AKB48 – 16nin shimai no uta [Lyrics KANJI]

「え～、私がリーダーの小林香菜でございます」
「おいっ！」
「いつからリーダーなんだよ？」
「えっ？
メンバー的に推されは、私でしょ？」
「干され？」「推され！」
「意味わかんないし・・・」
「話がまとまったところで」　
「まとまってないし！」
「こんな感じのうちら
16人姉妹を紹介します」
「イ～ハ～！」

長女の恵はエロエロ姉さん　
ゴールド水着で生活してます
次女の佳代ちゃんはサバを読む　
年齢、体重、靴のサイズ

三女の才加は体育会系で　
一番のおしゃれがジャージに
割れた腹筋
四女の優子は女優なのに
宴会芸は似てない
ものまねと変な顔

五女の彩佳は休養明けで　
八重歯がなければ
“キュラ”と呼べない
六女の明日香は
チャゲじゃありません　
フレッシュなイメージも　
あと僅か

七女の夏海は地味だけど　
誰にもやさしいお人よし
八女の夏希は根が暗い　
焼肉の炭　
じっと眺めて独り言

九女の佐江ちゃんは元気者　
みんなの元気が吸い取られる
十女の香菜ちゃんは大馬鹿で
漢字も英語も空気も読めません

十一女の有華ちゃんは
大阪生まれの　
シンガーダンサーたこ焼き娘
十二女の智美は可愛い声で　
舌ったらず頭たらず　
私以下

「え～、私が選抜の
佐藤夏希でございます」
「おいっ！」
「誰が選抜だって？」
「この曲の選抜でしょ、私？」
「意味わかんないし・・・」
「オチが決まったところで」　
「落ちてないって！」
「一見、仲が悪そうですが、
実は、仲が悪い16人姉妹の
紹介が続きます」

十三女の薫はしっかり者で　
早稲田のパパの遺伝子が
あるのにAKB　
十四女の理沙ちゃんは
大人っぽくて　
「あんた　本当に中学生」

十五女の恵令奈はこれぞアイドル
子どもと大人の間（はざま）に
咲く花
末っ子の真奈美は　ませたガキだ
可愛い顔で私を　見下ろしてる

「え～、私が・・・」
「おいっ！」
「何で、私、色物チームに
入っちゃったんだろう？」
「うちら、メインユニット
バスでしょ？」
「まあね・・って、私たちは、
お風呂かい！」
「そうそう・・・って、トイレも
一緒にある狭い風呂かい！」
「みんなもひとつ
賢くなったところで」　
「おいっ！」
「うちら、16人姉妹なのに、
なぜ、全員、
苗字が違うかと
申しますかと言うと・・・」

「やばいよ、このユニット、
完璧な箸休めだよ」
「・・・明日香ちゃん、
初めはこのユニットに入ってたんでしょ？」
「秋Ｐが、『倉持には、まだ、
未来があるから』って・・・」
「じゃあ、私ら、過去完了形？」
「香菜が知ってる
一番難しい言葉？」
「音と声と書いて、
“音声”と読むんだよ！
みんな知ってた！？」

AKB48 – 16nin shimai no uta [English translation]

“Ahem, I am your leader, Kobayashi Kana!”
“Hey!”
“Since when were you the leader?”
“Huh?
If we’re talking about members who are pushed, that’s me, right?”
“Neglected?” “Pushed!”
“I don’t get what that means…”
“Alright, now that we’ve settled things…”
“We haven’t settled anything!”
“So, let me introduce our 16 sisters, who are just like this!”
“Yee-haw!”

Our eldest, Megumi, is a super sexy older sister
who lives her life in a gold swimsuit.
Our second daughter, Kayo-chan, tells little white lies about
her age, weight, and shoe size.

Our third daughter, Sayaka, is the athletic type,
and her favorite fashion statement is a tracksuit with
her sculpted abs.
Our fourth daughter, Yuko, is an actress, but
her party tricks are bad impersonations
and funny faces that don’t even look like the original.

Our fifth daughter, Ayaka, is back from her break,
and if she didn’t have her snaggleteeth,
we wouldn’t be able to call her “Kyura.”
Our sixth daughter, Asuka, is
not Chage (from Chage and Asuka fame)!
Her fresh image is also
fading fast.

Our seventh daughter, Natsumi, is a bit plain, but
she’s a kind-hearted soul who’s gentle to everyone.
Our eighth daughter, Natsuki, is gloomy by nature,
gazing intently at the yakiniku charcoal
and mumbling to herself.

Our ninth daughter, Sae-chan, is full of energy,
but she ends up draining everyone else’s energy!
Our tenth daughter, Kana-chan, is a big goofball;
she can’t read Kanji, English, or even the atmosphere!

Our eleventh daughter, Yuka-chan, is
an Osaka-born
singer, dancer, and takoyaki girl!
Our twelfth daughter, Tomomi, has a cute voice, but
she has a lisp and isn’t very bright,
even below me!

“Ahem, I am the Senbatsu member,
Sato Natsuki!”
“Hey!”
“Who said you’re Senbatsu?”
“I’m a Senbatsu for this song, aren’t I?”
“I don’t get what that means…”
“Alright, now that the punchline is set…”
“It’s not a punchline!”
“At first glance, we might seem like we don’t get along,
but actually, the introduction of our not-so-close 16 sisters
continues now!”

Our thirteenth daughter, Kaoru, is a dependable person,
and even though she has her Waseda-educated dad’s genes,
she’s in AKB!
Our fourteenth daughter, Risa-chan, is
so mature, it’s like,
“Are you really a middle schooler?!”

Our fifteenth daughter, Erena, is a true idol,
a flower blooming
in the space between childhood and adulthood.
Our youngest, Manami, is a precocious kid,
looking down on me with her cute face.

“Ahem, I am…”
“Hey!”
“Why did I end up in the ‘oddball’ team?”
“We’re supposed to be the main unit ‘Bus’, right?”
“Well, yeah… wait, are we a bath?!”
“Yeah, yeah… wait, is it a narrow bath with a toilet too?!”
“Now that everyone has gotten a little bit smarter…”
“Hey!”
“Even though we’re 16 sisters,
if you’re wondering why all of us
have different last names, it’s because…”

“Oh no, this unit is
a perfect palate cleanser (between main acts)!”
“…Asuka-chan,
you were in this unit at first, weren’t you?”
“Aki-P said, ‘Because Kuramochi still has a future,’ so…”
“So, are we in the past perfect tense?”
“The hardest word Kana knows?”
“It’s written ‘oto’ (sound) and ‘koe’ (voice),
and it’s read ‘onsei’ (audio)!
Did everyone know that!?”
