*Mao (1)* _Description:_ 『They’re all the more reason to feign innocence like a cat.』 0:17 My future is completely thick with boundless exhaustion from afar. All my prospects, irritation, anxiety and rebellion should just go back off, off, off！ Even if my forehead burns utterly with brain fever, I won’t retreat. Throughout heaven and earth are things of danger and fright; Sigh, sigh, sigh. 0:29 My future is completely filled with hardships, so I’ll hide my true self away. The invitation to a peaceful route. A guide to subsistence in this world taps upon “loneliness”, with a covered up lie. 0:40 So, what’s the deal already? It’s annoying as heck. _(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)_ So, what’s the deal? It’s already over. _(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)_ So, what’s the deal? I’ve already said it. _(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)_ My heart is already no more, more, more! You knew, right? 0:55 Come here- Mao, Mao! A round Mao! Sighing just like this. Facing things with a smile and jumping when you miss. Mao, Mao! Who exactly are you? Even if I ask, you would surely not understand. 1:07 Let’s go! Putting up a bluff comes naturally! _(Naturally!)_ I just want to groom my fur as I please! _(Meow, meow, meow, meow!)_ I’ll never agree to this mutualism! _(Never agree!)_ Bye, bye, bye! 1:17 Showing my affirmation to you often with a nod. Discouragement, efforts, hardships, amiability; They’re all the more reason to feign innocence like a cat! (2) Meow~ 1:36 Hiding from the eyes of people in a graceful manner. I want to retract the stake that sticks out and then leave, leave, leave, leave! (3) The world I dreamed of in that day, has touched my back. 1:48 So, what’s the deal already? It's annoying as heck. _(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)_ So, what’s the deal? It’s already over. _(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)_ That’s why I cry out with a mew; That’s why I’m always by myself alone; Acting like I’m at home and going to bed; Again and again! I’m crying. 2:01 Come here- Mao, Mao! The crowd has gathered to laugh at my true self. Hiding in a pocket and attracting fur-midable attention. Mao, Mao! Then why is it that the insides of my heart, don’t join together at all? 2:38 All alone- Mao, Mao, a round Mao. You sighed. Using your disguised footprints to leave from the junk. Mao, Mao; including those unpleasant conflicts; Let’s just give everything up as hopeless, because simply living is something to be proud of! No matter if it’s a life of full marks or zero marks…! 2:53 That’s why: Mao, Mao! A round Mao! A coat of fur stained in ten shades. Everyone is jumping around however they'd like! See now? What’s most important is just staying as you are! Mao, Mao! A round Mao! Meow! 3:06 Let’s go! Putting up a bluff comes naturally! _(Naturally!)_ I just want to groom my fur as I please! _(Meow, meow, meow, meow!)_ I’ll never agree to this mutualism! I refuse to be a part of it! I just want to be myself! 3:17 This wonderful uninhibited life emerged out of nowhere! Let’s just go ahead and rumble like a cat! Meow~ (1) 猫（mao）is the word for cat in Chinese. This lyric was kept as it was due to the song’s Chinese New Year cultural influence. (2) The phrase used for "feign innocence" here is the Japanese metaphor "猫かぶり", which is referring to how one would literally put on a cat. This is said because cats always look innocent, regardless of what they may have committed. This connects to the theme and title of the song, being literally "cat" in Chinese.
I like how the first part is just a whole ton of kanji lyrics haha, suffering in kanji is so fun :D Also “Mao” can be written as 猫 in Chinese (pronounced neko in Japanese which means cat) so all the Chinese references are getting to me TT (2:27 has a small melody that sounds like 12 Fanclub 👀)
Me VS My family on Chinese New Year of this year (I am chinese person) My family : *listen to the New Year songs of the past year* Me : *listen to Mafumafu new song and feel satisfied*
3:01 oh my gosh. i knew his range was really impressive but sometimes it still catches me off guard sigh also that "Nyaaa~" is something I never knew I needed until now, thank you Mafu
