Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I can hear the crowd callin' out your name
Gonna scream it loud, got to play this game now
Fame's ahead of you
Make your dream come true
Go Nakamura, bombin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat keep on pumpin', go
Magic touch onto the ball
You're ready to let it roll
Save all Japan tonight
Again, and kick-off the magic, boy, come on!
[Chorus]
Fantasista!
Saviour of Japan
Nakamura, thunder from heaven
Fantasista!
Show me your fire
Spread your wings and fly - and you will fight for me!
Fantasista!
Saviour of Japan
Nakamura, thunder from heaven
Fantasista!
Show me your power
Boom into the night - and you will score for me!
[Verse 2]
Runnin' to the goal, like it's gonna be
Wanna feel the roar, boy you play to win now!
Sunshine on the green
Risin' to the limit
Nakamura bombin!
