時空超えてユニバース is M!LK going completely over the top about love, and honestly that is the fun of it. The opening line, "無限D愛 大気圏突破" (infinite D-love, breaking through the atmosphere), sounds like a rocket launch, and the very next line waves goodbye to the planet with "全世界に アディオス" (adios to the whole world). Yes, that is the Spanish word for goodbye, dropped right into a Japanese pop song.
What I like is how small the details get between the cosmic stuff. Hope is found in "冷凍庫の中 買い置きしてるアイスも" (even the ice cream I stocked up on in the freezer), and in "お気にの新作 次回予告だって" (my favorite new release, even the preview for the next episode). "お気に" is casual slang, short for お気に入り (favorite). Then the chorus goes huge again: "愛こそが道 君こそが虹" (love is the road, you are the rainbow) and "想いは時空超えてユニバース" (my feelings cross space and time, universe). The こそ in both halves means "it is exactly this one", a handy bit of emphasis to learn.
The bridge is pure cheerleading. "High! High! 愛こそが原動力" (High! High! Love is the driving force) repeats with focus, action and life force swapped in, which is a bit much and clearly meant to be. Right after that, the boys get adorably casual with "ありがとねマジ" (thanks, seriously), where マジ is slang for "for real". My favorite line is "世界の終わり その瞬間も" (even at the moment the world ends), followed by wanting to fill everything with 「好き」 (love, liking you). The song signs off with "止まんない 進もう新時代" (we won't stop, let's move into a new era), and by then you will want to.
