Romaji lyrics of Banana no Namida by Tezuka Kunimitsu & Sanada Genichirou + Review

This single marks the first of the 3-part instalment in the Tezuka & Sanada grouping. To be frank, it was rather unexpected for them to release a single together but this is a very pleasant surprise for me. I really hope that they can release more CDs together which may materialise if the 3-part series does well in terms of sales.

I'm still puzzled as to why this song is titled "Banana no Namida" when the lyrics seem to be totally unrelated to bananas. Basically, the song is talking about how hard it is for guys to understand why girls are happy one minute and grouchy the next as well as what they should do to pacify them. It's quite a catchy song and a joy to listen to.

The final track of this single is titled "Arigatou, Tezuka". It's just a short track where Sanada starts off with by screaming "Tezuka" a couple of times before getting to the point of thanking the latter for singing with him. Tezuka replies coolly, saying that he's good at such songs. Not much meaning, I would say but it brings a smile to my face when I hear their voices.

So here it goes, the romaji lyrics are as follows:
