Hey! Hey! orera yama kaze no toujou
kourei no houkou mukete mata koubou
kekka nokoshitsu imada mada houtou musuko kanaderu "anatakata" koukou
    Hey! Hey! We are at the mountain, the wind appears
    Heading for the highest peak and on the offensive/defensive again
    Showing results, but still debauchery, your son playing "for you" filial piety

Jazz band, Hip Hop torikonde iku
korekoso gozonji no Hip na Pop (That's right)
"oto to kotoba tsumugi egaku geijitsu"
ima made korekara mo kono mentsu desu
    A jazz band introduces Hip Hop
    that's exactly, as you know, Hip Pop (That's right)
    "An art of spinning images from sound and words"
    Up til now and from now on with these members (1)

Kono mentsu de (yeah) todokeru ze (yeah)
rekishi no peeji o ima mekure
(World is mine)
jidai is mine
mirai is mine
amaterasu terasu sunshine
    With these members (yeah) I can convey it (yeah)
    Now we're turning over a page in history
    (The world is mine)
    The era is mine
    The future is mine
    Sunshine shining on Amaterasu (2)

Daisotsu no aidoru ga taitoru o ubaitoru
maiku mochi pen mochi taitoru o ubaitoru
hip-pop beat yo
suteejijou shuushinkoyou
    This university-graduated idol will steal the title from her
    Holding a mic, holding a pen, I'll steal the title from her
    hip-pop beat yo
    A lifetime employment on stage

Michi naki michi o aruiteku
geigou sezu tada maipeesu
ima ieru ima naraba ieru
maiteta tanetachi saiteku
    I'll walk a path with no path
    Without making any flattery just at my pace
    I can say it now, I can say it if it's now
    The seeds I sowed begin to bloom

Somebody (yeah) Everybody (yeah)
ima jidai ga te no naka ni (yeah yeah)
Pass da mic.
Pass da pen.
kono mic and pen de Rock the world
    Somebody (yeah) Everybody (yeah)
    The era is now in your hands (yeah yeah)
    Pass da mic.
    Pass da pen.
    With this mic and pen I'll Rock the world

Konna yukkuri de ii n datte konna orera datte demo ii n datte

kono daisougen no saki ni wa nani ga matteiru no darou
michi ga nai nara tsukureba ii sono saki tatoe hateteita to shitemo
    I mean we can go this slow, I mean this us is alright
    We can even see scenery even this... this place we came to
    I wonder what is waiting on the other side of this wide plain
    If there's no road we just have to make one, even if we're exhausted at the end

Kore ga saisho no taito na paionia
kitto warau ze saigo ni wa
kore ga saisho de saigo no paionia
kitto warau ze saigo ni wa
    This is the first tight pioneer
    Surely I'll be laughing in the end
    This is the first and last pioneer
    Surely I'll be laughing in the end

Kazari de naku gaiya damarikomu lyrical idol mawari o makikomu
sou HIP na POPSTAR
This isn't a display, the outfield falls silent as this lyrical idol drags everyone nearby in
Yeah, a HIP POPSTAR

Michi naki michi o aruiteku
geigou sezu tada maipeesu
I'll walk a path with no path
Without making any flattery just at my pace

Ima ieru ima naraba ieru
maiteta tanetachi saiteku
I can say it now, I can say it if it's now
The seeds I sowed begin to bloom

Kitto zutto ippotsuukou
warui ga ore saki isogu zo
(shuugou) tsuzuuraura yaoyorozu no chou
banbutsu ni yadori shi kamigami no ko
hito no ue shita ni hito tsukuranu nara
ore ga sono ten no itadaki itadaku
"shibaraku..." to ka de naku uh
ima mazu nani ga dekiru ka de shika mou kawaran
    Surely, always, going one way
    Sorry, I'm going to hurry ahead
    (get together) all over the country, infinite
    The children of various gods dwelling in all creation
    If you can't decide what people go above, below people then
    I'll gladly accept the highest place
    Not "for awhile..." and so on
    First of all what can we do now is the only thing that doesn't change

What's going on?
nani ka chigau to omowanai kai?
What's going on?
anna dai no otona ga
What's going on?
nonoshiriai taikai
    What's going on?
    Don't you think something's wrong?
    What's going on?
    Those big adults are
    What's going on?
    having a big swearing contest

Nante bokura wa mitakunai n dai
We don't want to see anything like that

Kou narya mou... sou sakimidareru
hongyou no katagata kao shikameru
If it comes to this... yeah, bloom profusely
Everyone who does this for a living raises their eyebrows

Onshitsu no zassou ga maiku motsu RAP SONG
"MY LIFE IS MY MESSAGE"
Weeds in the greenhouse are a RAP SONG with a mic
"MY LIFE IS MY MESSAGE"

Michi naki michi o aruiteku
geigou sezu tada maipeesu
I'll walk a path with no path
Without making any flattery just at my pace

Ima ieru ima naraba ieru
maiteta tanetachi saiteku
I can say it now, I can say it if it's now
The seeds I sowed begin to bloom

Michi naki michi o aruiteku
geigou sezu tada maipeesu
I'll walk a path with no path
Without making any flattery just at my pace

Ima ieru ima naraba ieru
maiteta tanetachi saiteku
I can say it now, I can say it if it's now
The seeds I sowed begin to bloom

Notes;
1) 'mentsu' has a variety of meanings including but not limited to face, members (of a group), and honour. I chose the one that made the most sense with the lyrics
2) Amaterasu is the Japanese Sun Goddess
