Issai bureeki nante nai

Hashire hashire hashire

Shou mo nai mono wo kyou mo oikakeru

Shou mo nai ore ni kyou mo toikakeru

“shouki janai” hyaku mo shouchi

Dou shiyou mo nai yume ni subete wo kakeru

Zatsuon mo todokanai supiido

Kensou no machi tobidashi ippo riido

Ore no jisho ni wa nai shinchou ya shinbou

Susumu saki no zenbu ga ao shingou

Tsuite ki na mikata ka teki ka janai

Teki mo mikata ni nacchau you na tejina

Shougai wo gekiha heiwa na kagekiha

Mekuru peeji wa tsugi no eria

All Day, All Night, OK!

Mezasu wa No Pain de More Gain

Ajia, afurika, nanbei, oubei

Kono chikyuu jou no subete tanoshimou ze

**English Translation**
No brakes at all

I’m the world’s unpredictable

can fly even without wings

Run Run Run

Never let you catch me

but won’t leave you behind

Let’s go together as to fly

Run Run Run

Still chasing after useless junk

Still asking questions to hopeless me

“Insane?” I’m fully aware

Bet everything on silly dreams

speed, even noise can’t reach

rush out from bustling city, a step ahead of you

“caution” and “patience” are not in my dictionary

All the lights are green ahead of me

​Follow me, it doesn’t matter friend or foe

It’s a magic as if enermy becomes buddy

destroy the obstacles, peaceful extremist

flip the page to the next area

All Day, All Night, OK!

aim for no pain but more gain

Asia, Africa, South America, Western world

Let’s enjoy everything on this globe

No brakes at all

I’m the world’s unpredictable

can fly without wings

Run Run Run

Never let you catch me

but won’t leave you behind

Let’s go together as to fly

Run Run Run

Play with full attention

this is all my place

impossible to tie me down

Let’s skyrocket from star to star

Play with full attention

This is all my place

impossible to tie me down

Run Run Run

There’s no time to worry

want to love the anxiety and trouble

Out Of Control

better than yesterday, then better then today

Let’s throw ourselves into the laughable fantasy

Enough to swallow tomorrow as planned

Welcome crises. The decision becomes the scene

Large screen projecting my life

Somebody’s hope and somebody’s hero

Leave it me, I’m the No.1 hero

I’ll repaint tears of the past

Let’s meet in the future with laughter

Are you ready? Who’s next?

It’s always my turn from beginning to end

No brakes at all

I’m the world’s unpredictable

can fly without wings

Run Run Run

Never let you catch me

but won’t leave you behind

Let’s go together as to fly

Run Run Run

Play with full attention

This is all my place

impossible to tie me down

Let’s skyrocket from star to star

Play with full attention

This is all my place

impossible to tie me down

Run Run Run

**Japanese Lyrics**
一切ブレーキなんてない

俺は世界の想定外

翼なんてなくてもFly

走れ 走れ 走れ

絶対追いつかせない

だけど置いてくんじゃない

一緒に行こうぜ飛んじゃうくらい

走れ 走れ 走れ

しょうもない物を今日も追いかける

しょうもない俺に今日も問いかける

“正気じゃない”百も承知

どうしようもない夢に全てを賭ける

雑音も届かないスピード

喧騒の街飛び出し一歩リード

俺の辞書には無い慎重や辛抱

進む先の全部が青信号

付いてきな 味方か敵かじゃない

敵も味方になっちゃう様な手品

障害を撃破 平和な過激派

めくるページは次のエリア

All Day, All Night, OK!

目指すはNo PainでMore Gain

アジア、アフリカ、南米、欧米

この地球上の全て楽しもうぜ

一切ブレーキなんてない

俺は世界の想定外

翼なんてなくてもFly

走れ 走れ 走れ

絶対追いつかせない

だけど置いてくんじゃない

一緒にいこうぜ飛んじゃうくらい

走れ 走れ 走れ

脇目も振らず遊ぶ

ここ全部俺の場所

縛るのなんて不可能

星から星までぶっ飛ばそう

脇目も振らず遊ぶ

ここ全部俺の場所

縛るのなんて不可能

走れ 走れ 走れ

悩んでる暇ないぜ

その不安もトラブルも愛したいね

Out Of Control

昨日以上そんで今日以上

笑われそうな妄想に身を投じよう

予定通りの明日を飲み込むほど

ピンチも歓迎　決断は場面

人生をスクリーンに映す大画面

誰かの希望で誰かのヒーロー

任せなよ俺がNo.1主人公

涙の過去 塗り替えてやろう

笑い声の未来の中で会おう

準備はいいか 次誰の番？

最初から最後まで俺のターン

一切ブレーキなんてない

俺は世界の想定外

翼なんてなくてもFly

走れ 走れ 走れ

絶対追いつかせない

だけど置いてくんじゃない

一緒に行こうぜ飛んじゃうくらい

走れ 走れ 走れ

脇目も振らず遊ぶ

ここ全部俺の場所

縛るのなんて不可能

星から星までぶっ飛ばそう

脇目も振らず遊ぶ

ここ全部俺の場所

縛るのなんて不可能

走れ 走れ 走れ
