Lyrics

 命は明日枯れるかも
 しれないと思えば
 今という瞬間の
 重みを知るだろう
 
 散るは覚悟咲く花の
 香に匂う強さに
 千代に栄え都は
 あなたを迎えた
 
 はばたけ大志よ
 誰より高みへ
 昇りつづけるため
 
 爛漫の四方の春
 愛と誠たずさえ
 迎え撃つ敵の数
 まだ計りしれずとも
 いつかは誉れの酒杯
 空の色うつし
 
 旨の唐獅子吠えるままに
 大和男子ならいつまでも
 男であってください

 inochi wa asu kareru kamo
 shirenai to omoeba
 ima to iu shunkan no
 omomi o shiru darou

 chiru wa kakugo saku hana no
 ka ni niou tsuyosa ni
 chiyo ni sakae miyako wa
 anata o mukaeta

 habatake taishi yo
 dare yori takami e
 noboritsuzukeru tame

 ranman no yomo no haru
 ai to makoto tazusae
 mukaeutsu teki no kazu
 mada hakarishirezu tomo
 itsuka wa homare no sakazuki
 sora no iro utsushi

 uma no karajishi hoeru mamani
 yamatodanshi nara itsumademo
 otoko de atte kudasai

 When you think about how your life
 could wither as soon as tomorrow,
 you should come to realize
 the weight of your present era.

 The capital city, prosperous for thousands of years,
 accompanied by the strength embedded in the fragrance
 of the flowers prepared to scatter at any time,
 is honored to be graced by your advent.

 O, ambitions, soar!
 You shall rise higher
 than anybody else can!

 The bustling spring arrives from all directions,
 bringing love and sincerity with it.
 It matters not that right now it is still unknown
 the number of enemies ahead.
 Someday, the sake cup of honor
 will reflect the color of the sky.

 As long as the Chinese lions are howling inside your chest,
 if you are a Yamato man,
 you must always act like a man.

Song Production Information^[1]

Arika Takarano (ALI PROJECT)

On the previous day, it was a challenge to be in pop'n for the first time, but it wasn't like that at all....
Everyone with good skills shall definitely play "Ai to makoto".
I want to at least see it by your side! Please do enjoy our song.

Mikiya Katakura (ALI PROJECT)

This game looks physically diverting.
ALIPRO's song is silently and secretly gathering so many people who can listen to it independently, but "Ai to makoto", in pop'n music, is entirely like an ALIPRO concert.
I feel the movement with the audience. Our music can be heard with just the body, for sure.
