English
I hear someone's voice from far away
One after another the warriors prepare for battle
On a street that only comes back
Forget about being prepared ARE YOU READY?
My body shivers straight to the core
The energy rings out like violent STOMPING
It CALLS ME, always growing, never dying out
This is an unstoppable comeback STORY
Come on, everybody STAND UP
Stand up, today's your best shot!
No one can catch you SPEED HUNTER
Everyone COME BACK now YEAH!

MAKE SOME NOISE! (8x)
Hey, yo, whoa, you ready to deal with all the risks?
You gotta get back up no matter how many times you fall !
Only a paper-thin truce keeps our bond intact
Those feelings have built up and solidified
The rising tide of cheers will give you courage
You'll suffer now as you stand back up
But I know you'll end up smiling!
Push it all away, and feel the thrill of victory!
Come on, everybody STAND UP
Stand up, today's your best shot!

What You Gonna Do? What You Gonna Do?
絶え間なく鳴り響き 刻む
デジャヴよりもゴツイ衝撃が
全身を走り 離さん Break Down
Turn It Up (Turn It Up) Hey 聞こえっか?
叫んだ 昨日までのことが
変わるだろう まだ見ぬ明日へ
こぼれて溢れた想いの分まで
待ちに待ったShow Time 咲いて散る宿命
どちらに傾く勝敗の行方
アグラかいてりゃ今日にも潰れる
流した血と汗 己で拭え
願いもプライドも含め 全てを背負った互いの背後
情けをかけてりゃダメになるぜ
保てポテンシャル メンタル面
猫も杓子も待ったようなヒーロー
一晩だけのご覧、ロマン飛行
おっ いいねえ そんなんじゃねえさ
Kick on The Corner まだ足りねえか?
いつもと違う非情な人格 守るのさすべて
Like a ターミネーター
4回、5回で立つ ハイライト (Fly High, Yeah!)
いっそこの場で伝えたるぞ
Everybody Stand Up! あげろ 今日一番の時間だ
目にも止まらぬスピードハンター
誰もが皆 虜 看板 Yeah! (Come On!)

もう多少のリスクは覚悟でしょ
何回転んだって起つ(Get It On)
なれ合いじゃないぜ 紙一重のセッション
入りくんだ感情 築き上げた結晶
Made In ヒューマンのドラマの延長
まるで燃え盛る 吉原の炎上
エンドレス 先も転がる日常
笑うほど バカになれるって事
劣勢吹く 向かい風にも負けん
巻き込む 何度も出くわしてきたぜ
幾度となく立つ この場のバトル
闘い方なら この身が悟る
一夜二夜の付け焼き刃じゃ
守るもんが違うな 白旗を振りな
陽の目 憧れる 日陰を知る
言い訳は聞かん それこそがReal
ファイト 毎度 I'm Proud
何から何までまだ失っちゃないぞ(と)
YesかNoじゃ無い いつかこう笑う
はなからパッと決める いくぜ相棒
沸き上がる歓声が勇気となる
立ち上がれば 今以上苦しみ伴う
それでも最後はきっと笑う
すべてさらう 勝利と歓声
Everybody Stand Up! あげろ 今日一番の時間だ

English (Full Version)
A voice heard in the distance hints to me,
One by one like-minded people are standing up,
These are the only things we do all the time,
Let's turn the rules into something better, ARE YOU READY?
A shiver spreads throughout my body, violently ringing STOMPING,
Constantly stirring in me, CALL ME, catching that unwavering STORY, Come on!!
Everybody stand up! Today's the best time to get up!
All eyes are on the burning SPEED HUNTER
Everyone is a victim to that attraction, Yeah! (Come on!)
Everybody Hands up! The anticipated Hero's Come Back!
Hold up your fingers and COUNT DOWN,
Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
Carving out that incessantly ringing sound,
Déjà Vu, It's a great shock,
It runs through my body relentlessly, a BREAK DOWN.
Turn it up (Turn it up) Hey, can you hear me now?
I had been screaming it since yesterday,
It's changing, to the unseen tomorrow,
To the point my emotions overflow and spill over.
The anticipated SHOW TIME where fate blooms and scatters,
Is it more inclined to victory or defeat?
Even though I sit, I'll still collapse today,
Wipe away your sweat and blood.
Your wishes, your PRIDE, all of them are piled on your back,
I even guarantee your hopeless sympathy will change!
Keep showing your POTENTIAL MENTAL MEN!!
I feel like an angry cat, I won't wait for a HERO!
The flight I saw one night was ROMANTIC
Isn't that great? It's not like that,
KICK ON THE CORNER, isn't that enough for you?
I protect all of those different, cold-hearted personalities, LIKE A TERMINATOR,
4 times, 5 times stand up, HIGHLIGHT (Fly high, yeah!)
I might as well tell you about it all.
Everybody stand up! Today's the best time to get up!
All eyes are on the burning SPEED HUNTER
Everyone is a victim to that attraction, Yeah! (Come on!)
Everybody Hands up! The anticipated Hero's Come Back!
Hold up your fingers and COUNT DOWN,
Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!
To take a few RISK, are you ready?
Stand up even if you fell many times (Get it on!)
It's not some conspiracy, just a paper-thin SESSION,
The pent up feelings turn into a crystal.
MADE IN HUMAN DRAMA the prolonged,
Blazing up like Yoshiwara flames,
The endless future tumbles into the everyday,
Its something so stupid you can't help but laugh.
Inferiority blows, I won't lose to the head wind either,
It envelops me every time I encounter it,
Countless times, here, I've stood to BATTLE,
If that's the way to fight, my body sees it.
One night, two nights, of pretension,
We're different from those who wave their white flags of surrender!
My eyes yearn for sunlight, I know only shadow,
I'll hear no excuses, that is REAL.
With each fight I'm PROUD from start to finish,
I haven't lost anything yet,
There isn't "YES or NO", (someday), you'll laugh, (like this),
In a flash it's decided, let's go, partner!
The rising cheers become our courage,
So stand up now, no matter how much pain you feel,
But in the end I'm sure you'll laugh,
Everything will be swept away in victory and cheers.
Everybody stand up! Today's the best time to get up!
All eyes are on the burning SPEED HUNTER
Everyone is a victim to that attraction, Yeah! (Come on!)
Everybody Hands up! The anticipated Hero's Come Back!
Hold up your fingers and COUNT DOWN
Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!
Everybody stand up! Today's the best time to get up!
All eyes are on the burning SPEED HUNTER
Everyone is a victim to that attraction, Yeah! (Come on!)
Everybody Hands up! The anticipated Hero's Come Back!
Hold up your fingers and COUNT DOWN
Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!
