The long-awaited summer festival.
+
Swaying lanterns in the dim light.
+
Tonight only, a carefree revelry-let the feast begin.
+
As hot as freshly made takoyaki, this soul burns.
+
This soul burns fiercely.
+
A sudden surge of nostalgia.
+
Cast off your shame and join the revelry.
+
Everyone's in a good mood-more.
+
Floating on the summer breeze.
+
In the sky we gaze at, fireworks bloom in brilliant color.
+
Brightly colored fireworks bursting overhead.
+
Large and high, a momentary dream.
+
I etch it into my heart.
+
The brighter the glow becomes,
+
The smiling faces of everyone lit by the light.
+
Rise up with a booming roar, rise up with a booming roar.
+
In time with the festival tunes, color the joyful times.
+
Stalls line the streets.
+
Goldfish scooping, careful not to tear.
+
In the shooting gallery, aim true, and pierce those feelings.
+
In the lucky-draw, pull the winning ticket.
+
Shaved ice on heated cheeks.
+
It goes "ting!" and I'm surprised by how cold it is.

Gently tugging at the yukata sleeve, softly,
+
It's still too early for it to end.
+
To the echoed sound, the heart races.
+
Fireworks that connect the heart-pounding moments.
+
The scent of summer tickles the nose.
+
Blowing through the streets.
+
With resolve, shake the earth.
+
Even the trees sway and dance this night.
+
Rise up with a roaring boom, rise up with a roaring boom.
+
So it reaches far and wide.
+
When the seasons come full circle, summer calls again.
+
Next year here, let's revel as if in a dream.
+
In the sky we gaze at, it blooms in full glory.
+
Tonight's grandest fireworks.
+
Huge and high, a momentary dream.
+
I burn it into my heart.
+
The brighter its glow becomes,
+
Everyone's smiling faces illuminated by the light.
+
Rise up with a roaring boom, rise up with a roaring boom.
+
In time with the festival rhythms, so it can reach far and wide.
+
Color the joyful times.
