1. 争い合って 壊れかかった このお茶目な星で 生まれ落ちた日から よそ者

Romaji: Arasoiatte kowarekakatta / kono ochame na hoshi de / umareochita hi kara yosomono

Cultural Nuance: On this broken planet, worn out by endless conflict, I’ve been an "outsider" from the day I was born into this cruel yet "mischievous" world.

🗣 Japanese Insight: The phrase "Arasoiatte kowarekakatta" (broken by conflict) directly reflects the reality of the anime's setting, where the nations of Ostania and Westalis are in a constant state of tension and espionage. Paradoxically, Hoshino describes this desolate world as "Ochame" (お茶目). This word typically refers to someone being playful, innocent, or childishly mischievous in a way that lightens the mood. By calling a world full of absurdity and cruelty "mischievous," Hoshino suggests a strength that refuses to be swallowed by despair—treating the world's tragedies as a "bad prank."

Furthermore, the word "Yosomono" (よそ者 - outsider) refers to someone from the outside, a stranger who doesn't fit into a specific community or social group. It encapsulates the deep isolation of "Twilight" (Loid Forger), who abandoned his name and past to live as an eternal outsider.

2. ただ秘密を抱え 普通のふりをした あなたと 探し諦めた

Romaji: Tada himitsu o kakae / futsuu no furi o shita anata to / sagashi akirameta

Cultural Nuance: With you, who hides secrets and pretends to be "normal" just to blend in—I had given up on ever finding a place where I truly belonged.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Futsuu no furi" (Pretending to be normal) speaks to the pain felt by many in modern society. Loid, Yor, and Anya all wear masks to hide their true identities. Hoshino suggests that a "place to belong" is not something you find ready-made; it is something you build by being close to someone, even if it starts with a facade. The phrase "giving up on searching" implies that true connection only begins when you stop looking for a pre-packaged version of happiness and start creating your own tailored bonds.

3. いつの日も 君となら喜劇よ

Romaji: Itsu no hi mo / kimi to nara kigeki yo

Cultural Nuance: No matter what trouble arises, just being with you turns my life into a "Comedy" filled with laughter.

🗣 Japanese Insight: This phrase reflects the heartwarming dynamics of the Forger family. Anya, with her childish innocence, constantly disrupts the peace, and Yor—who tries to be a perfect mother—is a disastrous cook with a dangerously eccentric side. For Loid, a cold and calculated spy, life with these two is full of unexpected chaos. Yet, they are his ultimate healing; they make him forget his grim missions and realize that because they are by his side, life becomes a "Comedy."

4. あの日ほどけた 淡い呪いに 心からのさよならを

Romaji: Ano hi hodoketa / awai noroi ni / kokoro kara no sayonara o

Cultural Nuance: The curse of "having to be alone" that bound me for so long quietly unraveled the day I met you. I can finally say a heartfelt goodbye to those dark memories.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Noroi" (呪い - Curse) refers to the negative beliefs that shackle the characters—for Loid, the rule that a spy must be solitary; for Anya, the fear that she will be abandoned if she isn't "useful." Note the word "Hodoketa" (ほどけた - unraveled). Instead of being violently cut, the curse naturally dissolved through the warmth of family. This "goodbye" is an expression of gratitude for being released from that long, pale shadow of loneliness.

5. 咲き誇る花々 「こんな綺麗なんだ」って 君と話したかったんだ

Romaji: Sakihokoru hanabana / "konna kirei nan da" tte / kimi to hanashitakatta n da

Cultural Nuance: Seeing the flowers in full, vibrant bloom, the first thing I wanted to do was tell you, "Look how beautiful they are." I simply wanted to share that small joy with you.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Sakihokoru" (咲き誇る) describes flowers blooming at their absolute peak, full of life and beauty. Hoshino believes that the smallest unit of "family" or "love" is found in sharing these trivial moments of moved emotion. Sharing the beauty of a roadside flower is more meaningful than a world-saving mission. This represents the most human and earnest desire of Loid and his family: to have someone to share a "pointless daily report" with.

6. 永遠を探そうか できるだけ暮らそうか

Romaji: Eien o sagasou ka / dekiru dake kurasou ka

Cultural Nuance: Rather than chasing an abstract "forever," let’s just focus on living together in this home for as many days as we possibly can.

🗣 Japanese Insight: Hoshino contrasts the grand ideal of "Eternity" with the grounded reality of "Dekiru dake" (as much as possible). For a spy whose life is at risk and whose family is a temporary cover, "as much as possible" is the most sincere form of love. It’s a commitment to cherish every second of their daily life together over metaphysical concepts of love.

7. 分かち合えた日々に 笑い転げた先に ふざけた生活はつづくさ

Romaji: Wakachiaeta hibi ni / waraikorogeta saki ni / fuzaketa seikatsu wa tsuzuku sa

Cultural Nuance: Beyond the memories of days we shared, rolling on the floor with laughter, our imperfect, silly, and beloved "farcical" daily life will continue.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Waraikorogeru" (笑い転げる) describes laughing so hard that you literally roll around or hold your stomach in uncontrollable joy. Furthermore, the word "Fuzakeru" (ふざける) is a multilayered term that can mean to joke around, to frolic like a child, or even to act insincerely. In this lyric, Gen Hoshino deliberately uses the word in its most positive light—referring to the innocent and affectionate way loved ones play and tease one another. He uses it as the ultimate praise for a life where professional spies can let down their guard and act "silly" at home. This final phrase is a warm blessing that affirms the Forgers' double life.

🎤 Emotional Summary

Gen Hoshino’s "Comedy" is a story of "Yosomono" (outsiders) building a true home through shared meals and daily conversation.

In a "Mischievous" world where we "pretend to be normal," meeting someone to "roll around laughing" with in a "silly" life might be the only way to save our lives from becoming a tragedy. This song makes you want to turn to the person next to you and simply ask, "What should we eat today?"
