Idol Nijiiro (Rainbow) Memories

The frill of a white dress

As I turn around I see everyone's hair style looks like mine

My crying face that I showed for countless times

Don't call me cutie

I want to get onto the chart rankings

Where is my live performance this week?

Even if the camera comes close to me

I won't show my smile

My bangs I curled and my heart will never break

I shake my shoulder pads and dance in disco until morning

I shake my shoulder pads and dance in disco forever

The bubble has popped and winter has began

Pinup girls and bands are everywhere

I wear a colorful costume

See, I'm an idol

Let's have fun in Karaoke forever

I wonder if I also can find "trendy love"

Becoming an idol from an audition

Will stay an idol until we graduate

We should keep the hierarchical structure

Our leader is a bit scary

Strong hairstyle and character

That's how we survive

With various units

We will cheer up Japan

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Go Go Go

Come to see us

Together we will get the center position

Don't overlook me

Even if I'm only in the music video for 2 sec

I want you to strongly support me

With just a glance and touch we are connected

Age of civil strife

Once upon a time

Fast evolving

Already a culture

We will expand globally with "Cool Japan"

Everybody's dreaming of becoming an Artist? Band? Voice actor? AI?

So borderless we don't even care about winning or losing

Concept is our strongpoint

Collaboration on our side

Our possibilities growing endlessly.

Sense of longing will last forever

For all the hairstyles that define the age
