ステップアップ進化論 – Step Up Shinkaron
Step-Up Evolutionary Theory
| They say it’ll be cloudy — then it depends on locality — which is reality? For today, I’ll predict today’s weather As I set up my schedule in high spirits Even for the gloomy tasks, I’ll fire myself up like it’s another level-up mission and move a step forward |
| Making every day special like this, little by little These experiences I’ve built up won’t betray me |
| Step-up, steadily — a positive evolutionary theory ☆ Haste makes waste, they say, and it’s so frustrating It’s sadly true that you have to take it slow sometimes (But) Hearing you say ‘love’ to me is the strongest seal of approval1 So I’ll hold my head high and march down this path |
| How’s the weather like in your town? For today, I’m sending a bolt of energy your way, made for today In hopes that you don’t feel lonely until we can meet again For today as well, the one in charge of your smiles — will be me, eager to be that candidate |
| At some point unknown, I became someone who never gives up no matter the tumbles2 Maybe it’s thanks to the “it’ll all be okay” I’ve built up |
| Step-up, making my very own self-made evolutionary theory ☆ My unflinching heart grows in rapid speed Whenever I get to feel just how much I’ve grown (More) My feelings of love toward you act as my strongest good-luck charm To let my greedy aspirations grow more and more3 |
| Popping up in each other’s minds — it’s almost like mutual love Those clear words of “love”, “love you”, I’ll make sure to convey them |
| Step-up, steadily — a positive evolutionary theory ☆ With my unflinching heart, I make my own steps If I step forward, the forecast will be filled with sunny symbols Hearing you say ‘love’ to me is the strongest seal of approval1 So I’ll hold my head high and march down this path |
| Step-by-step, I want to step-up through this evolutionary theory with you Step-by-step, let’s step-up until we’ve reached our evolved form! |

Translation Notes
(1.) This song is associated with Shinobu’s Bright Me Up!! Scout: Turn Crisis Into Opportunity. It is recommended to read the story and Shinobu’s card & outfit details!
(2.) Shinobu doesn’t use his typical ninja-like speech quirk ending de-gozaru in his third solo. This is unlike his first solo, Shippuu Jinrai Shinobi Michi, which contained lyrics where he sings in his usual speech quirk. In stories, when Shinobu doesn’t speak with de-gozaru, it typically relates to his non-ninja, boku self (typical first-person pronoun for a boy).
See also:
- Shinobu’s FS1 story for a brief look into this part of Shinobu.
- Shinobu’s 2nd solo, Seisei Doudou Ouenka!, which also doesn’t contain typical ninja speech.
- ↑ He also says “seal of approval” in the story associated with this song, Turn Crisis Into Opportunity.
- ↑ Shinobu uses the first-person pronoun boku here. This is unlike his first solo, where he only uses the ninja-like first-person pronoun sessha. Also, the “no matter the tumbles” is mentioned in the outfit description associated with his solo. Please check the translation notes for more information!
- ↑ The word used for aspiration is 向上心, which is usually related to aspirations to improve oneself and grow more.
