Lyrics
Japanese
I wanna be a pop star 君をもっと夢中にさせてあげるからね キラキラのpop star 羽根を広げ魔法をかけてあげよう君だけに 君に出会えた喜びと君に会えない淋しさの 両方を手に入れて恋は走り出す 空も飛べない僕だけど 孤独を謳う夜だけど その頬に 微笑みを与えられたなら 初めて君を抱きしめた瞬間に 神様が僕に下した使命は君だけのヒーロー I wanna be a pop star 君をもっと夢中にさせてあげるからね キラキラのpop star 羽根を広げ 魔法をかけてあげよう I wanna be a pop star 君をぎゅっと 抱きしめてあげるからおいで キラキラのpop star 羽根を広げ 魔法をかけてあげよう 君だけに
