Lyrics
Japanese
Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998 衝撃の波が押し寄せ 眠る鼓動 呼び覚ました 戻れない Be Rock U (Go Go Go Come on!) 1998 (Go Go) Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998 強い一筋の光線(ひかり)が 闇を裂いて 誘うままに走った Be Rock U 1998 (Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Come on!) この魂(こころ)を 解き放った…… 自由なのか? 孤独なのか? Yes! I can get the HYPER-BEAT in 2003 強い一筋の光線(ひかり)が 今 新たな 進化型を導き出している……
