だからHi Hi Hi! しあわせが
きっとHi Hi Hi! 歌い出す
輝いてるこの季節に胸が胸がおどるの
Dakara Hi Hi Hi! Shiawase ga
Kitto Hi Hi Hi! Utai dasu
Kagayaiteru kono kisetsu ni mune ga mune ga odoru no
Because of -- Hi Hi Hi! -- happiness
Suddenly, "Hi Hi Hi!" I sing out
In this sparkling season my heart, my heart dances in my chest
Tomaranai dokidoki wa hajimari no aizu
Sarigenaku mitsumetara mimi ga atsuku naru no yo
Hajimete no wakuwaku ni tomadoi no merodi
Watashi kara koe kakeru chansu ga hoshikute
Hōkago no hirusagari futoshita gūzen ga
Anata to watashi no mirai o kaeru?
Oshiete nē oshiete!
My nonstop pounding heart is the first sign
When I casually stare (at you) my ears start burning
When the excitement starts, the melody of my heart causes me to lose my bearings
I want the chance to risk talking to you
Out and about after school unexpectedly I got the chance
Could this change our future?
Tell me! Hey, come on and tell me!
そんな Hi Hi Hi! しあわせに
きっと Hi Hi Hi! 包まれて
なにもかもが嬉しくなる 私を受けとめて
Son'na Hi Hi Hi! Shiawase ni
Kitto Hi Hi Hi! Tsutsumarete
Nanimokamo ga ureshiku naru watashi o uketomete
That -- Hi Hi Hi! -- happiness
Suddenly -- Hi! Hi! Hi! -- envelopes me
I'm still coming to terms with the new me who is happy about anything and everything
だからHi Hi Hi! しあわせが
きっとHi Hi Hi! 歌い出す
輝いてるこの季節に胸が胸がおどるの
Dakara Hi Hi Hi! Shiawase ga
Kitto Hi Hi Hi! Utai dasu
Kagayai teru kono kisetsu ni mune ga mune ga odoru no
Because of -- Hi Hi Hi! -- happiness
Suddenly, "Hi Hi Hi!" I sing out
In this sparkling season my heart, my heart dances in my chest
Tomaranai dokidoki wa hajimari no aizu
Sarigenaku mitsumetara mimi ga atsuku naru no yo
Hajimete no wakuwaku ni tomadoi no merodi
Watashi kara koe kakeru chansu ga hoshikute
Hōkago no hirusagari futoshita gūzen ga
Anata to watashi no mirai o kaeru?
Oshiete nee oshiete!
This pounding in my heart is the first sign
Just brushing it off makes me feel funny
There's a bewildering melody to my excitement
I want a chance to call out to you
After school I ran into you by chance
Could this change our future?
Tell me! Tell me please!
そんな Hi Hi Hi! しあわせに

Oshiete saa oshiete!
Thrill chasing is fun today
My heart that you swell with hope and smiles overflows
Everyday embraces an important sparkle
Any challenge to find love would wonder if I am able to do so as well
At the moment when my way home lined up with the breeze
Could this be the future starting with you and me?
Tell me! Come on tell me!
ユメが Hi Hi Hi! この場所で

On March 26, 2014, Silent Siren announced on their official Twitter[4] that they would be providing the fourth opening theme titled Lucky Girl (ラッキーガール). This new opening theme is used for the rebroadcast of the Japanese version's episodes during its "Best Selection" run, and it reused the footage used for the first opening theme in the first two episodes.
Beginning with the Best Selection rebroadcast of Look Before You Sleep (the third episode to be rebroadcast), an entirely new video is used, though the song remains the same.

The song Kataomoi no Karaage (片思いの唐揚げ), sung by HKT48, completely replaces the original closing theme in the first season of the show.[5] It is preceded by a locally-made live-action segment.
Otoko no ko (otoko no ko) suki ni naru to wa
Chīsai koro kara imēji wakanakute
Dōsei no (dōsei no) tomodachi to nara
Issho ni iru toki rakudashi omoshiroi
When it came to falling in love with boys (boys)
I didn't have an image when I was young
Just hanging out with my girlfriends (girlfriends)
Was comfortable and fun
Itsukaraka ano hito dake ga ki ni natte kita
Me ga atta sore dake na no ni setsunai no
Watashi ga watashi ja naku natte iku
Hajimete no keiken yo
For some time, I've had nothing but that boy on my mind
It hurts, and all we did was make eye contact
I'm starting to lose sight of who I am
This experience is so new to me
小麦粉をつけて揚げてやるぜ
片思いを唐揚げにしよう
考え過ぎは苦しくなるから
美味しく恋をしよう
Komugiko o tsukete agete yaruze
Kataomoi o karaage ni shiyou
Kangae sugi wa kurushiku naru kara
Oishiku koi o shiyou
I'll add some flour and fry it up
I'll make some fried chicken of one-sided love
It's painful to think about it too much
So let's make it a delicious love
Otoko no ko (otoko no ko) suki ni naru to wa
Chīsai koro kara imēji wakanakute
Dōsei no (dōsei no) tomodachi to nara
Issho ni iru toki rakudashi omoshiroi
When it came to falling in love with boys (boys)
I didn't have an image when I was young
Just hanging out with my girlfriends (girlfriends)
Was comfortable and fun

I'll add some flour and fry it up
I'll make some fried chicken of one-sided love
It's painful to think about it too much
So let's make it a delicious love
Ichinichijū (ichinichijū) bōtto shite iru
Kono jōtai kara dou nukedaseba ii no?
Hashika da to (hashika da to) hiyakasareta kedo
Mabuta wo tojireba kare shika mienai
I zone out all day long (all day long)
How do I get out of this state of mind?
My friends tease me, saying it's measles (it's measles)
But when I close my eyes, all I see is him
この胸の深いところでときめくものは
そうきっと大人になるための兆候ね
私が一番好きだったもの
それ以上のI love you!
Kono mune no fukai tokoro de tokimeku mono wa
Sou kitto otona ni naru tame no chōkō ne
Watashi ga ichiban suki datta mono
Sore ijō no I love you!
There's a pitter-patter deep within my heart
Yes, I'm sure this is a sign that I'm growing up
Even more than my favorite things
I love you way more!
Jibun demo hāto wo moteamashiteru
Koi tte yatsu dou ni ka shinakya
Shio wo futte remon shibotte
Tonikaku nomikomou ka
Though it's my own heart, it's out of my control
I have to do something about this thing called love
Sprinkle some salt on it, squeeze a lemon on it
I'll swallow it down anyway
小麦粉をつけて揚げてやるぜ
片思いを唐揚げにしよう
考え過ぎは苦しくなるから
美味しく恋をしよう
Komugiko wo tsukete agete yaruze
Kataomoi wo karage ni shiyou
Kangaesugi wa kurushiku naru kara
Oishiku koi wo shiyou
I'll add some flour and fry it up
I'll make some fried chicken of one-sided love
It's painful to think about it too much
So let's make it a delicious love
Starting with the season two premiere The Return of Harmony Part 1, the second ending theme for the Japanese version is step by step by Suzu. Video-wise, it is the exact same as the previous ending theme; only the song is different.
Beginning with The Cutie Pox, a different version of the theme song is used, which replaces the visuals completely, and updates the clips to be from season two. Only the visuals are changed; the song remains the same.
A slightly updated version is used beginning with Sweet and Elite. Before that point, the text used in the credits sequence is white with a black outline, but after that point, it becomes black with a white outline. The text for the next episode preview is unaffected by this; it is still white with a black outline.
