Kanji= I say Hey, hey, hey start dash Hey, hey, hey start dash

うぶ毛の小鳥たちも いつか空に羽ばたく 大きな強い翼で飛ぶ

諦めちゃダメなんだ その日が絶対来る 君も感じてるよね 始まりの鼓動

明日よ変われ! 希望に変われ! 眩しい光に照らされて変われ start!!

悲しみに閉ざされて 泣くだけの君じゃない 熱い胸　きっと未来を切り開く筈さ 悲しみに閉ざされて 泣くだけじゃつまらない きっと (きっと) 君の (夢の) チカラ (いまを) 動かすチカラ 信じてるよ…だから start!!

Hey, hey, hey start dash Hey, hey, hey start dash

雨上がりの気分で 高まる期待のなか 躓いたことさえも 思い出にしよう

明日が咲くよ! 希望が咲くよ! 楽しいメロディー口ずさみ咲いた DASH!!

喜びを受けとめて 君と僕つながろう 迷い道　やっと外へ抜けだした筈さ 喜びを受けとめて 君と僕　進むだろう それは (それは) 遠い (夢の) カケラ (だけど) 愛しいカケラ 彼方へと…僕は dash!!

またひとつ　夢が生まれ…

悲しみに閉ざされて 泣くだけの君じゃない 熱い胸　きっと未来を切り開く筈さ

喜びを受けとめて 君と僕つながろう 迷い道　やっと外へ抜けだした筈さ 喜びを受けとめて 君と僕　進むだろう それは (それは) 遠い (夢の) カケラ (だけど) 愛しいカケラ 彼方へと…僕は dash!!



English= I say Hey, hey! hey, start:dash!! Hey, hey! hey, start:dash!!

Even newborn baby birds Leave the nest and fly into the sky someday Beating their big, strong wings

Don't ever give up Your day will definitely come Can your hear it? Your first beat

Let tomorrow change And become a symbol of hope As a bright star shines And brings about change, start!

Don't give in to sadness Don't cry helplessly Your heart, full of passion Is sure to open up the future Don't give in to sadness Or weep, discouraged

Don't lose faith in yourself Your dream has the power To make a change I believe in you, so start!

Hey, hey! Hey, start:dash!! Hey, hey! Hey, start:dash!!

As the depressing rain lets up We grow hopeful for the future Even our past failures Are now precious memories

Our future is about to bloom Our hope is about to bloom Humming a cheerful tune Let's go! Dash!

The new found happiness we share Links you and me together We got lost in the maze of our own lives But we found our way out The new found happiness we share Helps you and me push forward

It's actually A piece of a distant dream But a piece we should cherish Now I dash off to the word beyond
