Episode 4: I Gooned Too Close to the Moon

Three in the morning Curtains closed Moon Princess: Forbidden Eclipse Secret route unlocked I spent all night gooning To a sailor-suited queen She whispered, “Choose your destiny” From the loading screen One final scene One final click Then I would finally go to sleep But the credits rolled My stomach growled And there was nothing left to eat I stumbled out for midnight snacks Still hearing her transformation theme I crossed the road without looking up Still staring at the princess on my screen A horn White light Truck-kun at full speed Wait This isn’t in the game 目を開けたら月の城 知らない顔が鏡にいる リボンも魔法も完璧だけど この衣装、少なすぎませんか？ (When I opened my eyes, I was in a castle on the moon An unfamiliar face was staring back from the mirror The ribbons and magic are perfect, but Isn’t this outfit a little too revealing?) I woke beneath a silver sky Now everybody calls me Princess The costume barely passed inspection But the power feels magnificent I woke beneath a silver sky I woke beneath a silver sky Now everybody calls me Princess 毎晩ポーズを決めさせて 休憩時間はありません 笑顔の角度まで決められて 月の魔法も残業です (They make me strike poses every night There isn’t any time for breaks Even the angle of my smile is decided for me Even moon magic comes with overtime) I thought desire would feel like freedom I thought attention meant I’d won The gaze became another schedule The fantasy became a job We did not come to conquer your kingdom We came to negotiate lunch breaks You’re the tentacle demon I’m the union representative …Where do I sign? No more quotas! No more scenes! Give us sleep! Give us pockets! I woke beneath a silver sky They tried to sell me as their Princess We tore the schedule from the palace Now the moon belongs to all of us Put on the sweatpants. We strike at dawn.
