Notes

• Kakuryū sings this song to himself when performing menial tasks at a few points during the series.
• Whilst he freely admits to having been a kid just like you, Star Saber refutes the claims that he is a bed-wetting compulsive eater by shaking his head. He may not be the most trustworthy source, however, for if it were true, it might not be the kind of information he'd want leaking out, so to speak.
• "Chichinpui" is a magic word for when you want something to disappear, such as a mother might say to her child when kissing better a scraped knee.
• Despite what certain anthropomorphic amphibians might have you believe, "banzai" (万歳) is less of a war cry and more a cheer of celebration. It literally translates to "10,000 years" (as in "May the Emperor reign for..."). Now you know...
• The TV size edit of this song was included as an easter egg on the bonus disc of Kid Rhino's The Original Transformers — First Season Collector's Edition DVD box set.
