Lyrics[edit]

Japanese lyrics Romaji lyrics English translation

行くっきゃない やるっきゃない
負けっこない 止まらない 最後まで
ひとりじゃない さみしくない まだまだ
ワクワク冒険 終わらない…

キラリ朝日 キナギタウン
今日も元気か? ピカチュウ
やる気 元気 リュックにつめて
オレは今日も誓うよ

ピンチとチャンス ウラ・オモテ
勝つも負けるも オレ次第
強さ やさしさ まぶしい笑顔
胸のMAPで見つけるぜ

もっと もっと高く
めざせ オレはチャレンジャー!!

行くっきゃない やるっきゃない
負けっこない 止まらない いつだって
支えたい 守りたい 君が傷ついた時は

振りむかない うつむかない
へこたれない あきらめない 信じてる
あせらない あわてない
いつも はるかな夢めざして…

Iku kkya nai yaru kkya nai
Make kkonai tomaranai saigomade
Hitori janai samishikunai madamada
Wakuwaku bōken owaranai...

Kirari asahi kinagitaun
Kyō mo genki ka? Pikachū
Yaruki genki ryukku ni tsumete
Ore wa kyō mo chikau yo

Pinchi to chansu ura omote
Katsu mo makeru mo ore shidai
Tsuyo-sa yasashi-sa mabushī egao
Mune no MAP de mitsukeru ze

Motto motto takaku
Mezase ore wa charenjā!!

Iku kkya nai yaru kkya nai
Make kkonai tomaranai itsu datte
Sasaetai mamoritai kimi ga kizutsuita toki wa

Furi mukanai utsumukanai
Hekotarenai akiramenai shinji teru
Aseranai awatenai
Itsumo harukana yume mezashite...

I have to go, I have to do it
I can't lose, I can't stop, not until the end
I'm not alone, I'm not lonely, still a way to go
This exciting adventure isn't over

The sparkling sun rises over in Kinagi Town[note 1]
Are you feeling good today, Pikachu?
I'll pack up my eagerness and energy
Today, too, I swear!

Pinches and chances are different sides of a coin
Winning and losing depends on me
Strength, kindness, dazzling smiles
With my heart's map, I'll look for them

Higher and higher
Aim for it - I'm a challenger!!

I have to go, I have to do it
I can't lose, I can't stop, at any time
I want to help, I want to protect you during painful times

I can't turn around, I can't lie down
I can't get depressed, I can't give up, I believe
I won't rush, I won't get confused
I always aim for that distant dream...
