Edoropolis Emporium

I must admit, sometimes I just can`t stop watching this scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4nkVK76GBU

The combination of video and audio (character`s dialogues, sound effects and of course Ami Itabashi - Battle In Flash) is just so perfect.  :-*

Sometimes I keep watching this scene for about 10 times in a row.
I even try to repeat the character`s speech  :) (in english of course).

And, therefore, I want to ask you about some help:

1) I want to find the lyrics of this song. It just make me wanna sing it

2) Can anybody, please, give me the text of dialogs in this episode? (Original KNT  ;])

Any help will be much appreciated.

The lyrics to Battle in Flash are available on Tigriss's page. (http://www.edoropolis.org/tsimsiean/lyrics-battle_in_flash.htm) (Link takes you to the original Japanese, on the bottom of that page there's a link to Romaji and translation)

However, take note that those lyrics are for the full version of the song. The song's use is somewhat abbreviated in the scene you're referring to in order to properly match the scene's running time. The first two lines of lyrics are skipped, so it starts at the "Inochi no nukumori" line. It goes as expected through "hakobu yo", but after that, it jumps all the way to the second "Battle in Flash" chorus. Not only that, but halfway through the first line of said chorus, right after "Battle in Flash", it jumps straight to the "Kono mune ni". That ends up working because the same melody is repeated for the first and third lines of the chorus. After that, the "Hitomi no mukou ni" lines repeat as expected, but the repetition of the first "Battle in Flash" chorus is skipped, and it jumps straight to the "Let me be your star" halfway through the second "Battle In Flash" chorus. And from there the song ends.

My Japanese isn't good enough to make out much of the dialogue in the scene, but I might see about translating what I can:

0:12 :speedy: "Teyandee! Ippon no ya wa kantan ni orete mo, sanbon no ya wa sou kantan ni orenee ze!" ("Teyandee! One arrow might easily be broken, but three arrows won't break quite so easily!")
0:24 :speedy: "Pururun! Sukashii! Ikuze!" ("Pururun! Sukashii! Let's go!")
0:27 :speedy: :polly: :guido: "Warera Nyankii sannin no hissatsuwaza wo uketemiyou!" ("Take this! We, the Nyanki trio's sure-fire techniques!") Err... having a hard time coming up with grammar for this that sounds good... Doesn't help that "hissatsuwaza" is sort of a tricky term to translate, either.
0:56 :polly: "Hissatsu! Heart Breaker!"
1:00 :guido: "Hissatsu! Ichimonji Fire!"
1:03 :speedy: "Hissatsu! Neko Me Slash!"
1:16 :badbird: "Nani!?" ("What!?")
1:25 :badbird: "Onore! Ore wa akiramen zo!" ("Bastards! I won't give up!") Maybe "bastards" isn't quite right, but it's some sort of insult...
1:28 :bigcheese: "Gen-chan? Ima no Karamaru mitai da dakedo...?" ("Gen-chan? Didn't that look like Karamaru just now...?")
1:31 :jerry: "Ahaha, sono you de..." ("Ahaha, seems that way...")
1:33 :bigcheese: "Atashi-tachi futari no naka dakedo... yaksusoko wa yakusoku yo." ("It was just between the two of us but... a promise is a promise.") Gennarisai had promised Koon no Kami that if Karamaru lost, he'd swallow a porcupinefish. The box that Koon no Kami places his hand on here and picks up in the next shot is labeled "harisenbon" ("porcupinefish").
1:38 :bigcheese: "Wakatteru wa yo ne!" ("You get it, don't you!")
1:51 :speedy: "Tenka Muteki no Daishouri!" ("A Great Unparalleled Victory!") A recurring line that's sorta tough to translate.
1:55  :catton: :batcat: :spritz: :meowsma: "Daishouri!" ("A Great Victory!") Trivia: The text on the lower-left of this shot is "ooiri", which translates to "packed to full capacity" or "full house". Rather fitting.

But yeah, I love Battle in Flash, too. It's based on a piece of music that was already great on its own (the background music that would always be used in KNT whenever Yattarou used his Neko Me Slash), and the new arrangement has that late 80's/early 90's feel that I'm really fond of, with the FM piano, synth brass, electric guitar and such.

EDIT: Just found out that Japanese karaoke company DAM has recently made a karaoke version of Battle in Flash (http://www.clubdam.com/app/leaf/songKaraokeLeaf.do?contentsId=4783156) available.

that word sannin is a term they also use in naruto, isn't that some legendary person?
onore, maybe it's more like: you guys

and I also like this song very much, in fact the most of knt. I wonder if that karaoke version is a success

Sjonnoh, you might be thinking of "sennin" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sennin) (仙人). "Sannin" (三人) is literally "three people", I translated it above as "trio" which is basically the same thing.

felineki

1) Thanks for the lyrics! Now I can sing while watching the episode. Do I understand corectly thar after "Neko Me Slash!" by :speedy: we can hear

2) Big thanks for translation!!!  ;]
Just listen to this. It is not some useless (or meaningless) talks (as an SPC), but the words of true warrior!

I wish someone may post the Japanese text and the translatation for rest of the episode. It may be like this:

0:00 :speedy: Karamaru, this time you have gone to far!

0:05 :badbird: Yes, This time I became strong enough to kill you!  And there is nothing you can do about it!

0:19 :badbird: Even together, three of you are no match for me!

0:54 :badbird: Try to beat this!


Once again - thank you for the lyrics (with comments) and the translation!

1) Yes, that's correct. One thing to note, although the official lyrics that were provided with the CD say "You are the hero of mime", that last word almost certainly a misprint, and it's intended to be "You are the hero of mine". I don't think miming plays any important part in KNT.  :P

2) Didn't the "three arrows" bit actually make it into the SPC version? It's been a while since I watched the SPC version of that episode, but I'm almost certain I remember hearing Speedy say something along those lines.

Yes. He said: "Three my arrows"  ;)

I think that I know why they used the word sanin in naruto now... because there were 3 persons that were so strong and they were used to be together. and know by thinking of it... san means 3 ofcourse  :D

How do I download the instrumental?

please answer this question

I don't think you can without owning one of their karaoke machines. I can only read so much Japanese, so I don't know exactly what's going on at that site but that's the impression I'm getting.

Looking around the site a little more, I did see that they also have Ottodokkoi Nihonbare, though.

until now I've seen every episode, but apparently I skipped the part were Hanzō gaved them that title, I've seen that epi but really didn't knew that was the part were they got that title...

I don`t know if the instrumental version of Battle In Flash exist, however KNT CD contains 2 tracks that are instrumental variants of Battle In Flash:

1) 1st composition in "Hara ga Etta mo Yattaro" track (№6 on Nekoza Dai Ikkai Kouen CD - http://www.edoropolis.org/spcpolly/Drama/Track6.mp3 )

2) 2nd composition in "Hissatsu! Neko Me SURASSHU" track (№12 on Nekoza Dai Ikkai Kouen CD - http://www.edoropolis.org/spcpolly/Drama/Track12.mp3 )
