1.You resemble the color of the setting sun
2.Yet, you also resemble the color of the rising sun
3.The color of the setting sun suits you well
4.But so does the color of the morning sun5.
6.Bad Orangez
7.Even if treated like a virus
8.We’re still pretty carefree
9.It’s fine now, because no matter what
10.It’s the “Rotten Orange Equation,” yeah11.
12.The first to start rotting, the original one
13.That strong, selfish, and free-spirited person—
14.They must’ve noticed
15.In this small box, it’s hard to breathe
16.The first to start rotting, the original one
17.We, the bitter onlookers
18.Couldn’t be like them and just stared
19.Frustrated and irritated
20.Before we realized it, days and nights passed by
21.Sometimes breaking rules
22.Walking right through the center
23.Dreaming big with no shame
24.So dazzling and bold
25.Saying lofty lines
26.And fighting for things they wouldn’t give up on
27.If I had the strength to stand firm
28.If I hadn’t followed adults so easily
29.I wouldn’t be so rotten now…
30.But it’s too late to say that, isn’t it?31.
32.You resemble the color of the setting sun
33.Yet, you also resemble the color of the rising sun
34.The color of the setting sun suits you well
35.But so does the color of the morning sun36.
37.Bad Orangez
38.Even if treated like a virus
39.We’re still pretty carefree
40.No brakes, go crazy
41.Unleashing relentless attacks on those who mock us
42.Bad Orangez
43.Even if treated like a virus
44.We’re still pretty carefree
45.It’s fine now, because no matter what
46.It’s the “Rotten Orange Equation,” yeah47.
48.We didn’t have a “Kinpachi-sensei”*
49.Or a great teacher like Eikichi
50.No “Yankumi” or night patrols
51.Telling us to “Look around you” or “Get in line.”
52.We grew into adults in form only
53.While still kids inside
54.But that was over 10 years ago
55.On the way home before the last train
56.The cold winter wind blew
57.Without ever knowing the pain of a fist
58.We became adults who couldn’t even collide head-on
59.Endless quotas, playing whack-a-mole
60.Instead of seeking treasures and standing tall
61.Like a bomb ready to explode when touched
62.I infected those around me
63.Dragging them into the chaos of my party
64.That day, you were just acting tough because you were scared, right?
65.It’s too late to say that now. Keep being someone I look up to forever…
66.But I knew it—
67.You always had such sad eyes, didn’t you?68.
69.You resemble the color of the setting sun
70.Yet, you also resemble the color of the rising sun
71.The color of the setting sun suits you well
72.But so does the color of the morning sun73.

81.We’re still pretty carefree
82.It’s fine now, because no matter what
83.It’s the “Rotten Orange Equation,” yeah84.
85.I have my own way of rotting
86.My own way of growing mold and decaying
87.Packing up everything I’ve learned into my bag
88.I find myself at Nishinakajima-Minamigata** before I know it
89.“I’ll have an epic story to tell someday!”
90.That’s what I felt they’d say
91.If it’s pain we’ve all shared in the same box
92.Then those of us who know it are all allies
93.Bad Orangez
