◈Theme Interpretation – A New Start (https://youtu.be/-w3nJ3pTGg8) :
Is there a point to anything? Happiness, sadness, it’s all the same. What’s the point of feeling when we already know it all ends the same way? Sometimes… we just need an escape. Perhaps in another world, we can start over. We can be heroes, adventurers, travellers and seekers, searching for a reason. Let’s leave it all behind.

After the announcement of Isekai Entertainment Chorus Battle, we thought: ‘What better way to embrace the theme than to create an original Anime OP’? We formed Studio REGALAIS, becoming an animation studio to embrace the theme through and through. ‘Sweet Misery’ is our love letter to the isekai genre.

◈Lyrics/Translation:
Sweet memory, misery, chigatteru ka (is it different)?
If we all know, in the end it’s the same

Naze boku ha itsudatte mayotte iru (at a loss)
My mistakes, excuses, holding me down again

“Such a mess, not good enough, you’re hopeless”
Heard it all, those words before, iu dake muda yo (no use saying it now)

If it’ll stay, stay this way, tatakatteru ka (will we still fight)?
Why do we hope, if we know, in the end it’s hopeless
Sweet memory, misery, chigatteru ka (is it different)?
If we all know, in the end, it’s the same

Mou… mou ichido dake (just once more)
Sora wo mitain da.. (I want to see the sky)
Mou ichido… (once more)
Kikai wo kureru ka (can you give me a chance)?

I look in the mirror, a face unfamiliar
I’m hopeless, I’m helpless, demo kawaru no kowai (but I’m afraid of change)

A waste of time, but still I try, a fate I can’t refuse
I know there’s nothing left for me to lose

If it’ll stay, stay this way, tatakatteru ka (will we still fight)?
Why do we hope, if we know, in the end it’s hopeless
Sweet memory, misery, chigatteru ka (is it different)?
If we all know, in the end, it’s the same
