消せない過去を 激しく憎んだ
世界が全部 逆さまに見えた
おんぼろ自転車で 小高い丘から
真っ直ぐな気持ちで 坂道駆け下りた
風になれた
やがて街を抜けて 広がる景色
この世界の真実は
空と 宇宙と 君と
確かな気持ちだったんだ
だから シンフォニー 今はまだ小さな光の中
揺るぎない力強さを 歌に託すのさ
やがて セレモニー いつかこの大きな交響詩を
鳴らそうぜ もっと フルボリュームに
まるで 銀河のパレード
消せない過去に さよならできるさ
土砂降りになっても 大きく笑うのさ

I intensely hated the indelible past
The whole world seemed upside-down!
From the hill, on a rickety bicycle,
My feelings ran down a straight slope
I became the wind
Down a long street, my view expanded
The truth of this world is
The air and space and you
Made me feel a certain way...
That's why, a symphony, now it's still in the little light
The unwavering strength to commit to the song
Before long, a ceremony, one day this long symphonic poem
Will ring out more in full volume
It's like a parade of the galaxy!
I can say goodbye to the indelible past...
Even when it's raining cats and dogs, I'll laugh even louder!

だから シンフォニー 今はまだ小さな光の中
揺るぎない力強さを 歌に託すのさ
やがて セレモニー いつかこの大きな交響詩を
鳴らそうぜ もっと フルボリュームに
憂鬱な過去に 捕われた世界
窮屈なスタイルに 苛立ち覚えた
古ぼけたシャツに さよならしなくちゃ
もうこれで最後さって 笑い合えるならば
街を抜けて 広がる世界で
違う光を 見つけられるのさ
つまり それが 今の
確かな気持ちだったんだ
だから シンフォニー 今はまだ微かな光の中
変わらない胸の痛みも 歌に変えるのさ
それが ディスティニー きっと素晴らしき交響詩が
響きだす そっと闇の向こうで
鳴らせ シンフォニー 未だこの小さな光の中
揺るぎない力強さを 歌に託すのさ
これが そう あの セレモニーなんだ
響け もっと フルボリュームに
まるで 銀河のパレード
消せない過去に さよならできるさ
土砂降りになっても 大きく笑うのさ
心配ないさ 明日は晴れるさ
空と宇宙と 君と誰かと
きっとどこかで 必ず繋がる
闇と光と 深さと距離と
ずっと遠くて だけど近くて
過去と未来と 永久と刹那と
街と 風と 広がる景色と…

Trivia
- Little Rock Overture is one of the Right outdoors' stage unlocks of pop'n music 16 PARTY♪'s Atsumare! pop'n PARTY♪ (あつまれ!ポップンパーティー♪) event. It could be unlocked from July 2nd, 2008.
- From August 6th, 2008, it is available by default.
- Little Rock Overture is the first new song in the pop'n music series that features lead vocals by Kiyotaka Sugimoto since pop'n music 5.
- According to Kiyotaka Sugimoto in his pop'n music request best! comments for Little Rock Overture, he was originally requested by wac to compose a vocal song like his songs from the early pop'n music days, but he turned wac down, jokingly replying that "if you would compose a song for me, I would gladly put my vocals on it".
- He also mentions that wac had trouble composing Little Rock Overture. Furthermore, according to mayo's Staff Comments, Little Rock Overture was a late addition to the game.
- The artist name, "Wakusei keikaku" (惑星計画), was originally the title that Kiyotaka came up for the song, but wac rejected it as a title (Little Rock Overture was instead named by wac).
- Little Rock Overture appears as DLC for the American version of pop'n music, in the Japanese Rock pack, where Little Rock Overture's artist is romanized as WAKUSEI KEIKAKU.
- Little Rock Overture's jacket is taken from its square card from the pop'n music request best! album.
- Little Rock Overture can be unlocked in pop'n music Lively from January 1st, 2025 to March 5th, 2025 as a Kikan gentei quest (期間限定クエスト).
