Episode 1: I Overslept for a Year

第一話、また遅刻! 一年間、寝てました パンをくわえて走り出す 先輩、まだ覚えてる? (Episode one, late again! I slept for a whole year I dash out with toast in my mouth Senpai, do you still remember me?) 制服ちょっときついけど 髪型だけは完璧です 説明なんて後にして 第二期、始まるよ! (My uniform’s a little tight But at least my hair is perfect Explanations can wait Season two is starting!) I didn’t spend the time skip Training beneath a waterfall The costume stayed inside its box I barely touched the guitar at all Twelve half-written choruses A notebook under unpaid bills The longer I stayed missing The bigger the entrance became So here it is Smaller than expected Louder than necessary 必殺技は忘れたけど 名前だけは叫べます 変身ポーズ、逆だけど この気持ちは本物です! (I forgot my special move But I can still shout its name My transformation pose is backwards But these feelings are real!) Return of the Animemememetal! Season two in season one’s clothes Return of the Animemememetal! The prophecy got my address wrong I came back anyway! 「ただいま!ただいま!」 (I’m back! I’m back!) One year late With nothing to prove 「おかえり!おかえり!」 (Welcome back! Welcome back!) Press play We have stupid things to do! 年ぶりの屋上で 風だけ先に歌ってる 文化祭は終わったけど 勝手にアンコールします! (Back on the rooftop after a year The wind has already started singing The school festival may be over But I’m calling for an encore anyway!) 新キャラなんていりません 三角関係も面倒です 昔のリボンを結び直して もう一度、声を出す (We don’t need a new character Love triangles are a pain I retie my old ribbon And raise my voice once more) The festival ended The chairs are stacked The paper stars Came off the wall I waited for someone To invite me back The door was never locked at all I thought the silence Needed an explanation Sometimes a year passes Because getting up is hard That isn’t character development It’s still part of the story ただいま! 誰も待ってなくても ただいま! ずっと自分を待ってたから (I’m back! Even if no one was waiting I’m back! Because I was waiting for myself all along) 制服ちょっときついけど 新しい技はないけれど かわいく叫べば問題ない! 第二期、始まるよ! (My uniform’s a little tight And I don’t have a new move But if I scream cutely, there’s no problem! Season two is starting!) One! Year! Later! Same three chords! Same bad jokes! More honest words! Season two! Budget: zero! Power level: Emotionally questionable! Plot armor: Held with tape! Main character: Showed up late! This is a comeback With bad posture And good intentions! Blegh! 「もう一回、いいですか?」 (Can I try one more time?) I spent a year Trying not to look foolish 「下手でも、歌いたい」 (Even if I’m bad at it, I want to sing) I nearly forgot That foolishness was mine 「笑われても、いいんです」 (It’s okay if they laugh at me) I missed making noise With a stupid smile 「だから今、戻ります」 (So now, I’m coming back) No grand reveal Just me Walking back onscreen Return of the Animemememetal! Season two in season one’s clothes Return of the Animemememetal! The prophecy got my address wrong I came back anyway! 「ただいま!ただいま!」 (I’m back! I’m back!) One year late And completely alive 「おかえり!おかえり!」 (Welcome back! Welcome back!) Start the opening theme For the second first time! Return of the Animemememetal! No new form! No secret master! Return of the Animemememetal! Just turn it up Faster! Cuter! Heavier! Animemememetal Is back! 次回予告! 海回は予算不足! 温泉回は出入り禁止! 大会編は参加者ゼロ! でもメタルは続きます! また来週! たぶん! (Next episode preview! Not enough budget for a beach episode! We’re banned from the hot spring! The tournament arc has zero participants! But the metal continues! See you next week! Probably!)
