---(All)---

Light, Shadow

Light, Shadow

---(Jakurai Jinguji)---

Even if it destroys me in the process, I will change the way things are now

I will never lose, that is what I decided

No matter how tall the wall, it can’t stop me from moving forward

If you don’t lose anything, the road you choose will be your fate

An endless echo, lost in the dungeons again

The overflowing vilifications are already like terminal symptoms

In order to protect what I should,

I’ll defeat you again and again with all the power I have

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

“I won’t be defeated”, I definitely thought that

“I’ll defeat you no matter what”, yeah, I thought that

But that’s not the case now, you’re not who I should destroy

I’m not the me from back then who was trapped in darkness

That’s why I won’t take a single step back, my strong feelings won’t change

Without breaks I step onto the stage and declare it out loud

In order to exceed myself, I turn my engine on into full gear and battle

That’s why I’ll defeat you with my everything

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Revoltingly glistening Nagoya’s illuminations

Even the goddess of victory is my Juliet tonight

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Such amateurish imitations, I don’t even want to look

I’ll open the train windows to clean up this air

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Let’s start, are you ready?

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Today we’re the protagonists

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

You’re five years too early to challenge us!

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

You go ahead and say sorry

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

We lift each other higher

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Aim for the top

---(Hifumi Izanami & Doppo Kannonzaka)---

And settle this

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

This will be the victory

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Of us who have seen hell

---(Hifumi Izanami & Doppo Kannonzaka)---

That’s it, the end

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

You’ve been so shaved off by the society that there’s nothing left of you

I won’t be tricked by mean remarks of some middle aged men!

---(Kuko Harai)---

Hey, dude, don’t go so easily saying you’ve seen hell

It’s nothing like where you’re from, the scenery you see depends entirely on you

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

Harsh training is also a rite of passage

---(Kuko Harai)---

Let's see those results now

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

The feelings we’ve spun together

---(Kuko Harai)---

With this team makes our-

---(Kuko Harai & Jyushi Aimono)---

Determination!

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

I promise I’ll never collapse again!

---(Kuko Harai)---

Open up the way, Nagoya’s here!

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(Matenro)---

We’re representatives of this city mixed with light and shadows

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

A chance meeting of friends who will always support each other

---(Matenro)---

Sharing the same destiny

Shinjuku's Matenro

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

A family putting their lives on the line

Nagoya's Bad Ass Temple

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

Now to settle this and go to the place where the light is shining to

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

When in despair there is always a desire to be saved

Black darkness and iron bars, a shortage of adrenaline

The world I see is different than what everyone else sees

Still I won’t ever let it die, I’ll nurture it

I happened to come by the best team possible, that long awaited day

We, Matenro, will always be the last ones standing

The ridiculed caterpillar is now a brilliant butterfly

flapping its wings in the neon lights of the city at night

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

Extreme situations, I have them too, endless meetings to reflect on things

You’re not the only one who has gone through one hard battle after another

Endless rain with no light in sight, I was about to give up

But then we formed this supreme party and I became a new me

There are many in this world who suffer even now

Watch my ostracised gallant figure, my paradigm that allows me to change

No matter who my enemy is, I will never retreat

This is my destiny, my enemy is always me myself!

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Whatever I do I always fail, I can’t notice simple things

When the rain stops, even puddles have the ability to reflect the early afternoon

But that’s not all, if I just grumble and complain I’ll just end up living in the shadows

It’s always a vertically structured society, yo

I’m not trash like that, I’m not inhumane

I want to proudly say what I want to say and laugh and cry together

To those who look down on people from above

I bet the will and pride of an ordinary employee to give you double the payback!

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

You’re so wrong I can’t even take it into consideration

I don’t even feel like answering such leading false accusations

An idiot who’s angry at the wrong person and impertinent greenhorns

I won’t forgive any of you but let me correct where you’re wrong

Getting back at someone many times over won’t clear a dark heart

The ones who should judge people are not other people but the law, you fool

Resenting someone over a misunderstanding is like wasting your gas

The key to progressing is always you yourself

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(Matenro)---

We’re representatives of this city mixed with light and shadows

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

A chance meeting of friends who will always support each other

---(Matenro)---

Sharing the same destiny

Shinjuku's Matenro

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

A family putting their lives on the line

Nagoya's Bad Ass Temple

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

Now to settle this and go to the place where the light is shining to

---(Jakurai Jinguji)---

With belief so strong that you can’t surrender to anything

An abyss so dark the answer has not yet been seen

Where there is light, there are inevitably shadows too

but the world has lost that too, one day I’ll fix it with my own hands

I’ll save everything, I’ll save him too, progress forward with my friends

No matter if there’s no road, if there’s a thick and tall wall, or how difficult it is

Despite it all I’ll become even a superman if needed

No number of people can stop this resolve!

---(Kuko Harai)---

That’s so presumptuous of you, you’re just compensating

If you’ve lost your light, stand here with the rest of us and come again

This is Nagoya, the best team, in its complete form

When the three of us are together no one’s a match for me, yo

If the society’s too tough on ya, all you gotta do is change it then

The world you see depends on yourself, didn’t I just say that earlier!?

These family-oriented feelings are my newest weapon

I realized that the true enemy is inside oneself

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Always proud

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

And lifting each other up

---(Hifumi Izanami & Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Shinjuku

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Always there if you look next to you

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

Sharing the same destiny

---(Jakurai Jinguji)---

Let’s feel the power that can be felt

Exactly because you have irreplaceable friends

---(Matenro)---

We are Matenro, the defending champions!

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

As expected of champions, this is interesting!

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

See my power

---(Kuko Harai)---

Nagoya’s coming at ya so here we are

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

Bad Ass Temple!

A team competition with a family

Who will even sacrifice their lives for each other

---(Kuko Harai)---

I’ve come to realize that summits are there to be exceeded!

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(Matenro)---

We’re representatives of this city mixed with light and shadows

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

---(All)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

Now to settle this and go to the place where the light is shining to

---(Hifumi Izanami)---

Even if a strong storm is blowing

---(Doppo Kannonzaka)---

And you’re at your limit

---(Jakurai Jinguji)---

Without stopping, continue the road you believe in together

---(Matenro)---

Light, Shadow, Light, Shadow

Sharing the same destiny

Shinjuku's Matenro

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

You can’t get strength alone!

Play in a symphony!

たとえこの身砕けようと変えてみせる流れ

絶対に負けられない　それが私の定め

いくら壁が高かろうと歩み止めず進める

何一つ失わないと決めた道が宿命

鳴り止まない残響　また迷い込むダンジョン

溢れかえる罵詈雑言　すでに末期症状

私は私の守るべきもののために何度も

持てる力の全てぶつけ君を倒す

絶対に負けれねぇ　確かにそう思ってた

絶対にお前を倒す　確かにそう思ってた

だけど今はそうじゃねぇ　倒す敵はお前じゃねぇ

暗い闇に囚われてたあの頃の俺じゃねぇ

だから一歩も下がらない　強い気持ち変わらねぇ

ブレーキなしでステージ上がり宣言する高らかに

俺は俺を超えるためにエンジンかけてやるバトル

だからこそ全力でお前を倒す

下品にギラついたナゴヤのイルミネーション

勝利の女神も今夜は僕のジュリエット

そんな趣味程度のイミテーションなんて見る気ねーよ

通勤電車の窓を開けて常に空気清浄

さぁ始める　準備どう？　今日は俺らが主人公

挑むなんて五年早い　お前が言えごめんなさい

共に高めあい上目指す　つける白黒

地獄見てきた俺たちの勝利　以上終了

社会に削られて見る影もない

そんな中年の暴言には騙されないっす

おい　てめぇ地獄なんて軽々しく言うんじゃねぇ

そんなもんはそこにねぇ　見える景色自分次第

つらい修行も通過儀礼　見せてやりな集大成

このチームで紡いできた想いは不退転

もう二度と下がらないと自分は誓う

そこの道を空けな　ナゴヤのおでましだ

いざ決着　光差す　その場所へ

絶望の中でいつも救い求め　切望

暗い闇と鉄格子　アドレナリン欠乏

皆が見てる世界と僕の見てる世界は別もん

それでも決して絶やすことはなくあげる熱量

巡りあった最高のチーム　待望の日

僕ら麻天狼が何度だって勝ち残り

バカにされた芋虫　今輝く蝶

夜の街のネオンライトあびて羽ばたくよ

極限状態　我も同じ　果ての見えぬ反省の会

厳しい戦い続けし者は主だけでない

雨が続き光見えず諦めかけた

だが至高のパーティー結成　違う我が身となれた

世界中で苦しむ同士いまだ数多いる

我の勇姿シカトみよ　変移させるパラダイム

どんな敵立ちはだかろうが後退せぬ

これぞ宿命　我の敵は常に我 Myself

何をしてもミスばかり　簡単なことに気づかない

雨上がりも水溜りにはまっている昼下がり

だけどそんなだけじゃない　愚痴や文句垂れ流しているだけじゃ日陰暮らし

ずっと縦社会 yo

俺はそんなクズじゃない　人でなしじゃない

誇り持って言うべきこと言って共にしたい　泣き笑い

常に上から目線　人を見下してる奴には

平社員の意地とプライドかけて倍返しだ

見当ちがいすぎて検討にも値しない

先行の言いがかりに返答もする気ない

逆ギレするバカと生意気な若造

どちらも同じく許せねぇが過ちは正そう

何倍にして返したとこで暗い心晴れやしない

人を裁くものは人でなくて法だ阿呆が

逆恨みをいくらしても所詮無駄な空吹かし

進化遂げるキーは常に自分自身だ

いざ決着　光差す　その場所へ

何者にも譲ることはできない強い信念

未だ答え見えることはない　暗い深淵

光あたる場所の裏に影があるの必然

だがそれすらも無くす　世界この手でいつか　実現

私は全て救う　彼も救う　仲間たちと進む

途方もなく壁は厚く高いだろう難易度

しかしなってみせるどんなスーパーマンにも

何人(なんびと)にもこの決意は止められない

救うなんておこがましい　ただ補うだけ

光見失ってんなら隣立って Come again

これがナゴヤ　最高のチーム出来上がり

三人いれば拙僧に敵はない yo

世知辛い世相なんて変えてみせりゃいいんだよ

見える世界は自分次第だってさっき言ったろ

家族想うこの気持ちが最新兵器

真の敵は己の中にこそありにけり

常に誇り高く互い高めあえるシンジュク

隣見ればそこにいる　運命を共にする

掛け替えない仲間とこそ出せる力感じよう

我ら麻天狼こそがディフェンディングチャンピオン
