Shishido Ryou - SO・BA・GA・RA daze!

It's SO・BA・GA・RA!

Are you ready?

NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA
NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA

SO When we arrive in the room, first
BA let's check the bed
GA Our battle
RA has suddenly started

SO check the hardness by striking it
BA check the sound by rubbing it
GA Is the weight just right?
RA Are the sheets new?

Rather than personality, rather than the social standing of ones family, you should choose...

Write "Buckwheat husk"
try to read it as "Youth"
Aa, the blood you feel
That's right, it's love

NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA
NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA

SO We go to bed early
BA haven't even talked with each other yet
GA When it comes to battles, early bird gets the worm
RA Don't let your guard down, partner

SO Believe in the dictionary
BA But I'm a little interested in palm reading
GA This is our war cry!
RA make sure to win, partner

In fact, even the criteria for winning or losing doesn't know the rules

For the lame loser
I lay down a futon
Well, close your eyes
You'll see good dreams for sure

"Hey Choutarou, don't forget.
Effort is not something you say to yourself.
You can say it's an effort only after you have a person recognize it.
To challenge the unknown world...
you do it because you believe your future is there.

Choutarou, do you know this Haiku?
'Ah, buckwheat husks! all that remains of the warriors' dreams.' *
...Eeh? You really know it? ...wow..."

NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA
NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA

Rather than personality, rather than the social standing of ones family, you should choose...

Write "Buckwheat husk"
try to read it as "Youth"
Aa, the blood you feel
That's right, it's love

NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA
NOT SO BAD！ SO・BA・GA・RA

Good night everyone
I back off with a dash
Before I get a good scolding
I pretend to sleep...
When I realize,
it's morning already



* This is a famous haiku about the impermanence of human glory written by Matsuo Bashou in 1689, but instead of Sobagara, it was Natsu kusa, meaning the summer grasses.

(Interesting song, I guess it's about Ryou and Choutarou having a sleepover and they are "fighting" over who gets to sleep on the bed and who gets the futon xD
And I guess the Buckwheat husks (sobagara) are used for stuffing pillows, sure enough Ryou has a pillow in the cover.)

Various artists - Party Time

  

Party Time

We're having too much fun, so we can't stop
Everyone has gathered for this Party Time
At times I think things get a little carried away
and we get in trouble

Battle-hardened warriors
make the most absurd swing in history
Everything is just unbeliavable
A fantastic idea, dazzling miracle

I want to keep watching it with you forever,
the continuation of this endless dream
We're always connected
I will make you smile, I will give you love
You're the best, my friends

Nothing we do is useless
it all makes our history
Even if we make a mistake, let's get over it
with an effortless step

Let's think outside the box
the challenges of trial and error
are an endless uproar
This ecstasy won't stop, wonderful

I want to keep hugging it with you forever,
The magic of love I just can't get enough of
We will always be smiling
I will make you smile, I will give you love
Let's celebrate, my friends

Battle-hardened warriors
make the most absurd swing in history
Everything is just unbeliavable
A fantastic idea, dazzling miracle

I want to keep watching it with you forever,
the continuation of this endless dream
We're always connected
I will make you smile, I will give you love
You're the best, my friends

Shiraishi Kuranosuke - Empty Sky

Empty Sky

Feel it now
The blinding sky, the taut blue
The summer's elegy that had a trace of sadness

All the times when I was preparing to win are my self-confidence
Show me the full extent of that power of yours

Silently the court starts to heat up
The cheers from the distance make me focus myself

Don't let me down
What are you carrying on your shoulders, what are you looking forward to?
I will find out for sure, so confess
Show your force
Miscalculations are saddening
But surely the moment when you can carve your victory
is right around the corner

Brave it out
Are you disguising yourself in such a predicament?
It will stand in the way of your real-time evolution

Is strenght that can't be predicted a mark of a genius?
But we both do not have even a trace of wanting to give up

We acknowledge each other as being worthy rivals
Right now it's just the two of us in this world

Don't let you down
I have feelings that went beyond their mission
resisting it and aspiring for it
In my belief
I'll never waver until the end of my convictions
I don't wish for a disappointing conclusion
so I give it my all

Time stopped inside the raging wind
I stand still after noticing everything is over

Don't let you down
Carrying the past with me, I look at the present
I clench my teeth at the question that has no answer

So Empty Sky
While looking up, I promise to myself
to continue searching for the unseen light
beyond all the disappointments
