Appare!

Appare! (天晴！) is a Samurai Warriors character image song. It first appeared on the character image vocal CD, Ten - Gouka Ougi, and was later included on Vocal Best.

The song's title often translates to "Well Done!", but it doubles as an archaic expression for inexplicable joy. Specifically, it is used to describe happiness earned after suffering severe grief or hardship. The characters literally translate as "clear heaven" or "clear sky", which is played upon throughout the song's lyrics.

It is the second trio performed by Takeshi Kusao, Masaya Takatsuka, and Eiji Takemoto for their respective characters: Yukimura Sanada, Kanetsugu Naoe and Mitsunari Ishida. When the trio perform the song on stage, they wear T-shirts matching the song's title. Takatsuka wears "ten" (天), Kusao is "hare" (晴), and Takemoto acts as the exclamation point. The shirts additionally act as official recognition of the nickname created by the Japanese fandom, "Righteous Trio" (義トリオ, Gi Trio).

English Translation
Yukimura
 * In the distance
 * of this wide and barren plain
 * there lies thousands of foes before us
 * Now is the time for us to march

Kanetsugu
 * We have nothing to fear
 * as long as we are together
 * Once our indomitable wills unite
 * we are invincible

Mitsunari
 * Today's sky
 * shines with peerless glory
 * It's clear and a deep blue
 * like my heart

Together
 * Let us go!
 * Ah, what bliss!
 * No one in the land can stop us
 * for our victory
 * and for the sake of a new age
 * Ah, now is the time
 * for our dreams
 * to become one
 * as we head towards a peaceful tomorrow

Yukimura
 * The day I doubt myself in the battlefield
 * will be the day I lay in my grave
 * No blade nor spear
 * could hope to outmatch my determination

Kanetsugu
 * The three of us look
 * towards the same sky on which we shared our vow
 * Its colors from that day have not faded
 * for its blue hue is still here

Mitsunari
 * The time is now
 * We won't lose our passion
 * in the midst of turmoil
 * We rush towards an unpredictable tomorrow

Together
 * Let us go!
 * Ah, what elation!
 * We are the best in the land
 * We rush towards
 * the shining land we desire
 * Ah, compared to
 * the day when
 * fate first brought us together
 * our dream is unshakable, and for that we fight


 * Yukimura: Behold the life of a warrior
 * Mitsunari: Observe the land's command
 * Kanetsugu: Watch our love and honor and desires
 * Together: We'll show you the will of all samurai


 * Today's sky
 * shines with utter glory
 * without fault and sheer clarity
 * as though it were our hearts
 * Let us go!


 * Ah, what a feeling!
 * No one in the land can stop us
 * for our victory
 * and for the sake of a new age
 * Ah, now is the time
 * for our dreams
 * to become one
 * as we head towards a peaceful tomorrow
