First introduced for Shaft's TV adaption of Negima Neo, this song was the opening theme for the Negima!? anime series. Much like Happy Material, there were several versions of this song used in the TV series with different groups of character voices performing in each version.

A CD set was released themed around this song and featured remixes that were exclusive to its release.

This is also one of the few songs from the series to be dubbed into English officially by the voice cast of the series, though it never received a release outside of the anime series.

The song was last used as an ending theme for one of UQ Holder's OAD episodes and was performed by the voice cast of the show.

<

I always thought it was some place much farther
Just a dream that you could never touch
"Wait! Please wait! It's you, isn't it, Father?"

I never missed even the tiniest bit of light
So that I could get as close to you as possible
"Even if it costs me my life, I shall protect you!"

Courage deep inside my heart that cuts through the darkness
White wings that cut through indecision
"Honestly! Don't think you can do everything by yourself!"

Even if I'm on the verge of coming to a standstill
I'll lock away the smile that's right here, right now, in my heart
"I don't want to just be protected! I want to protect, too!"

More Sparking Now! A strong, tough heart
Polish it and the world will be altered beyond recognition
Sparking Now! Your soul raised up high
Go for it with all your might, 1000%

Firing off the pistol in my bosom
My heartbeat is getting in the way badly
It's a restless situation like that
A partially solved equation
Opening the next door
Sometimes, you just have to go
Because you shine in my affections, which I cannot yield
I'm fine even today, when I feel like giving up
I'm 5 seconds away from success
More Sparking Now! A strong, tough heart
Polish it and the world will be altered beyond recognition
Sparking Now! Your soul raised up high
Go for it with all your might, 1000%

In the darkness that I have continued to wander
Even if I reach out, it just slips through my fingers
Where will we ultimately end up?
No one can work out where we are headed
At times, something warm trails down my cheeks
But they turn into plain droplets in no time
In search of a way to escape the hollow mood blocking the future
No matter how many times we meet, we part over and over
If this is the fate that has been given to me
I will make full use of numerous methods
And find it, no matter what
And someday, somewhere
If I get to meet that light once again
I want to etch my meeting with you in my every memory to mark the event

So Burning Heart! I'll make it burn hot now
Breaking through this world that I have to feel my way in
Burning Heart! What illuminated the darkness
Was my very own shining 1000%

「待って、ねぇ待って! 父さんでしょ!?」

どんな小さな光も見逃さずにいた
少しでもあなたに近づくために
「この命、例え失ってもお守り致します!」


闇を切り裂く 胸の奥の勇気
迷いを断ち切る 白い翼
「もう、一人で何でも出来るって思うんじゃないわよ!」

立ち止まりそうになっても
今ここにある笑顔 胸に閉じ込めて
「守られてるばっかりはいややわ!ウチも守りたい!」

There's a longing deep inside of my heart,
So filled with passion yet it keeps us apart
That's the irony of how I learned to love
Opportunities, they come and they go
Uncertainties can make it hard to know
We can take a chance and choose to rise above
You give me strength, you shine in my affection
You light the darkness that's in my life
Though there are times that I feel like giving up
I know there's reason for living today
Our life is sparking now
Growing up
Out hearts are getting strong
If we wanted to, we have a path to change the world
Sparking now
Search within
Your soul to find the answer
Push yourself to the edge
​Give 1000%

Endlessly searching, I'm still alone in this darkness, I try to hold on, but I lost you
You slip through my fingers, please, I need you, I need you to light my way
Maybe they're right, maybe I'll never know where I'm going
A warmth trails down my cheeks and I am comforted, but my sorrow turns them cold
What if I forget you? What if I lose the memory? Will I ever find a way to escape this hollowness that binds me?
Is this my fate? Is this love forbidden my destiny?
No (No)
Our lives can be our own design, together we can light the fire, and when the darkness fades away, the only future in my sight will be you

So take this burning heart, light the fire, let the passion burn!
If we light the path to help create a better world!
Burning Heart! Light the way, help us find the answers!
Push yourself to the edge
Give 1000%
