17 years later, a different song with very similar motifs was released, even with Rica Matsumoto reprising her vocal role. It was titled Go! Now! ~Alive A life neo~ and served as the opening theme for the web series, Rider Time: Kamen Rider Ryuki.[1][2]

朝焼けに包まれて
走り出した 行くべき道を
情熱のベクトルが
僕の胸を貫いてゆく
どんな危険に傷つくことがあっても
夢よ踊れ
この地球のもとで
憎しみを映し出す
鏡なんて壊すほど
夢に向かえ
まだ不器用でも
生きている激しさを
体中で確かめたい!!!
太陽が遠ざかる
闇のなかで 迷うときでも
目を閉じて 胸にある声を聞けば 進んで行ける
誰より強く いのちの音を鳴らして
目を閉じて 胸にある声を聞けば 進んで行ける
誰より強く
いのちの音を鳴らして!
愛よ照らせ
この空の果ても
真実を惑わせる
鏡なんて割ればいい
愛を抱いて
いま君のために
進化するタマシイが
願っていた未来を呼ぶ
邪魔はさせない
弱気な叫び
振り返るな
道は遥か 続いてく
心を熱く
希望の色に燃やそう!
夢よ踊れ
この地球のもとで
憎しみを映し出す
鏡なんて壊すほど
愛よ照らせ
この空の果ても
真実を惑わせる
鏡なんて割ればいい
愛を抱いて
いま君のために
進化するタマシイが
願っていた未来を呼ぶ!!!

Bathed in sunlight, I took off
Running down the road I'm meant to travel
With the light's fiery vectors
piercing through my heart
No matter the danger I might face
Or the harm I might come to
Dance, my dreams
With fury enough to smash the mirrors
That reflect the hate
At the heart of our world
I want to pursue my dreams
In my own still-clumsy way
Feeling for the first time the rush running toward me
That comes from being alive
The sun is far
Even if you get lost in the dark
The chest that has eyes shut is there
If you listen to the voice you will proceed
Stronger than anybody
Ring out the sound of life
Illuminate love
to the extremities of this sky
it's distorting the truth
You can break the mirror
embrace love
for the you right now
The evolving soul
is calling out to the yearned future
don't interrupt
timid scream
Don't turn back
the path is continued to the distance
the heart is feverish
Burning in the color of hope
Jump the dream
to the side of this world
reflect on hatred
break the mirror
Illuminate love
to the limits of this sky
it's distorting the truth
you can break the mirror
embrace love
for the you right now
the evolving soul
is calling out to the yearned future
Notes[]
Starting from this series, the theme songs onwards will not contain "Kamen Rider" in the lyrics. This is mainly because Ryuki was the series that renewed the franchise, Kuuga and Agito having a lot of Showa elements.
The TV size version included in the original soundtrack releases do not include the chimes seen in the TV series' opening.
This is the only Kamen Rider opening to get an Arabic dub, as a result of Ryuki having an Arabic dub as well.
