* English

Asu wo mada shinjiteru kara
[Himika/Azuki] Kokoro tsunagi “ima” wo ikiru

Kasukana hikari ni kibou to nazukete
Daiji ni gyutto dakishimetanda
[Azuki/Yuki] Bokura wa genkai nante mitomecha inai yo
Kokoro ga ugokeba [Azuki/Yuki] mirai wa kawaru

Omoi tsunagi negau asu no
[Miyu/Saki] Dejavu oikake saa fumidase

Samenai yume no hotetta binetsu no naka bokura
Akireru kurai zenryoku de kyou wo agaku
“Hitori ja nai yo” sono koe ga michibiku hou he hashire
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Bokura wo matsu tsugi no basho made
Kokoro kasanete unmei koete
“Ima” wo ikinuke

Itsukara touzen datte omotteta no kana
Daiji na koto hodo mienai ne
Bokura kouyatte deai isshoni iru kyou wa
Ikutsu no kiseki kara umaretan darou?

Kokoro musubi negau asu wo
[Miyu/Azuki] Shinjite “ima” wo tsunage [Miyu/Saki/Azuki] mirai he

Samenai yume ni nari hibiku munasawagi no naka
Bukiyou na mama hisshi ni omoi wo sakebu
“Akiramenaide” sono koe ga kikoeta hou he hashire
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Koi kogareta ano takami made

Yubi no sukima kara koboreru tabi
[Himika/Yu/Saki] Hiroi atsumete [Himika/Yu] dakishimeru kibou no hikari
[Himika/Yu] Ima [Himika/Yu/Saki] “puraido” to iu namida ni
[Himika/Yu/Saki] Kagayaki mashite yuku

Samenai yume no hotetta binetsu no naka bokura
Bukakkou demo zenryoku de kyou wo agaku
“Hitori ja nai yo” sono koe ga michibiku hou he hashire
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Bokura wo matsu tsugi no basho made
Kokoro kasanete unmei koete
“Ima” wo ikinuke

明日を　まだ信じてるから
心　つなぎ“今”を生きる

かすかな光に　希望と名づけて
大事にギュッと抱きしめたんだ
僕らは　限界なんて　認めちゃいないよ
心が動けば　未来は変わる

想い　つなぎ　願う　明日の
デジャヴ　追いかけ　さあ　踏み出せ

覚めない夢の　火照った微熱の中　僕ら
呆れるくらい　全力で今日をあがく
“一人じゃないよ” その声が導く方へ走れ
NEXTEP NEXTAGE(ネクステップ・ネクステージ)
僕らを待つ　次の場所まで
心 かさねて　運命　越えて
“今”を生き抜け

いつから当然だって　思ってたのかな
大事なコトほど視えないね
僕らこうやって出逢い　一緒にいる今日は
幾つの奇跡から生まれたんだろう？

心 結び　願う　明日を
信じて“今”をつなげ　未来へ

覚めない夢に　鳴り響く胸騒ぎの中
不器用なまま　必死に想いを叫ぶ
“諦めないで” その声が聴こえた方へ走れ
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
恋い焦がれた　あの高みまで

指の隙間から　こぼれるたび
拾い集めて　抱きしめる　希望の光
今“プライド”という涙に
輝き増してゆく

覚めない夢の　火照った微熱の中 僕ら
不格好でも　全力で今日をあがく
“一人じゃないよ”その声が導く方へ走れ
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
僕らを待つ　次の場所まで
心　かさねて　運命　越えて
“今”を生き抜け

Because we still believe in tomorrow
Our hearts will live through its connection to “now”

Naming that faint light as hope
We embraced it carefully and tightly
We won’t recognize things like limits
As long as our hearts move, we will change the future

Emotions link to prayers, as we
Chase after tomorrow’s déjà vu, come, step out

Within the burning fever of an everlasting dream, we
Struggled in today with all our mights to an astounding degree
“You’re not alone”, run in the direction led by that voice
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Is waiting for us, till the next place
Layering our hearts, overcoming destiny
Survive “now”

Since when did we start thinking of it as ordinary
That precious things can’t be seen?
We’ve met like this, and today which we’re together
Was born from numerous miracles, right?

Hearts connect to prayers, as we
Believe in tomorrow and connect the future to “now”

With thundering hearbeats in an everlasting dream
We scream out our feelings desperately, awkwardly
“Don’t give up”, run in the direction of that voice
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Until that yearned for peak

Every time it leaks from between our fingers
We gather and embrace the light of hope
Now, it shines even brighter
Through these tears known as “pride”

Within the burning fever of an everlasting dream, we
Struggled in today with all our mights, even if we lose our cool
“You’re not alone”, run in the direction led by that voice
NEXTEP NEXTAGE
Is waiting for us, till the next place
Layering our hearts, overcoming destiny
Survive “now”
