Lyrics[]
Japanese
鮮やかに 恋して にんじゃりばんばん
なんだか にんじゃりばんばん
bloom bloom bloom 花びらも舞う
飛んでけ にんじゃりばんばん
常識を変えたら 驚きが日常に
どうして にんじゃりばんばん
愛して にんじゃりばんばん
Ring Ring Ring 鳴らないメロディー
ふんわり 煙に巻き
空を駆けるのは にんにんにん キミだけだから
見えていたものが 七色に
変わる時 キミはきっと
手をのばしても触れない光のようだから
鮮やかに 恋して にんじゃりばんばん
なんだか にんじゃりばんばん
bloom bloom bloom 花びらも舞う
飛んでけ にんじゃりばんばん
常識を変えたら 驚きが日常に
どうして にんじゃりばんばん
愛して にんじゃりばんばん
Ring Ring Ring 鳴らないメロディー
ふんわり 煙に巻き
空を駆けるのは にんにんにん キミだけだから
どんな色にもならないで
キミは街を染めるよ
広がってゆくね 転がる巻物みたいな
道を作る
鮮やかに 恋して にんじゃりばんばん
なんだか にんじゃりばんばん
bloom bloom bloom 花びらも舞う
飛んでけ にんじゃりばんばん
常識を変えたら 驚きが日常に
どうして にんじゃりばんばん
愛して にんじゃりばんばん
Ring Ring Ring 鳴らないメロディー
ふんわり 煙に巻き
空を駆けるのは にんにんにん キミだけだから
鮮やかに 恋して にんじゃりばんばん
なんだか にんじゃりばんばん
bloom bloom bloom 花びらも舞う
飛んでけ にんじゃりばんばん
常識を変えたら 驚きが日常に
どうして にんじゃりばんばん
愛して にんじゃりばんばん
Ring Ring Ring 鳴らないメロディー
ふんわり 煙に巻き
空を駆けるのは にんにんにん キミだけだから
