Here’s my version of YabuHika’s Go Fighter unit song. I love the dark, grungy lyrics and the overall “f💛💚k you” vibe.
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
Always get back up Fighter
Sound the attack Soldier
Well then, let’s begin
I have a weak Boss right down in my heart
A freshly shaved head, naked like a slave
That’s why I’ll be told to “Dance!” again
A Birthday blown off with self-loathing determination
I’ll put together the parts with no Data A tiny peace sign
It’s fine to express things in messy words It’s fine to be ugly
I’m clearly on the verge of spitting it all out “This isn’t a joke”
Even if someone is laughing on the inside
Even if you’re drowned out by boring voices
Even if you’re left naked and thrown aside
It’s fine to mess around and scream ‘til your throat is crushed
Because everyone around you is so… *BEEP*
Everybody Go Fighter Fight now
Go Soldier Charge in
The static hum echoed
You were stabbed in the back
Go Fighter Because you can pick yourself back up again
Always Dive Feel the cold Knife
Feel the pleasure in your chest You’re Bound to this one bold chance
The goal needs no explanation Aim for the checkmate
With shaking body and shaking hands even the warriors will be set trembling
You’ll bewilder them at once, confuse them, are you weak or are you strong?
They’ll be put off balance Their Trump exposed
Back up Put the Tempo up to Update
Saying “because” you’ll be a complete idiot right from the start
You make a face that seems happy too
You seem to be proud of yourself in some way too
Kick out the darkness in the bottom of your heart
“Tap, Rap, Back, coz anything goes”
Not yet not yet not yet not yet Oh *BEEP*
It’s different to that Even if you know it in your heart
Even if reason and reality are far away
The ideals they expressed were wafer thin
Not a single thing resonated with you
Go Fighter Never let go
Go to the next stage
Let’s move forward with us.
Let’s move forward with us.
All you have to do is follow me.
Take the challenge head on! *BEEP*
Everybody Go Fighter Fight now
Go Soldier Charge in
The static hum echoed
You were stabbed in the back
Laugh it off
It’s different to that Even if you know it in your heart
Even if reason and reality are far away
The ideals they expressed were wafer thin
Not a single thing resonated with you
Go Fighter Never let go
Keep your spirits up Fighter
