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

English= I say Hey, hey, hey START:DASH Hey, hey, hey START:DASH

Even newborn baby birds Will someday soar through the sky They'll fly with great, strong wings

Don't ever give up That day will definitely come You can feel it too, can't you? The beats of the beginning

O Tomorrow, change! Transform into hope! Transform, illuminated by that brilliant light START!!

Being closed in by sorrow And just crying -- That isn't you With your blazing heart, you can definitely clear the way to the future Being closed in by sorrow And just crying is boring I'm sure (I'm sure) Your (dream's) power (right now) Can set things in motion I believe in you, so START!!

Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!! Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!

The mood after the rain Amidst growing expectations Even the times when we stumbled Let them become memories

Tomorrow will blossom! Hope will blossom! A fun, hummed melody blossomed DASH!!

Grasp the happiness and Let's form a connection between us We've finally broken through and found our way Grasp the happiness and You and I will push on forward Those are (those are) a distant (dream's) Fragments (but they're) precious fragments Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!

And again, a dream is born

Being closed in by sorrow And just crying -- That isn't you With your blazing heart, you can definitely clear the way to the future

Grasp the happiness and Let's form a connection between us We've finally broken through and found our way Grasp the happiness and You and I will push on forward Those are (those are) a distant (dream's) Fragments (but they're) precious fragments Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!
