Three Two One Go! Three Two One Go! Three Two One Go!

Do you know? どう言うの? Do you know? dou iu no? Do you know what to say?
なにを選ぶの nani wo erabu no What will you choose?
Do you know? どう言うの? Do you know? dou iu no? Do you know what to say?
神も殺すよ kami mo korosu yo I’ll kill even God

特に選んだ記憶もなく toku ni eranda kioku mo naku I don’t really remember making this choice
この世界に生まれ落ちてた kono sekai ni umareochiteta Yet I was born into this world, just like that
だからこそ泣いて dakarakoso naite That must be why I cried
嫌だって拒んだはず iya datte kobanda hazu And said that I don’t want this
そんな日からここまで来た sonna hi kara koko made kita Since that day, I’ve come this far

ああ 起きろ起きろ起きろって声が aa okiro okiro okirotte koe ga Ah, a voice asking me to wake up, wake up
ああ 遠くで誰かが言うの aa tooku de dare ka ga iu no Is coming from afar
もしもひとりになって moshimo hitori ni natte Even if I end up all alone
世界が敵になって sekai ga teki ni natte With the whole world as my enemy
それがなんだって言うの sore ga nan datte iu no So what?
平気だろ heiki daro It’s no big deal, right?

What is justice? Who is justice? What is justice? Who is justice? What is justice? Who is justice?
I always ask, I keep asking I always ask, I keep asking I always ask, I keep asking
What is a Hero? 今日も眠ろう What is a Hero? kyou mo nemurou What is a Hero? Let’s sleep again tonight

心だけが先を急いで kokoro dake ga saki wo isoide My heart is in a rush
体のほうがついてこない karada no hou ga tsuitekonai But my body can’t keep up with it
うまく運ばず今日も七転八倒 umaku hakobazu kyou mo shichitenbattou Unable to move the way I want, I’m in agony even today
そんなもんだ 世の条理は sonna mon da yo no jouri wa That’s just the way this world is

ドーパミンならどばどばでる doopamin nara dobadoba deru More and more dopamine is pumped out
夜も眠れず朝になってる yoru mo nemurezu asa ni natteru After a sleepless night, it’s morning again
今日も寝不足 ふらふらと出かける kyou mo nebusoku furafura to dekakeru Sleep deprived yet again, I set out with unsteady steps
それでも勝つ それがヒーロー soredemo katsu sore ga Hero Even so, victory will be mine—That’s what a Hero is

ああ ただそばに居てって aa tada soba ni itette Ah, I want to someone to stay by my side
どう言うの dou iu no How can I say that?
ああ 何も出ないよ aa nani mo denai yo Ah, I can’t find the words
どう言うの dou iu no What can I say?
もうよくわからないよ mou yoku wakaranai yo I don’t really know anymore
時に膝も突くよ toki ni hiza mo tsuku yo Sometime I fall to my knees
もう一度立ち上がる勇気を mou ichido tachiagaru yuuki wo Give me the courage to stand up once again

未来のことはどうでもいい mirai no koto wa dou demo ii I don’t care about the future
12の3で消えてしまえ ichi ni no san de kieteshimae I want it to disappear on the count of three
いっそそれならせいせいはするけど isso sore nara seisei wa suru kedo In that case, I’d feel lighter
それのどこがヒーローなの sore no doko ga Hero na no But can someone like that be called a Hero?

ああ 起きろ起きろ起きろって声が aa okiro okiro okirotte koe ga Ah, a voice asking me to wake up, wake up
ああ 遠くで誰かが言うの aa tooku de dare ka ga iu no Is coming from afar
うるさい黙ってくれ urusai damattekure Shut up, you’re annoying
今はこうしてたい ima wa koushitetai This is what I want to do right now
春の陽だまりの中で haru no hidamari no naka de Under the sunlight of spring

ああ 時に弱音も吐くよ aa toki ni yowane mo haku yo Ah, sometimes I’ll whine and complain
ああ そりゃ孤独は嫌でしょ aa sorya kodoku wa iya desho Ah, well, of course, no one likes being lonely
なにか大切なこと nanika taisetsuna koto I’ve forgotten about something important
忘れたままでいる wasureta mama de iru And I still can’t remember it
それでもきみさえ居れば soredemo kimi sae ireba Even so, if at least you’re there
それでいいのかも sore de ii no kamo Maybe that’s all I need

Do you know? どう言うの? Do you know? dou iu no? Do you know what to say?
なにを選ぶの nani wo erabu no What will you choose?
Do you know? どう言うの? Do you know? dou iu no? Do you know what to say?
神も殺すよ kami mo korosu yo I’ll kill even God


Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:

From the intro to the verse, the key changes in a weird way. Izumi, Tojo, Aikawa and Kunimi sing together in the intro and outro. They started doing this with "Arifureta Battle Song," and it looks great in the music videos. When recording, Suzuki Konomi-san records first, after which XAI-san records the rest. Recently, however, Suzuki-san has been doing a second take, saying that she wants to try again while taking XAI-san’s nuances into account. Like Suzuki-san said herself, if we had a studio where they could both record at the same time, they could consider each other's performance and decide on their own approach in real time. But that's out of our reach right now. I hope we can record in a place like that one day.
