Song Introduction

Today, I’d like to introduce a song released shortly after Mameshiba no Taigun debuted. ‘Rocket Start’ is a track that has been loved by fans for a long time due to its unique lyrics and catchy melody, even though it has been a while since its release. This song, in particular, offers a unique charm by blending Mameshiba's characteristic humorous expressions with fairy tale-like imagination. The lyrics were penned by Kuro-chan (クロちゃん), who is also a comedian, and his inventive ideas are woven throughout the lyrics.

Moreover, it holds significance because it features the charming voices of Kaede Phoenix and Miyuki Angel, which are now no longer present in Mameshiba.

Lyrics

白雪姫あなたは毒りんごと知ってても食べたでしょ？
そうじゃないとドラマチックな出会いが待ってないよね？
曲がり角でぶつかる出会い
サイドステップで踏みつぶした恋心が
あいらぶゆーより (ゆーらぶあい)
けど逃げ出しちゃう (現状に)
強めのエルボー (かちあげて)
タックルするぞ (全力で)
出来ないことからしるしをつけて地図を作っちゃえ
あいらぶゆーより (ゆーらぶあい)
けど逃げ出しちゃう (現状に)
ババロアパンチ (美味しいよ)
タピオカキック (流行ってる？)
チワワを外に飼いならし実験
印象に残るため前のめり
本当の自分を見てもらったら顔が爆発シンデレラ
明日この世が終わろうとしても
最終ベルはならさない魔法をかけたんだ
あいらぶゆーより (ゆーらぶあい)
けど逃げ出しちゃう (現状に)
強めのエルボー (かちあげて)
タックルするぞ (全力で)
出来ないことからしるしをつけて地図を作っちゃえ
あいらぶゆーより (ゆーらぶあい)
けど逃げ出しちゃう (現状に)
ババロアパンチ (美味しいよ)
タピオカキック (流行ってる？)
チワワを外に飼いならし実験
印象に残るため前のめり
あいらぶゆーより (ゆーらぶあい)
けど逃げ出しちゃう (現状に)
ババロアパンチ (美味しいよ)
タピオカキック (流行ってる？)
チワワを外に飼いならし実験
印象が悪くても前のめり

<Translation>

Snow White, didn’t you eat the poisoned apple even though you knew it was poisoned?
If you didn’t, wouldn’t the dramatic encounter never come?
An encounter where we bump into each other at the corner,
But my heart, crushed by a sidestep, feels the pain.

"I love you" (You love I)
But I end up running away (from reality).
A strong elbow (hit it up),
I’ll tackle it (with all my might).
Mark the impossible things, let’s make a map!

"I love you" (You love I)
But I end up running away (from reality).
Bavarois punch (it’s tasty!),
Tapioca kick (is it trendy?).

Training a Chihuahua outside in an experiment,
Leaning forward to leave an impression.
When I let people see my true self, my face explodes like Cinderella.

Even if the world ends tomorrow,
I’ve cast a spell so the final bell won’t ring.

"I love you" (You love I)
But I end up running away (from reality).
A strong elbow (hit it up),
I’ll tackle it (with all my might).
Mark the impossible things, let’s make a map!

"I love you" (You love I)
But I end up running away (from reality).
Bavarois punch (it’s tasty!),
Tapioca kick (is it trendy?).

Training a Chihuahua outside in an experiment,
Leaning forward to leave an impression.

"I love you" (You love I)
But I end up running away (from reality).
Bavarois punch (it’s tasty!),
Tapioca kick (is it trendy?).
Training a Chihuahua outside in an experiment,
Even if the impression is bad, lean forward.

Impressions

‘Rocket Start’ has lyrics that are quite perplexing. When I first listened to the song, I wondered, what exactly is it trying to convey? The clever expressions and humor in the lyrics, crafted by Kuro-chan, give insight into his extraordinary mental world simply through reading them. Blending fairy tale imagery with modern slang to deliver a message in an unexpected combination is very impressive.

Expressions like “Bavarois Punch” and “Tapioca Kick” are absurd yet strangely addictive, making listeners smile. The coexistence of Kuro-chan's playfulness and sincerity in the lyrics makes Mameshiba no Taigun's performance all the more captivating.

Additionally, the message of wanting to escape reality but ultimately having to confront it resonates with many people. This complexity, coupled with the melody, seems to be why the song is unforgettable after just one listen.

In conclusion, ‘Rocket Start’ is a captivating track that pulls listeners into Mameshiba no Taigun's unique world. The strange addictiveness created by the combination of lyrics, performance, and melody is its greatest strength. I highly recommend giving this song a listen, as you’ll find yourself humming it repeatedly! 😄
