"Soft"
Lyricist: Shinichi Kanzawa (Shinichi Sekizawa)
Composer: Koga Masao (Koban Masao)
Chorus: Misora Hibari (Misora Sojaku)
Don't think you'll win, if you think, lose.
Don't always want to win, you will lose if you think about it
Losing was originally of this chest
Originally, this concede was in the chest
I'm living in the back, and I have a dream of soft
In the depths of my heart, a judo dream sprouted
Once in a lifetime.
Only once in a lifetime, only once in a lifetime
They wait
Always waiting for the dream to come true
People are people, but there are nozomi.
People are like that, always have their own dreams
I'm going to throw it away and go over the standing se
Even if you put down your face, you have to try to overcome it
At least tonight, like a human being.
Even if it's just tonight, be like a real person
Tears of love, tears of love
Savor the tears of bitter love
They bite
Tears of bitter love
It's faster to do it than to say it.
Instead of talking with your mouth, do it early
It's not time to take the fools.
Throw your opponent out
Go, live, sit, and blow
Whether it is moving or still, sitting or lying down
Soft Hitosji Soft
a lifetime of judo, a lifetime of judo
The night dawns.
Sooner or later, dawn will come
