Mōsō♡Express (もうそう♡えくすぷれす, lit. "Delusion♡Express") is the third opening theme song of Monogatari Series Second Season, played during the Nadeko Medusa story adaptation (Episodes 12 and 14 for the TV broadcast and Episodes 10 and 12 for the disc releases) from Otorimonogatari. It was written by meg rock, composed and arranged by Satoru Kousaki and performed by Kana Hanazawa, who plays the role of Nadeko Sengoku.

Background

In stark contrast to "Renai Circulation", "Mousou Express" symbolizes Nadeko's change in character in the Nadeko Medusa story arc while retaining her cute image. The song's chorus, for example, reflects Nadeko's outlook on the world during the events of Nadeko Medusa: "If the world can’t be the way I want / Then I have no use for it anymore / There’s only one thing I desire / Everything Everything Everything Everything".

The opening credits used for the arc makes several references to the credits for "Renai Circulation", although there are several changes like a dark color scheme instead of the pastel colors of "Renai Circulation", and some scenes in "Renai" played in reverse. where the previously timid Nadeko who was surrounded by pastel colors are now depicted as snatching Koyomi Araragi while the credits use a darker color scheme.

Lyrics

Note: The original lyrics to this song are written completely in hiragana.

いいわけとか　りゆうだとか めんどくさいな うんめいだから しかたがないよね	iiwake to ka riyuu da to ka mendokusai na unmei dakara shikata ga nai yo ne	Excuses and reasons I can't be bothered It's because it's fate there is nothing to do about it
かなわなければ このこいは えいえんに　さめることもないの なにもしらない めをとじて かわいいままで　ほしにねがった	kanawanakereba kono ai wa eien ni sameru koto mo nai no nani mo shiranai me wo tojite kawaii mama de hoshi ni negatta	If it is possible, from this love I don't want to wake up Without knowing anything, closing my eyes To be always cute is what I asked the stars
おもいどおりにならない せかいなら　もういらない ほしいのは　ひとつだけ ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ	omoidoori ni naranai sekai nara mou iranai hoshii no wa hitotsu dake zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	Nothing goes the way I want I don't need anything from the world There's only one thing I want and that is: Everything Everything Everything Everything
おもいどおりにならない せかいとか　ありえない ほしいのは　ひとつだけ ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ	omoidoori ni naranai sekai to ka arienai hoshii no wa hitotsu dake zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	Nothing goes the way I want It's impossible for this world There's only one thing I want and that is: Everything Everything Everything Everything

It's a waste to give up that easily.
