GENTO (with Kento Nakajima) (English translation)

"GENTO" is a confident, hungry song about refusing to settle for the ordinary and digging deeper until you find something valuable. The singers present themselves as people who work hard, stay true to who they are, and do not care about fake image or empty talk. The opening verse mixes boasting with self-awareness: they reject mediocrity, mock the idea that appearances define them, and make clear that the glamour of a movie is not their real life.

The mood moves from playful swagger to fierce determination. The pre-chorus warns of danger and haters, while the chorus repeats the central image of digging for gold, meaning sustained effort and the hope that hard work will be rewarded. The Japanese verse brings in charm and bold showmanship, and the third verse adds the discipline of a long-term work ethic, comparing the singer to Kobe Bryant's relentless mentality. The bridge and outro intensify the message, urging the listener to keep scratching at the ground even until it hurts.

The key images are the digging, the gold, and the "gento" itself, which works as a call to dig and persist rather than give up. The recurring line about being unable to find a gento easily suggests that real success is rare and must be earned through persistence and self-belief.
