Out of a mix of nostalgia and curiosity (since I watched _Macron 1_ as a kid),
I started watching the ye olde _GoShogun_ anime on Amazon, which I _think_
uses Discotek's localization. The subtitles for the first two lyrics of the
opening song (after the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0" countdown) seem odd though:

> Do you know the red button? Do you know the blue button?

Is that really what the song says?

FWIW, here's the Romaji of those lyrics according to <https://www.virtual-
rotation.com/chirlind/others/sentai/goshou.html>:

> Akai botan wo shitteru ka? Aoi botan wo shitteru ka?

question
japanese-language theme-song goshogun
Is the GoShogun OP being translated correctly?


**Yes, the English translation is correct.**

For comparison, here is the lyric in Japanese:

> (5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0!)
>
> 赤いボタンを 知ってるか  
>  青いボタンを 知ってるか  
>  [...]

Lyrics taken from [Uta-Net+](https://www.uta-net.com/movie/14189/eDbcoNkj3Jc/)
(Japanese)

Which does translate to

> (5! 4! 3! 3! 2! 1! 0!)
>
> Do you know the red button?  
>  Do you know the blue button?  
>  [...]
