The English Translation of 'Tokimeki Poporon' from 'Is the Order a Rabbit?'
There are still many things I don't know, but if I've found them, it's the beginning of an adventure. It's so exciting!
Where is the map of the future? Since I don't know, let's just make one with lots of "lucky points," please.
Hearts are fluffy and warm; I want to share these feelings. It's not boring at all. Let's try this and that!
Zooming out, we're bursting out (bursting out), overtaking tomorrow (overtaking), with the sparkling sound of "Poporon♪" echoing. While chatting endlessly, we'll dance and twirl (dance and twirl) in the gently filtering sunlight. Let's hold hands and make footsteps, enjoying cute, delicious, synchronized moments. Being together is nice.
I'm also curious about originality. I wonder if it's on the menu. Even just imagining it is fun. It's a heart-pounding flavor.
Let's frolic, get tired, and take a break. Such repetitions—what were we talking about again?
In the blue sky, there are marshmallow clouds. I wonder what kind of future we can see from there.
Seemingly ready to bounce (ready to bounce), bringing expectations with us (let's go together!), someday we might fall in love and start talking about fate. Where will the dream-filled hearts go on this road of falling dreams (on this road)? Occasionally, a dash might be good (it might be good!). Let's keep moving steadily towards that beloved place, riding on the balloon of admiration to go meet it.
Even decades later, we'll still be friends. We don't need to say it; it's already decided.
Zooming out, we're bursting out, overtaking tomorrow, with the sparkling sound of "Poporon♪" echoing. After all, chatting is endless, but while twinkling and dancing (twinkling and dancing) in the filtering sunlight, let's hold hands and make footsteps. I want to be with that beloved smile more and more.
