Japanese lyric meanings:
1st Half:
Why are they pink?
I thought of pink at the zoo.
It's the right food.
Actually, I love tarako*
Let's eat shrimp plus crab.
Will I turn pink?
So, we're all different colors.
Humans misunderstand.
2nd Half:
If a crane's tail bends down, it's a flamingo.
The meaning behind it is ambiguous, but interesting, isn't it?
The world is painted like a rainbow.
And even today, somewhere in the world,
Flamingos are munching on shrimps.
Let's paint ourselves pink fellow flamingos! 1, 2, 3!

*Tarako: Salted fish eggs

"If your multi color that's cool too" My fave part

[TodayIsTuesdayThend]

"You don't need to change. It's boring being the same. Flamingo. You're pretty either way." 

I honestly don't know what my life would be like if I had never stumbled upon Kero Kero Bonito. I AM IN LOVE.

How many shrimps do you have to eat,
before you make your skin turn pink?
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich

"Wild flamingos are pink because they eat carotene-containing brine shrimps (one species) or blue-green algae (another species). Lacking such food in zoos, they turn white unless fed caroteniferous substitutes —carrots, beets, or red peppers in the old days, or the additive canthaxanthin today."


Really interesting. I guess you learn something new from songs lol.

[zdarlighter]

[rece]

I thought this was a music vid. I’ve been bamboozled

[alidiaz]

I googled pink shrimp and somehow ended up here... Nice.

[barszczpop]

The melody sounds like something you would hear in an Animal Crossing house on the radio. :D
