Translation: “Furo wa kyuukyoku gokuraku shisetsu!!” (En’s character song)
And here’s En in fine form with Japan’s Eurovision entry for 2017 (er, I mean his new character song from "Love Fountain!", yes I do.)
This is just fantastic all around :D please appreciate it as I do.
Japanese lyrics are again from Hitomin’s blog, with thanks. Please message me with any errors.
