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.)
