Youhou youryou dogaishi gouhou Doping timeIgnoring the dosage and capacity, it’s legal doping time
Shitai no you ni nou wa Happy Happy Happy DanceJust like a corpse, my brain’s doing a happy, happy, happy dance
“Chotto dake kyuukei” de owaretara wake nai waIf I could really stop after “just a short break,” it wouldn’t be this easy
