English
The moment when the world sparkles
I want to experience it
Take a look around at these visions
Everything suddenly merges together
Like the sun and the moon (An afterimage of the revolving sky)
Linking together when they meet (Echoing out)
Chasing the shape of a daredevil's daydream
Becoming surrounded as it spreads
The moment when the world sparkles
I want to experience it
Take a look around at these visions
Leaping through space
The moment when we overtake the future
It's always like this
Having seen these visions
Our worlds merge together

Take a look around at these visions leaping through space
The moment when we overtake the future
It's always like this
Having seen these visions, our worlds merge together
Like the beginning and the end (The echoes' emotion)
If you follow the memories, you'll be linked together (Blending into one)
The ever-shifting dream's puzzle
Is so beautiful it's infuriating
That moment when I leap away from the world, no matter what I want to see it
Now, I'm running towards an unfamiliar landscape
The yesterday where I was anxious about the future
Is far away; today I'm not worried anymore
The visions distorted, and our worlds overlapped
Honestly, this world was always waiting for me
Honestly, I was always waiting for you
Overlapping voices echo out far and wide
You can hear it, right? Open your eyes
It's time for the story to start!
I want to experience the moment when the world sparkles
Take a look around at these visions leaping through space
The moment when we overtake the future
It's always like this
Having seen these visions, our worlds merge together
