Hey everyone! Did anyone notice the secret messages in Dear Prince ~Tennis no Ouji sama tachi he~? I didn't realize myself until my Japanese friend pointed it out to me.

My friend pointed out the message "Arigato, Tenipuri" and now I've just noticed "arigato, kimi."

As you may know, Konomi sensei wrote the lyrics for this song. I've romanized them here if you need them. Anyway, the messages use the first syllable of certain verses to make words.

Starting with the first one:
Dear Prince   ai ni yuku yo   Dear Prince   riyuu wa iranai
Dear Prince   ganbatteru   Dear Prince   tokoro ga daisuki sa
Kimi ga kateru made   mitete ageru kara

This reads "arigato, kimi," which means "thank you, you [the fans]."

Then the two choruses both read "arigato, Tenipuri (Thank you, Tenipuri)."
Get ready   ai ni yuku yo   Get ready   riyuu wa iranai
Get ready   ganbatteru   Get ready   tokoro ga daisuki sa
Ready, go!   te wo tsunagou   Ready, go!   nigegoshi na kimi he no
Ready, go!   PUREZENTO dakara   Ready, go!   rippa ni yareru sa

and
Get ready   asu no tame ni   Get ready   RISUKU wa shouchi sa
Get ready   gaman dekiru kana   Get ready   totemo tsurai keredo
Ready, go!   TENISU BO-RU   Ready, go!   nigirishimeta
Ready, go!   PURESSHA- no naka   Ready, go!   RIMITTO wo koeyou

I thought it was really cool how Konomi sensei put these messages into the lyrics. You can really tell how much love he has for this series. And I love love love LOVE this song! I can't wait to see it sung at the 100 Song Marathon when the DVD comes out.

Is that the song from the ending?

I didn't know about the hidden message.

After reading your post, I suddenly had the urge to cry just to release something in my heart. And it doesn't help that I am currently playing Tenipuri songs. Now, I am officially missing the whole series!

Cute!

The 100 Marathon version is ... so different, and so much more, given all 33 seiyuu + Konomi were singing it (though it did start out with just Suwabe, Minagawa and Okiayu singing).
