---(Hifumi Izanami)---

What' s up?
How are you doing?
It's time for this show to begin

Now, are you ready? OK? Yeah

I'm inviting you to the best night of your life

Say BYE BYE to this dark, dismal mood

MY LIFE depends on my mindset

If I keep my chin up, life gets better

If I'm gloomy, things get worse

The point is you have to be in the right frame of mind, BRO

Not tomorrow, now

Let go of your worries

Let's enjoy today as best we can

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Even if you say that...

When I think about tomorrow, I can't enjoy myself...

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Tomorrow is tomorrow, leave it to the wind

Thinking about it now won't change anything

Look at what's shining right here in front of you

It's sad to be so downcast that you can't see it

Just IMAGINE the stage lights

The scenery is beautiful

The drinks are delicious

It's a world where everything is full of fun

The rest is up to you

The world is full of light

Just over the wall

You'll see the sky, standing side by side

Today is the best day of your life

Tomorrow's winds will blow tomorrow

So just go with the flow

If you spend all your time worrying

The view will never change

So KEEP ON MOVING

KEEP ON SHINING Yeah

You don’t need to worry

There is only right now

全てが楽しいことだらけの世界

あとは自分次第

明日は明日の風を

悩んでばっかいても

景色は変わらないだろう

だからそう KEEP ON MOVING

KEEP ON SHINING Yeah

不安はいらない

## **Trivia**

* This song was also featured in Battle of Pride.
* In the Track 4 version of this song, Doppo stays and dances along with the final repetitions of the chorus. In Battle of Pride, he leaves dejected after the first chorus, which serves as a transition to his song "Rain" (雨).
