不思議だね いまの気持ち　空から降ってきたみたい　特別な季節の色が ときめきを見せるよ

The English Translation of the Love Live! song "Snow Halation"

It's mysterious, isn't it? The current feelings, it's like they're falling from the sky. The colors of this special season show excitement.

Since the first time we met, my heart's melody has been noisy with premonitions. Unstoppable, I can't stop, why?

Let's give a name to this yearning, "Snow Halation." Without waiting for our feelings to overlap, it's frustrating, but it's a pure love. In the midst of a slight fever, even if we hesitate, we can't help but dive in. I agree with the courage to jump in. It's about to start soon!

Silently, without any signs, fate quietly changes. In the future, my heartbeat quickens.

For example, when you're in trouble, I want to run to you and hold you. Anywhere, anytime, fly high.

Hastily, "True Emotion" has grown too much without me noticing. It's painful just dreaming. I want to say you're my lover. Your gentle eyes seem bewildered. No, I don't want that. I'll entrust my love to you all at once. Please!!
