Conty asks:

"Ai - oboete-imasu ka" from Macross II.

Hitoshi Doi answers:
> In recent memory, probably "Odoru Ponpokorin" BB Queens [Chibi Maruko].

A simple, fun little song that they say was the rage at karaoke bars a
couple years ago.  Here are the lyrics in romaji with an English
translation, followed by the lyrics in Japanese Industrial Standard
codes.  The ESC characters in the JIS codes are replaced with "^[" for
posting.  I've surrounded words sung by both Maruko and the male
background vocal with asterisks.

These and many other anime song lyrics and translations are available
for anonymous ftp from romulus.rutgers.edu (128.6.13.2), in the
pub/anime/lyrix subdirectory.

I'm translating these songs to learn Japanese, so if you notice any
mistakes, please correct me.
