Wooden pieces on a board of fate
Eighty-one squares, where legends are made
King and rook, bishop and knight
In this ancient game, we'll fight
Shogi, shogi, the battle of minds
Strategy and patience intertwined
Promoted pawns, they rise and fall
In this wooden war, we give our all
Silver general guards the flank
Gold general, of highest rank
Lance charges forward, straight and true
Bishop's diagonal cuts right through
Captured pieces turn the tide
Now they fight on our side
Drop them wisely, change the game
Victory's glory is our aim
Castles built and torn apart
Yagura defense, a work of art
Climbing silver, swift and bold
Ranging rook, what moves you'll hold?
Shogi, shogi, the battle of minds
Strategy and patience intertwined
Promoted pawns, they rise and fall
In this wooden war, we give our all
Check and mate, the king is crowned
Silent victory, not a sound
Bow to your opponent, honor bound
In shogi's world, respect is found
Shogi, shogi, the battle of minds
Strategy and patience intertwined
Promoted pawns, they rise and fall
In this wooden war, we give our all
