一人一夜 (Ichinin Hitoyo)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
ひふみと宵々逃げるが勝ちよ 	hifumi to yoiyoi nigeru ga kachi yo 	1-2-3, every night, if you can run away you win
いつむと宵々惑えば最後 	itsumu to yoiyoi madoeba saigo 	5-6, every night, if you hesitate, that’s it
ななやと宵々もういいかい 	nanaya to yoiyoi mou iikai 	7-8, every night, ready or not?In the Japanese form of hide-and-seek, rather than just announcing “Ready or not, here I come,” the person who’s “it” asks whether the other players are ready (“Mou ii kai?”). If they’re not, they say “mada da yo” (not yet), and if they are they say “mou ii yo” (I’m ready). References to this show up throughout the song.
 	 	
未だよ（何処へ）未だよ（何処へ） 	mada yo (doko e) mada yo (doko e) 	Not yet (Where?) Not yet (Where?)
ゆびきりしましょう 	yubikiri shimashou 	Let’s make a pinky-promise
 	 	
ひふみと酔々水面に浮かぶ 	hifumi to yoiyoi minamo ni ukabu 	1-2-3, drunkenly floating on the water
いつむと酔々アノコが居らぬ 	itsumu to yoiyoi ano ko ga oranu 	5-6, drunkenly, that girl isn’t there
ななやと酔々かくれんぼ 	nanaya to yoiyoi kakurenbo 	7-8, drunkenly playing hide-and-seek
 	 	
未だよ（何処へ）未だよ（何処へ） 	mada yo (doko e) mada yo (doko e) 	Not yet (Where?) Not yet (Where?)
てのなるほうへ 	te no naru hou e 	Toward the sound of clapping hands“Te no naru hou e” is part of a chant that accompanies the game “Mekakushi-Oni” (“blindfolded oni”), a tag variant where the person who’s “it,” or “oni,” is blindfolded and has to find the other players based on hearing. Like the similar Anglophone game blind man’s buff, the game is played less in modern times, perhaps because of the potential for accidents when blindfolded children are running around. However, the chant still enjoys a full life of being referenced in pop culture in order to be spooky–sort of like the tendency of English-language horror to take nursery rhymes and make them sound ominous, but with somewhat more justification since an oni (a type of monster in Japanese folklore) is already involved.
 	 	
もういいよ 	mou ii yo 	I’m ready!
 	 	
惑いて潜る現人よ　汝何を恐れるか 	madoite moguru utsusomi yo nanji nani o osoreru ka 	Oh, mortal who hides and hesitates, what are you afraid of?

何処へ（此処に）何処へ（此処に） 	doko e (koko ni) doko e (koko ni) 	Where? (Here) Where? (Here)
ゆびきりしましょう 	yubikiri shimashou 	Let’s make a pinky-promise
