Taitatsu dattara kore furu konboIf this were a ‘rhythm game’, I’d have a full combo
MORIAGE MATSURI wo yatte mo madaEven if we throw a ‘hype festival’, it’s still…
Tarinai kara orera yacchau mata…not enough, so we’re gonna do it again
Shigoto wa shikkari sumaseru karaI’ll make sure the job gets done, so…
