from [(an imitation) blood orange] album.

Let’s abandon our work for awhile
And just go somewhere faraway
Karuizawa, Hawaii, no, Everest
Let’s dream about the world for a second

Wow… Oh Wow
A cheer for myself!
Wow… Oh Wow
If you’re troubled, you can never begin

In this world that changes in the blink of an eye
We’re so cramped these days that we stand knee to knee
Shall we imitate the ones before us? Or the ones to the right?
Their honour roll student mode
But I believe
In the unchanging
Tune that always plays in my heart
Whenever I feel sad, this high-spirited
Happy Song, let’s sing it

The crowd passing me by
Directs these looks of pity at me
While stuffing popcorn into their faces with both hands
But let’s dash towards tomorrow

Wow… Oh Wow
A cheer for you!
Wow… Oh Wow
Don’t stop, just move forward

“I just want to live a relaxed life”
These days, such words are often spoken
Like a dog that can’t bark, birds without wings
A broadcasting code
But I believe
Never forgetting
The tune that plays in my heart even today
Holding hands with the lonely yesterday
Happy Song, let’s sing it

No matter what kind of future awaits
I need to go to see the scenery as it pans out
It’ll definitely be tedious and depressing
And crowded with new enemies, but
Come!

In this world that changes in the blink of an eye
We’re so cramped these days that we stand knee to knee
Shall we imitate the ones before us? Or the ones to the right?
Their honour roll student mode
But I believe
In the unchanging
Tune that always plays in my heart
Whenever I feel sad, this optimistic
Happy Song, let’s sing it

Holding hands with the lonely yesterday
Happy Song, let’s sing it
