Night Breeze (夜風)
[Doppo] Missing the last train home First one’s not ‘til morning Left with nowhere to go Asphalt cracked with dandelions
You’ve got it rough too, huh? Overtime on endless loop No siren to go home on time I swear I’m not gonna cry
Because right now, yeah, I work so hard The road I walk’s a dungeon now But look, now it’s time to turn over Coming home to a delicious dinner
I can’t stay here moping around I wanna be the one who gets the last laugh That’s why I’m holding out here as I am a little longer, To make it
[Matenrou] Until the night breaks—Oh ei oh Until the sun rises—Oh ei oh Even if you can’t see the way forward—Oh ei oh Know that the dawn will always arrive—Oh ei oh
[Hifumi] Within this sleepless city Colorful neon signs Forget your painful reality And dream out a brief story
Laughing as we’re talking About our past story And just like a blanket It envelops us completely
Our serious trauma, written into a drama The answer is surely within the night breeze I’ve even started wanting to hear a reason From the woman I said I’d never forgive
Burning yourself out won’t get you anywhere, Surely you’ll return to yourself in the end Then I want to stand here, just as I am Until the morning light breaks
[Matenrou] Until the morning comes—Oh ei oh Until the light touches you—Oh ei oh Even if the night is pitch-dark—Oh ei oh Know you’re never alone within it—Oh ei oh
[Jakurai] Knowing the realities of this world Seeing sleepless dreams The wall is unscalably high But I’d like to climb it regardless
The pasts we wish to keep hidden and The fears we can’t bring ourselves to disclose Gradually eat into our hearts And by the time we realize, it’s too late
Through the long night we’ve endured Through the long, long, night we’ve endured Alone it was utterly impossible For me to possibly overcome it
I want to save everyone Though it may only be my pride I understand it all tonight– It’s always darkest before the dawn
[Matenrou] Until the night breaks—Oh ei oh Until the sun rises—Oh ei oh Even if you can’t see the way forward—Oh ei oh Know that the dawn will always arrive—Oh ei oh
Until the morning comes—Oh ei oh Until the light touches you—Oh ei oh Even if the night is pitch-dark—Oh ei oh Know you’re never alone within it—Oh ei oh

Rep Squad – Matenrou Ver.– 
[Matenrou] What’s the time? Rep Squad It’s time to get live! Rep Squad This city’s reps take center stage, watch us closely now We’ll take this burning venue and throw oil on the flames H. Y. P. N. O. S. I. S. MIC We’re ready go now Are U ready for “Rep”?
[Jakurai] A dark gaseous fog descends over disorderly night The unending wail of the sirens interweave illusions Within the flickering traffic lights comes the signal Absorbing all that loiter; Pushing aside the warmongers Walk against the flow of the crowd That is this city’s status quo Endless strife (struggles), repeating cycles of violence Even god could not visualize the violence of his dear lambs (rebellion) Yet I will embody the anti-war stance Now we stand at the vanguard, Shinjuku, representatives of a new fate
[Hifumi] In high spirits as the champagne pop pop pop pops Tonight I take the tres bon you and L-L-Lock on! (Welcome!) All the lonely hearts and all the trendy crowds, I’ll have you on my terms, this is Hifumi’s invite! Matenrou gives you the beat With me now – “Pop! Pop!” Bare your heart naked for me too One more time - “Pop pop pop!” Every weekend grows more endearing This party will have you hooked Doctor and Doppo-kun join the festivities in this Special night
[Doppo] Everything low carb, days repeating like a forced diet Steady progress? Hell if I know, Doppo-san’s begging on his hands and knees Ignoring compliance and laws; The hay fever gets worse as I get older; Soaked ‘cuz someone stole my umbrella– “Okay, fine then.” If you think I’m scared of a crowd, gonna piss myself Laughing at me blind then I’ll show you my technics Even I can make the light shine; Shinjuku kicks it to the curb Spitting verses; causing a chain reaction (Hey!) We’re jacking this place
[Matenrou] Rep squad! Boom! Boom! Radiating three unique kinds of cool, burning up! Rep squad! Boom! Boom! Matenrou, the strongest Squad
Are U ready for? What’s the time? This’s our triumphant return It’s time to get live! Let ‘em hear our Anthem
This city’s reps take center stage, watch us closely now We’ll take this burning venue and throw oil on the flames Keep outta our Division Ride the beat to freedom Rule the Stage’s high-octane Show We’re ready go!
Are U ready for “Rep”? Welcome to our hood Beating through you low Time to stir up trouble Are you ready for “Rep”? Get out of here outsiders With a swipe from this microphone Heads put your hands up
Rep squad! Boom! Boom! Our local live style shoots through you distinctive Rep squad! Boom! Boom! Stabbed through you at the turnabout comes the punchline
Radiating three unique kinds of cool, burning up and Ready to fire through the venue–Hypnosis Mic

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

STAND UP & FIGHT
(Note: This song contains spoilers for FP v MTC.)
[Jyuto & Rio]
Forwards, backwards, there’s nowhere to run
We’ve come upon the end of the line
Even if we hit hell hell, we’ll fight on without giving up
Stand up and fight, stand up and fight
[Rio] Can you fight on? [Jyuto] I can fight on
[Jyuto] Can you fight on? [Rio] I can fight on
[Rio] 
No matter the situation I will never waver
The battlefield is my life, the border of life and death isn’t for show
I’ll make you understand right from the start, Yokohama runs things like this
If you want a taste then come to the front, I’ll show you our techniques
[Jyuto]
The weaklings and the minor characters flock together but get no stronger
Your child’s play won’t work on us, ‘Hama’s rhyme thunders through you
If you want to have it out with me, be prepared before you face me
You’re so reckless it’s nearly a joke; don’t think this will go as you expect
[Jyuto & Rio]
Everyone who stands in our way gets sunk
Down to hell with no exceptions we sink you all
We won’t retreat even if we die, 
Won’t bend to anyone
This is how we operate; MAD TRIGGER CREW
[Ramuda]
It was supposed to be a fabrication
It was supposed to be a fake team
But they’re trying to protect my fake ‘life’
What is this feeling? Is this something real?
A fake like me… Finally has real…
Running away or standing to fight; Obeying or resisting
If I’m going to die no matter what then there’s only one choice!
Stand up and fight– You can keep fighting, right?
Stand up and fight– You can keep fighting, right?
I can’t back down here; I won’t let you take away my heart
I’ll stake my life on this and resist until the very end
Stand up and fight– You can keep fighting, right?
Stand up and fight– You can keep fighting, right?

The [...] Before the Storm (嵐の前の…)
[Jyuto]
A quiet early afternoon, nothing appears out of the ordinary
Those peaceful days have graced us once more
But glancing up at the sky
Gray clouds cast their shadow
This is… The calm before the storm
[Rio] 
Like an ominous premonition
Gray clouds cover the sky
From the early afternoon skyline
They steal away the light
As if it’s the prologue to an even greater incident
This is… The calm before the storm
[Dice]
This weather’s pretty bad, huh
Got all dark all’ve a sudden
I thought it was kinda strange
But I look up and everything’s gray
This gray sky makes my heart uneasy
This is… The calm before the storm
[Gentaro]
A quiet early afternoon, nothing appears out of the ordinary
Those peaceful days have graced us once more
But to we, who have learned a great secret
Chuuou will certainly not turn a blind eye
[Dice]
The calm before the storm
[Gentaro]
The moment before disaster
[Jyuto]
A status quo about to change
[Rio] 
A battlefield draws near
[Dice, Gentaro, Rio, & Jyuto]
A great danger draws close on tiptoe
Attempting to swallow us within it
[Dice]
Yeah, leapin’ straight into the fire
Yeah, come at me; You’re nothin’ but static
No matter who we’re fightin’ this’s for sure–
I’m not letting anybody up here!
[Jyuto]
While we might all be the same officers, our level is not
There’s no path that leads to your victory
Step down before you anger me
Nothing fabricated applies to me

My Home Our Home
[Doppo]
Packed like sardines onto the train
It’s the worst, but it’s my daily routine
Today another long day ends
Another long day finally ends
Ah, I just wanna hurry and go home
To the one place I can relax, my home
Ah, I just wanna hurry and go home
To the one place I can relax, my home
[Hifumi]
Taking off my jacket and putting my all into the chores
This’s my routine on the days I’m off work
What time’s he gonna get off today?
Is it gonna be around when dinner’s done? 
Dinner’s way better together than alone
This’s the place we can rest our hearts
Dinner’s way better together than alone
We can rest our hearts in our wonderful home
[Doppo]
Going to my home
The one place I can relax, my home
[Hifumi]
Our wonderful home
Our wonderful home
[Doppo]
A connection we’ve had since we were kids
[Hifumi]
A constant give-and-take, an odd relationship
[Doppo]
If I was alone, the things I couldn’t endure
[Hifumi]
Become easy as pie with two of us
Doppo: I’m home.
Hifumi: Welcome home!
[Doppo & Hifumi]
There’s times we get gloomy
And things we get annoyed over sometimes
But here we remember we’re not alone
In this place that soothes us best in the world–
[Doppo] My home 
[Hifumi] Our home
[Doppo]
Going to my home
[Hifumi]
Our wonderful home
[Doppo]
Going to my home
[Hifumi]
Our wonderful home

Assault (強襲)
(Note: This song contains spoilers for FP v MTC.)
Ramuda: I can’t. I can’t take another verse. Somebody… Save me! I don’t want to die!!
Ramuda clone: Okay now! Bye-bye! 
Dice: Stop right there!!
Gentaro: We won’t permit you to harm him any further!
Ramuda: Dice! Gentaro! Why?
Gentaro: Do we need a reason to come to our friend’s aid when he’s hurt?
Dice: That’s right. We’re true friends!
[Gentaro]
I will not permit you to so much
As lay another finger upon my friend
[Dice]
Fishy guys like you get tossed aside
We’ll lay into you, whoever you are
[Gentaro]
In but a moment
[Dice]
The backup’s here
[Gentaro]
The damage you’ve inflicted
[Dice]
Gets returned to you double
[Gentaro]
But momentary friends sharing the same resolve
[Dice]
Fling Posse stands here
[Gentaro & Dice]
Unparalleled

Gourmet Hunter Rio’s Wonderful Dinner/美食ハンター理鶯のワンダフルディナー
(Note: This is the FP v MTC version of the song, NOT the Rep Live Side MTC version. Both versions share the same name.)
[Rio] 
Now it’s time to fill your stomach
I’ll treat you to the greatest dinner time
Take a step into a treasure trove of ingredients
All around us is top-class prey, crying after my shot
[Dice]
Like an illusion, a mirage, 
He appeared before the starving me
Gourmet Hunter, you’re a god
And I’ll take you up on that meal!
[Rio] 
Hold your breath, this’s shangri-la (Dice: Wow)
Don’t let the prey hear your footsteps 
Or it’ll escape (Dice: Sorry!)
Frogs, snakes, bats, and centipedes
[Dice]
Sounds great!! Feasting out in the forest
[Rio] 
Aim for the vitals
No hesitation
The prey we’ve locked on to takes its last breath
[Dice]
Bad luck for you if your cross our path
[Rio]
I’ll treat you to a top-class dinner
[Dice]
Let’s go!
[Rio & Dice]
Bringing in the cooking
Knife and fork set on the table
The food that’ll fill you up is 
Ready, set; Enjoy this dope shit
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
These gourmet aesthetics will give you a shock
[Rio] 
The hors d’oeuvres are top-class viper sashimi (Dice: Delicious!!)
The key point is to slice it thinly
Next course is caterpillar salad
And from there we have cricket soup (Dice: Hell yeah!)
The main dish is sauteed frog 
With a side of roasted bat (Dice: I’m so glad I’m alive!!)
[Rio & Dice]
Full of nutrients, a top class meal
It’s so tasty you might stuff your face
Bringing in the cooking
Knife and fork set on the table
The food that’ll fill you up is 
Ready, set; Enjoy this dope shit
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
Bizarre Dinner, Bi, Bi, Bizarre Dinner
These gourmet aesthetics will give you a shock

Ramuda vs Samatoki
(Note: This song contains spoilers for FP v MTC.)
Samatoki: I’m gonna kill you here and now!
Ramuda: I knew you’d try that. Well, guess that’s that. Okay, I’m all ready! 
Samatoki: I’ll wipe that smile off your face!!
[Samatoki]
I dunno what the hell you’re tryna do
Hell, this ain’t even a conversation
You get me mad and your future’s dark
Your life’s over with the flick of a switch
Burning white-hot, that’s my fire
The loser’s gonna end this covered in red
I’ll beat you down until there’s nothing left
I’m carving out your headstone now
Ramuda: It’s been a while since anyone’s hit me this hard! Guess that makes sense. You cared about your sister more than your own life, and she disappeared because of me!
Samatoki: You bastard! 
Ramuda: Samatoki’s so scary! Now it’s my turn!
[Ramuda]
Get so fired up and you lose your cool
Come visit the graveyard every anniversary
Red, blue, green, and ‘course yellow too
These’re the new primary colors
Your head’s full of nothing but fighting
In the ring you’re nothing but a cornered hunter
I’m going to give you the flashy finishing blow
You’re a total dummy, so let’s break this off now 
Samatoki: Ugh…!
Ramuda: You should’ve just let yourself get knocked out. 
Samatoki: What’s wrong with you?
Ramuda: Nothing! 
Samatoki: I’m not goin’ easy. 
[Ramuda]
This’s bad... I can’t fight well.
My body doesn’t move like I want it to
Going against him like this
Has me at too big of a disadvantage
But what should I do…?
He’s not just going to let me go.
Forwards, backwards, there’s no place to run
I have to think hard, what do I do?
[Samatoki]
What the hell is he hiding?
Why’d he make me angry on purpose?
His actions don’t make any sense. 
But I don’t think he’d act without reason.
Why’d he pick a fight with me?
Why won’t he use that True Hypnosis Mic?
I don’t see the answer.
Why wouldn’t he use a weapon that strong?
If we’re gonna fight then it’s gonna be fair?
You’re not the kinda guy who’d say that!
What’re you doing and why’re you doing it?
Tell me what you really feel
Nothing you do’s making any sense
You’re really gonna drive me crazy
What’re you doing and why’re you doing it?
Show me what you really feel
Samatoki: You… Tell me everything you know. ...He’s gone. He use his ability?

His True Self (本当の姿)
[Gentaro]
A line of dazzling dolls 
All dressed up for their departure
If something was to be born of their emptiness
Where might they head out in search of?
Ramuda. When we first met 
It was curiosity that drove me to know you
What were your truths, what were your lies?
What interested me was your true nature
Gentaro: However… Now, as your friend… I wish to understand you.
Ramuda, where is the truth of you hiding?
Where is your true self hiding?
If it’s true that you are suffering, 
Then we will come support you.
Even if we can’t see your heart–
Even if there are lies within it–
The bonds we share in the present
Hold not a trace of fabrication
Ramuda, where is your true heart hiding?
Where are your true intentions hiding?
If it’s true that you are suffering, 
Then we will come support you.
Even if we can’t see the true you now–
Even if falsehoods remain within your words–
The bonds we share in the present
Hold not a trace of fabrication

His Sister’s Place (妹の居場所)
[Samatoki]
Inside the darkness, I always wandered
Believing that you were at the end of the road
That even if I couldn’t see the light
I’d reach you one day without fail
Nemu,
After you disappeared…
Nemu,
I finally found you.
Nemu, 
But this nightmare…
Still isn’t over…?
Why are you on their side? 
Why won’t you come back?
Why’d this happen? 
Why, tell me why!
Why are you there? 
Why won’t you return to me?
Why’d it turn out like this? 
Why, tell me why!
Tell me.
You’ve gotta tell me!
Tell me. 
Hey Nemu! Tell me, 
Tell me.
You’ve gotta tell me!
Was your home really not here with me?

Interrogation Room Training Session (調教取調室)
[Jyuto]
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Lift your head and look at me now
Listen up; Ah, you’ve done very well
Here, of course, I make the rules
No objections, entrust your fate to me
If you obey me, you have nothing to fear
If you cooperate, perhaps I’ll unchain you
Rather than picking more meaningless fights
Let’s be a bit more well-behaved, no?
Expose everything you’ve concealed to me
Shed everything you’ve not yet revealed to me
As if swearing loyalty to your beloved master
Come to me wagging your tails like a dog
The strays come to me one by one
No need to show mercy, I go for overkill
Yapping on and on; you need more training
Those ill-behaved will be thrown in chains
If you want a treat, roll over and show me everything
Swear your absolute obedience to me now
I’m in the position to give you your punishment
Next time cry for me a bit sweeter
Look at me now
Resist and you’re under arrest
Look at me now
This is your invitation to prison
Look at me now
Let’s begin this showtime
Look at me now (yeah)
Look at me now (ah)
Look at me now
Training you thoroughly
Look at me now
I’ll make you understand your situation
Look at me now
Driving your instincts wild
Look at me now (yeah)
Look at me now (ah)

Shibuya Jump Around
[Ramuda]
Hey, everybody good?
Ramuda-chan’s on the scene!
C’mon, for real, how’re you?
I’m gonna raise the mood
I’m here; sorry for the wait
My favorite things all mixed together
Everyone’s happy, super smiley
Leave it all to us
[Dice]
All or nothing, even or odd
Sink or swim, what’ll it be?
Don’t tread on thin ice?
Why would I ever back down from that?
I’m a gambler, 
I always wanna live life on the edge
The money’s you’ve got’s not as important as how you use it
[Gentaro]
That’s the end? You must joke
I won’t allow it, slow down
Let me introduce the next chapter, a hundred flowers blooming in profusion
Within the mundanity of the world and those who follow it blindly
Join Fling Posse, and with us–ride on
[Fling Posse]

Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah 
[Ramuda]
It’s fun so you laugh? You laugh so it’s fun?
Never mind the majority, let’s go play right away!
Right now I don’t have even one single plan
But as long as I’m with these friends, it’ll totes be alright!
[Dice]
You gotta live in the moment, not worry about the future
Right now we’ve gotta enjoy the present more than anybody else
Nails that stick out get hammered down–Ha? Don’t make me laugh
C’mon and bring it on, I need morea this thrill right now
[Gentaro]
With but a single stroke, we display something amazing
A firmly fixed image, overcome splendidly
The occasional tune sung without self-consciousness is our amusement
For the three of us are together today
[Fling Posse]
Shibuya jump around (fu)
Yeah jump around (fu)
Everybody goes, now let’s go real bold
Shibuya jump around (fu)

Bright & Dark (End Ver.)
[Hitoya]
Let’s go all out, outsiders sit and watch?
That’s not enough; we’ll overcome you Tokyo
We’re settling this now with my judgment
Shinjuku you have no way to win
[Doppo]
Sorry for making you come all this way
But I can’t take even a single step back
This’s the endurance I built off of overtime
I’ll carve this rhyme into your rock-hard head
[Jyushi]
To a powerful opponent we show no mercy
Believing you could overcome us is a grave mistake
The impenetrable depths of the darkness becomes my power 
I declare that I will never retreat
[Hifumi]
Within a darkness so deep the light can’t reach
We once hid ourselves, believing we were helpless
It’s because that time’s behind us that we can be here now
The power to become strong wells within us now
[Kuko]
So then c’mon and show me that power
‘Cuz I’ll give you the strongest rhymes from this moutha mine
You’re real funny guys, look how hard I’m laughin’ at ya
Determined Nagoya, feast your eyes on us
[Jakurai]
Today let us talk to our heart’s content
There is no one who could possibly replace me
The reason we’ve concealed for choosing to fight
Matenrou–let us show you our resolve

Bright & Dark
[All]
Bright, Dark
Let the end begin; the light shines, guiding our way on
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
[Jakurai]
It reverberates in my ears still; 
Afterimages burning within the dying candle
Reckless with resentment; showing terminal symptoms
Yet within the ash searching for a diamond
The more brilliant the light, the deeper the shadow
Tracing the past for answers is a reductio ad absurdum
I cannot overlook how your mistakes have carried you away;
As your friend I will defeat you now 
[Hitoya]
Those who’d mistake the right from the wrong
And those who only listen to the side of the “just”
Idiots like that’ve gotten left behind
I’m not the worthless me driven by winning anymore
I’ve overcome my past, known true pain
To protect my bonds I’ll argue you down
This is an elegy to me as I am
And I’m defeating you here and now
[Jakurai & Hitoya]
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
Lay bare your dark-bright duality
[Hifumi]
In the wavering neon the city bustles
That bewitching light is my battleground
Your light’s nothing but an imitation
No matter how bright you shine there’s no point
[Doppo] 
Can some defense attorney really see how dark my world is?
Can some monk and some edgy kid treat a customer right?
When you’re handing down the tasks like there’s no tomorrow
Can you look at me with all my pride and still sneer like that?
[Hifumi]
We’ve overcome countless battlefields with our variety
No one can rival us when it comes to drinking
[Doppo] 
I’ve been trampled more times than I can count
But don’t think that means all I can do is complain
[Hifumi]
With Doppo-kun atop this verse we strengthen our bonds
[Doppo] 
Hurry up and apologize, damnit! Nagoya, you’re nothing
[Hifumi & Doppo]
Shaking you down with a perfect scrum
Impenetrable and invincible; Shinjuku Matenrou
[Hifumi] Bright & [Doppo] Dark, [Hifumi] Bright & [Doppo] Dark
[Hifumi] Light [Doppo] and Shadow [Hifumi & Doppo] inseparable
[Kuko]
With a sermon that crushes evil
I’ll strike the cowards down, I’m awakening
You unknowns don’t got the courage to be notorious
Idiots get outta here!
[Jyushi]
The excess that’s seeped into your heart
Exposes your crafty ways, Shinjuku
Ideologies and ideals alone you must not lose
I live on questioning what it means to be myself
[Kuko]
Nothin’ gets started if all you do is run
If you’re scareda conflict
You’ll never open your heart
[Jyushi]
Enduring our pain we take the front lines
In this battle our pure bonds become the light
[Kuko]
We carry our joy and suffering as three
[Jyushi]
We cannot retreat until we emerge the true victor
[Kuko]
All or nothing
[Jyushi]
Proclaim our determination
[Kuko & Jyushi]
Nagoya Bad Ass Temple, never slipping up
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
We’re settling the right from the wrong
[All]
Within this city of intermingled light and shadow I’m alive
Cross the border and cry out with a ceaseless howling
We carve away our lives with strokes of word
Battle Tribe
Can you steal it away exquisitely? 
Will you crumble to dust unseemly?
Light & Shadow, Bright & Dark, yeah
Neither yin nor yang can concede
Sound on my Hypnosis Mic
Light & Shadow, Bright & Dark, yeah
We wage war with our resentment
Rhyming without fear of divine retribution
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
Bright, Dark
[Hifumi]
A vulgar, flashing party? (No)
Let’s calm down with a bit of herb tea (Yeah)
If you’d frighten the princesses and hurt my friends
I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you impolite guests to leave
[Jyushi]
Haunting the nightlife streets like opportunists
If that’s what hosts think is proper then I just can’t accept it!
I don’t wanna see adults’ cheap tricks
That transient dream–I will bring it all to naught
[Doppo]
You produce nothing; all you speak is dreams (delusions)
You’re just a kid with no digestive issues
Don’t pretend you’re depressed, knock it off with those boots (They’re weird)
I’ll go ahead and buy you a job-hunting suit
[Hitoya]
Oi, I don’t wanna hold justice over your head
But why don’t we fix that pessimism of yours?
Lashing out like that ain’t gonna fix anything
Before you go wild, assess and stop yourself
[Jakurai]
Ah, I feel a sense of beauty about this battle
I perceive that we must open a dialogue
I will have you understand that warring in vain is worthless
Even you, who stand before me as enemies, I will one day save
[Kuko]
Save? That’s just proof you’re arrogant
Overconfidence, grief–if that’s fate, it’s ugly
Everyone chooses their own path, no leader needed
Seek the way forward on your own two feet
[Jakurai]
I see; the way you find fault with me is crude, 
But I suppose it’s better than remaining apathetic
So then you, a monk who shows others the way
Will have to learn to see the road as I do!
[Kuko]
You’re a real interesting guy, Jakurai
Sure, I’ll take you up on that and serve you consequences
With some eternal, endless abuse
You’re the guy who’s gotta reform here, insolent fool!
[All]
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
[Matenrou]
Let’s push each other higher, we friends declare
[All]
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
[Bad Ass Temple]
Let the strength of our bonds last millennia
[Matenrou]
We who weather our fates together, Shinjuku Matenrou
[Bad Ass Temple]
We who risk our lives together, Nagoya Bad Ass Temple
[All]
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
Let the end begin; the light shines, guiding our way on
The cycle of karma repeats
As we create a new world
Imposing our wrath with this rhyme and flow
Yin and yang; poetic justice
Within this city of intermingled light and shadow I’m alive
Cross the border and cry out with a ceaseless howling
We carve away our lives with strokes of word
Battle Tribe
Can you steal it away exquisitely? 
Will you crumble to dust unseemly?
Light & Shadow, Bright & Dark, yeah
Neither yin nor yang can concede 
Sound on my Hypnosis Mic
Light & Shadow, Bright & Dark, yeah
We wage war with our resentment
Rhyming without fear of divine retribution
Until our voice gives out on us
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
[Matenrou]
We who weather our fates together, Shinjuku Matenrou
[Bad Ass Temple]
We who risk our lives together, Nagoya Bad Ass Temple
[All]
Bright & Dark, Bright & Dark
Let the end begin; the light shines, guiding our way on
Bright, Dark

A Former Friend (Slow Version) (かつての友 (スローバージョン))
[Hitoya]
He was always at my side. 
We were like-minded guys, walking the same road.
[Jakurai] 
He was always at my side. 
We walked the same road, seeking the same light.
[Hitoya] 
He was always one step ahead of me. 
[Jakurai]
He always spoke to me as an equal. 
Hitoya: The world changed, and so did he. No. I changed, too. 
Jakurai: The darkness of the world ate into my heart. I’m no longer the man I used to be.
Hitoya: I thought of you as my best friend. Guess it wasn’t mutual.
[Hitoya & Jakurai]
My former friend, who was always at my side. 
My former friend, who walked alongside me. 
This distorted friendship will never regain its course, will it.
