It’s a huge crisis! I have to leave the house in 10 minutes or I’ll be late!
But I’ve got this—if I get serious, I can look super cute even without much time!
Nya-nya-nya~~
Nya-nya-nya~~
That said, it looks like I might not make it in time!
But I can’t let anyone see me without makeup! /// “No way! ××”
Splurging just for today—Go! Taxi! My makeup kit is rooting for me too!
Compared to my massive dreams, a little slip-up like this is nothing, right? (?)
Please forgive me—just look at how cute I am! Pretty please! “Pretty please!”
I don’t have many special talents, but I think having a cute face is a gift, so please be nice to me!
Seize the moment using every trick in the book!
Polish, polish, polish those strengths! Conquer the world with cuteness!
“Is being cute not enough?”
Right, left, straight ahead—I’ll make your heart skip a beat!
Squeeze all the cute things tight!
Even back in the Warring States era, or in Ono no Komachi’s time…
They were probably giving it their all, too.
It’s a battle to win love!
Toss that timid heart right out the window!
Sharing brings happiness and fun!
This place—right here—is the best spot in the world!
Nya-nya-nya~~
Nya-nya-nya~~
Actually, there’s more to me than just being cute!
…Or so I thought, but nope, that didn’t work out~ “Oh my!”
Please protect me—
Just look at how cute I am! “Please!”
It’s frustrating, but hoping someone will notice my cuteness…
I swing my tail with all my might—*CRACK!*
Put those flaws to work—use ’em, use ’em, use ’em! Even the clumsy bits and the silly bits!
“Is being cute not enough?”
Vertical, horizontal, diagonal—I’ll make your heart skip a beat!
Squeeze all those feelings of love tight—*gyu-gyu-gyu-gyu-gyu!*
Back in the day, even Cleopatra
Gave it her absolute all—
It’s a battle to win love, after all!
With your love, the possibilities are *infinite*!
Circle, X, Square, Sun—the angle’s gotta be good!
Selfies, selfies, selfies—gotta make sure I look my best!
Compared to the vastness of space, we’re just tiny specks…
Leap over the stratosphere and the cosmos—
Let’s go on and on forever!
KAWAII is *infinite* and *absolute*!
Being a CUTIE saves the day in all sorts of ways!
This is Harajuku—
A gathering place for cute things… which means it’s the “center of Japan!”
I want to eat lots of cute sweets—”But no, you can’t!”
My cuteness meter would drop right down!
“Is being cute not enough?”
I’ll make fans and haters alike swoon—
I won’t tell you the secret to my cuteness!
Back in the day, even Marilyn Monroe
Probably gave it her all, too.
I’ll make the whole galaxy swoon—
Enough to change the very shape of the Earth!
Love me with love!
Love me with affection!
Let’s create a world that’s even cuter!
Nya-nya-nya~~
Nya-nya-nya~~
Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nyan
Nyan!
