Adults-Only Time (大人の時間）

Rei: Let’s drink the night away.

[Rei]

Don’t go making that face baby

Let’s have a nice drink together baby

You have to end the day with a nice fun drink

Take your exhaustion, worries, sadness, and drink it all away

I won’t let anyone interrupt this adults-only time

This secret time children could never understand

Spit out today’s worries today

You’ll still be living tomorrow, right? We’ll say cheers again and again

Rei: Is there anyone you respect?

Rosho: What’s this about?

Rei: Just answer!

Rosho: Don’t tell him, but… Sasara. 

[Rosho] 

He has so much that I just don’t

He can charm people like it’s nothing, he’s a genius

When he opens his mouth, everyone laughs

I can’t say it to his face, but I’ve always admired him from behind

Rosho: Rei, do you have someone you respect?

Rei: Me? I…

[Rei]

I had one too, a person to respect

Someone who had everything I didn’t

When I look at you two, I remember us

But they’re no longer in this world; This’s an old, old story

Rosho: Hey. Rei. Did you ever want them to acknowledge you?

Rei:

Oh, looks like you’ve got an empty glass!

Rosho: What’s with that?

Rei: Drink up! The adults-only time isn’t over yet.

[Rei]

I won’t let anyone interrupt this adults-only time

This secret time children could never understand

The past and future can all be washed away

Let’s make a toast to living for the future

Rei: Well, I’ve had too much to drink. Time for me to go home.

Rosho: If you’re leaving, then finish your sentence from earlier!

Rei: That’s something… that only has value when you find it yourself, don’t you think?

[Rei]

I won’t let anyone interrupt this adults-only time

This secret time children could never understand

The sweet and the sour, drink them both down

And let’s spend this adults-only time together

[representshinjuku]

The Lost Piece (失くしたピース）

Sasara: We haven’t changed…? Maybe you’re right. We really… How’d we turn out like this?

[Sasara]

At the start we fit together a whole lot better

I thought I could do anything with him at my side

But when did it start between us?

Before I knew it a gaping hole had opened up 

A precious piece, a lost feeling

Right in the center of the puzzle called ‘trust’

How can we fill the missing gap?

Where could the piece we lost be? 

[Sasara & Rosho] 

This piece, this feeling

[Sasara]

The hole in my heart has never been filled

[Sasara & Rosho] 

That piece, that feeling

[Sasara]

The days we laughed together are now…

[Sasara & Rosho] 

This piece, this feeling

[Sasara]

The hole in my heart has never been filled

[Sasara & Rosho] 

That piece, that feeling

[Sasara]

I only realized its weight once it was gone

[representshinjuku]

Their Truths（それぞれの真実）

Ichiro: Come on, Jiro. I’ll face you for real.

Rei: Let’s fight, Saburo!

Sasara: I’ll knock you right out, Rosho!

All: Let’s go!

[All]

Now, let’s go blow for blow, no need to hold back

Let’s go; accept the full force of my will

Now, let’s go blow for blow, no need to hold back

Okay, c’mon, throw your will straight at me

The story’s begun, serious as we’ve ever been

Between the inconvenient truths are our true feelings

No more small talk, all that’s left is to destroy

Our punchlines cross the border and let us grab the truth

[Rosho] 

I always respected you, from the moment we formed our combo

That’s why I never wanted your concern

Rather than saying it’s ‘all okay’ I wanted you to rely on me

That’s the one thing I always wanted you to say to me

With my own power I’m going to stand by your side 

I’ll show you there’s nobody else who could do what I can

I’m going to be your equal and stand by your side

I’ll see the greatest sights from the top with you, definitely

Sasara: Not bad. You’re a whole different person from the prelims.

Rosho: Your turn! Come at me with serious blows. 

Sasara: Of course. That’s what I planned!

[Sasara]

When you give me the answer that’s exactly right

But then why in the world didn’t you say it sooner!?

Instead of making nonsense declarations about ending things

Just how long do you think I struggled over that?

It’s not just about me, you held back too much

Bring on your feelings, the things I could never see

I’m a comedian, not a mind-reader

I’m not gonna understand unless you use your words

[Jiro] 

I lived life believing in you entirely, 

Every day frantically chasing after you 

You’re always one step ahead, I thought it’d always be that way

To me that was just totally, completely normal

But now I know I can’t go on like that, I can’t be anyone else than me

I’m myself, not you - if I wasn’t I’d never change

I’m finishing this with my own ways

Aniki, I’m fighting to surpass the massive wall that’s you

Jiro: Come on, Aniki. I’ll show you I can surpass you.

Ichiro: That makes me happy, Jiro. But I won’t let you do that so easily!

[Ichiro]

Your spirit’s ready to fight, I feel that reaching me

But you’re still too naive, you don’t know enough of the world

I’ve walked ahead of you– not one step but ten, a hundred, a thousand

I’m far in the distance, clearing the way

While you took one step I’ve taken a hundred

It’s only natural there’s a gap between us; I’m writing a new history

I’m not free enough to keep waiting for you

If you’ve got regrets, keep up with me now; You have no other choice

[Saburo]

Why did you abandon us? Why did you come back now?

What were you planning, trying to separate the three of us?

I won’t forgive you for looking down on us, toying with us like this

I can’t call a man like that my father; I won’t acknowledge it

Rei: Pretty great lyrics. Now it’s my turn.

[Rei]

You’re going to find the truth, aren’t you? Then let me tell you something

In all of you kids flows my blood

Reject it, fight it, the truth won’t change

No matter what you do you can’t escape from me

[Saburo]

We can’t run from you? Don’t mess around, here’s the truth

Our path is one we decide for ourselves

What have you done up until now? I won’t let you rewrite your history

You can’t bring up bonds of blood only when it’s to leverage your advantage

[Rei]

The path you’ve traveled is one I’ve created for you

Deny it all you like but bonds of blood don’t disappear

If you don’t want to be bound to your shitty dad

Then you’ll have to cut those chains with the power you’ll find

Rei: What will you do? Can you keep going?

Saburo: I’m not finished yet!!

[Saburo]

Just as you say, there’s things I can’t deny

But what’s important now is that we can’t return to the past

I don’t care what you say, I don’t care about the superfluous

My truth is this and this alone

Ichi-nii always raised and supported me

Jiro has always stayed by my side

Ichi-nii and Jiro are my family, no one else

Especially not you - my road doesn’t lead to your side

Rei: Let’s stop here. 

Saburo: What do you mean?

Rei: Sorry. But I can’t have it out with you. If you want to finish this, come up with Ichiro to the Division Battle Championships. I’ll be waiting. 

Saburo: Division Battle?

[Ichiro]

Overtake me? Ha, don’t even joke

I won’t lose to anyone; I won’t let anyone in front of me

I’m nobody’s imitation; I’m the greatest original

I walk on believing that - that’s the rule I’ve written

Jiro: Damn it..

Ichiro: Are you done already? You’re better than that, aren’t you?

Jiro: ‘M not done! Not yet. Not yet!

[Jiro] 

I finally understand my own weakness 

Catching up to you one day was always my goal

The way I saw you meant I only dragged us down

Not one day but now! I’m not catching up, I’m overtaking you!

From now on I’m walking a little ahead of you

I’ll pull you along, so keep the pace and follow behind

The guy you can trust your back to - that’s me! 

Don’t forget it! I’ll make you understand that!

Ichiro: Jiro…

Jiro: Aniki! I… I–

Ichiro: Jiro! You’re the best. The best. Jiro…

Sasara: We’re both all beat up, huh. We should stop this soon.

Rosho: Not yet!

Sasara: Rosho…

[Rosho] 

I told you not to hold back! You’re always like this

At the very end of it all you can’t look me in the eye

You called us partners, didn't you? You called us equals, didn’t you?

Unless you can look me in the eye, too, that’s all impossible

Don’t run from me! Look at me! I’m right here!

Don’t hold back, look here, I’m right here!

You called us partners, didn't you? You called us equals, didn’t you?

Then come at me for real, and never hold back again!

[Sasara]

Facing you, facing myself, 

I finally understand the answer only I can find

I couldn’t trust anyone but myself

Because I thought bonds could break so easily

So all my connections were only surface-level

I closed myself off in that darkness willingly

The trust I had in you wasn’t real 

And the bond I had with you wasn't…I let go of you.

Rosho: Sasara…

Sasara: The fact you developed stage fright, and the fact our combo broke up… It’s all… all my fault! I thought I wanted to make a real bond with you, but. I’m sorry, Rosho. I’m so sorry. 

[Rosho] 

You wanted to make a real bond with me?

Why in the past tense? Give it a rest you idiot!

Sure, we failed, but we can still try again

This time we’re going to build up a real bond

[Sasara]

You’re the idiot! Don’t say it like it’s so easy!

I held back your growth with my fake ‘kindness’

I pretended like I trusted you, but did anything but

I realize that now, that’s my truth!

Sasara: Someone like me can’t say that. I don’t even have the right to be your friend. 

Rosho: Nobody needs the right to make friends!

Sasara: Rosho...

Rosho: If you can’t trust, then I’ll make it so you can. So don’t you run from me either! 

Sasara: Rosho… What’re you doing? Stupid! 

Rosho: That’s my line, stupid!

Sasara: IDIOT!

Rosho: Shut up! Stupid.

Brothers’ Battle Round 3 （兄弟喧嘩Round3）

[Saburo]

You’re really pathetic, imbecile

I’m so sick of seeing your gloomy face

A guy like this’s my brother? 

Give me a break, if I could I’d disown you

[Jiro] 

Ah, shuddup, who the hell’s an imbecile

Why do you think you get to lecture me?

I’ve been doin’ a lotta thinking on my own

C’mon, brat. Get outta here

[Saburo]

You want to think on your own?

With that tiny brain you’ll never get a train going

What’s going to change from thinking on your own?

Let me hear your answer now

[Jiro] 

Shuddup! I’m facing myself head-on

With my true feelings 

And what about you, huh? 

All you do is hide your true thoughts

Counterfeit’s written all over your face

You don’t know who to believe either

If you’re gonna lie to yourself, too

Then you’re the lamest guy here

Saburo: I know that. 

Jiro: Huh?

Saburo: I know that! 

Jiro: Saburo…

[Saburo]

Ever since then, my heart’s been discomposed

I can’t shake the memory of his shadow

In my head I understand but for some reason I can’t keep up,

Can’t make the pieces a whole

But right now there’s something we need to do,

A battle we need to win

Yeah, all our worries come after that

If we don’t fight we can’t move forward

[Jiro] 

I want to fight, too

But I still don’t know what to believe, so I can’t move forward

Because I believed in Nii-chan, my hero

But that might’ve been wrong

Where’s the truth hiding, huh?

I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Saburo: I don’t know what the truth is either. But.

Jiro: But what?

Saburo: But then we just have to find our own truths.

[Saburo]

We need to find our own reasons to fight and our own answers, too

If we find them we can move forward; our truth should be there somewhere

Saburo: Right, Jiro?

Jiro: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. Let’s find our truth.

[Jiro] 

Yo, it’s just like you say, we have to find our own answers

I relied on Nii-chan too much

And ended up giving up on thinking like you

Pretty lame, right?

Saburo: Yeah, you’re lame.

Jiro: Oi. You are too. Lame and timid.

Saburo: Shut up, imbecile. 

Jiro: Shuddup, brat.

[Jiro & Saburo]

From here on out it’s up to us

To find our truth and answers

Jiro: Okay, I’m going.

Saburo: Where?

Jiro: To Nii-chan. I need to talk to him for real. 

Saburo: I see. 

Jiro: What’ll you do?

Saburo: I… I’m going to find it. My truth. 

Jiro: Got it. Saburo. Thanks a lot.

Saburo: You too. Thank you, Jiro.

Dissonance（不協和音）

Announcer: The Preliminary tournament A/B Bloc will now commence! Get ready! Bring the beat!

[All]

Our battle’s finally begun

You wanna sleep? Then here’s your lullaby

Send rhymes flying no hesitation

Sprinting out from the start to strike you down

The drum bangs loud as a bomb

Get our hopes up but the competition’s a let down

Wimps get outta the way; here’s the deal

The winners here will be us

Sasara: Rosho, what’re you spacin’ out for!? It’s your turn! Rosho? What’s wrong?

Ichiro: Let’s get ‘em, Jiro. Jiro? 

Saburo: Hey. At least answer him.

Jiro: Shaddup.

[Jiro] 

I dunno what’s what anymore

[Rosho]  

I just can’t fight well with my heart like this

[Jiro] 

There’s one reason why

[Rosho] 

This is all I know for certain

[Jiro & Rosho]  

I can’t depend on anyone else right now

[Jiro] 

I wanna believe but I just can’t

[Rosho] 

I know I can’t go on like this but I can’t do better

[Jiro & Rosho] 

In my head I know it but my body says no 

And that rejection seizes my heart, too

[Ichiro]

I can hear the dissonance clearly

[Sasara]

Acting frantically without knowing what’s wrong

[Ichiro]

But now’s not the time to be focused on that

[Sasara]

Because we can’t be losing here

[Ichiro]

Just look forwards

[Sasara]

Clench your fist

[Sasara & Ichiro]

And before anything beat the enemy before you

[Ichiro]

Raise your first

[Sasara]

Let the sound ring

[Sasara & Ichiro]

And before anything crush the enemy before you

Announcer: Winner! Dotsuitare Hompo! Winner! Buster Bros!!!

[Ichiro]

Our battle’s finally begun

[Sasara]

But the dissonance’s still ringing in my ears

[Ichiro]

Even if I pretend I can’t hear it rings through my brain

[Sasara]

Those mismatched footsteps follow me still 

[Sasara & Ichiro]

What’s wrong? Something is wrong

But I don’t understand! How do I make this stop? 

This endless sound of dissonance

Dissonance eating me away

[representshinjuku]

Rosho vs Ichiro

Ichiro: Then bring it. It’s on. 

Sasara: Okay Rosho! Go win it all!

[Rosho] 

I don’t hold any ill-will towards you 

But that also means I don’t have a reason not to fight

Sorry but I’ll use you as my springboard to progress

And if you’re gonna fly high I’ll send you soaring

I’m aiming to be the only one; I know plain as day

That I don’t want to hold my friends back

I know I have to grow, I’m starting here

I won’t be their burden, a weight on them

Ichiro: You pick a fight when you’re only this good? Sorry, but I’m ending this now.

[Ichiro]

You’re not the one I wanna do in

This’s a pain in the ass, I can’t even focus

Get outta my way, the guy I want’s back there

Try and aim for the throat if you even can

You’re not good enough to try and match me

Do your penance where you won’t get in the way

Get outta here, it’s dangerous, look to your side

‘Cuz right now I’m gonna send Sasara flying

Ichiro: How ‘bout it? I fought this guy like you wanted. Take back what you said about my brothers.

Rosho: Wait! It’s not over. 

Sasara: Rosho–

Ichiro: Quit it. I want Sasara-san to–

Rosho: Shut up! It’s always about Sasara, Sasara… I’m here too! Not just Sasara. Me! 

[Rosho] 

What’s wrong with everyone? I’ve heard this over and over

Everyone’s always watching my side, never me!

I’m right here, try opening your eyes and using them

I’m always putting in my proper entry

I’ll definitely see this through, I’ll definitely see this through

Bitter memories and this Mic will drive me through the boundary 

Don’t look to my side, I’m right here in front of you

Remember my name, I’m Tsutsujimori Rosho

Sasara: Rosho...

Ichiro: Not bad. I’m not holding back either.

[Ichiro]

Not bad but you’re still fallin’ short

You still need another step before I get fired up

[Rosho] 

One step or ten, I’ll take a hundred if you want

I’ll make it to the destination so you better revise

[Ichiro]

Ha! Like I’d let you run a red pen over me

I’m on such a roll that no one can stop me

[Rosho] 

As if I care when I’m kickin’ the verse

I’m no chicken that’ll turn his back and run

Sasara: This’s bad, this is gonna get dangerous!

Ichiro: That all you got!?

Rosho: Don’t underestimate me!

Sasara: STOOOOOP!!

[representshinjuku]

Jiro vs Rei

Saburo: Jiro!?

Jiro: Stay back, Saburo. I’ll wipe that smirk off his face.

Rei: Sounds good. I called Ichiro to Osaka just so I could come meet you here. Let’s play a nice game, just us. 

[Jiro] 

I’m not gonna believe your nonsense

I only believe Nii-chan

You show up after all this time sayin’ your our father

No way something that stupid’s true

No way Nii-chan’s ever lied to me

I never wanted your real bad surprise

Everything about you’s fishy

And I’m not gettin’ fooled 

 Rei: Well, I’ll give you a passing grade at least. 

Jiro: Damnit. He didn’t even feel it.

Rei: Well, looks like it’s my turn.

[Rei]

Ultimately, you’re nothing but Ichiro’s lackeys

If you’re shaken up here you can’t become original

Like a painting drawn with no passion 

Your power leaves much to be desired

You happy just licking each other’s wounds?

Where’d you lose your backbone at, huh?

If you want to change then come with me

Leave Ichiro behind and grow stronger

Rei: Honestly, I’m disappointed in you. To think he raised you this poorly… 

Jiro: You damn–

Rei: I’ll say it again. If you want to get stronger, then come with me. Because you won’t ever get any stronger like this.

Jiro: How many times do I gotta say it? We’d never go with you. 

Saburo: That’s right. We’re following Ichi-nii. 

Rei: Is that so. Well, think it over. Whether you can really trust your precious Ichiro or not, that is. 

[representshinjuku]

Something About A Father’s Name（父親という名の何か）

[Ichiro]

He never once acted like a father to me

In fact I’m still inside the nightmare

He didn’t allow me to depend on him

And I never even understood the reason why

His surname, his given name, I know them both

His voice, his silhouette, I remember them still

The man that abandoned us

That man I tried pretending was dead

For him to be here, now, what the hell does he want?

Why is he trying to come back and mess up my life?

How can he stroll back in so shamelessly?

Stay outta our area and never come back

He’s not my father; I don’t acknowledge him as my father

But his blood runs through me, too

He’s not my father; I don’t acknowledge him as my father

And if he has my father’s name, then so what?

That ‘what’ throws my heart into chaos

That ‘what’ steals everything precious to me

He’s not my father; I don’t acknowledge him as my father

And if he has my father’s name, then so what?
