NOTES
Gyuudon is rice covered with beef and vegetables. Also, be careful: Yankees in this song doesn't refer to the New York Yankees! It refers to a type of Japanese punk, basically the Japanese equivalent of white trash. A camisole is a sleeveless women's undergarment. Nata De Coco is a white, gelatinous food product. It's usually smooth and chewy, and is sweetened to be a dessert. Matsuyuki Yasuko and Makise Riho are both drama actresses. The Yayoi period is the name of a period in Japanese history, which corresponds to 300 BC to 300 AD (in other words, a VERY primitive time!). Egashira refers to Henry Egashira. He's an American-born, half-Japanese guy who's done a lot of speaking about World War II, since he lived in Japan while it was going on.

(Spoken)
My hometown is Saga Prefecture
Today, I'm going to tell you everything about Saga
All of you who plan to see Saga Prefecture
Please, listen to this song.
Saga Prefecture!
Waah, Saga!

Today too, the children who are coming home from school
Wear helmets, even though they're walking
Even though cars rarely drive through here
They still have fluorescent tape on their helmets
Well over half of the class goes to the same barber
And the other half of the class are mothers
In Saga,
In Saga, they finally have a gyuudon shop
It has an orange sign, but it's called Yoshida's

Yankees are really popular
And really, what the hell is a camisole?
The ants are really big
And I don't know why
But Nata De Coco is just now popular

S-A-G-A, Saga, S-A-G-A, Saga
Matsuyuki Yasuko won't admit that she's from Saga

Riding on the bus along Saga's prefectural road
One whole side is full of rice paddies, as though it were the Yayoi period
And if you want to talk about buildings, there aren't even private homes
The name of the bus stop is "In Front of Mr. Yamashita's House"
When people leave the house
It's not a habit in Saga to lock the door
So when they returned from their family vacation, and opened up the entrace hall
The old woman next stoor was sleeping in her underwear

Saga is wonderful in many different ways
There's even a slogan
For Saitama it's "Saitama, the Colorful Land"
For Okinawa, it's
"Let's go! Come on, to Okinawa!"
But for Saga, it's
"Look for Saga!"
The people in Saga are very negative

S-A-G-A, Saga, S-A-G-A, Saga
Makise Riho also won't admit that she's from Saga
S-A-G-A, Saga, S-A-G-A, Saga
Egashira, don't admit that you're from Saga
S-A-G-A, S-A-G-A, oh, oh, Saga Prefecture
S-A-G-A, Saga, that's just the sad nature of it

(yelled at the end)
Saga! My hometown is Saga Prefecture!
I love it! So everyone sing with me!
SAGA, SA, I'm not gonna stop until you say it!
S, give me more and more power!
It's alright! I'm not embarrassed!
I'm not quick to get embarrassed!
SA, more more, G, it's alright!
It's alright! Give it your all! Don't give up! In your loudest voice!
It's my room, it's my place, it's my life so it's fine!
