Lyrics

Japanese

舞い上がれ・・・!

自然が飛び交う夜の始まりは誰も愛を探して
出会えた奇跡を感じたよ貴方に
ときめく恋は止まらない

光の花火で不安に咲き乱れた世界は回る
やっぱり貴方がいないと No Non No, Wow!

バチバチ Heart night, into night
そう奪われちゃったらつまらない　命がけ
バチバチ How now be in my heart
熱く燃えて
舞い上がれ・・・!

Romaji

maiagare...!

shizen ga tobikau yoru no hajimari wa dare mo ga ai wo sagashite
deaeta kiseki wo kanjita yo anata ni
tokimeku koi wa tomaranai

hikari no hanabi de fuan ni sakimidareta sekai wa mawaru
yappari anata ga inai to No Non No, Wow!

bachi bachi Heart night, into night
sou ubaware chattara tsumarenai inochigake
bachi bachi How now be in my heart
atsuku moete
maiagare...!

Song Production Information

Kanako Hoshino

This song was written by Keiichi Ueno, who wrote songs for artists such as MAX, but I never thought that the person who wrote songs I sang at karaoke when I was young, would write a song for me, and I felt very moved.
This song has a pop tune, and whenever I listen to it, it feels like a premonition of love or motivation to do something, but anyways, I really like this song since it makes me feel excited that something is about to start. I wonder if it also suits Hoshino's voice (^-^)
The lyrics are also impactful and easy to remember (try to listen carefully), and it's very lovely☆ I also appeared in a movie for the first time, and challenged acting and choreography by practicing many times (laughs).
I'd like everyone to perform the chorus choreography at a live show, which is must-see!
Please practice it ＼(~o~)／ Let's burst with "SPARK!" in the summer!!!

Video Production Information

DAISUKE

Huh, the key point of this choreography is the "heart" lyric which suits the cute Hoshino.
That "heart" is filled with love, sadness, flirt, and wow!
While waiting to play it, by all means, please try to make a "heart". 5 lucky people may or may not win a "SPARK ! choreography instruction video" in a lottery.

yagi-denko

When I had an image of the opening chorus' open feeling as my first impression, the thought of Kanako Hoshino singing with a piercing, refreshing blue sky in the background came to my mind.
After that, I had the opportunity to hear a summary of this game version, and that its title was "HAPPY SKY".
It's just nice, isn't it!
I thought that the most effective way to directly express this open feeling and cutback is to express the girl's sentimental feelings in the lyrics.
I included several situations such as a noisy image and a glittering, piercing blue sky, so please enjoy this song and video together.
