Japanese (日本語?)

ときめきのストーリー
美しいSunset
黄昏る私を照らす
ヨットハーバーNight

ためらいの少女
情熱の少年
夢叶うその日までは
戦い続ける 私

風が心地いいな
波が口説いてくる
今夜の私 何かが違う

Dancing 今この瞬間
私は夢中
スポットライト 浴びて踊る

Dancing 今しかない
貴重な時間
かけがえない 私だけの

ときめきのストーリー

Rōmaji (ローマ字?)

Tokimeki no Story
Utsukushī Sunset
Tasogareru watashi o terasu
Yotto hābā Night

Tamerai no shōjo
Jōnetsu no shōnen
Yumekanau sonohi made wa
Tatakai tsudzukeru Watashi

Kaze ga kokochi ī na
Nami ga kudoite kuru
Kon'ya no watashi Nanikagachigau

Dancing ima kono shunkan
Watashi wa muchū
Supottoraito Abite odoru

Dancing imashikanai
Kichōna jikan
Kakegae nai Watashi dake no

Tokimeki no Story

Translation

Story of Excitement
Beautiful Sunset
Light me up in the twilight
Yacht Harbor Night

Hesitant girl
Passionate boy
Until the day my dream comes true
I'll keep fighting

There's a nice breeze
The waves call out to me
Something feels different about me tonight

Dancing at this moment
I'm immersed in it
Dancing in the Spotlight

Dancing it's now or never
Precious time
This is my own irreplaceable
