[English]

Would someone,

just tell me they love me?

So annoying.

What even is "love"?

It's all becoming such a drag.

Even if I change my hair color,

Even if I let someone hold me on a whim,

Deep down,

deep in my heart, the tears keep flowing.

It's Monday, and I'm feeling depressed,

even waking up in the morning is hard.

They tell me "do your best," but how?

What exactly am I supposed to try hard at?

Dad, Mom. How are you doing?

Living life has a terrible cost-performance ratio.

In this world

where nothing is interesting,

dance to make it fun!

Dad, Mom. Are you two doing okay?

Please live a long, long life.

I'm skipping my bath tonight.

I'm hungry...

Is there seriously nothing to eat~~!

Even if I try a different part-time job,

Even if I make funny faces,

Strike three! Three outs! Change!

S-Saturday, all-you-can-eat buffet.

My stomach is sticking out too much, it's painful.

For now, I'm just gonna sulk in bed!

I hope I have a good dream~~!

This song is based on the death poem of Yoshida Shoin,

"In this world where nothing is interesting, make it interesting,"

and the famous addition by Nomura Botoni, who nursed him,

who added, "It is the heart that makes the world." It's an inspired song!

This might actually be on your next test!

This was Sakai Jr.

Dad, Mom. How are you doing?

The world is beyond lazy; it's just exhausting.

In this world

where nothing is interesting,

laugh to make it fun!

Dad, Mom. Are you two doing okay?

Fortune comes to those who smile.

I'm totally worn out!

I have to take a bath!

Is the water not even hot yet~~

[Japanese]

誰か、あたしのこと

好きと言ってくれる？

うざったい

好きって、なに？

めんどくさくなってる

髪の色、変えても

ノリで抱かれてても

ココロのずっと

奥に流れるナミダ

月曜日、病んじゃって

朝起きるのも　つらい

がんばれって、何をどう？

がんばればいいの？

パパ、ママ。ごきげんいかが？

いきるって、コスパ悪いね

おもしろきこと

もなきこの世を

おもしろく、踊れ！

パパ、ママ。こそ、だいじょうぶ？

まだまだ長生きしてね

風呂キャンするね

おなか空いたよ

なんも、ないのかよぉ～～～！

バイト変えてみても

変顔してみても

見逃し三振！スリーアウトで！チェンジ！

ど、土曜日、バイキング

腹出すぎてて、つらい

とりあえず、ふて寝、なう！

いい夢をみてぇ～～～！

この曲は高杉晋作の辞世の句

「おもしろきこともなき世をおもしろく」

看病していた野村望東尼が

「すみなすものは心なりけり」と加えた名句からのインスパイアソングなんだ！

今度のテストに出ちゃうかもよー！

サカイJr.でした

パパ、ママ。ごきげんいかが？

だるいよりのだるい世だね

おもしろきこと

もなきこの世を

おもしろく、笑え！

パパ、ママ。こそ、だいじょうぶ？

笑う門に福来る

めちゃくたびれた！

風呂つかんなきゃ！

わいて、ないのかよぉ～～～
