Lyrics:

Must you tell me every thought that crosses your mind?
I've gotta tell you how I feel!
Are you so unaware of how different our worlds are?
Then let's bring about a revolution!
Do you know? Who I am
Yes, I know! That sky-high pride of yours
What you want? Tell me now!
All I want! Only you!

No matter how immersive this game may be,
Aren't you way too into it?
I want to say that if I don't do things this way, there won't be a happy ending
What nonsense are you babbling about?

My wildest fantasies became my reality…
Ah, cool! You're cool! Beautiful!
Bringing such disruption to my once peaceful days…
I can't believe! You have to leave!
Love and hate too,
Without a partner, those feelings can never start!

So raise your hands!
It's time to give in to happiness!
There's only one right choice here!
From the bottom of your heart, hold up and
Raise your hands! Surrender already!
Raise your hands! Put both up and celebrate!
Raise your hands! One more time
Raise your hands! For this fantastic world!

I won't give up until you tell me what you're planning!
You're so awesome! I love you!

You're so unflinchingly beautiful that I wanna look at you forever…
Aren't you a little too close?
Let's make a lot of memories together!
Where's all your energy coming from?!
Do you know? This passion
Yes, I know! Have you lost your sanity?
What you want? I'm down for whatever!
Oh my god! What are you thinking?

You're always joking around, I never know what you're thinking about
Take a guess! I bet you know already!
By the time I notice, you're closer than anyone else
I won't ever let you be alone!

You say nothing but delusions and refuse to look at reality…
I can't believe! You have to leave!
I couldn't ever be calm around you! I mean, you're my oshi!!
Ah, cool! You're cool! Beautiful!
Ideals and dreams,
Go out the window in the face of unhideable feelings
Overflowing emotions make the world go round!

So shall we dance?
A dance until you give in to happiness!
If you just want to watch, we'll keep dancing - the music is non stop!
Shall we dance! Take my hand!
Shall we dance! I'm ignoring you!
Shall we dance! One more step...
Shall we dance! How long are you going to do this for?

No matter what, I'll be by your side!
That's the biggest problem of all!

Something like this should have never happened!
I can't believe! You have to leave!
Our destinies converging like this must have been fate!
Ah, cool! You're cool! Beautiful!

The things that won’t change,
Are the things I really want to!
You know what this means, right?
Of course I do!
There's no choice but to face things head-on!

So raise your hands!
It's time to give in to happiness!
There's only one right answer here: from the bottom of your heart, hold up and
Raise your hands! Surrender already!
Raise your hands! Put both up and celebrate!
Raise your hands! One more time!
Raise your hands! Don't ever stop!

When it feels as if the world is about to change,
The revolution begins!

A quick note:
There's quite a few puns with no easy English comparison in here, but the big one that I need to mention is the lyrics-only double meaning of "koufuku" (blessing/happiness when Rae says it, surrender when Claire says it) in the chorus. I chose to tie both meanings of the word into the translation with "It's time to give in // to happiness!", which hopefully got across the sentiment!

My favorite little pun personally is how Rae pronounces "Ah, cool! You're cool!" the same way you'd say the "akuyaku" in "akuyaku reijou" (villainess!)

[alpha-sama]

Me: I think it's impossible for two characters to have a canonically accurate argument while simultaneously creating a bop.
Rae and Claire: Hold our beers.

[ronneia_nene]

i love this song i cant believe rae and claire invented sapphicism

[crash-testproductions]

For once this is not yuri bait. This is unaltered unapologetic 100% pure yuri sugar.

[hikarunrun]

If you guys listen carefully with earphones on you can clearly hear them saying the lines while they are singing it. It's like they're having a normal convo in the background.


ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT ITS SUCH A COOL DETAIL

[blackened]

When they actually asked Rae about being gay, the way they handled that, that was pretty sweet.

[yuuuakane]

I love how the lyrics is just a conversation between Rae and Claire but also giving hints on what's coming next for them, especially using the word "revolution" . As a fan that have read the LN, I am very happy towards the anime, I hope they go on with more seasons. THANK YOU FOR TRANSLATING THE SONG TOO!!

[slavishentity]

WE ENDING THE ARISTOCRACY WITH THIS ONE 💯🔥🔥🔥

[ShiraFuyu]

nothing like a Yuri with its song sing by the Main Couple's VA

[marci]

I really hope that they're able to animate the whole series instead of making only one season that covers only the first volume since i really enjoy the series
Thank you for the translation!

[Yui.Hirasawa.]

so the full song is about the two arguing and praising each other😂😂

[jjaa_joyjoyartist]

"ii sekai" I see what you did there Rae

[multiverse_media]

The translation really speaks to us when it’s Rae and Claire talking to each other.

Claire is such a tsundere. Deep down, she cares for Rae. She’s her beloved commoner.

[Kafkaesque]

First I didn’t even realise it was a duet and they really put a meaning to the lyrics. This song is so good because it tells us all we have to know about this anime/manga/ranobe. It’s comedy, yuri and Rae will never leave Claire alone no matter what. They even mentioned “revolution”. Also I just loved how they adapted it into anime because I was afraid it would be low quality something that will last 5 min just as they did with my other favourite yuri mangas but no, they really did a great job here bringing us very qualitative anime and actually I don’t care if they will cut down all “filler” chapters of manga/ranobe and make it 12 episodes I will still enjoy it

[daniaalkhan]

Was not expecting the OP to be a full on coversation, THIS SHIT SLAPS🔥🔥🔥

[melancholystreet]

I cant stress how much I adore this op, this anime, and these girls..

[leonishikino]

Love Seriko's vocals. Her high pitch really does pair well with Karin Nanami's deeper vocals. Honestly fits the type of duets Seriko's done. I esp loved her duets with Miyutan and also Wakachi during i☆Ris's time performing in the Pretty Rhythm franchise.

[isthiselliott]

The way rae says"ive gotta tell you how i feel!" Makes me feel so giddy!! x333

[Aedi_H._Dee]

Whoever it was in the writer's room who suggested the OP needs to be a canon compliant conversation between Rae and Claire, and said Yu Serizawa and Karin Nanami deserves to have all their dreams come true (along with the people who worked on this).

[YorixYure]

As someone wearing headphones I love the small detail of their actual voices behind the singing having an argument
