Japanese Lyrics
 ごはんはすごいよ　なんでも合うよ　ホカホカ ラーメン　うどんに　お好み焼き これこれ 炭水化物と炭水化物の 夢のコラボレーション☆ （アツアツ　ホカホカ）

ごはんはすごいよ　ないと困るよ むしろごはんがおかずだよ 関西人ならやっぱりお好み焼き＆ごはん

でも私　関西人じゃないんです （どないやねん！） １・２・３・４・GO・HA・N！ １・２・３・４・GO・HA・N！

ごはんはすごいよ　なんでも合うよ　ホカホカ キムチに　納豆　なまたまご　これこれ 白いご飯は真っ白いキャンバス 無限イマジネーション （アツアツ　ホカホカ）

ごはんはすごいよ　ないと困るよ やっぱりごはんは主食だね 日本人ならとにかくパン食よりごはんでしょ

『ごはんはおかずじゃないのかよ！』 『あ．．．わすれてたー』 『こらー！！』

ごはんはすごいよ　なんでも合うよ　ホカホカ 焼きそば　たこ焼き　とんぺい焼き　これこれ 炭水化物と炭水化物の 夢のコラボレーション☆ （アツアツ　ホカホカ　いっちゃえ　いっちゃえ）

ごはんはすごいよ　ないと困るよ むしろごはんがおかずだよ 関西人ならやっぱりお好み焼き＆ごはん

Rice is amazing, I'll eat anything steaming hot Fermented cabbage and soybeans, raw egg, this and that White rice is a pure, snowy white canvas A fantasy imagination (Hot, hot, steaming hot!)

Rice is amazing, it's a problem if I don't have it Rice is a staple food, after all If you're from Japan, it's all about rice over bread

"Rice isn't a side dish, you know!" "Oh... I forgot." "HEY!"

Rice is amazing, I'll eat anything steaming hot! Fried noodles, octopus balls, pork wrapped in egg, this and that Carbohydrates, carbohydrates A dreamy collaboration (Hot, hot, steaming hot! Let's go, let's go!)
