[English]

Did you notice?

I was born 30 seconds ago, and the first words I heard were

Of course, I don't remember it all, but

I must have been happy then.

Even now, most things haven't really changed, or at least that's what I think.

Since my insides have changed, I guess that counts too!

(Please!)

Lighting up my phone's antenna

And knowing that back then, it was super cute too.

Or rather, it sounds like you're asking what an antenna is.

I like that you stick with me,

But honestly, what part of me do you like?

Hey? Hey? Hey?

You notice my most adorable qualities,

You're the coolest and most amazing! So incredible!

And the version of me you know — well, I guess that's the cutest one.

And I realized it too!

So

Saying ‘that’s cute’ or ‘that’s adorable’...

Or ‘who’s cute?’ or ‘that’s cute’...

Please don’t say things like ‘anyone else is cute,’ I don’t want anyone but me.

Isn’t that impossible?

I’ve realized it —

Every day, for a few seconds, I get praise and get excited about treats.

They become a little sweeter than others.

Just like I heard before.

Though, honestly, that sounds a bit weird.

I’m the type who wants to be told those things.

It’s okay to be more straightforward. I’ll wait.

(Please!)

No matter what you do or what face you show...

I’m always sure you’re super cute.

Are you perhaps the kind of person I just didn’t know, the one destined for me?

Sorry, but I can’t date just anyone.

But honestly, that would be less fun anyway.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You watch my most adorable parts very closely,

And you’re really super lucky to be with me!

And so that even after years, you’ll feel the same way.

I realized it too!

Even when we’re apart, I imagine what expression you have.

It’s kind of creepy how much I picture it.

And I tell myself, ‘That’s cute, that’s adorable.’

Really, you’re so cute that I can’t help but say it.

I’ve realized it — my most adorable qualities,

And you’re truly the most amazing person!

And the version of me you know — that’s the cutest.

I realized it too!

My most adorable qualities, you notice them so well.

You’re genuinely the luckiest person ever!

And so, even after many years, I want you to always feel the same.

I realize it too!

You notice my most adorable parts.

You’re really so lucky to have me!

And even after many years, I hope you’ll still think so.

I realized it too!

So

Please don’t say ‘that’s cute’ or ‘that’s adorable’ about other people.

Or about anyone else.

Please don’t say ‘they’re cute,’ I only want to hear about me.

Isn’t that impossible?
