I was reborn and I found my last love This ultimate innocence Has no more rivals I just want to throw myself on the ground at this overwhelming existence
The path to mutual love is endless I don’t care, I absolutely love you That’s all I’m feeling Supreme bliss that can be shared together
There will always be just one person at this theatre Who’s my reason to act, and that will never change
*CHORUS*
Even this line, and even that gesture I hide the feelings I can’t tell you I know already, I won’t cause you trouble I’ve sealed away this pointless secret
Love will not be lost anymore, I’ll definitely surpass love and hate Love, I’m in a delirious state, never to be free again
I woke up, it's a love that will never disappear So there's nothing to be afraid of Even if the world goes to ruins Until we find our rose-coloured ending
In sickness and in health All I wish for is your happiness That’s my only concern My prescription will be fulfilled
Right, what’s important is to love It’s alright now, after all, I won’t give up even if I die
It’s not a coincidence, nor is it a certainty What do you call this other than fate? I can’t take it anymore, there’s no mistake about it I take this nightmarish hit
Yes, love is a reckless game, try to make me spite you Look, love is a beautiful form that’s unshakable
La La La LaLaLaLa La La La LaLaLaLa La La La LaLaLaLa La La La Love Song
I’m like a fool Even though it was supposed to be a solo act Now I have another reason, so I can’t stop no matter what
*CHORUS*
That’s why
“Watch me my whole life”
Even this line, and even that gesture I hide the feelings I can’t tell you I know already, I won’t cause you trouble I’ve locked them away in magic that won’t wither away
Love will not be lost anymore, I’ll definitely surpass love and hate See, even if love is unrequited
Ah, I’m sure this magic Can never be undone again
Maybe someday, if you feel up for it
Love, I’ll devote this invincible feeling to my one and only

Personal notes!!
Some connections to Magicians’ Pure Love that I noticed! Of course, these are purely my own interpretation, and the lyrics speak much more broadly to Masumi’s character as a whole outside just this event. But considering the word choice, I thought there were some definite parallels, and I also thought it’d be fun to share~ (most event tls taken from the YC wiki):
“There will always be just one person at this theatre Who’s my reason to act, and that will never change” (ずっと一人だけ この劇場には 変わるはずもない 俺が演じる理由)
“Even if there are other reasons, in the end, the number one reason for me continuing to be an actor is so simple it's stupid... it's for you. That is the only thing that can't ever be changed.” (他の理由があったとしても、結局、俺が役者でいる一番の理由はバカみたいに単純で、アンタのためだ。それだけは、どうやっても変えられない) [chapter 9]
“Even this line, and even that gesture, I hide the feelings I can’t tell you, I know already, I won’t cause you trouble” (この台詞だって あの身振りさえ 言えない 想いを隠して もうわかってる 困らせない)
“The truth is, I want to tell you that my entire performance is a love letter for you. But if I told you that, I'm sure I'd just trouble you, so I won't say it” (本当は、俺の芝居は全部、 アンタへのラブレターなんだって伝えたい。でも、こんなこと言ったら、きっと困らせるから、言わない) [chapter 9]
“Love will not be lost anymore“ (アイ もう 失われない)
“Love is something that I'm sure you'll never lose“ (愛はきっと、失われないもの) [chapter 9]
“Love, I’m in a delirious state, never to be free again” (Love また 熱に浮かされ 二度と解けない)
“Ever since I met her, it's almost like I've always been in a delirious state, and I'm always full of courage” (アイツと出会ってから、俺はずっと熱に浮かされてるみたいで、どこまでも勇敢だ) [chapter 10]
“In sickness and in health, All I wish for is your happiness, That’s my only concern, My prescription will be fulfilled” (病める時 健やかなる時 貴方の幸せを 願うだけ それだけを案じてる 満たされる処方箋)
“…but for me, if she's healthy, happy, and eating the curry that she loves so much... If she's able to be involved in theater for the rest of her life like she wants, and if she smiles for the rest of her life, that's the most important thing to me.” (…俺にとっては、アイツが健康で幸せで、大好きなカレーをたくさん食べられて… 望み通り一生演劇に携わって、一生笑ってくれていたら、それが一番だから) [epilogue]
Side note: I also believe the “fulfilled prescription” here is a reference to SICK SICK SICK!
“Right, what’s important is to love. It’s alright now, after all, I won’t give up even if I die“ (大事なのはそう 愛するっていうこと もう大丈夫 死んでも諦めないから)
“I think it’s much more important for me to always love her with all I have.” (俺がアイツを全力で愛してるってことの方が俺の人生にとって大事なんだ) [epilogue]
“Until the day I die, I will never give up on this fated love of mine.” (俺は、この運命の恋を、死ぬまであきらめない) [epilogue]
“What do you call this other than fate?“ (運命以外になんて呼ぶ？)
“If this isn't fate, then what would else could you call it?“(これを運命と言わないなら、なんて言えばいい?) [chapter 10]
“I’ve locked them away in magic that won’t wither away“ (枯れない魔法に 閉じ込めた)
“This flower is my love. My feelings for you that won’t wither away for a lifetime” (この花は、俺の愛。一生枯れないアンタへの気持ち) [epilogue]
“Look, love is a beautiful form that’s unshakable” (Love ほら揺るぎはしない 美しいカタチ)
“There are many forms of love” (愛の形はいろいろある) [epilogue]
“Even though it was supposed to be a solo act Now I have another reason, so I can’t stop no matter what” (一人芝居だったはずなのに また理由が出来た どうせやめられない)
“I started everything for you, I did everything for your sake but… Since then, it’s been fun, and I guess that’s one reason I’m doing theatre now”” (アンタが始まりで、すべてがアンタのためだったけど…今は芝居をやることが、あの頃よりもずっと純粋に楽しい) [chapter 9]
“Watch me my whole life” (一生見てて)
“I'm sure that I'll be able to be watched by you for the rest of my life.” (俺はきっと、アンタに一生見ててもらえる) [epilogue]
“See, even if love is unrequited” (アイ ほら 報われずとも)
“Even if it's an unrequited love, it's beautiful” (たとえ報われない愛だとしても、美しい) [chapter 4]
“Ah, I’m sure this magic Can never be undone again” (ああもう きっと魔法は 二度と解けない)
“the magic of first love that's been cast on me won't fade for the rest of my life” (俺にかかった初恋の魔法は、一生解けない) [epilogue]
“Maybe someday, if you feel up for it” (またいつか、気が向いたら)
“That’s why, you don’t have to give me a reply now. I will continue to do my best in acting from now on, and I hope that you can love me as much as I love you one day” (だから、今は返事をくれなくてもいい。アンタが同じくらい俺を愛してくれるように、これからも全力で芝居を頑張る) [epilogue]
AND, lastly~ 😊
“Love, I’ll devote this invincible feeling to my one and only” (Love ただ一人に捧ぐ 無敵な感情)
“Love is invincible.”
