1.Love’s nine gates hand —
2.One away from winning
3.Parallel lines that never meet
4.Even four concealed triplets can’t explain it
5.A lonely thirteen-orphans hand6.
7.What are you thinking?
8.Your hand’s still hidden from me
9.I’ll take the risk of cheating
10.And push forward recklessly11.
12.I don’t even know if it’s a reach
13.Am I already in tenpai?
14.I’ll take a gamble, all or nothing
15.And wait for your answer16.
17.Ah—!18.
19.“I love you” — there’s no way
20.I can say it right now
21.But if I keep things vague, like “maybe I love you,”
22.I’ll absolutely regret it23.
24.Let’s strip away all the nonsense
25.And settle this match
26.Stop with the trivial chatter
27.Let’s get serious
28.Bring it to love’s reach
29.Wow wow yeah —
30.Which way is your “one-half”?31.
32.Love’s mapo tofu
33.Bang bang ji
34.A misguided bungee jump
35.I can’t wrap it all in soup dumplings
36.Turning round and round like twice-cooked pork37.
38.The secret ingredient’s identity —
39.I can’t reveal it so easily
40.If you’ve got the resolve to finish the dish
41.I’ll serve it up42.
43.The recipe said it’s for curing love
44.But it doesn’t seem to work so well
45.I’ll sprinkle on more spice than usual
46.And wait for your answer47.
48.Ah—!49.
50.“I love you” — there’s no way
51.I can say it right now
52.But if I could boldly ask
53.“Do you love me?” it’d be so much easier54.
55.Aren’t we just spinning around
56.In the same place?
57.The wok’s been on the heat too long
58.It’s about to burn
59.Take it to love’s recipe
60.Wow wow yeah —
61.Which way is your “one-half”?62.
63.Nan-ni nan-ni nan-ni
64.Nan-ni quan (Spring of Drowned Man)65.
66.Nyan-ni nyan-ni nyan-ni
67.Nyan-ni quan (Spring of Drowned Girl)68.
69.Japanese-style!
70.Nan-ni nan-ni nan-ni
71.Nan-ni quan (Spring of Drowned Man)72.
73.If you fall in that one
74.Which spring will it be?75.
76.I don’t even know if it’s a reach
77.Am I already in tenpai?
78.I’ll take a gamble, all or nothing
79.And wait for your answer80.
81.Ah—!82.
83.“I love you” — there’s no way
84.I can say it right now
85.But if I keep things vague, like “maybe I love you,”
86.I’ll absolutely regret it87.
88.Let’s strip away all the nonsense
89.And settle this match
90.Stop with the trivial chatter
91.Let’s get serious
92.Bring it to love’s reach
93.Wow wow yeah —
94.Which way is your “one-half”?
