In [animesonglyrics](https://www.animesonglyrics.com/gotoubun-no-
hanayome/gotoubun-no-kimochi), you can see in the season 1 opening (Gotoubun
no Kimochi) for the anime adaptation of [The Quintessential
Quintuplets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quintessential_Quintuplets)

  1. the Romaji: Go-tōbundesu, demo (...) --> the Kanji of which I think is: 五等分です, でも (...)
  2. the English: It reaches, but (...)
  3. the Kanji: 届くんです, でも (...) --> the Romaji of which I think is: Todokundesu, demo (...)

It seems the English and the Kanji match, but they are both different from the
romaji.

Now, in a live performance [here](https://youtu.be/_g7geUDY1ts?t=69), you can
see the actress/singer Inori Minase holds up 5 fingers when singing this line,

  1. I guess the Romaji is correct, while the English and Kanji are wrong?

  2. But it's a mondegreen, i.e. it's understandable to mishear Go-tōbun (五等分) as 届く (Todoku)?

music japanese-language culture theme-song the-quintessential-quintuplets
The Quintessential Quintuplets (aka 五等分の花嫁) : Is 届くんです (it reaches) a mondegreen that should be 五等分です (It's divided into five equal parts)?


**The original lyric doesn't mention _todoku_ at all.**

Here is a part of [the lyric listed on
Joysound](https://www.joysound.com/web/search/song/727383) (one of, if not,
the most popular karaoke services in Japan),

[The Wiki

got it right.
