiful world 恋をしたら

すべてが美しい

「Hello」と言う声が 僕を見つめるその瞳が

眩しいひかりを宿す 僕の

世界を 照らして

優しさが溢れてる

変わっていくのが 楽しいだけ

君を笑わせたくて そう だから今

Stay 変わらずにいて

このまま ずっとずっと

さあ シャッターを切るよ

しまっておきたいから

輝く今を So stay

Just stay Just stay still Just stay

笑顔で もっともっと

またシャッターを切るよ

離したくないから

輝く今を So stay

時間を止める方法

そんな事は知らないけど

目のピントを合わせて 集中!

「パシャ」やっぱりいいじゃん

心地よい音と 爽やかな景色まで Right？

優しさが溢れてる

変わっていくのが 楽しいだけ

君がいない 明日 想像もできないから

Stay 変わらずにいて

このまま ずっとずっと

さあ シャッターを切るよ

しまっておきたいから

輝く今を So stay

Just stay Just stay still Just stay

笑顔で もっともっと

またシャッターを切るよ

離したくないから

輝く今を So stay

Hmm 約束しよう 青い木の下で yeah

いつまでも忘れないこと

今日を記録

覚えててね

Stay 変わらぬ心

またシャッターを切るよ

輝く今を

Just stay Just stay still Just stay

I stared at you while you were far away, oh

The falling flower petals are like how I feel

Yes, beautiful world, when I fall in love

Everything is beautiful

Your voice that says "hello", your eyes that look at me

Carry a dazzling light

And illuminate my world

Overflowing with kindness,

It's just fun to have change

I want to make you laugh, yeah, so now

Stay unchanged

Stay like this forever and ever

Now, release the camera shutter

I want it to be like this

So stay in this shining moment

Just stay, just stay still, just stay

With a smile more and more

Release the shutter again

Because I don't want to be apart

So stay in this shining moment

Even though I don't know

How to stop time

I just focus my eyes and concentrate!

"Flash"[a] It’s as good as I thought

Up to the pleasant sounds and refreshing scenery, right?

Overflowing with kindness,

It's just fun to have change

Because I can't even imagine a tomorrow without you

Stay unchanged

Stay like this forever and ever

Now, release the camera shutter

I want it to be like this

So stay in this shining moment

Just stay, just stay still, just stay

With a smile more and more

Release the shutter again

Because I don't want to be apart

So stay in this shining moment

Hmm, let's make a promise under the green trees,yeah

That we'll never forget this

Remember how

We recorded today, okay?

Stay, our unchanging hearts

Release the shutter again

In this shining moment

Just stay, just stay still, just stay
