1. 正しさとは 愚かさとは それが何か見せつけてやる

Romaji: Tadashisa to wa / orokasa to wa / sore ga nanika misetsukete yaru

Cultural Nuance: What is "right" and what is "foolish"? I’m going to smash the one-sided values decided by society and show you the true answer through my voice.

🗣 Japanese Insight: This is a declaration of war, delivered with a shocking roar at the song's opening. The phrase "Misetsukete yaru" (見せつけてやる) implies flaunting one’s overwhelming superiority to the point of making the opponent feel humbled. In an era where "social justice" feels increasingly unreliable, this line encapsulates the resolve of a young artist staking their existence on proving their own truth to the world.

2. ちっちゃな頃から優等生 気づいたら大人になっていた

Romaji: Chiccha na koro kara yuutousei / kidzuitara otona ni natte ita

Cultural Nuance: I’ve been the "honor student" since I was small, meeting everyone’s expectations. Before I knew it, I had become an adult, just another cog in the machine without a will of my own.

🗣 Japanese Insight: This represents the curse of being a "Yuutousei" (優等生 - honor student) in the Japanese education and social system. This line has a profound link to the character Mafuyu Asahina from the unit "Nightcord at 25:00" in Project SEKAI. Mafuyu is a brilliant student who excelled in everything, but by constantly suppressing her true self to please her parents and teachers, she lost her sense of taste, color, and emotion. For a character like her to sing "Usseewa" is a primal scream for the "true self" she killed long ago, providing a moment of catharsis for players who feel similarly trapped behind a "perfect mask."

3. 最新の流行は当然の把握 経済の動向も通勤時チェック

Romaji: Saishin no ryuukou wa touzen no haaku / keizai no doukou mo tsuukin-ji chekku

Cultural Nuance: Keeping up with the latest trends and checking economic news on the commuter train... as if that’s the mandatory duty of a "proper adult."

🗣 Japanese Insight: This section mocks the stereotype of the urban businessman in Japan. Following the phrase "It’s a natural rule for a working adult," it critiques the compulsion to gather information not out of intellectual curiosity, but to "fit in" or avoid being looked down upon as "ignorant." It offers a cynical look at a "manual-driven life" where everyone follows the same script to survive in the corporate jungle.

4. うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ あなたが思うより健康です

Romaji: Ussee ussee usseewa / anata ga omou yori kenkou desu

Cultural Nuance: Shut up, shut up, shut up! I don’t need your meddling worries or unsolicited advice. I’m living my life my way, and I’m tougher than you think.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Ussee" is a very rough, aggressive form of "urusai" (noisy/shut up). Here, it signifies more than mere rejection; it is "spiritual independence." When elders say, "Young people these days..." or "You won't survive in society with that attitude," the protagonist hits back with "I am healthy" (Kenkou desu), meaning "I am sound in mind and body." It’s a bold assertion of pride in their own values. Ado’s uncompromising vocals crush the pent-up frustrations of the listener in one fell swoop.

5. 酒が空いたグラスあれば直ぐに注ぎなさい 皆がつまみ易いように串外しなさい

Romaji: Sake ga aita gurasu areba sugu ni tsuginasai / minna ga tsumami yasui you ni kushi hazushinasai

Cultural Nuance: Pour the drink the moment a glass is empty; take the meat off the skewers so it's easier for others to eat. To hell with these "unwritten" drinking party manners that force us to be "attentive."

🗣 Japanese Insight: This is a powerful punch against the "Fubunritsu" (unwritten rules) that persist in traditional Japanese business scenes and drinking parties (nomikai). For years, these were considered "minimum manners" for junior employees, but in reality, they are a form of peer pressure that exploits an individual’s time and dignity. By listing specific examples like removing meat from yakitori skewers and shouting "This is so tedious!" (Kuso darii na), Ado provided immense relief to generations suffering under absurd hierarchical dynamics.

6. 絶対絶対現代の代弁者は私やろがい

Romaji: Zettai zettai gendai no daibensha wa watashi yarogai

Cultural Nuance: I am the one, without a doubt, speaking for this generation. Don't you dare complain.

🗣 Japanese Insight: The term "Yarogai" (or Seyarogai) is a dialectal ending from the Kansai region (Western Japan). It is a highly emphasized expression used when strongly seeking agreement or insisting that one's opinion is absolutely correct. In a modern age where everyone hides their true feelings on social media for fear of backlash, someone who spits out "poison" so directly is recognized as a true "Daibensha" (spokesperson/advocate). The aggressive dialect at the end of the sentence gives her an air of overwhelming charisma.

7. 私が俗に言う天才です

Romaji: Watashi ga zoku ni iu tensai desu

Cultural Nuance: I am what people commonly refer to as a "genius." Don't lump me in with all of you mediocre people.

🗣 Japanese Insight: "Zoku ni iu" (俗に言う) means "commonly referred to as" or "what is popularly called." In Japanese culture, which values modesty as a supreme virtue, calling oneself a "genius" is the ultimate taboo and the ultimate provocation. However, after witnessing Ado’s vocal prowess, the listener has no choice but to accept it as fact. This total affirmation of one's own talent became a symbol of "the strength to believe in oneself" for a generation suppressed by societal pressure.

🎤 Emotional Summary: Breaking the Cage of the "Honor Student"

Ado’s "Usseewa" is a track that uses the human voice as a bullet to shatter the cage of "rightness" and "manners" imposed by society.

For those who, like Mafuyu Asahina in Project SEKAI, have lost themselves by playing the role of the "honor student," this song provides the courage to acknowledge their inner anger and affirm themselves as "geniuses." If you feel suffocated by the demands of your daily life, surrender yourself to this scream and smash the "X" marks placed upon your heart.
