I have been looking for the lyrics of this song since forever, but even with the help of my Japanese friends, we had trouble hearing and identifying
a couple of words. We got really close but it was still not enough. Recently, I finally found the actual lyrics online, but it's not translated nor
available in Romaji, so here it is.
Title: 「夏色スターマイン」 "Natsu-iro Star Mine / Summer-Colored Starmine"
Composer: FN2 and LAN.na (from Eurobeat Union)
Vocals: NU-KO

| 藍色染まる後ろ姿見つけたよ | ai-iro somaru ushiro sugata mitsuketa yo | I found your silhouette colored in indigo. |
| はぐれないようにギュと | hagurenai you ni gyutto | So that I won't lose sight of you, |
| 掴んだ手が照れてるね | tsukanda te ga tereteru ne | I firmly hold onto your embarrassed hand. |
| はしゃぐ君独り占め | hashagu kimi hitorijime | Seeing you playing around makes me |
| したいよ I love you | shitai yo I LOVE YOU | want to have you for myself, I love you. |
| 夜空に舞いあがる | yozora ni maiagaru | The fireworks soar up |
| 打ち上げ花火キラリ | uchiage hanabi kirari | high in the sky, sparkling. |
| 二人だけの世界へ | futari dake no sekai e | The distance between us closes, |
| 近づく距離 Ah... | chikazuku kyori AH | it's as if we're in our own world. |
| 真夏の夜の夢 | manatsu no yoru no yume | It's the dream of a midsummer night, |
| 光のシャワー浴びて | hikari no SHAWAA abite | being bathed in a shower of light, |
| 鮮やかに燃えあがる | azayaka ni moeagaru | bursting into a brilliant flame. |
| 君と恋した夏 | kimi to koi shita natsu | It's the summer when I fell in love with you. |

| ざわめきかき消して | zawameki kakikeshite | It drowns out the hum of voices, |

| くちずけはラムネ味 | kuchizuke wa ramune aji | Your kiss tastes like Ramune[5], |
| 夏色スターマイン | natsu iro SUTAA MAIN | and is a summer-colored starmine[6]. |

Footnotes and translation notes:
[1] Yukata is a traditional summer festival dress worn by Japanese men and women. With this, and from the many summer-related visuals that the lyrics presents, we can safely assume that they are in a summer festival.
[2] The sweet cider being referenced here is called a "Ramune" in Japan. These have a marble ball made of glass that acts as the cork to the glass bottle. Since this is pushed inside and remains inside the bottle while drinking, tilting the bottle to drink makes the marble hit the glass bottle, making a sound.
[3] A geta is a Japanese wooden sandal, commonly worn together with a yukata. They have high heels and are famous for being hard to walk in when the person is not used to wearing one.
[4] The word written on the lyrics can be literally translated to "heavy bass sounds", however, since they are at a fireworks festival, I decided to assume that these are the explosion sounds of the fireworks.
[5] The person being referred to was drinking Ramune as explained in footnote [2], so that makes sense.
[6] I am not sure if the word "starmine" is present in the English vocabulary, but nevertheless, a starmine in the Japanese sense are "fireworks that are made up of multiple tubes, tied together, and launched in succession."
