Hey there~ Originatin' from DotsuHon

It’s me NuruSara, aka Sasara Nurude

I usually do things with an unbelievably nervous yet passionate teacher

And a self-proclaimed scammer, no idea what he’s on about

Today I’m comin’ at ya solo or whatever!

Is what I’d like to say,

But please at least remember my name once you leave today~

Alright! Let’s get started~

Rising curtains, changing atmosphere, speeding heartbeat

Spotlight’s on me as I gaze over the crowd

Inspirin' the audience no matter who it may be

As usual, let’s hype it up on stage

Impatient, anxious, skeptical

Throw those feelings outta the door

Showin’ no mercy once I’m up on the podium

Ya won’t be able to stop from holdin’ your sides

Nice to meetcha, first time 'ere?

You’ll be leavin’ as a billiken

Snatchin’ up all the cheers

Sorry for the wait, ay yo!

38 to 58, properly usin’ the MC

From best to worst

Gainin’ experience as a duo

Goin’ out with a bang as a comedian

Chatterbox, never shuttin’ up

No doubt about it, I want to keep on talkin’

If yer hot, then I'll fan ya with my sensu

On the stage!

Make everyone laugh at this show, leave it up to this act

Clench your teeth, if you work your way up through the sweet and the bitter

Then all you have to do today is give it your all on stage

On the stage!

Let’s charge up this show, leave it up to this act

In life there’s always gonna be pain that comes with joy

As long as I’m goin’ my own way

Comedian Rhapsody

The ones who call themselves performers are always doin’ their research

Thank you! Osaka, over in the blink of an eye

Jokes are comin’ and comin’ from its treasury

Entertainment - if you’re bad at it, you’re cement

If you’re good at it, you’re a god - I know from experience

Tame the demon who lives in the empty space

Get ‘er done even in the dungeon on stage

Fresh off the farm no more, time for You to boil it up

It’s not “That’s enough!” I’m sayin’ “The water’s just right”

Not lukewarm, it’s hot like Sasara Nurude

Allow me to have a soak

On the stage!

Make everyone laugh at this show, leave it up to this act

Clench your teeth, if you work your way up through the sweet and the bitter

Then all you have to do today is give it your all on stage

On the stage!

Let’s charge up this show, leave it up to this act

In life there’s always gonna be pain that comes with joy

As long as I’m goin’ my own way

Comedian Rhapsody

Anyways, this is all thanks to Naniwa

Won’t let you cry, I’ll keep goin’ til ya smile

Puttin’ my life on the line for this business that never gets old

Show it all off, leave nothin’ to spare

(Nu)thin’ gets past this MC, never messin’ up thanks to these limitless techniques

(Ru)les aren’t needed— experts, amateurs, everyone get loud

(De)termined to reach the top by chasin’ my wildest dreams

Alright, I’ll keep everyone laughin’ til the finale

On the stage!

Make everyone laugh at this show, leave it up to this act

Clench your teeth, if you work your way up through the sweet and the bitter

Then all you have to do today is give it your all on stage

On the stage!

Let’s charge up this show, leave it up to this act

In life there’s always gonna be pain that comes with joy

As long as I’m goin’ my own way

Comedian Rhapsody

Thank you, thank you, thank you~

I’ve been sayin’ this and that so far

The party’s at its peak, did ya enjoy it?

Hey wait, stop jokin’ around and gimme my reward

That’s how it goes, so I’ll continue to put on the best show

Only to Sasara Nurude, say this: “I’ll come again! Until next time!”

Alright! See ya~

空く間に住む悪魔も手懐け　壇上のダンジョンでもあんじょうしてまっせ

## Trivia

* The title of the song is a possible reference to a Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody".

## References

1. ↑ The pun in these lines refers to comedy groups with 1, 2, and 3 people: ピンからキリ (pin kara kiri) means from best to worst. ピン (pin) is the name for solo comedians; コンビ (konbi) means a pair/duo comedy group; トリを飾る (tori wo kazaru) meaning going out with a bang is a pun for トリオ (torio) which refers to a 3 person comedy group
2. ↑ 扇子 (sensu) is a type of Japanese fan, used for manzai comedy. This is a pun on センス (sensu) which quite literally translates to sense, probably referring to his sense of humor. 扇いだる (aoidaru) or 扇ぐ (aogu) means to fan, so Sasara says he’ll fan you with his fan. The same word can also mean to incite something, so in this case Sasara is stirring people up with his sense of humor.
3. ↑ Show is a pun for ~ましょう(~mashou) which means Let’s~. Everytime he says “Show” in the chorus, it’s a variation of this pun.
4. ↑ 楽あり苦あり (raku ari ku ari) is an alteration of the saying 楽あれば苦あり (raku areba ku ari) which means there is no pleasure that comes without pain. The line is followed with 毎度あり (maido ari) which literally means every time/always, and it also is a phrase originating from Osaka meaning thank you.
5. ↑ 探究 (tankyuu) means to research, and it is a pun for “Thank you”
6. ↑ 下手 (heta) means to be bad at something and 上手い (umai) means to be good at something. 下手 and 上手 can be read as shimote and kamite respectively, and these are terms that refer to a performer’s placement on stage. 下手 means the left side of the stage looking up from the crowd, and 上手 means the right side of the stage. The person to the left of Sasara is Rosho, who stiffens up like cement when he’s on stage. The person to the right of Sasara is Rei, who Sasara is calling a god. Kamite is also a pun for the word god, kami.
7. ↑ 空く間 (akuma) as I interpreted it means empty space, and 悪魔 (akuma) means demon or devil. Probably refers to the fear of nobody laughing at Sasara's jokes, as that period of silence is the demon he fights.
8. ↑ 壇上 (danjou) means to be on the stage and it sounds similar to ダンジョン (dungeon, pronounced as danjon)
9. ↑ ポッと (potto) is a pun for ポット which means pot/water kettle. You沸かす (you wakasu) is a pun for 湯沸かす (yu wakasu) which means to boil hot water, or to run a hot bath. ええ加減 (ee kagen) means both “That’s enough” in Kansai ben and also “The water’s just right”. ぬるめ(nurume) means lukewarm, and it’s a pun for 白膠木 (Nurude).
10. ↑ なにはともあれ (naniwa tomo are) means anyways; 浪花 (Naniwa) is another word to refer to Osaka.
11. ↑ 飽きない (akinai) means never gets old; 商い (akinai) means business
12. ↑ The first character of the first three lines read “Nurude” and the first few characters in the last line read Sasara.
13. ↑ 宴もたけなわ (enmo takenawa) means the peak of the party, and the first part of that phrase “en” is a pun for enjoy.
14. ↑ シャレ (share) means jokes/puns, and it is a pun for 謝礼 (sharei) which means a reward, usually monetary.
15. ↑ Nurude Sasara rhymes with 来るで、またな(kurude, matana)
