Lyrics and Translation
[Kuroko is practicing alone; Kise walks up]
Kise: Nice shot, Kurokocchi!
Kuroko: Kise-kun? Why are you here? Rather, are you already trying to get on my nerves?
Kise: Huh?! That was meant as a compliment, you know, Kurokocchi! So cruel!
Kuroko: Hearing you call one of my shots “nice” while I’m practicing kind of ticks me off for some reason.
Kise: You’re reading too much into it!
Kuroko: That aside, what brings you here?
Kise: I had a modeling job in the neighborhood. And then I thought to myself that maybe I’d find you here, so I dropped by.
Kuroko: Is that so?
Kise: I see you’re giving it your all, as usual.
Kuroko: Would you like to join me?
Kise: Of course!
--
Kise: ‘Kay, Kurokocchi, send a pass over here!
Kuroko: Alright.
Kise: Here comes a “Tornado One-Man Alley-Oop”!
[Kise dunks the ball]
Kise: What d’ya think of that, Kurokocchi?
Kuroko: Yeah…
Kise: What a weak reaction!
Kuroko: Well, it’s amazing that you can do an alley-oop while spinning like that, but it looks pretty dangerous. You might get hurt. Plus, I don’t think it would be of any use during an actual game.
Kise: Man, I can’t even think of a comeback to that… Uh, o-okay, how about this?
[Kise runs to the center line]
Kise: Kurokocchi, pass me the ball!
Kuroko: Okay.
Kise: I’m gonna practice making three-pointers from the center line! [imitating Midorima] Hn. Cancer is number one in today’s horoscope (nanodayo). Brace yourself (nodayo). Now! [shoots the ball] Hn. My shots will never miss.
[ball bounces off the basket]
Kise: Huh?
Kuroko: Looks like you missed.
Kise: Ahaha! I thought it’d work if I imitated Midorimacchi!
Kuroko: Midorima-kun’s three-pointers are something special. Even with your skills, I don’t think they can be copied that easily.
Kise: I really respect him for that.
Kuroko: That said, you did a fairly good imitation of him.
Kise: [imitating Midorima] Hn. I will acquire my lucky item and have my revenge (nodayo).
Kuroko: If Midorima-kun finds out about this, he’s going to be pissed.
Kise: Ah! Alright, I’ll stop. ‘Kay, Kurokocchi, I’ll pass to you this time!
Kuroko: Please do!
--
Kise: That was fun!
Kuroko: Kise-kun, I think you’ve changed a little bit.
Kise: Really?
Kuroko: Yes. I can’t quite put my finger how, though.
Kise: Well, lately, I’ve…really enjoyed playing basketball with the guys from Kaijou. Kurokocchi, do you remember that time before, when I went to Seirin and told you that you’d be wasting your talent if you stayed there, and then I asked you to come to Kaijou?
Kuroko: Yes, I remember.
Kise: Sorry about that. I mean, I’m not saying this just because we lost the practice match. Somehow, after that match, I finally started to understand what you were trying to tell me back then.
Kuroko: Kise-kun?
Kise: Even now, I still love winning at sports. I don’t want to lose to anyone, and I know I want to become number one. But after losing to you guys, I get really psyched when I practice and think about getting my revenge. Everybody at Kaijou’s really amped up, saying that we’re definitely gonna win next time.
[Kise passes to Kuroko]
Kise: Alright, I’d better get going.
Kuroko: Okay.
Kise: I came here on a whim, but I can’t believe you were actually here! I’m so lucky! I had a lot of fun.
Kuroko: Me, too. Kise-kun, let’s play again sometime. Even though we’re on different teams now, we can always play basketball together.
Kise: You bet! But I’m not gonna lose another match! Gotta return the favor, you know?
Kuroko: I wouldn’t want it any other way. We won’t lose, either!
Kise: Haha! That’s so like you. I’m looking forward to it! Oh, and give my regards to Kagamicchi!
Kuroko: Alright.
Kise: See ya, Kurokocchi!

次会うまで 少しでも成長したい
同じコートに 胸張って立てるように
離れてても 友情は変わらないんだ
その頑張りわかるから 励まされる
バッシュのスキール音
鼓動みたく響かせ
歯痒さも笑顔も 全部ここで知った
才能の種類は それぞれ違うけど
ぶつけあって 高めあって
もっと もっと もっと もっと
挑んでいけ
一番先にある 勝利を掴むまで
走る道が同じならば
ずっと ずっと ずっと ずっと
つながってる
戦うたび 何度でも驚かせたい
認めている キミだから ボクらだから
簡単じゃないのは
最初からわかってた
こんなにも夢中になれるもの そうはない
ボールを追いかけて 自分に応えてく
強くなりたい ただひたすら
まだ まだ まだ まだ
足りなくて
がっかりさせたんじゃ 納得いかないね
持てる力以上に進め
絶対 絶対 絶対 絶対
裏切らない
才能の種類は それぞれ違うけど
ぶつけあって 高めあって
もっと もっと もっと もっと
挑んでいけ
一番先にある 勝利を掴むまで
走る道が同じならば
ずっと ずっと ずっと ずっと
つながってる
次会うまで 少しでも成長したい
同じコートに 胸張って立てるように
キミとまた 会う日まで[2]

Before we meet again / I want to grow and improve
So that I can hold my head high when we stand on the same court
We may be apart / but that doesn’t change our friendship
I know just how hard you’ve worked / and that’s what keeps me going strong
The squeak of basketball shoes on the court
Reverberates just like a heartbeat
This place has taught us both frustration and laughter
Even though each of us has his own kind of talent
We go head-to-head and aim ever higher
Higher / higher / higher / higher
Seeking a challenge
Until we seize the greatest victory
If the road we travel is one and the same
Then Forever / ever / ever / ever
We’ll be connected
Every time we compete / I want to make your heart pound with excitement
I acknowledge your strength / I can, ‘cause it’s you / And that’s who we are
I knew from the beginning
That this would never be easy
But I had no idea I would get totally lost in this dream
As I run after the ball / I’ll live up to my true potential
I want to get stronger / I’m wholeheartedly set on this goal
And yet / and yet / and yet / and yet
I’ve got so much farther to go
I can’t accept the fact that I made you lose heart
I’ll find even greater strength
I’ll never / never / never / never
Never let you down
Even though each of us has his own kind of talent
We go head-to-head and aim ever higher
Higher / higher / higher / higher
Seeking a challenge
Until we seize the greatest victory
If the road we travel is one and the same
Then forever / ever / ever / ever
We’ll be connected
Before we meet again / I want to grow and improve
So that I can hold my head high when we stand on the same court
Until the day we meet again[3]

あ～出会えて良かったっス
「はい、それに関してはボクも同意です。
みんなに出会えて良かったです。」
黒子っち! Yeah!
なんだかんだであの日々は 今もずっと胸の中特別なんだ
タイムマシーンがなくたって いつまでも青春の1ページだね
目を閉じればそこに仲間がいて
なんだかんだと言ってくる あの頃の笑顔のまま
あ～マジ良かったス 神様に感謝してるんス
こんなに何かに燃える自分 想像もしてなかったからですか。
ねえ、キミはどう思いますか こんなオレはどう映っていますか
昔よりもイケてりゃいいな 傍にキミがいりゃもっといいな
みんなそれぞれ選んだ旅立ちに 口出しなんて出来はしないけれど
きっとたくさん悩んで決めたこと 痛いくらいにわかっているから
なんだかんだであの日々は 今もずっと胸の中特別なんだ
タイムマシーンがなくたって いつまでも青春の1ページだね
元気ですか、なんて 他人行儀
会ってないけど大丈夫 心配しなくても平気
今日は随分感傷的ですね キミのほうがちょっと心配です
新しいチームに馴染めませんか?
だからちょいちょい会いに来るんですか?
困りました ne 弱りました yo 何度言われても変わりません shi
「そんな風に言ってもらえるのは光栄です。丁重にお断りさせて頂きます。」
「ヒドッ」
みんなそれぞれ選んだ旅立ちに 口出しなんて出来はしないけれど
やっぱ本音は、そりゃ淋しいワケで 久々会えたんだし語りたいんス YO!!
なんだかんだであの日々は 今もずっと胸の中特別なんだ
タイムマシーンがなくたって いつまでも青春の1ページだね
目を閉じればそこに仲間がいて
なんだかんだと言ってくる あの頃の笑顔のまま
困ってはないスか? 問題ありませんよ
淋しくはないスか? 問題ありませんよ
それならば何よりっス …何か不満そうですね
それならば何よりっス!
心から
みんなそれぞれ選んだ旅立ちに 口出しなんて出来はしないけれど
きっとたくさん悩んで決めたこと 尊重したいから
尊敬したいから
その気持ちを一番に wow wow
「っス!/です」
ホント考え… 直しません
オレもかなりやれる… しつこいです
でもきっとたのしい… かもですね
じゃあ少しは脈ある… ワケないです
ヒドッ!ちょっとくらいは… ありえません
オレも成長して… 知ってます
だからきっとたのしく… 帰ります
ミスディレクションやめてっ!
なんだかんだでこの日々は 進行形胸の中特別なんだ
なんやかんやとあるけれど まっただなか青春の1ページです
目を開ければ今の仲間がいて
なんだかんだで続いてく あの頃が今を作る[4]

Ah, I’m so glad that we were able to meet each other
Yes / I’m of that opinion as well
I’m glad that I was able to meet everyone
Kurokocchi! Yeah!
Even if I’m doing this or that at the moment / those days are still the most special to me in my heart
Even if there isn’t a time machine / we’ll always be on the first page of our youth
If I close my eyes / I can visualise my friends in front of me
Saying things like this and that / all while sporting the same smile as that time
Ah, I’m extremely relieved / I’m so grateful to god
Being fired up by something like this / I couldn’t even imagine it at all
Hey, what do you think about this? What type of image do you have of me?
It would be great if you thought I looked better than before
It would be even better if you were by my side
Each and every one of us has a journey that we have chosen to go on
It won’t be good to interfere in them
There has to be many worries when you decided on something
So I understand that it can hurt
Even if I’m doing this or that at the moment / those days are still the most special to me in my heart
Even if there isn’t a time machine / we’ll always be on the first page of our youth
How are you, you treating me like a stranger
We haven’t met in a while, but it’s alright, I’ll be fine even if you don’t worry about me
Today, you are surprisingly sentimental
I’m just a little worried about you
Won’t you join a new team?
That’s why you’re coming to see me every so often?
I’m a bit bothered by this, I’m dejected
No matter how many times you ask, my answer won’t change
I’m very honored by the fact that you are saying something like this.
Let me politely decline your offer.
So mean!
Each and every one of us has a journey that we have chosen to go on
It won’t be good to interfere in them
I’ll be a little lonely because I haven’t seen you in a long time
So I want to talk to you, of course, that was my real intention
Even if I’m doing this or that at the moment / those days are still the most special to me in my heart
Even if there isn’t a time machine / we’ll always be on the first page of our youth
If I close my eyes / I can visualise my friends in front of me
Saying things like this and that / all while sporting the same smile as that time
Are you bothered by anything? / I have no problems
Are you a little lonely by yourself? / I have no problems
If it’s like that, that’s the best… / you sound a little anxious
If it’s like that, that’s the best
It’s from the heart
Each and every one of us has a journey that we have chosen to go on
It won’t be good to interfere in them
There has to be many worries when you decided on something
it’s because I want you to hold me in high regard
It’s because I respect you
Wow wow, that feeling is number one
ssu! / desu
Won’t you think about… / I won’t change my mind
I can do it as well as him… / you’re too persistent
But it’ll definitely be fun… / that might be true
Then let’s try it out… / there’s no way
So mean! Just a little is okay… / I decline
I’ve also grown as well… / I know that
That’s why it’ll be fun… / I’m going home
Stop using your misdirection!
Even if I’m doing this or that at the moment
These days are becoming the most special to me in my heart
There are times when this or that happens
This is the right at the height of the first page of our youth
If I open my eyes / I can see my friends in front of me
Saying things like this and that
I’ll make what the past happen in the present[5]
