“Hirogaru Sky! Precure ~Hero Girls~” — Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure (Hirogaru Sky! Precure) OP — English Translation

Romaji | English Translation

---

(Sky-high fly)

Soar into the sky, higher than the highest
Let’s go to a broader world! Precure!
(Shiny sky! Sunny blue sky!)
(Fly high!)

VERSE

A rainbow prism after the rain
The sky tells us something’s beginning
I reach out my hand to see what it is
Then in my hand, I found the light of hope
Quickly, catch, catch!

Overcoming despair
We’ll become stronger
Wipe away your tears and take off!

CHORUS 

Soar into the sky with the highest spirits
Change your frustration to glittering hearts
The unknown world and the future are full of possibilities
We’re friends linked together under the same sky! Continue tomorrow, miracles!
Hero Girl Sky! Precure

“Houki Gumo” (trans. “Comet Cloud”) — Yakitate!! Japan OP 1

I was feeling nostalgic, so I thought I’d put this opening up. (Thought I had already, but oh well.) If you haven’t watched this show…it’s a trip. It’s a parody of shounen anime with a baking theme.

The main character, Kazuma Azuma, is trying to create a uniquely Japanese-style bread — a “JA-pan”, you might say. “Pan” (パン; ぱん) means “bread”. Get it? Yeah, it’s that kind of show.

I know this is a random thing to end the year with, but…um…Happy New Year! May your…fortunes rise like bread? I don’t know. 😂

VERSE
dokoka tooku de mimi o sumashiteru hito ga iru
arayuru basho de sora o miageteru hito ga iru
yozora no shita de kuchibue fuiteru bokutachi wa
kotoba mo nai mama yubi de tada seiza o nazotteru

samugariya no yume tsumetai kimi no te
atatameru mahou wa hitotsu no michi o shinjiru koto

CHORUS
houki gumo no muKOU ni mitsuketa hitotsubu no hoshi wa
kagayaku hoshi demo kasuka na hoshi demo
kimi dake no hikari

mune no kumo no muKOU ni mienai mama no michishirube
saa kono te o hiraite ima nani o shinjimasu ka

---

Notes:

• “Yakitate” (焼きたて) means “freshly baked”, so the title of the show roughly translates to “Freshly Baked!! Japanese Bread”.

“PSYCHO:LOGY” — Pop Team Epic Season 2 OP

VERSE

“Cheers! Delicious Party Precure” — Delicious Party Precure OP

Toei Animation got hacked, so all their anime are on hiatus. That means no new Precure for the next couple weeks. Bummer. Just when the third Cure was close to joining the team. 😕

Well, Toei gave us some appetizers to snack on until the Delicious Party is back on. Here’s the opening theme. Lyrics below.

DERISHASU egao kamishimetara

“Aoi Honoo Syndrome” (trans. “Blue Flame Syndrome”) — Digimon Universe: App Monsters ED1

Yep, it’s an ending theme this time. I don’t usually listen to them, but this one was too good to skip. The Digimon franchise has always had great music.

Digimon Universe: App Monsters is on Crunchyroll. (Not getting paid. I just watch a lot of anime there.)

“FACTION” — Digimon Ghost Game OP *UPDATE*

Digimon Ghost Game premiered Saturday (Sunday in Japan), and you can watch it on Crunchyroll!

I like it so far. I didn’t think a horror-themed Digimon season would work — Tamers had lots of horror elements but wasn’t a horror anime — but it looks promising.

We don’t have the official lyrics to the opening theme yet, so I wrote what Crunchyroll put in their subtitles. I’ll edit this page in the future. I think the name “FACTION” is wordplay: “fact” + “fiction”. The lyrics talk about “truth or lie”, whether what the characters are seeing is real, etc. But it is real, so it’s not fiction — it’s fact. It’s “faction”. Get it? 🤷‍♀️

Eh, whatever. It’s still a cool song..
