    (負けない)
    チャンスは平等
    そう信じている

    焦ってもしょうがないから
    (コツコツ)
    今できることを
    やるしかないんだ

    悔しくて泣いたり
    (あきらめかけたり)
    ちょっと拗ねてみたり
    (誰かに当たったり)
    大好きな
    道ならば
    楽しもうよ

english translation

    Instead of love, dream
    You can't take a shortcut
    Run!
    (Run!)
    Hurry!
    (Hurry!)
    Take this road with all your might

    I'm the only one who got a late start
    (Right now)
    I don't have the time
    To be taking a rest

    No one has any hopes for me
    (That's why)
    I have to provide for myself
    The motivation to keep going

    Even diamonds
    (Before they're polished)
    Are just dirty stones
    (Covered in mud)
    Take a look at me
    Even if I'm no good
    Eventually
    (Sparklingly)
    I'll shine

    Instead of love, dream
    Without looking aside
    Forward
    (Forward)
    Is where I'm aiming
    Advancing as fast as I can
    My goal is a dream
    I can't see anything but that
    Let's go!
    (Let's go!)
    Absolutely!
    (Absolutely!)
    My reason for living is for a dream

    “Huh? Why is Tani here?”
    “Hello. It's because I'm in the same genre...”
    “If Tani joins us, won't this become a 'preplanned unit'?”
    “No, it'll be a 'working hard unit'...”
    “Well, I guess it's fine”

    My rival is who I was yesterday
    (I won't lose)
    My chances are even
    Yes, that's what I believe

    I can't help being impatient
    (Steadily)
    I have to do
    All I can do now

    Crying in frustration
    (Almost giving up)
    Pouting a little
    (Being scolded by someone)
    If this is the path
    That I love
    I should have fun
    (All this effort)
    I'll start to love it!

    Instead of love, dream
    You can't take a shortcut
    Run!
    (Run!)
    Hurry!
    (Hurry!)
    Take this road with all your might
    Youth is a dream
    Let's meet everything head on...
    With sweat
    (With sweat)
    And tears
    (And tears)
    I'll muster my strength for my dream

    “We're still pretty raw, aren't we?”
    “'We?' Don't lump us in with you!”
    “Well, Tani is joining us anyway, so it's fine, right?”
    “Thank you”
    “The singing parts have split into three too, I see”
    “When you polish a diamond, all it can be is a diamond”
    “And we'll polish it together, won't we?”
    “Yes! And instead of Tani, call me 'Ni~ta~' please!”
    “You put the character on”

    Though I'm told I'm butting in
    I have to push myself forward even more (I have to push myself forward even more)
    If I'm doing my best, I can become
    A sparkling
    Diamond

    Instead of love, dream
    Without looking aside
    Forward
    (Forward)
    Is where I'm aiming
    Advancing as fast as I can
    My goal is a dream
    I can't see anything but that
    Let's go!
    (Let's go!)
    Absolutely!
    (Absolutely!)
    My reason for living is for a dream

    “But isn't 'Ni~ta~ a temporary name?”
    “That's right, because it took the two of us all of 5 years to get our own unit”
    “Eeh~? Let me in please~”
    “But, Ni~ta~, you haven't endured any hardship for it~”
    “I'll endure starting now~, so please let me in!”
    “Well, I guess we'll have to~, you can join”
    “All riiiight!”
    “JUST KIDDING”
    “Eh~ W-w-wait, just a second, Tani also- ah, I screwed up, Ni~ta~ wants in too please~!”
