1.Dressed up in a laughable getup
2.Drinking and guzzling, yet the day won’t end
3.Walking the streets with a dull face
4.Muttering this and that, then drinking it all away
5.Ah, what a hassle, what a pain—
6.Just another absurd drunkard7.
8.A ragged brocade with a sarasa pattern
9.A goldfish painted on that oh-so-stylish face
10.Working your hips, working your thighs
11.Devouring simple desires once again
12.And now, a voice rings out for all to hear—
13.“I’m so lonely.”14.
15.Summoned forth into this world
16.A pleasure to make your acquaintance
17.Getting cheerful, getting sorrowful
18.Every day is a whirlwind with no rest
19.Raise the curtain, you sluggish lantern
20.Come on, how about a drink?
21.We are the yokai of the modern age!22.
23.Still believing
24.In foolish things
25.Light a fire on the tanuki’s back— ho!
26.Ah, ah, pappalappa—a parade of nonsense!
27.Come on, just go for it!
28.Bang on the bucket and raise your voice— ho!
29.The bright night has arrived, full speed ahead!30.
31.A flimsy girl stuffed with desires
32.A grinning monkey by her side
33.Go on, throw everything away!
34.Alone again, indulging in pleasures in the corner of a room
35.Getting fat on knowledge, on sight alone
36.Growing paler by the day37.
38.On rainy nights, become an umbrella
39.Let someone take shelter in your embrace
40.Sing a song, deceive a fool
41.Comfort anyone, no matter who they are
42.Gathering blind believers under your wing
43.Preaching loneliness as you go44.
45.For the first time, I appear in this world—
46.The rest of the show continues outside
47.Getting happy, getting furious
48.Every day is a whirlwind with no rest
49.Lower your hand, you overcautious guard
50.Come on, how about a drink?
51.We are the yokai of the modern age!52.
53.Let’s flip this whole world upside down!
54.Sucharaka hoisa!
55.Pour water on the fox’s head— ho!
56.Ah, ah, pappalappa—a parade of nonsense!
57.Come on, just go for it!
58.Ring the kettle and sing along— ho!
59.The bright night has arrived, full speed ahead!60.
61.How did things turn out this way?
62.Whose fault is it, I wonder?
63.How did things turn out this way?
64.Ah, at this point, who even cares?65.
66.How did things turn out this way?
67.Whose fault is it, I wonder?
68.How did things turn out this way?
69.Ah, at this point, who even cares?70.
71.Still believing in foolish things
72.Light a fire on the tanuki’s back— ho!
73.Ah, ah, pappalappa—a parade of nonsense!
74.Come on, just go for it!
75.Bang on the bucket and raise your voice— ho!
76.The bright night has arrived, full speed ahead!77.
78.What a ridiculous world this is
79.We sing of peace and love
80.Yet what lies in our hearts is something else
81.And true freedom? We don’t have much of that either
82.So go on, burn it all away
83.With that love you speak of
