Susume! Otowa Shoujotai

'''Susume! Otowa Shoujotai' (ススメ！音羽少女隊), roughly translated as "Forward, Otowa Girl Squad!", is one of the songs performed by Japanese voice actor unit Earphones for their first original album, MIRACLE MYSTERY TOUR''. Members of the unit are Marika Kounou, Rie Takahashi, and Yuki Nagaku.

The song is used in the unit's promotional collaboration with Nobunyaga no Yabou and Guruguru Dungeon Nobunyaga. Both games include a chance to listen to a short clip of the song in-game and limited time events to earn a treasure kitty version of the unit. Nobunyaga no Yabou hosted another limited time event for players to support the member of their choice and earn another card themed to the unit. Purchase the Weekly Famitsu March 3 issue for codes featuring individual versions of the kitty Earphone members.

Oda Nobunyaga and Date Masiamune appeared on stage with the unit at Earphones vs Aice⁵ ~Sore ga Unit!~. Nobuhisa Hiroshige, the games' producer, appeared as a guest in the seventh episode of the unit's web radio program ''[http://www.onsen.ag/program/sorega/?sorega/ Sore ga Seiyu! Presents WEB Radio]''.

Lyrics
Kanji=
 * たとえ闇の中でも　絶望など持ち合わせてない
 * 青春(いのち)賭けて迷わず進め　三人ならどこまでも
 * 暗転する小石川　対戦車砲が鳴り響
 * 行くかとるか　何を今さら　乙女がすたります


 * 桜ひらひら舞って
 * 江戸川橋も染まって　緞帳が降りる


 * 今艶やかに咲
 * ススメ！！！　音羽少女隊
 * 羽ばたいて魅せます　勇気の翼広げ
 * 今麗しき空に
 * 翔(カケ)ル！！！　音羽少女隊
 * どんなに困難でも　清く正しくあれ！　敬礼！！


 * 場当たりで体当たり　危険回避を予測する
 * 私たちはまだ夢の途中　真撃に臨みます


 * ゆらゆら陽炎　見つめ
 * 満身創痍でも行かねば　奈落に落ちてく


 * 今鮮やかに咲く
 * ススメ！！！　音羽少女隊
 * 美しく　さりげなく　勝ち取ってみせるから
 * 今確かなる希望
 * 我(ワレ)ラ！！！　音羽少女隊
 * どんなに形勢不利も　清く正しくあれ！　敬礼！！


 * 一か八かの運命線
 * 士気が前向きすぐ　感染
 * 魂の叫びに　捧げる人生


 * 今　風穴を開ける
 * 護国抜けた少女隊
 * 気高い心意気で　夜明まであと少し


 * 今艶やかに咲く
 * ススメ！！！　音羽少女隊
 * 羽ばたいて魅せます　勇気の翼広げ
 * 今麗しき空に
 * 翔(カケ)ル！！！　音羽少女隊
 * どんなに困難でも　清く正しくあれ！　敬礼！！

 * Rolling flames dance in our eyes
 * Our bodies are battered, but we won't stop our descent into the abyss


 * We're in radiant bloom
 * Advance, Otowa Girl Squad!!!
 * We'll claim victory fabulously, like it was nothing at all
 * Our hopes will become a reality
 * We are the Otowa Girl Squad!!!
 * We work fairly and cleanly, no matter what the odds! Attention!!
