English Lyrics (TV Size)
Translated by Miraikosu

This time it's serious! We have to get organized

Farewell, indecision! Next spot!

We will do it tomorrow.

Everything will be fine, will it not?

You have to be serious!

Farewell, indecision! Do not miss!

And now?

You know what to do next!

This is so hard!
