ZOCX sings the opening chorus on the album Hime 6 Warriors, giving the track a playful energy that jumps between desire and doubt. 大森靖子 writes the words, and Seiko Omori creates the melody, both using half twin tails as a visual hook. The lyrics ask why a boy cannot understand, while the beat invites listeners to split their feelings in two.
大森靖子 asks, ‘I think I like you, maybe,’ turning hesitation into a short line that repeats the half twin tails motif. She describes a girl pulling half twin tails so tight the hair hurts, showing how being fierce and gentle can coexist. The poet mentions a pinky finger promise to keep the tie despite laughs, a concrete image that steadies the verses.
Futarijime dame dame neeDon’t try to keep us both for yourself.
Futari wo ijimenai deDon’t pick on the two of us.
Nande wakannai no ka wakannaiI don’t know why you don’t understand.
Otokonoko sugite kimi wa poorYou’re just too much of a boy, so you’re lacking.
Suki kana neeI think I like you, maybe.
Dakaratte ijimenai deBut even so, don’t bully me.
Watashi kawaii maindo no oku no houDeep inside my ‘cute’ mind,
Onnanoko sugite muuI’m being way too much of a girl, hmph!
Kimi no sei de yanden noniEven though I’m spiraling because of you,
Mendokusai onna tokayou call me a ‘troublesome woman’ or whatever.
Masaka sutetari shita to shiteEven if you actually decided to dump me,
Jiriki de takutte kaeru kedooI’d pull myself back together and head home on my own.
Buchigirete nigete moEven if I snap and run away,
Mitsukete kureru oujisama ga ii naaI want a prince who’ll come find me.
Haafutsuin hanbun dake kyutto futatsu ni musubu no waTying my hair in ‘half-twintails’ so tightly in two spots,
Hanbun dake yurushite hoshii kana watashi nanka ga onnanoko demoI just want you to accept half of me, even if someone like me is a girl.
Haafutsuin zenbu wa dame chottoShowing all of myself at once is a bit too much.
Warawareta to shite mo hanbun nara tsuranuite rareru yoEven if I’m laughed at, I can stay true if it’s only half.
Moshi yande mo hanbunko de haafutsuin uoozuEven if I’m feeling down, we’ll split it in half in these Half-Twin Wars.
Mecha yamecha dame dame neeDon’t go being totally reckless.
Rabu wo akiramenai deDon’t give up on love.
Unmei nante deai gacha dashiFate is just a ‘random draw’ anyway.
Jitsuryoku de koi shitaiI want to love using my own real strength.
Ikiterya dou ni ka naruIf you’re still alive, things will work out somehow.
Saiaku no keiken shita bunFor every terrible experience I’ve had,
Kyapa hirogatte saikoumy capacity grows, and it’s the best!
Kimi no sei de mata kawaiku narechau naaBecause of you, I’ll end up getting even cuter again.
Haafutsuin hanbun dake kyutto mada itai kamo kedoMy ‘half-twintails’ are tied tight; it might still hurt a bit,
Hanbun dake yurushite ageru kara koyubi dake demo nakanaori shiyobut I’ll forgive half of it, so let’s make up even if it’s just with our pinky fingers.
Haafutsuin zenbu zenbu nankaEverything, everything about these ‘half-twintails’,
Dainashi na yoru toka kouteikan buchisagatte moeven if the night is ruined or my self-esteem hits rock bottom.
Ashita ni nareba mata musubu yo haafutsuin uoozuWhen tomorrow comes, I’ll tie them up again for the Half-Twin Wars.
Haafutsuin hanbun dake kyutto futatsu ni musubu no waTying my hair in ‘half-twintails’ so tightly in two spots,
Hanbun dake yurushite hoshii kana watashi nanka ga onnanoko demoI just want you to accept half of me, even if someone like me is a girl.
Haafutsuin zenbu wa dame chottoShowing all of myself at once is a bit too much.
Warawareta to shite mo hanbun nara tsuranuite rareru yoEven if I’m laughed at, I can stay true if it’s only half.
Moshi yande mo hanbunko de haafutsuin uoozuEven if I’m feeling down, we’ll split it in half in these Half-Twin Wars.
