"I'm Ready", alternatively "Ready to Love", is a song in Death Note: The Musical. It is Misa Amane's introductory song.
Overview[]
When Light Yagami and Sayu Yagami attend Misa Amane's concert, Misa sings this song. Just before the song, Misa begins by thanking her "beloved hero" Kira. Light brings this up to Sayu after the performance, saying that he liked that part, but Sayu expresses her disagreement with her own song "We All Need a Hero".
During the performance of Misa's song, Ryuk dances around on stage along with Misa and her dancers. Immediately after the performance, he continues dancing and sings a few lines of the song, although he's quickly tired out, saying that Misa is full of energy.
The song is referenced two other times in the Musical. The first time is before the actual performance; when Sayu asks Light if he'll attend the concert with her and he agrees, she leaves the room singing a couple of lines to herself. The song is referenced again after L and Light have their tennis match, just after Misa and L meet; when Light calls Misa to try to get L's real name, Misa's cell phone's ringtone is an 8-bit version of this song.
English version[]
The song was originally written in English, but an English-language version has not been released. The original English title of the song is "I'm Ready".[1]
On October 15, 2017, script-writer Ivan Menchell shared the English lyrics when fans asked him on Twitter.[2]
English lyrics
Well, they say I'm too young
And they call me a fool
Who can't possibly know my own heart
So they tell me to wait
'Til I'm finished with school
But right now is when love wants to start
And the world may be cold
And the world may be cruel
But this world is all that I've got
So what I'm dreaming of
Is somebody to love
Hope you're ready, 'cause I'm ready
Ready or not
Because life is too short
And the road is too long
To believe you can walk it alone
But together we might
Find a place to belong
Where together we'll face the unknown
If you're ever afraid
You can just lean on me
And become all the things that you're not
Let me kiss you, and then
Let me kiss you again
If you're ready, 'cause I'm ready
Ready or not
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
And I hope that you're ready, too
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
'Cause I feel like I'm falling with you
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
And I hope that you're ready, too
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
Baby, ready or not, I'm in love with you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(rap/dance break)
I don't care where we go
I don't care what we do
I don't care what the world has to say
'Cause the world doesn't know
What I feel about you
And that feeling just grows every day
If it's right or it's wrong
Only love sees you through
And love's really all that we've got
Close your eyes, baby, then
Let me kiss you again
Hope you're ready, 'cause I'm ready
Ready or not
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
And I hope that you're ready, too
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
'Cause I feel like I'm falling with you
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
And I hope that you're ready, too
I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready!
Baby, ready or not, I'm in love with you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(rap/dance break)
Japanese version[]
若すぎると皆言うの
自分を見失うなと
卒業まで 待てだなんて
もう胸が張り裂けそう
世界中を敵にしても
貴方さえいるなら
怖くないわ どんな事も
覚悟は出来てる
いいでしょう
どこにいても不安だった
迷子の子猫みたいに
でも感じる 貴方となら
ここが私の場所なの
果てない道 遠い未来
平気よ二人なら
全て捨てて走り出すの
覚悟は出来てる
いいでしょう
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
貴方もそうでしょう?
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
恋の渦の中へ
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
愛に溺れましょう
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
さあ覚悟を決めて
今
(rap/dance break)
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
貴方もそうでしょう?
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
恋の渦の中へ
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
愛に溺れましょう
I'm ready, yes I'm ready
さあ覚悟を決めて
もう止まらない
覚悟を決めて今
もう止まらない
覚悟を決めて今
