Welcome to Tokyo (Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo)
Oh, Tokyo (Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo)
東の風吹く welcome to Tokyo (Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo)
Come! come! come on a top city!
うたかたの花咲く

うたかたの花咲く
好きじゃないなら 何とか変えなきゃいけない現実 wow
ここにないなら 探しに行かなきゃいけない真実
二つとない二度ともない life game
どこまでも昇り詰めてみたい
一体全体どんな自分だろう?
どこかでもっと 輝くきっと
絶対もっと 絶対きっと

雲の上から見下ろす光
