“I mean, you’ve always got this super-serious look in your eyes~
Could you please stop patting me on the head?
Your hair feels just like cotton candy / So soft and light and fluffy~
You’re the one who smells like sweets, Murasakibara-kun…”

Translation:

Off the court, for about as long as I’ve known you…

Wo-o-oh x 3 / We’ve gotten along well
Wo-o-oh x 3 / That sounds about right~

After practice, we’d stop by the convenience store
Always hungry after so much running around~
We’d all eat popsicles together
And sometimes Kisechin would treat us~

Murasakibara-kun, I suppose you still…hate basketball?
I really wish you’d stop asking me that
Well, I guess I sort of gave up on giving up…

Back then, our skills were a work in progress / But they developed so suddenly
Height~ / Talent / In what seemed like no time at all
Pressing on at our own speed

As members of the same team, we worked up a sweat
While toughing out a brutal training regimen
But when I think back, I remember days filled with countless smiles
There were school events and summer festivals and more
When we weren’t playing basketball, we were mostly just having fun
We enjoyed every day / I don’t think that time can ever be replaced

Wo-o-oh x 3 / As athletes, though
Wo-o-oh x 3 / We fought sometimes~

I mean, you’ve always got this super-serious look in your eyes~
Could you please stop patting me on the head?
Your hair feels just like cotton candy / So soft and light and fluffy~
You’re the one who smells like sweets, Murasakibara-kun

Kurochin, Kurochin, want some candy? It’s a special souvenir from Akita
Thank you very much
Then I’ll lend you one of my favorite books in return

If only you didn’t say annoying stuff, we’d get along just fine~
Hard work / It’s a mystery / Spirit / Anything but that
We’re never quite on the same wavelength

Despite all that, we played in games as members of the same team
We set aside our differences and acknowledged each other’s strengths
When I think back, I remember plenty of fun episodes
Like the taste of the meals we shared in the school cafeteria
We both went at our own pace, in easygoing company
Our mismatched personalities meshed pretty well, in their own way

Wo-o-oh…

We’re bound to clash sometimes, even now
But it’s not because we hate each other or anything

Kuroko: We won’t lose next time, either!
Murasakibara: Ugh, what a pain…

As members of the same team, we worked up a sweat
While toughing out a brutal training regimen
But when I think back, I remember days filled with countless smiles
There were school events and summer festivals and more
When we weren’t playing basketball, we were mostly just having fun
We enjoyed every day / That time can never be replaced
We meshed pretty well, in our own way

Wo-o-oh x 3 / Even though we fought sometimes
Wo-o-oh x 3 / We enjoyed every day
