---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Once upon a time, there were two friends in Shibuya

This is the tale of Dice and Gentaro

That night in Shibuya, the local people gathered

for a festival being held.

"Stall-keeper Dice"

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Welcome, welcome. Once another welcome

Come look at these strange things

It's free to just come have a look. Hey, patron over there,

Your passing by must surely be a joke. It's enough to make me laugh

Here you can find my wares from the West,

like this rare deck of cards, have a look.

Their usual price is 1000yen. But today's been great.

They're half off, 500 yen!

You must be thinking, 'that's a great price' huh?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Half price? How generous a deal you make.

No matter how you look at it, these cards are worth buying

Poker or Blackjack, Oicho-kabu or Baccarat

If they can be played, then this is a treasure

That's why this encounter is one in a thousand.

The scenery fades in my delight.

As I've spotted the thing I've searched for

Stuck right there, is a price tag of 100 yen

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Eh? Huh? I should've peeled it off properly... HUH?

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Ahahaha. That was but a lie. It's identical to the one sold at the 100-yen

store saw it down there. I was just leading you on

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

(Dammit!)

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

"Let's go fishing, Gentaro!"

YO! Gentaro! Let's try our hands at that game

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

YO YO Dice! Does it even matter if we lose?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Yo! Just like that! I like how you're up for

anything You're gonna show me what you're made of, right?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

You mean to bet something, yes? I'll take you

on, so what are we playing?

YO! YO! YO! YO!

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

You're doing this on purpose, huh!? Fishing yo-yo, yo!

You've got one of these, so until the paper breaks,

the one who's caught the most'll be the winner. Nice and simple, huh?

The loser'll have to do one thing the winner says! Deal?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Sounds simple enough, let's go

---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---

YO YO YO YO YO YO YO....

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

So how long are we going to do this?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Haha! This isn't getting anywhere!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Yo yo it's about to get dark soon

We can call it a draw, how does that sound?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Can't be helped then. Next time, let's bet on the shooting stall instead!

Oh, they have goldfish scooping too!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

I shall decline.

---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---

"The end of the festival".

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

As the festival draws to its close, why do I feel somewhat lonely?

Should the outcome be the same if we were to take it from the beginning?

If I were to meet you in a dream, would my feelings be unresolved still?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

What ya talking about? This another lie? Gentaro,

Was there something strange in the ramune you drank earlier?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

I wish it were a lie.

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Oh so it's true!

The cherry blossoms are great because they scatter, you know?

In gambling, you can win or lose - aren't both fun?

So if this festival lasted forever,

we couldn't really call it a festival, huh?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Thank you. Dice. Those words are priceless to me.

They've struck me in the heart.

Only this time, will the borders between the truth and lie blur

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

What d'ya mean?

Was it all just a lie?! Oi!

OH- Fireworks!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Ah, what a beautiful ending, huh?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

It's the best, let's come again next year!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

I'll pass

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

What, why?

Wasn't it fun?

We can play again then!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

I've had my fill

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Don't say that! Let's come back again, Gentaro!

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Please give me a break.

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Eeeeh?

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Well, that's a lie.

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Huh? What'd ya say?

I didn’t hear that just now. Hey, wait.

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

Tamaya~

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

Whaddya mean? What? Hey, wait!

Once upon a time, there were two friends in Shibuya

これは帝統と幻太郎の物語

その夜シブヤでは、地元の人々が集まる

祭りが催されていたそうです

的屋の帝統

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

らっしゃいらっしゃいもうひとつらっしゃい

寄ってらっしゃい見てらっしゃい

見るだけならタダなんだ ほらそと行く旦那

素通りだなんて御冗談 笑っちゃうわ

ここにありますは西洋から

舶来のトランプなる品物手にとってご覧あれ

普段ならば１０００のところ今日はもっと頑張れ！と

半値の５００だ！いってくれ「半端ねえ！」と

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

半値とは半端ない それは太っ腹

どっからどう見ても買うが得の品かな

ポーカーにブラックジャック　おいちょかぶにバカラ

それだけ遊べればこいつはお宝

だからこそこの出会いは千載一遇

望外の喜びに景観にじむ

非の付け所はないはずですが

付いたっまですよ　１００円の値札

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

え？あれ？ちゃんと剥がしたはず。。。あれ？

あーーーーーーーーーー！

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

ふふふ。うそですよ。そこの１００円ショップで同じものを

見かけたものですから。かまをかけてみました

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

（ちくしょう！）

<ヨーヨー釣りやろうぜ応太郎! >

YO! 勾太郎 ひとつ勝負しようじゃないか！

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

YO! YO! 帝統 わっちは一向に構わないが ？

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

YO! そうこなくっちゃ！ 好きだぜそのノリ

ついでに見せてくれんだろうな？　男気

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

YO! YO! 何か賭けようってことでしょう？

乗ってあげましょう　 して、何で勝負しよう?

YO!　YO!　YO!　YO!

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

解ってやってんだろ！？

ヨーヨー釣りだ YO!

こよりは 1 本 こいつが切れるまで

多く釣ったもん勝ち　 シンプルでいいっしょ？

負けたら言うこと1つなんでも聞く！

それでどう？

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

問題ないですよ　始めましょう

---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---

YO YO YO YO YO YO YO。。。

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

いつまでやりますか?

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

笑埒が明かねえなぁ !

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

やうやう日も暮れてしまいますね。

引き分けということにしておきましょう

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

しょうがねぇなぁ。じゃあ次は射的で勝負しようぜ！

あ、金魚すくいでもいいぜ !

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

断りします

---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---

<祭りの終わり>

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

宴もたけなわとなると少し寂しくなるのはなぜかな ?

もう一度初めから なんてダメかな

夢の中でも逢えたら 想いは叶わぬが定めかな

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

何言ってやがんでい！いつもの噓だろう？幻太郎

それかさっき飲んだラムネに入ってたか？変なもん

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

噓なら良かったのですがね

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

もう本当だったのかい！そりゃすまねえ！

でもな　桜は散るから良いんだろう ?

博打は勝ったり負けたりするから楽しいんだろう？

祭りが永遠と続いたら

それは祭りと呼べなくなっちゃうんじゃないかい？

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

ありがとう帝統 その言葉プライスレスです

切々と心に汐みました

今回ばかりは虚実の境も曖昧にしておきましよう

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

え? どう言う意味だよ?

やっぱり嘘だったってこと? おい!

あ! 花火

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

おお、これは綺麗ですね

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

最高じゃん ! また来年も来ような！

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

遠慮しておきます

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

なんでだよ ! ,楽しかったろ？また勝負しようぜ！

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

こりごりですよ

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

そんなこと言うなよ！また来ようぜ幻太郎！

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

勘弁してください

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

えぇええ

嘘ですけど

え？なんだって？

今聞こえなかったけど。ちょ、ちょっと。

---(Gentaro Yumeno)---

たーまや

---(Dice Arisugawa)---

どういう意味？それ？えっ、ちょっと！
