English lyrics (official)[]

Heart throbbing endlessly,
soon I’ll need my maiden’s courage
Valentine's is coming soon
Sweet and a bit bitter,
painful like my feelings for you
Make me Maid me -
changing into
my favourite costume!

My heart flutters at the ticklish scent
Heart tokimeichau
Let's start!
I’m going to make it, with lots of LOVE
The very best chocolate!

Once I grasp my oversized sleeves tightly,
it’s the cue to start the mission!
Receive this colorful taste
of love before it melts
(Please!)
The chimes are ringing,
just us two by the school's window
Hey, I have to say it quickly...
I’m shy but
“I love you”
Let these feelings reach you

Tick tock - running wild,
I can’t stop this feeling
I’ll gather my courage slightly
to send you this love letter
No matter how many times I write “I love you”,
it won’t come across
Make me Fake me -
Send the coward me flying over the sky!

I’ll check myself again and again
before I meet you
I want to be 100 times cuter than usual for you
Staring contest in front of the mirror!

With a different sweetness
I want to capture your heart!
Constantly changing my hairstyle,
I can’t decide
(Geez!)
Simulate the confession,
my heart starts an uproar
I wish to the moonlit night...
Make or break!
Tomorrow it will surely be sunny

I need to tell you that I love you through and through
There’s no one else in this world that I would trade for you

Once I grasp my oversized sleeves tightly,
it’s the cue to start the mission!
Receive this colorful taste
of love before it melts
(Please!)
The chimes are ringing,
just us two by the school's window
Hey, I have to say it quickly...
I’m shy but
“I love you”
I love you!
daisuki!
Let these feelings reach you

Production and release[]

This is Takanashi Kiara's second single. Like her first, HINOTORI, Heart Challenger was released in collaboration with composer Kai Gojo, lyricist Aya Shinno, guitarist Daisuke Bito, and artist Mamaloni.

"Heart Challenger" has fewer uncommon kanji readings, but reads 「愛」, meaning "love" and commonly read "ai", instead as "rabu", the English word "love". YouTube subtitles on the music video provided a full official English translation of the lyrics.

In the music video, Kiara can be seen giving Valentine's chocolate to a girl with black-painted fingernails and a strand of pink hair. Although the recipient's face is hidden, fans quickly identified this character as Kiara's long-time love interest Mori Calliope. In 2023, Kiara identified the song as "kind of for Calli." She recommended that listeners swing towels above their head during the chorus, a tradition of Japanese idol concerts.[1]

Kiara was critical of the use of the font Comic Sans MS in the music video.

The song was released on 14 February 2021 to coincide with Valentine's Day. Kiara held a a Valentine's Day stream in the run-up to the release of her song's music video, as well as judging photos of fan-made chocolate and celebrating reaching 800,000 YouTube subscribers. Next, she held a lengthy superchat reading stream in which she discussed the song. She had previewed a clip of the song's chorus in earlier streams that month. The single release included an instrumental version.

Heart Challenger appeared on Kiara's first album, Point of View, released on 29 August 2023.
