Dancing Chichiri About the Song

"Really Fired up and Bursting with Guts" was made during the first set of Fushigi Yuugi OVAs. It's sung by the group THTC, which stands for Tamahome, Hotohori, Tasuki, and Chichiri, although obviously it is really sung by their voice actors. This particular song can be obtained on the THTC Single (which also has a karaoke version of this song) and "Fushigi Yuugi OVA 2 Special Best Vocal Collection."

Although I haven't found this explicited stated anywhere, the group THTC was most likely inspired by a manga chapter page, which shows what Tamahome, Hotohori, Tasuki, and Chichiri would look like if they were a boy band.

For a printable version, please go here. However, please keep in mind that both this page and the text document have Japanese characters on them, which your computer may not be able to view properly without downloading a special character set.

As a translation note, this song has some spoken dialog, which I have also transcribed and translated (since these spoken lines are not written on the lyric sheet that came with the single.) These lines are indicated by the [character name] where "character name" is the name of the character who said the line. If you feel a line is mistranscribed and/or mistranslated, please feel free to email me about this.

Really Fired Up and Busting with Guts
Artists: THTC (Tamahome Hotohori Tasuki Chichiri)
Lyrics: Kumiko Aoki
Compostion: Masashi Iehara
Arrangement: Saburou Makino

[Tasuki]: We are THTC! We're about to burst open!
[Chichiri]: Da! Tasuki's suddenly become the leader!

*We're Really fired up and bursting with guts!
 When it's time to do it, we do it. That's how it is!

[Hotori]: I...I...I'm also going to sing this?
[Tasuki]: That's right! We four are THTC!
[Hotohori]: But this isn't my sort of thing...
[Chichiri]: Yes, yes, yes, the emperor is going to sing this part solo!
[Hotohori]: Huh, where, where? "If I were afraid of minuses..."
[Tamahome]: Oops, my turn comes first!

There's a mountain of bad things in my life
But that's no reason to run away and completely hide myself
If I were afraid of the minuses, I'd freeze and wouldn't be able to move
So I'll make it into an asset

%It might be clear tomorrow, but it's raining now. Such modulation really gets to us
 We're tough, clean guys with unbearable wounds

@Really fired up and bursting with guts! Dig up our talents!
 If the sleeping lion doesn't wake up, it loses its reason for living

We have so much energy that at times we do stupid things
A strained thread can snap easily
Even if we fail and make mistakes, our intelligence and charms
Will be cleared by our courage, which won't be beat by anyone

The day is certain to come after the night, as long as the sun exists
The rotation of the earth will never stop. We will never get discouraged

We're really cool and really bright. Make the most of our talents!
Isn't it cool that we can use "No" better than "Yes!"

[Chichiri]: By the way, Tamahome, aren't you Taka now?
[Tamahome]: Well, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
[Tasuki]: Yeah. No matter which he uses, the name THTC is not a lie!
[Hotohori]: I see. But, why does it start with Tamahome's T?
[Tamahome]: Well, well, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

% @ * Refrain

[Tamahome]: Huh, when did the emperor get so unhappy?
[Hotohori]: Huh, ahh, is that so? I'm bit regretful of...
[Chichri]: I thought so! But everyone singing together is more fun!
[Tasuki]: Yeah yeah. If this is a success, next we'll tour all of Konan!
[Hotohori]: I am amazed.

[Tasuki]: Oh yeah, Chichiri! Our "Survivors Team" is going to do one more song! Let's go!
[Chichiri]: Yeah!

『めっちゃハジけて　ガッツとばして』
歌　：THTC (鬼宿星宿翼宿井宿)
作詞：青木久美子
作曲：家原正嗣
編曲：まきのさぶろう

[翼宿]: WE　ARE　THTC!　めっちゃハジけたんで！
[井宿]: だ！ いきなり翼宿がリーダになってちゃってるのだ！

☆めっちゃハジけて　ガッツとばして
　ヤるときゃヤる　そんなもんさ！

[星宿]: わ．．．わ．．．私も歌うの？　これを．．．
[翼宿]: そうや！　四人にそろったのはTHTC！
[星宿]: これと言うのは私の趣味じゃないのだが．．．
[井宿]: はい、はい、はい、皇帝陛下がこの部分を一人で歌うのだ！
[星宿]: ええ、何々？　「マイナス怖がって．．．」
[鬼宿]: オウット、まず俺の出番だ！

生きてりゃ　ヤな事だって山ほどあるけど
逃げたり　隠れて済む訳じゃないし
マイナス　怖がってちゃ　固まって動けない
それ以上の　+ａ ( プラスアルファ)にすりゃいい

★あした晴れても今は雨　メリハリにぐっとくる
　ケガはたえない汚(けが)れない　打たれ強いヤツラ

※ めっちゃハジけて　ガッツとばして　才能を掘り起こせ！
　眠れる獅子(しし)　目覚めなけれゃ　生まれてきたカイないじゃん！

エネルギー　有り余ってボケるときゃボケてる
張りつめた糸は切れやすいから
ハズシて　ミスしたって　IQ と愛敬
誰にも　負けない度胸(どきょう)でクリア

夜は必ず朝になる　大陽があるかぎり
回る地球は止まらない　ヘコたれないヤツラ

めっちゃイケてる　パッとサエてる　才能を活かしきれ！
YES よりも　NO を上手に　使えるほうがカッコいいじゃん！

[井宿]: 所で鬼宿君今の君は魏じゃなっかたのか？
[鬼宿]: ま、いいじゃんかよ、こまけことを。
[翼宿]: そう。　どっちに知ったってTHTCの名前に嘘じゃないんやし。
[星宿]: なるほど。　でも、どうして鬼宿のTから始まっているのだ？
[鬼宿]: ま、ま、いいじゃんかよ、こまけことは！

★、※ 、 ☆ REPEAT

[鬼宿]: あれ、いつの間にか皇帝陛下ものりのりじゃん？
[星宿]: ええ？　ええ、そうか。　私のしたことは．．．
[井宿]: やっぱり。　でも皆で歌うのが楽しいのだ！
[翼宿]: そうそう。　これが成功したら今度は江南国全国トウルや！
[星宿]: あきれた。

[翼宿]: ほうな井宿！　俺ら「生き残りさんチーム」もう一極行くで！　おりゃあ！
[井宿]: ああ！
