Video and Audio

Due to copyright claims, all posts of Tsurezure Monochrome, regardless if they were from the anime itself or if they were the original full song, were muted on Youtube. However, the audio file for both still exist and can be viewed below, along with the OP itself. (However, it is still muted.)

The opening sequence features many of the characters that appear in Tsuritama doing the Enoshima Dance, a dance which holds a huge part into the series.

Lyrics and Translation

Kanji	他の事なら気にせんが　知らず知らずに待っていた はにかみを残してたの　うれしいのか　悲しいのか 嘘をついたら針千本　誰が飲むかはじゃんけんぽん どれだけの距離なんだろう　程よいが　良くないか なんだか素晴らしい事だってね　モノクロームに映り過ごした昨日の未来は そうだねおとぎ話のようかな　続いてくなら誰といつでも徒然しちゃう？ 遥か彼方まで行きましょう チョコドーナツ気楽にかじりゃ 希望期待持てるでしょ？ あきらめるのはまだ早い 行き詰まった所がほら　それが始まりです 強気な事を言ってんだ　しかし泣き言一転だ 繋がらないこの気分は　結べるか　ほどけるか なんだか恐ろしいほど解けない　パズルみたいだ組んでは壊し繰り返す そうだね胸がチクチクなるさ　神頼みだよほんといつでも徒然しちゃう 遥か彼方はねどこでしょう 退屈な月の裏側　越えたら見えるでしょ？ あきらめるのはまだ早い 行き詰まった所がほら　それが始まりです なんだか素晴らしい事だってね　モノクロームに映り過ごした昨日の未来は そうだねおとぎ話のようかな　続いてくなら誰といつでも徒然しちゃう？ 遥か彼方まで行きましょう チョコドーナツ気楽にかじりゃ 希望期待持てるでしょ？ あきらめるのはまだ早い 行き詰まった所がほら　それが始まりです

English	If I’m mistaken, don’t mind me, but I’ve been waiting unconsciously. I’ve been leaving behind my shyness – am I happy? Or am I sad? Swallow a thousand needles if you lie – we’ll decide who with rock-paper-scissors. What should the distance be? It seems just right, but is it wrong? Somehow, it’s a wonderful thing, the future from the yesterday that played back in monochrome. Yes, perhaps it’s something like a fairy tale. If it goes on, will I just idle with someone anytime? Let’s go into the distance, to the other side. Just chew on a chocolate donut and relax, and you’ll find room for hopes and dreams. It’s still too soon to give up. When you’ve hit a dead end, hey, it’s really the beginning. I’m bluffing, talking as though I’m confident, but it completely turns into a whimper. Can I tie this disconnected feeling together, or will it come apart? Somehow, it’s so hard to solve that it’s frightening. It’s like a puzzle – I bring the pieces together, then break them down and start again. Yes, it prickles at my chest. I’m praying, here – I’m really going to end up idling away. Hey, where exactly is that distant other side? Will we see it if we jump over the boring far side of the moon? It’s still too soon to give up. When you’ve hit a dead end, hey, it’s really the beginning. Somehow, it’s a wonderful thing, the future from the yesterday that played back in monochrome.
