Pokémon Puppet Theater introduces Kana Hanazawa as a melancholy Shellder

In the 12th installment of Pokémon Puppet Theater, Japanese voice actress Kana Hanazawa steps into the role of a lonely Shellder to sing a mournful ballad about love and longing – specifically longing to bite the tail of a Slowpoke and evolve into a Slowbro. You can check out the latest episode in the video below:

The song featured in the episode is entitled “Amai Yuuwaku” (“Sweet Seducer”), and the lyrics translate to as follows:

Lured by a sweet seducer,
That child changed into a Slowbro

Lured by a sweet seducer,
That one, also, changed into a Slowking

Even though they promised they would never change
Everyone bit Slowpoke’s tail

“It’s sweet and tasty”, everyone says
But somehow a little scary, Slowpoke’s tail

Maybe I won’t be able to exist on my own anymore,
Maybe I won’t be able to be separated from him anymore

But I want to bite it, Slowpoke’s tail
Slowpoke’s tail
