I was really itching to do the translation for DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- since it's without any doubt my favorite song from DELIGHTED REVIVER and is living constantly rent free in my mind. So thank you for making it come 2nd in my translation poll a while back and giving me a legit excuse to dig into it!
It's pretty different from other Nana songs with even a bit of a Latin vibe to it, which definitely played a part in reeling me in so hard since I've always been a fan of Shakira as well and as her songs are typically very sensual I kind of got possessed into make the translation for DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- as sexy as I possibly could.
Also! While working on this I became aware of Shihori-san (who wrote the lyrics) having an English Twitter account so I followed her and this happened!
Ohhh thank you!!!I can’t wait to see your translation😻❤️❤️✨✨— SHIHORI (@shihoriNY) September 3, 2022
Thank you so much! I hope you approve of my translation choices. m(_ _)m

Translation note:
I decided to use sobriety for 正気 just to keep with the theme of being out drinking, but the nuance is more of being clear-headed in general, rather than "not being drunk" specifically.
