数字のどこかに 隠れている虫 	suuji no dokoka ni kakurete iru mushi 	Somewhere, hiding in these numbers, there's a bug
ぶんぶん飛んでる そいつの名前は？ 	bunbun tonderu soitsu no namae wa? 	that’s flying buzzily around - what’s its name?The answer to this riddle is "bee". The word "hachi", depending on how it's written, can mean "bee" (ハチ, 蜂) or "eight" (八) - thus, it is the "bug" hiding in the "numbers".

お空で光るよ これはなあに？ 	osora de hikaru yo kore wa naani? 	It shines in the sky. Whaat is it?The answer is "the moon", or 月 (tsuki). It shines in the sky, and changes its shape as it waxes and wanes.

12の生き物 いちばん最初で 	juuni no ikimono ichiban saisho de 	There are 12 creatures. That first one,
猫から逃げてる 動物何かな？ 	neko kara nigeteru doubutsu nani ka na? 	that’s escaping from the cat - what animal is it?This riddle refers to the legend of the animals of the zodiac. The cat, not a member of the zodiac due to betrayal by the rat, has never liked the rat since - and thus, the "creature" - zodiac animal - fleeing from the cat is the rat - or ネズミ (nezumi).
ひとまず練習 これなら楽勝 	hitomazu renshuu kore nara rakushou 	Practice with those for now. These ones are super simple.
ちょっぴりサービスしすぎてるかも 	choppiri saabisu shi sugiteru kamo 	Maybe they’re even a little too easy!

【Q】 	[Q] 	[Q]
トマトはトマトで 子猫は子猫で 	tomato wa tomato de koneko wa koneko de 	A tomato is a tomato, and a kitten is a kitten.
イルカは軽いよ クルミはどうなる？ 	iruka wa karui yo kurumi wa dou naru? 	A dolphin is nimble. What does that make a walnut?This riddle wants you to read the words backwards based on the Japanese kana. "Tomato" (トマト - the romaji is literally just "tomato") and "kitten" (子猫, or "koneko") are both palindromes in Japanese - "to-ma-to" and "ko-ne-ko" - so when read forwards and backwards, a tomato is a tomato and a kitten is a kitten. A "dolphin" (イルカ, or "iruka") backwards is "nimble" (軽い, or "karui") because "i-ru-ka" backwards is "ka-ru-i". So when it asks about a walnut (クルミ, or "kurumi"), the answer it's looking for is "milk" (ミルク, or "miruku").
【Q】 	[Q] 	[Q]
白・白・黒・黒 白色足したら 	shiro shiro kuro kuro hakushoku tashitara 	White - white - black - black. When you add white to each of the above,
なくなっちゃうのは どっちの色？ 	nakunacchau no wa docchi no iro? 	which color disappears?If you add white to white, it's still white. If you add white to black, it's not black anymore. So 黒 - "kuro", or "black" - is the answer.
 	 	
今度は2問で 済ませてあげるよ 	kondo wa nimon de sumasete ageru yo 	This time, we’re wrapping it up with just two questions!
少しはやり甲斐 出てきた頃かな 	sukoshi wa yarigai dete kita koro ka na 	It’s about time we made it a little more worth your while.
 	 	
なかなか優秀 今後も快勝 	nakanaka yuushuu kongo mo kaishou 	You’re doing absolutely wonderfully! From here, it’s an easy win!
期待をしたって構わないよね 	kitai o shitatte kamawanai yo ne 	Whatever you were expecting, don’t worry about it!

暗がりの森 引っかけの道 	kuragari no mori hikkake no michi 	The dark forests, the trick paths -

【Q】 	[Q] 	[Q]
ラクダの頭と クジラのお腹と 	rakuda no atama to kujira no onaka to 	If a camel’s head, a whale’s stomach,
カツオの尾びれを 合体させたら？ 	katsuo no obire o gattai sasetara? 	and a skipjack tuna’s tail fin are combined, what do you get?"Camel", "whale", and "skipjack tuna" are ラクダ (rakuda), クジラ (kujira), and カツオ (katsuo), respectively. The "head" of the camel is the first kana in ラクダ, the "stomach" of the whale is the second character in クジラ, and the "tail fin" of the skipjack tuna is the third and final character of カツオ. So if you put them all together, you get ラジオ (rajio) - better known in English as "radio".
【Q】 	[Q] 	[Q]
豚・玉・窓・歌 間抜けなタヌキが 	buta tama mado uta manukena tanuki ga 	A pig - a ball - a window - a song. To a foolish tanuki,
美味しく食べてる ものはなあに？ 	oishiku tabeteru mono wa naani? 	whaat would be the most delicious?The phrase "foolish tanuki" is actually a pun here. "Foolish" is 間抜け (manuke), which sounds like ま・抜け (ma nuke), or "remove 'ma'". "Tanuki" is タヌキ, which sounds like た・抜き (ta nuki), or "remove 'ta'". So if you remove the "ma" and "ta" from the four words given - a pig (豚, or "buta"), a ball (玉, or "tama"), a window (窓, or "mado"), and a song (歌, or "uta"), the only sounds left are ぶ・ど・う (bu-do-u). So the favorite food of the foolish tanuki is ブドウ (budou) - which means "grapes".
【Q】 	[Q] 	[Q]
最後の問題！ これまで答えた 	saigo no mondai! kore made kotaeta 	Final question! If you connect the first letters
最初の1文字 繋げた言葉は？ 	saisho no ichimoji tsunageta kotoba wa? 	of all your answers up to now, what word does it spell?
きちんと言えたら 扉は開くよ 	kichinto ietara tobira wa hiraku yo 	If you spoke correctly, the gate will open.
見事な正解 ボクに聞かせて？ 	migoto na seikai boku ni kikasete? 	Were you able to listen, and get all the right answers?Our answers, in order, are "bee" (hachi), "moon" (tsuki), "rat" (nezumi), "milk" (miruku), "black" (kuro), "radio" (rajio), and "grapes" (budou). If you take the first kana of all these words in Japanese, and put them side-by-side, you get は・つ・ね・み・く・ら・ぶ (ha-tsu-ne-mi-ku-ra-bu) - or "Hatsune Miku Love".
Of course, in English translation, it'd be "bmrmbrg", so it's safe to say anyone reading it in translation would not be able to go through the gate. But don't worry - I wouldn't have been able to figure it out, either!
