Kanrininshitsu wa dare mo inai shiand there’s nobody in the manager’s office either.
Doa ni tachitsukushi genjitsutouhiStanding at the door, escaping from reality,
My god jinsei saitei no choisumy God, it’s the worst choice of my life.
Hito o utagai maketa saisho wa chokiDoubting people, I lost with ‘scissors’ at first,
1 ri kurai heya de omoidashitariremembering it alone in a dark room.
Tama ni touhi ni ukabu wankoinSometimes a single ‘500-yen coin’ floats in my escape,
I’m sorry kimi ni mo shikametsuraI’m sorry I gave you a sour face too.
Shite ai o chikatta oto ni 10 nenkanSwearing love to the sound for ten years,
Rabutaipu shindan wamy love-type diagnosis is

Uwakippoi ochoushimonoa fickle, flirty mood-maker.

Tte hibi ga orijinaru kakuteru niThose days turn into an original cocktail,
Atama naiibu demo aiteru gobimy head’s naive, but my ‘rhyme endings’ are wide open.
