File:Kirby Memorial Arrangements The Apple Juice Song - JOYSOUND Karaoke Version (English Subs)

Description
(Note: This is an unofficial fan translation, I myself only created the English translation, as well as the English and Romaji subtitles in this video. The video itself was made by Nintendo, HAL Laboratory, and Xing Inc.)

In 2017, the "Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert CD" was released, which featured a second disk called "Kirby Memorial Arrangements". Out of the 12 tracks on that disk, 3 were actually vocal arrangements of past Kirby songs, featuring never before heard lyrics for these tunes.

These 3 tracks also ended up being featured in titles of the "Karaoke JOYSOUND" franchise, were they received karaoke music videos to go along with the songs.

This track right here is number 7 on the Memorial Arrangements CD, "The Apple Juice Song" ("リンゴジュースのうた")

It's a vocal arrangement of the BGM of the "Apple Scramble" mode from Kirby Battle Royale.

The song is sung by Miho Tsujibayashi, but from an in-universe perspective it's quite clearly meant to be "sung" by Bandana Waddle Dee.

On the official Japanese websites, this track's description is as follows: "A vocal arrangement of a stage BGM from 'Kirby Battle Royale'. A song which expresses the feelings of a brave Waddle Dee, who wishes to become strong like Kirby."

Translation Notes:

This song's lyrics are pretty simple and straight-forward, being more on the child-like side, so there is not much to say here.

One small thing though, in the line "One day I wanna get popular, too!", the word I translated as "popular" is モテモテ/motemote, which usually refers to popularity specifically in the "being considered attractive" sense. But not in an overly adult way, this is still something kids can say.

Translated Lyrics:

Apple Juice Making lots of it

Freshly-picked Apples There's so many of them

Take the ingredients, Mix and mash them all

Apples and Lemons Honey and Protein

If I drink this everyday, I'll get strong, too

Ah, one day I wanna... Get buff, too!

Apple Juice Drinking it with gusto

Getting so strong that... I won't lose to that kid!

Serious battles, Playing with everyone,

With the training I've had, I'm a bit different

The secrets to victory I'll take them to heart

Skill and Power, Experience and Warrior Training

If I can beat that kid with this, I'll have matured, too!

Ah, one day I wanna... Get popular, too!

Apple Juice Drinking some with everyone

Polishing our skills together... and getting strong!

Apple Juice With free refills!

Getting along, keeping up the battles... And getting strong!
