Hi let's just take Elvis and Jpopize it without really saying so. xD
(serious note: Freaking amazing, holy crap the girls' voices just get better and better *^*)

So good. I never realized Chisaki was that good @_@. This song is so suited towards Chisaki and Funaki's voices, but it suits everyone else's as well.

^ Thank you! I barely missed The Girls Live last night but hoping to catch the re-run in a few days on BS Japan!

Anyway, here's my attempt at transcribing and translating "Dou datte ii no?" (finished just before The Girls Live though)

JAPANESE:

Baby don't you think...

[Oz] Chu Chu Chu Chu

ENGLISH:

Baby don't you think...

[Oz] Chu Chu Chu Chu
Shouldn't I do it how I want to?
I just don't care about the world anymore
[Ch] What matters is whether [Fu] I am HAPPY
And as for all of the other bothersome stories, well
What should I do??
What should I do??
I want to live honestly
All the things that bore me, what should I do?
Shouldn't I say it the way I want to?
I've run out of patience and restraint
[Ts] Everyone has [Yan] their own views so
the more I want to dance to my own steps
What should I do??
What should I do??
I prefer the things that can turn quite hot
But, ceremonious things, what should I do??
Wao! ＼(^o^)／
Go go!!!
Well you've got to think even bigger
Cause this is the only life you'll live
[Oz] That's why you've got to　[Yam] face it all
Though it's impossible to not have any worries, but well
What should I do??
What should I do??
I don't have time to do things I regret
Things that work out no matter what, what should I do??
[Oz] Something that you really need
[Ts] Hold on to it as tightly as you can
[Yan] Even though you brought it and it doesn't make sense
[Ch] Make sure you keep it with you, don't you let it go
[Yam] Don't let anything make you hesitate
[Fu] GO for it without letting yourself waste a breath!
Changes in fashion and such, what should I do??
Everybody!
Wooooo!!!
Go go!!!
Woo!!!
Come on!
What should I do?? What should I do??
[Yam] I want to live honestly
All the things that bore me, what should I do?
AAAAHHHHHH
Everybody one time!
What should I do?? What should I do??
What should I do?? [Fu] What should I do??
I prefer the things that can turn quite hot
Things that work out no matter what, what should I do??
What should I do??
Thank you!!!
[Oz] Thank you!!!
[Oz] All fans!!!

Dou datte ii no = Nothing else matters/It doesn't matter
It's not a question.

Thanks for that, promptly correcting all translations before putting up video/submitting to Project Hello

So the reason I have the thread title as "Doo" rather than "Dou" is because it's どー instead of どう. I've always Romanised ー vowel sounds as two of the same vowel rather than "ou" or whatever else. If mostly because it denotes some kind of difference. I know どう is a word, and どうだっていいの is a phrase, but because the title has "どー" in it instead of what it usually is, that's what I went with, if that makes sense.

If it's wrong, my bad. I was just trying to reflect the nuance somehow.

But like, you wouldn't Romanise よーい as "youi", you'd Romanise it as "yooi", so why is this any different?
