ENG
I always say “I love you” as “The moon is beautiful tonight”
I eat noodles with the proper sound, always slurping
Silence is a beautiful sakura flower to be enjoyed
Everything I do is in homage to classic Japanese taste
Wanna, wanna be a tranquil spirit, but it can only be inherited by name
A fool would be either too quick to anger, or too quick to joke around
One day I went to return my fortune to the shrine by tying it around the tree
And I fell face down back in time
…What?!
Samurai (Hey!)
Face to face (Hey!)
Samurai
I think, or wish, I’m in Edo times?
Banzai (Hey!)
Wandering stranger (Hey!)
Banzai
Mount Fuji lies beautifully in the distance
They say ‘all things must pass’ all over the world
But the conflict of duty and humanity is just as universal and wondrous
Live by principle, and you will be fortified with a mind of bamboo
(Ay!) Hearts kindled inside softly swaying lanterns
In the old style houses, everyone works to live side by side in harmony
The shogun in the castle is formidable, but with admirable style
Standing like a tower, that honorable toothpick in mouth, equipped to end his life for honor
And then, tied up tight and strong…
…The topknot!
Samurai (Hey!)
Face to face (Hey!)
Samurai
His two blades are like pride and force
Banzai (Hey!)
Wandering stranger (Hey!)
Banzai
Again he ferries across the river
(With one’s feet as their horse)
I’m dancing for joy in the real Edo
There’s a nostalgic setting sun gilding each of the bells in the watchtower
A quest for glory, a tale that transcends the barrier of time
Bon rhyhtm!
Bon rhythm!
Bon rhythm! Rhythmism!
Our dance for Bon, the greatest festival
For great success in life, this is the formula
Shake it!
Shurikens flying
From the ninja in a kabuki play (Set me free!)
In the blue hours within castle walls, the oiran makes her procession
I’m falling down…
Samurai (Hey!)
Where’d they go?? (Hey!)
Samurai
I’m suddenly back to modern times
Banzai (Hey!)
Wandering stranger (Hey!)
Banzai
Skytree lies beautifully in the distance
Samurai
Hey, samurai, I’m going to live my own life now
Wallowing in the pit of despair must stop
Banzai!
Wandering stranger (Broken-hearted)
Banzai
I’ll never see them again, right?
I won’t cry

“I Love You”を「月が綺麗ですね」と訳す
麺類(ヌードル)音立てて食す、啜(すす)る
言わぬが花の桜を愛(め)でる
総じて“粋(いき)”にて候(そうろう)。
Wanna, Wanna be a 和な魂は襲名制
