A Guide to the Japanese Anime Song "Chikatto Chika-CHIKA" from "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War"

The story is set at Shuchiin Academy, an elite school where prodigies with great expectations for the future gather. Kaguya Shinomiya, the vice president of the student council, and Miyuki Shirogane, the student council president, are attracted to each other, but their pride is so high that, even after six months, they cannot bring themselves to confess. Unable to be straightforward, they come to see confessing first as a "loss" and start thinking only about "how to make the other confess."

"Chikatto Chika-CHIKA" was used as the ending theme for the third episode of the first season of the anime.

The English Translation of "Chikatto Chika-CHIKA" from "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War"

Ready, set, here we go!

Shuchi'in Academy, well-known facts, everyone's yearning for the student council (pokupokupokupoku). President Kaguya-san, Ishigami-kun, and the secretary Chika, don't you think they're the golden members? (Secretary Chika, secretary Chika, ra!)

Living in a chaotic country, we all hide our true feelings, but any problem, Love Detective Chika will solve it (Even with an I.Q of 3, leave it to me!)

Love, love, secretary, secretary, initial setup (boom). If you're careless, you'll graduate immediately (phew). Love, love, excitement, excitement, fortune-teller, always, everyone, when you fall in love, you become the heroine. Shine as much as you can (yo), Chicatto, Chicatto, Chika-Senka.

And now, the music has entered the interlude, so let me leave behind some famous quotes or something like that, you know… I want to become a masterpiece that will be passed down to future generations… The lunch break is over, and I'm feeling a bit… Ah, I just came up with something great! But the second verse is starting already.

YO YO, let's start, YO! Because I love you, I love you mascara. Ramen switch, fully on (boiling, boiling, boiling, boiling, boiling, guu~). Soy sauce tonkotsu, very thick. Oh, this is tasty! Phew, finished it.

Hello, murder method, return the murder method. I have feelings hidden in my heart, but (shh) any trouble, I'll solve it perfectly and clearly (What is "So"~!? Sooong~♪).

Love, love, secretary, secretary, initial setup (boom). Unable to say "NO" when relied upon (Yes!). Love, love, earthenware, earthenware, let's make it! Always, everyone, when you love, you become a hero. Live to the fullest (yo), Chicatto, Chicatto, Chika-Senka.

Love, love, shoki shoki, chuuki chuuki, love, love, shoki shoki, chuuki chuuki.
