as you’ve probably realised by now, i’m quite a big teen titans fan. and i’ve been watching the series lately and its hard not to notice that in random episodes, the theme song is sung in japanese instead of the usual english. now, i thought nothing of this at first. i mean why would you? japanese themed show, comic book characters, makes sense to have a japanese theme too right?

but then i looked up the translation. now here was silly old me just assuming the japanese version was the same as the english version, just in japanese. i could not have been more wrong!!  please watch the video above and you will see the english and japanese versions with the english lyrics of both. the japanese lyrics are ridiculous! and hilarious. my personal fave line is “i will eat everything without likes or dislikes”. (maybe because it reminds me of the episode where cyborg gets a virus and calls the rest of the team “the nasty eggs who stole his waffles”. you kinda need to see the episode for that to make sense).

so anyhow, here’s me thinking “ok, crazy lyrics, kids tv show, thats alright”. but then i was reading through the comments thinking, “hmmm, maybe they’re just fake lyrics”, when someone mentioned that they used these joke lyrics whenever they had a completely random or insane or crazy or weird episode. so, of course, i tested this theory out.

and i got every single guess (ok, except 1) right! every single insane or weird episode starts with the japanese title sequence and every normal episode starts with the english title sequence. who would of thought that so much hidden stuff would be in a simple kids tv show? ah, the things you learn.
