[Intro: Station Announcement] Thank you for your boarding today On the Rainbow Nanchara Express We will be departing shortly Destination is still unknown Timetables are unconfirmed But dear Echi-tomo passengers Please hold on to the hand straps [Intro Hook] Rainbow, nanchara Rainbow, nanchara Is it fast? Is it slow? Or is it a different time-space flow? [Verse 1] Once I pass the ticket gate, I’m on board now The date on the ticket says tomorrow somehow Turn to the right and then warp to the left Out of the window, rainbows spin and twist Before the bell can ring, the hook is here We take our group photo before we’re near It’s not really normal, but that’s okay Echiko-chan’s smile lights up the way [Pre-Chorus: Manaka Report] Reporting, this is Manaka Right now the Rainbow Nanchara Express Is running very smoothly However, direction of travel Current place and arrival time Cannot be confirmed at present Echiko-chan simply says “It’s all right, it’s made of rainbows” And keeps on smiling [Chorus] Rainbow Nanchara Express Run on, run on, to everywhere Is it fast? Is it slow? Or is time-space different? Who can know? Rainbow Nanchara Express Laugh on, laugh on, while we all sway Once every Echi-tomo gets on this ride Even the mysteries sparkle and start to sing [Post-Chorus] Nanchara, chara-chara Rainbow, chara-chara Grab the hand strap tight and Now, let departure commence Nanchara, chara-chara Rainbow, chara-chara What an unexpected Seven-colored run [Verse 2] Every clock in the carriage shows different hours Three o’clock, nine o’clock, yesterday’s sundown But the announcements stay strangely upbeat “Next stop is probably past the rainbow” Smiles of Echi-tomo shine in the glass Stars go flying every time that they wave Yet the emergency light glows crimson red Someone’s hidden tear falls down on the tracks [Interlude: Delay Announcement] We have an announcement Some passengers may appear To have missed their train today This is not a service delay It is a time-space display shift Those who think they have been left behind May already be seated in A different carriage somewhere [Manaka Report] Reporting, this is Manaka If that explanation made sense to you It’s highly likely that you are now Well-adapted to the Rainbow Nanchara Express [Echiko Spoken] It’s all okay You have not missed the train The Rainbow Nanchara Express If you truly wish to ride You are mostly already on [Chorus] Rainbow Nanchara Express Run on, run on, to everywhere Missed the train? Oh, not quite It is just a time-space circumstance Rainbow Nanchara Express Spin on, spin on inside the arc Those who were late will arrive before the rest Even the mysteries sparkle and start to sing [Bridge] Red eyes glowing in the warning lights Black drops falling, soaking through the rails Nobody calls out anybody’s name Only the rainbow keeps breathing there Starting point “V” shines faint and small Present flag “M” cuts the passing wind Smiling faces rush right through the scene At a rainbow station far from normal [Break: Whisper / Glitch] Rainbow Nanchara Rainbow Nanchara Are you riding yet? Are you already on? [Final Chorus] Rainbow Nanchara Express Run on, run on, to everywhere Is it fast? Is it slow? Or is it a different time-space flow? Rainbow Nanchara Express Laugh on, laugh on, while we all sway Once every Echi-tomo gets on this ride Even the mysteries sparkle and start to sing [Outro: Station Announcement] We will soon arrive somewhere or other Please take care not to leave behind The rainbow in your hands Or your black shining tears Thank you once again For boarding today The Rainbow Nanchara Express [Outro Hook] Rainbow, nanchara Rainbow, nanchara Is it fast? Is it slow? Or is time-space different? Who can know?
