Choudo Ii No

**Choudo ii no** is the fourth song in Kyary's first Extended Play, Moshi Moshi Harajuku. It seems to be written about a special, unnamed room decoration. The exact item in consideration is unknown.

## Background and Release

The song seems to have some resemblance to her wacky sense of fashion, continuously bringing up lyrics that have relations to 'thorns and glitter' which may represent the balance between her love for grotesque and cute things. The only difference is that she mentions it would 'look good in the corner of her room," and that "it isn't a perfect circle." The song also has a noticeably high sequence of video game sounds.

## Lyrics

**Japanese**

そうね 何にしようかな, ちょっと 不思議なもの, やっぱ ヒミツ, アイテム, 的な わかりにくいような, ペンで 書いた 円みたいに, まんまるじゃないけど,

ちょうどいいの ピンク色の, 部屋の隅 置けるくらいの, ちょうどいいの やわらかいの, 愛してるの あぶなくないの, ちょうどいいの トゲはないの, ちょっぴりだけ きらきらなの, ちょうどいいの キミじゃないの, 大きさより キモチがいいの,

そうね 何にしようかな, キミが 好きなものって, ちょっと 前とは違うの, キミもそう 気付いてないでしょ, ペンで 書いた 線みたいに, まっすぐじゃないから,

ちょうどいいの ピンク色の, 部屋の隅 置けるくらいの, ちょうどいいの やわらかいの, 愛してるの あぶなくないの, ちょうどいいのトゲはないの, ちょっぴりだけ きらきらなの, ちょうどいいの キミじゃないの, 大きさより キモチがいいの.

**Romaji**

Sou ne nan ni shiyou kana
Chotto fushigi na mono
Yappa himitsu no aitemu
Teki na wakarinikui you na
Pen de kaita maru mitai ni
Manmaru janai kedo

Choudo ii no pinku-iro no
Heya no sumi okeru kurai no
Choudo ii no yawarakai no
Aishiteru no abunakunai no
Choudo ii no toge wa nai no
Choppiri dake kirakira na no
Choudo ii no kimi janai no
Ookisa yori kimochi ga ii no

Sou ne nan ni shiyou kana
Kimi ga suki na mono tte
Chotto mae to chigau no
Kimi mo sou kidzuitenai desho
Pen de kaita sen mitai ni
Massugu janai kara

Choudo ii no pinku-iro no
Heya no sumi okeru kurai no
Choudo ii no yawarakai no
Aishiteru no abunakunai no
Choudo ii no toge wa nai no
Choppiri dake kirakira na no
Choudo ii no kimi janai no
Ookisa yori kimochi ga ii no

**English**

 Hm, what should I go with?
Something kind of mysterious
Of course, something ‘secret item’-like
And hard to understand
Like a circle drawn in pen
It’s not perfectly round, but

It’s just right, a pink one
One that would fit perfectly in the corner of my room
It’s just right, a soft one
I love it, it’s not dangerous
It’s just right, one without any thorns
One with just a tiny bit of sparkle
It’s just right, it’s not you
The way it feels is better than its size

Hm, what should I go with?
You say it’s your favorite
It’s a little bit different from before
Maybe you haven’t noticed either
Like a line drawn in pen
It’s not perfectly straight, but

It’s just right, a pink one
One that would fit perfectly in the corner of my room
It’s just right, a soft one
I love it, it’s not dangerous
It’s just right, one without any thorns
One with just a tiny bit of sparkle
It’s just right, it’s not you
The way it feels is better than its size.

## Trivia

* The song is infamous for having many spelling misconceptions, such as "Chodo li no," "Chōdo ii no," and many others. Most of these may have originated from the English translation process.
