Verse 1日本語
ネオン雪が降る 真夜中の平原エミリー黒い革で 雨に抗う北海道の風が 傷ついた神のように吠える銀の弾丸を持ち 鋼の心を抱くタヌキカウボーイが笑う ウィスキー口に変幻の影 昇る太陽の下ステットソンのトリックスター 燃える石炭の目帽子を傾け言う 「魂を集めに行こう」
Verse 1EN
Neon snow is falling on the midnight plainEmily rides in black, leather against the rainHokkaido wind is howling like a wounded godShe’s got a silver bullet and a heart of steelThe tanuki cowboy laughs with whiskey on his tongueShape-shifting shadow underneath the rising sunTrickster in a Stetson, eyes like glowing coalHe tips his hat and says, “Let’s go collect some souls”
Pre‑ChorusEN
Out here the law is broken, the weak get torn apartBut justice wears a different face when it’s got a tanuki heart
Chorus日本語
タヌキサンダー 夜を駆け抜けるエミリーと無法者 闇に光を塗るタヌキサンダーサルーンで罪を隠す二つの影が正義を 北の荒野に
ChorusEN
Tanuki Thunder, rolling through the nightEmily and the outlaw, painting the dark with lightIn the Tanuki Thunder Saloon we hide our sinsTwo shadows bringing justice where the wild north begins[Verse 2] (English)They say the yakuza own the ice and own the fearBut Emily’s got a revolver and a mission crystal clearThe tanuki flips a coin that turns into a flameOne moment he’s a lover, next moment he’s a plagueThey ride through frozen forests where the demons make their bedLeave a trail of broken men and karma painted redAt the end of every showdown, when the last man hits the floorThey drag their weary bodies back to that swinging door
Chorus日本語
タヌキサンダー 夜を駆け抜けるエミリーと無法者 闇に光を塗るタヌキサンダーサルーンで罪を隠す二つの影が正義を 北の荒野に
ChorusEN
Tanuki Thunder, rolling through the nightEmily and the outlaw, painting the dark with lightIn the Tanuki Thunder Saloon we hide our sinsTwo shadows bringing justice where the wild north begins
BridgeEN
Spoken/sung low, icy synthsThe lights are low… the sake flows…Piano man plays minor keys…She leans on him, he grins at her…“Another round for the damned,” he says
Final ChorusEN
Tanuki Thunder, hear the spirits screamLove and vengeance dancing in a synthetic dreamWhen the snow buries everything that we have doneWe’ll still be here together when the morning never comesTanuki Thunder…Tanuki Thunder…
