LYRICS
Romaji helps you sing the Japanese words. English meaning explains them, rather than matching the tune.
Japanese wordplay and memory tricks may sound unusual in English—that’s part of the fun! The sound clues work in Japanese.
ō and ū mark long vowels (oo and uu). Original English lines are kept as written.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Sui mo amai mo aru mono yo
Heriotorōpu no hanakotoba no yo na
Riaru na renai kibō
Berī kyūto na watashi ga shuyaku

Hey! Hey! Hey!
酸いも甘いもあるものよ
へリオトロープの花言葉のよな
リアルな恋愛希望
ベリーキュートな私が主役
BCN♡BCN(ぼくん♡ぼくん)と あなたの鼓動聞こえるわ
酸欠注意、覚悟をしてね
不意打ちで送るわ
ネオンしたから指ハート
元素は世界をつくるのよ
だから!
元素を制するものは 恋愛も制す
覚えておいてね 私のルール
さぁ チェックメイト
君も 世界も
私が手に入れるの
当然でしょ
なんでそんな顔してるの
まぁ偶然なんて あるわけないでしょ
あるあるストーリーじゃ物足りない
気づいてるでしょ もう目が離せない
視線そらさないで
凛としてるだけで
イオの神話みたいに 惹かれていくでしょ
よそ見なんてしないで キャッチミーベイベー
演奏が始まる 恋のプレリュード
アルゴリズムはカンペキよ
軽く一曲 踊りましょ
元素は世界をつくるのよ
だから!
元素を制するものは 恋愛も制す
覚えておいてね 私のルール
さぁ チェックメイト
君も 世界も
私が手に入れるの。
当然でしょ
フェアリーテイルなんかじゃない
どうしたってナンバーワンがいい
会えなくたって あなたは私に夢中
だからあげるわ 投げキッス
銀のピアスに 弾けて揺れる
触れられるよう、その心の
バリアをといてよ
巡り会うのが運命なのよ
元素は世界をつくるのよ
だから!
元素を制するものは 恋愛も制す
覚えておいてね 私のルール
さぁ チェックメイト
君も 世界も
私が手に入れるの!
当然でしょ
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Life has its bitter and its sweet.
I want a love like the meaning of the heliotrope flower—
a real romance.
Super-cute me: I'm the star of this story.
BCN♡BCN—ba-thump, ba-thump—I can hear your heartbeat.
You might run out of breath, so be ready.
I'll catch you by surprise:
a finger heart, held beneath the neon lights.
Elements make up the world.
So!
Master the elements, and you can master love too.
Remember my rules.
Now, checkmate.
You, and the whole world—
I'll make you mine.
Of course I will.
Why are you making that face?
Come on, there's no way this is just coincidence.
An all-too-familiar story isn't enough for me.
You know it already: you can't look away.
Don't turn your eyes away.
Just standing here with poise,
I'll draw you in, like the myth of Io.
No looking elsewhere—catch me, baby.
The music begins: a prelude to love.
My algorithm is perfect.
Come on, let's dance to a tune.
Elements make up the world.
So!
Master the elements, and you can master love too.
Remember my rules.
Now, checkmate.
You, and the whole world—
I'll make you mine.
Of course I will.
This isn't some fairy tale.
No matter what, I want to be number one.
Even when we can't meet, you're crazy about me.
So here's a kiss, blown your way.
Silver earrings bounce and sway.
Let me reach your heart:
let down that barrier.
It was our destiny to find each other.
Elements make up the world.
So!
Master the elements, and you can master love too.
Remember my rules.
Now, checkmate.
You, and the whole world—
I'll make you mine!
Of course I will.
