Hohoemi no Bakudan
Yu Yu Hakusho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

都会(まち)の人ごみ 肩がぶつかって ひとりぼっち
果てない草原 風がビュビュンと ひとりぼっち
どっちだろう 泣きたくなる場所は
2つマルをつけて ちょっぴりオトナさ

メチャメチャ苦しい壁だって ふいに なぜか
ぶち壊す 勇気とパワー 湧いてくるのは
メチャメチャきびしい人達が ふいに 見せた
やさしさの せいだったり するんだろうね

ア・リ・ガ・ト・ウ・ゴ・ザ・イ・ます!

今まで何回 ヨロシクと元気に 叫んだだろう
今まで何回 サヨナラと泣いて 別れただろう
どっちだろう 比べて多い数は
中にイコール書いて ちょっぴりオトナさ

メチャメチャ悲しいときだって ふいに なぜか
乗り越える 勇気とパワー 湧いてくるのは
メチャメチャやさしい人達が ふいに 見せた
きびしさの せいだったり するんだろうね

ア・リ・ガ・ト・ウ・ゴ・ザ・イ・ます!

メチャメチャ苦しい壁だって ふいに なぜか
ぶち壊す 勇気とパワー 湧いてくるのは
メチャメチャきびしい人達が ふいに 見せた
やさしさの せいだったり するんだろうね

メチャメチャ楽しいときだって 忘れないよ
いつまでも 勇気とパワー なくさないよ
メチャメチャひとりぼっちの人に あげる
唇の 裏側に 隠してある





ホ・ホ・エ・ミ・ノ・バ・ク・ダン!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hohoemi no Bakudan, the opening theme song of the anime Yu Yu Hakusho, talk about the struggles of loneliness and the feeling of being lost in the middle of a crowded city. The song starts with the description of the hustle and bustle of people in the city, where the singer feels alone even though he is surrounded by others. The next verse then describes the vastness of an open field, where the singer is once again alone and feels lost. The chorus talks about how the singer finds the courage and power to break through difficult situations, and how the kindness shown by others can often help him overcome his struggles.


The lyrics then come full circle, comparing the number of times the singer has said goodbye and hello to others, indicating that everyone goes through hardships and struggles with loneliness. The second chorus is similar to the first, emphasizing the importance of courage and kindness in overcoming difficult times. The final verse is more upbeat, with the singer stating that he will never forget the fun and happy times, and that he will keep the courage and power he has gained through his struggles. The song ends with the title, Hohoemi no Bakudan, translating to "Smile Bomb," possibly referencing the power of a smile to uplift and energize oneself and others.

Brushing against the shoulders of the people in the city, I’m alone
The wind sweeping across the endless grass fields, I’m alone
I wonder which of the two is the place I’d want to cry?
Drawing two circles, I feel a little grown up!

Suddenly, a surge of courage and power
Destroys the incredibly oppressive wall
I wonder if it was a result of the stern people
Suddenly displaying kindness

Thank you very much!

Machi no hitogomi kata ga butsukatte hitoribocchi
Hatenai sougen kaze ga byunbyun to hitoribocchi
Docchi darou nakitakunaru basho wa
Futatsu maru wo tsukete choppiri otona sa

Mechamecha kurushii kabe datte fui ni naze ka
Buchikowasu yuuki to POWER waite kuru no wa
Mechamecha kibishii hito-tachi ga fui ni miseta
Yasashisa no sei dattari surun darou ne
A - ri - ga - to - u - go - za - i - masu !
