袋に詰められたナッツのような世間では

誰もがそれぞれ出会った誰かと寄り添い合ってる

そこに紛れ込んだ僕らはピーナッツみたいに

木の実のフリしながら　微笑み浮かべる

幸せのテンプレートの上　文字通り絵に描いたうわべの裏

テーブルを囲み手を合わすその時さえ　ありのままでは居られないまま

隠し事だらけ　継ぎ接ぎだらけのHome, you know?

噛み砕いても無くならない　本音が歯に挟まったまま

不安だらけ　成り行き任せのLife, and I know

仮初めまみれの日常だけど　ここに僕が居て　あなたが居る

この真実だけでもう　胃がもたれてゆく

Fukuro ni tsumerareta nattsu no you na seken de wa

Daremo ga sorezore deatta dareka to yorisoiatteru

Soko ni magirekonda bokura wa piinattsu mitai ni

Kinomi no furi shi nagara hohoemi ukaberu

Shiawase no tenpureeto no ue moji doori e ni egaita uwabe no ura

Teeburu wo kakomi te wo awasu sono toki sae ari no mama de wa i rarenai mama

Kakushigoto darake tsugihagi darake no Home, you know?

Kamikudaitemo nakunaranai honne ga wa ni hasamatta mama

Fuan darake nariyuki makase no Life, and I know

Karisome mamire no nichijou dakedo koko ni boku ga ite anata ga iru

Kono shinjitsu dake de mou i ga motarete yuku

In this world like nuts packed in a bag,

Everyone is snuggling up to someone they meet

We are mixed in there and smiling

By pretending we are all nuts like peanuts

On the template of happiness, behind the surface which is literally picturesque

We can't be as we are, even when we put our hands together sitting around a table

Home with full of secrets and patches, you know?

Even though I chew up the real emotions, they still don't disappear, they are still stuck in my teeth

My life is so insecure and drifting, and I know

Every day is so mediocre, but I'm here and so are you

Just by this truth, my stomach feels heavy

この真実だけでもう　胃がもたれてゆく

化けの皮剥がれた一粒のピーナッツみたいに

世間から一瞬で弾かれてしまう　そんな時こそ

曲がりなりで良かったらそばに居させて

共に煎られ　揺られ　踏まれても　割れない殻みたいになるから

生まれた場所が木の上か地面の中か　それだけの違い

許されないほどにドライなこの世界を　等しく雨が湿らせますように

時に冷たくて　騒がしい窓の向こうyou know?

星の一つも見つからない　雷に満ちた日があっても良い

ミスだらけ　アドリブ任せのShow, but I know

所詮ひとかけの日常だから　腹の中にでも　流して寝よう

隠し事だらけ　継ぎ接ぎだらけのHome, you know?

とっておきも出来合いも　残さずに全部食らいながら

普通などない　正解などないLife, and I know

仮初めまみれの日常だけど　ここに僕が居て　あなたが居る

この真実だけでもう　胃がもたれてゆく

この一掴みの奇跡を　噛み締めてゆく

Seken kara isshun de hajikarete shimau sonna toki koso

Magari nari de yokattara soba ni isasete

Tomo ni irare yurare fumaretemo warenai kara mitai ni naru kara

Umareta basho ga ki no ue ka jimen no naka ka sore dake no chigai

Yurusarenai hodo ni dorai na kono sekai wo hitoshiku ame ga shimerasemasu you ni

Toki ni tsumetakute sawagashii mado no mukou you know?

Hoshi no hitotsu mo mitsukaranai kaminari ni michita hi ga attemo yoi

Misu darake adoribu makase no Show, but I know

Shosen hito kake no nichijou dakara haranouchi ni demo nagashite neyou

Kakushigoto darake tsugihagi darake no Home, you know?

Tote oki mo dekiai mo nokosazu ni zenbu kurai nagara

Futsuu nado nai seikai nado nai Life, and I know

Karisome mamire no nichijou dakedo koko ni boku ga ite anata ga iru

Kono hitotsukami no kiseki wo kamishimete yuku

In this world like nuts packed in a bag,

Everyone is snuggling up to someone they meet

We are mixed in there and smiling

By pretending we are all nuts like peanuts

On the template of happiness, behind the surface which is literally picturesque

We can't be as we are, even when we put our hands together sitting around a table

Home with full of secrets and patches, you know?

Even though I chew up the real emotions, they still don't disappear, they are still stuck in my teeth

My life is so insecure and drifting, and I know

Every day is so mediocre, but I'm here and so are you

Just by this truth, my stomach feels heavy

Like a single peanut whose true character was revealed

You get instantly rejected from the world

That is when I want to be by your side, if you're okay with my imperfection

Even if we get roasted, shaken, and stepped on, together we will be unbreakable nutshells

Whether you were born above the tree or beneath the ground, the difference is subtle

May the rain equally moisturize this unacceptably dry world

The other side of the window is sometimes cold and noisy, you know?

Occasional starless nights, days filled with thunderstorms are okay

A show full of mistakes letting improvisations run, but I know

After all, this is a piece of daily life, so I'll digest it into my stomach and sleep

Home with full of secrets and patches, you know?

Let's eat up both special and ready-made meals

There is no normal and there is no answer in life And I know

Every day is so mediocre, but I’m here and so are you

Just by this truth, my stomach feels heavy

I continue on cherishing this handful of a miracle

## Comments

**──How did you feel when you were chosen to sing the opening theme song?**

We have always been fans of the original work, so we were very happy that we never thought we would be in charge of the opening theme song. At the same time, I remember that we were determined to write a good song no matter what.

**──What are your thoughts on the original manga "SPY x FAMILY"?**

Loid, Anya, and Yor each have amazing abilities, but when it came time to get into their daily lives, I read with familiarity the parts of their lives where they stumbled over many things.

I think this is a work that we can relate to because the interactions as a family that appear unexpectedly in the story that unfolds in a grand worldview and the emotions that the characters have are linked to our own everyday lives.

**──What is the name of the song and your thoughts on the music?**

I once heard Anya say that she liked peanuts, which I thought was a good thing, because I was a bit reluctant as a child. I suddenly thought of peanuts in the mixed nuts that I often eat myself and looked them up, and found that although they look similar, nuts that grow from trees and peanuts that grow under the ground are classified as two different kinds, and that peanuts are really a different kind, despite their appearance.

I felt that this was the theme of this work, that there is something interesting about playing a fake family while hiding one's true identity and confronting something like a real family, and that the happiness and joy that comes to you is all that matters, rather than whether it is genuine or not. I created this work with the original in mind.

**──Please give a message to those who are looking forward to the anime.**

It is a truly wonderful work, and as a fan myself, I am very happy because I have been eagerly awaiting the anime adaptation. The visuals are wonderful, and I hope you will look forward to it.

I would be happy if you could listen to the opening theme song "Mixed Nuts" while thinking about it.

## Trivia

* Mixed nuts are a mixture of various nuts such as peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, and walnuts. However, peanuts are considered a legume and not a nut.
* At the end of Episode 12, the peanuts bag Anya is holding is named "**Mazekoze Nuts**", which if one translates the Romaji half into English, gives the name of the opening theme song - "Mixed Nuts". The mascot character in the bag (who resembles the toy from the bonus comic in Volume 1) also makes a reference to Official Hige Dandism.
* At 1:07 in the opening's animation, there is a brief colorful sequence of Yor in multiple outfits. Three of the outfits she is wearing are from the "Yor's 1 Week Coordinate" bonus page in Volume 3 (Days 2, 3 and 4 specifically).
