Performed by: T.M.Revolution

Version 1.00
Note: I promised it eventually; a popular song from TMR. Level 4 was, coincidentally enough, TMR's 4th single. Level 4 is one of his songs that I think of as being super energetic. Every time I hear this song, I picture TMR running around Tokyo Dome at top speed during his live and somehow not looking winded. There's just something about the song that screams, "Let's run in circles and dance~!" On a personal recommendation, the "Ground Zero I-Mix" of the song from his DISCORdanza CD is absolutely amazing; everyone should pick it up for a really good time.
yokubou mo reberu agereba
chotto ya sotto ja mitasenai keredo
ze ga hi demo onegai shitai
kimi ga yume no kagi ni naru kara
If you raise the level of your desire
Just a little or shyly you can't satisfy it but
Right or wrong I wanna ask you
Cause you're the key to my dreams
chikara mo nai okane mo nai nai2 bakka de kiri ga nai genjou wa sonna de
douse nara machi kurai kirei na ko to arukitai ki ga tsuita dake da
Got no power, got no money it's all nothing2 no limits to it everything's like that now
Anyhow, it's just that I realized I wanna at least walk down the street with some pretty girl
marude aite ni saretenai itami ga mata shigeki da yo
The pain that I've completely ignored is still motivation
yokubou mo reberu agereba
chotto ya sotto ja mitasenai keredo
ze ga hi demo onegai shitai
kimi ga yume no kagi ni naru kara
If you raise the level of your desire
Just a little or shyly you can't satisfy it but
Right or wrong I wanna ask you
Cause you're the key to my dreams
seikaku ga yokereba ii suki o kureru kanojo to nareai tsuzukete
jibun ni wa niatteru omou you ni natteita kimi ni au made wa
If you're a good person you'll keep things going with the girl you love
When I met you I started thinking that there was something good about myself
koi ni kodawari motsu koto de nanika o tsukamikaketeru
When you've got trouble with love you've got to hang onto something
kairaku mo shitteshimaeba
chotto ya sotto ja mitasenaku naru yo
haaremu o tsukuritai toka
sooiya mukashi omotteta kke na
If you can completely understand pleasure
Just a little or shyly it can stop satisfying you
Like wanting to make your own harem
I think I thought like that in the past
akirame o oboeta mune o
chikarawaza kimi ni ubawarete
tomosureba ishiki wa hidai
mi no hodo shiru ashita wa iranai
My heart had all but given up
In a feat of strength, you stole it away
If you can broaden your mind
And know yourself you don't need tomorrow
ze ga hi demo onegai shitai
yume ni sonshoku otoranai hito yo
yokubou no reberu furikire
kimi ga kagi o nigitteru kara
Right or wrong I wanna ask you
You're someone better than any dream
I'll shake off the level of desire
Cause you're holding the key in your hands
