Love Forever, Singing in Towada

In my heart, they blossomed while I was unaware of it.
Pumpkin and mushrooms that have been accumulated by dots.
Oh, dogs are running around, too!
Hanako-chan, a girl who in the midst of her youth sang songs to me
is distributing to the people all the mysteries of the universe and
the infinite “celebration of love".
Look at the giant red mushroom! It was a gift from “God of Love".
My aspirations for pursuing the truth, in a magnificent festival for the living,
hopes and wishes for world peace fill up my heart, and
are cheering the people up in a splendid way today as always
with a heartfelt celebration of polka dots.
Visiting the Polka Dots Paradise in Towada everyday,
our hearts are filled with deep emotion.
Grant me my wish, will you, please?
The joy of “Love Forever" satisfies everything, I believe.
They are real; the dogs of Towada, the resplendence of the
girl in the midst of her youth, “Ring-Ring" “Toko-Ton" and “Ken" the dogs,
“God of Love" the mushroom, “Mushroom of the Sun" and “Spirit of Mushroom".
All of you, give us encouragement throughout the course of our life, will you?
