Lyrics
[Verse 1] Looking a groove to see the world Like a Tokyo city What is the colour Of your moon of great Japan I'm under the sun So we can dance in to your Beating land of magic mystic world I love the Geisha I wanna kick the feel inside me I'm in you ride because I need you my Japan Under the sun I want to live in you forever Calm it's broken on my heart

[Pre-Chorus] You are the key of heaven forever Me and you always spend the night

[Chorus] Japan, Japan, Japan Oh-oh, Japan, Japan, Japan Japan, Japan, Japan Oh-oh, Japan, Japan, Japan

[Verse 2] I know you guys Know the colour of the Sunshine Oriental sea, If you have a fantasy Japan You are in my dream So I can get enough of you My heart will stay for you, Japan
