Translation:

Do the best / To each his own / Let’s do the best / In our own way

His eyes never reveal what he’s truly thinking
Ever since we met, I’ve been unable to stand him, in fact
To be honest, he and I have never quite seen eye to eye
But there’s no denying that his shooting is incredible, at least

It’s unthinkable that I would lose to an Aquarius today
You’d best prepare yourself
Even “Oha Asa” might be wrong on occasion
“That is out of the question”

He always wants the last word / The last word that’s mine to have
It’s much ado about a difference of opinion
Both arguments are equally logical, yet they’re both slightly extreme
Once we’ve chosen sides, we’ll stand our ground
We’ll continue this / On the court / I won’t lose / We’ll see about that
Each trusting his own code of integrity
Let’s compete, fair and square

Do the best at all times

First of all, the very fact that you chose such an unknown school
Could be considered unacceptable behavior, in and of itself
With all due respect, Seirin is anything but weak
And besides, I’m looking forward to having a good game, with you

Doing everything we can to succeed must guide our choices, as well
That should be obvious
I am glad I joined this team
“I’m Seirin’s shadow”

I say what I mean, and I mean what I say
There are no ulterior motives here / We speak our minds
That can be both a blessing and a curse, in turn
For as long as I’ve known you, that much hasn’t changed
He’s an oddball / Stubborn to a fault / Set in his ways / Etcetera
He absolutely refuses to compromise
So let’s face off, fair and square

He always wants the last word / The last word that’s mine to have
It’s much ado about a difference of opinion
Both arguments are equally logical, yet they’re both slightly extreme
Once we’ve chosen sides, we’ll stand our ground
We’ll continue this / On the court / I won’t lose / We’ll see about that
Each trusting his own code of integrity
Let’s compete, fair and square

Do the best / To each his own / Let’s do the best / In our own way
