Translations: 3倍!Sun Shine!カーニバル！ by Sanbaka
In SMASH The PAINT!! album from Nijisanji, there is a Sanbaka original song, 3倍!Sun Shine!カーニバル！(Three fold! Sunshine! Carnival!). I attempted to translate it while also giving my own take/explanations breaking down the hints of how Sanbaka the song is. You can find the song on both Youtube and Spotify legally. For Japanese lyrics, you can refer to other sites such as this as I only provide romaji and translations, colorcoded (along with the breaking down).
The song itself is very bright and festive. The title, 3倍!Sun Shine!カーニバル！ (three fold! Sunshine! Carnival!), and carnival-y festive melody refer to the name of their unit, さんばかーにばる (Samba Carnival). Yes, although an obvious intended pun to 三馬鹿 (Three Idiots), Sanbaka さんばか is not "Three idiots" but is an abbreviation of Samba Carnival さんばかーにばる. Ange specifically said Sanbaka should be written in Hiragana, to differentiate itself with an already existing unit (A unit named Sanbaka as Three Idiots/Three Stooges, written in kanji 三馬鹿, is a unit consist of Nijisanji ex-2nd generation, Yuuhi Riri, Fushimi Gaku, and Kenmochi Touya, which later renamed into Trigger トリガー). Inui said the name Samba Carnival has positive tone, meaning whenever it is the three of them together it will be bright and fun, just like carnival. For the stream of when they decided the name, you can refer to this stream.
Romaji lyrics (color coded)
*Inui's color is actually maroon but because it seems to be hard to discern from Ange's red, I changed it to green, her favorite color

Breakdown
Ange there↑↓！ Inui here↑↓！ Lize Birdie↓↗↓！
This line was born from Inui's zatsudan (free talk stream) when a comment went "Ange soko! Inui koko!" and when Inui said it, she thought she needed to add something for Lize, which she went "Ange soko! Inui koko! Lize Hiyoko!". Hiyoko means baby bird, which also refer to Lize's image that is full of bird references (like her chick butler Sebastian Piyodore, her wing-like hair, her emblem, and so on).
In addition, by this part, I would like you listen carefully in Lize's part. Her way of saying Hiyoko! very 'unique' and it was actually taken not during singing and Inui loved it so much, she said she did not want any other version but that one, and thus it was used. Listeners also note the Hiyoko! part to be 'different', so did other livers, that "Lize Hiyoko!" became quite a trend and meme it itself. Inui said, 'probably Lize herself cannot recreate that exact same "Lize Hiyoko"'
There are so many things we want to talk about, places we want to go to, things we want to make together!
THERE'S SO MANY! 24 hours is not enough!
Ange loves to talk, Lize longs for adventure, Inui who gets lonely easily, loves being together. All three of them also had done 24 hours project in November 22 2019, where they streamed for whole 24 hours with only around 10 to 15 minutes break between streams. It has various content, from playing Super Mario, horror movie watchalong, horror game, cookie baking, even voice drama acting. Even then, all three said they had so much they actually wanted to do and make, so yes, 24 hours are just not enough (but they all said they were dead tired after that and probably will never do it anymore in that style lol).
Being serious
Being too carefree
Being pulled around here and there
This part corresponds to each's personalities. Lize is (almost always haha) being very proper and solemnly, earnestly, facing her every stream. She always planned her stream well. Inui is very carefree, doing things the way she wants to. For example, her streams often starts suddenly, guerilla style, that it is better to have notification on her twitter if you dont want to miss her streams. Ange is a kind pushover who cannot say no, and is very honest and pure she is often being deceived by the others (such as by Lize or Kanae). The easiest to see this three personalities is by watching their Minecraft collaboration streams, where Lize is being the one who remind them what they are supposed to do most of the time, Inui going here and there as she likes, and Ange basically trying to provide for both.
Days when there are nothing
Or days when the weather is bad
We <super transform> it into kind of a good day!
with loads of chatters (Hai hai!) and loads of absurdity (Haihai!)
more, all the time, loads! Let's play!!
"Days when weather is bad" sung by Lize specifically points at how Lize is famous for being 雨女 (Rain lady), or someone who brings rain with her. Because whenever Lize is outside, somehow the weather always turns bad and out of nowhere rain comes. Here, usually Lize would start to groan her signature "Wryyyyy" (ァンデダヨォ！）as per Inui's words. Ange said when she called Lize on phone and she was outside, it was raining in the background, while Inui said when it was raining outside, she messaged Lize asking if she went outside, and usually indeed, Lize was outside.
Sanbaka's chatters streams are always fun and they always do/talk/begin something absurd, which makes everything interesting. Afterall, only sanbaka who can turn a talk of playing badminton into a legend where Lize was born as the land break apart from Inui's badminton serves (if you dont understand, it's okay. Just yes it. This is from Ange and Inui free talk stream)
Just relaxing around, or making up a project, at times just unplanned,
Ange's stream is mostly consist of "free talk stream" where she is just relaxing and talk with her viewers. She can go a full 6 hours of just relax talking.
Lize's stream is always well-planned, even for her free talk stream. She would have a list/or at least a gist/plan of what she want to talk about. She is also usually the one who pull the other two to make a project into fruition, being the one who is the most decisive between them three.
Inui's streams often come out of nowhere and unplanned, as said before. It is haphazard, but even then always properly conducted.
Even if I have a bad sleeping posture, or not bright spirited, it's okay to remain honest as you are!
Ange has said numerous times, her sleeping posture is bad. Her friend even said her sleeptalk sounds like Evangelion's Eva 1 scream (which freaked Ange out, and she went aren't I super bad...?)
Lize's known for being Inkya 陰キャ or super introverted and can be quite gloomly, thus the "not bright spirited" part. Lize said her specialty is to be that transparent person who can somehow walk while avoiding people around her, always calculate how to remain invisible in the crowd, and to detect extroverted loud people within certain radius.
Inui is known to be very honest to herself and others, and always know how to eloquently talk about her intentions without hurting others.
Without embellishment, or pretence
more, all the while, loads more! Let's talk!
All three Sanbaka members are known to stream just as they are. During their talk together, Inui said both Lize and Ange are 'just as is' even off stream. Ange's really just being herself that her brother even able to recognize her voice when he heard her streaming voice off his friend's phone.
ZUNZUNCHI ZUNZUNZUNCHICHI
PIPIPIII PIPIPIPIPI
Call and response hajimaru yo!
This part of the song refers to their "ゴミ音源" or "trash audio file" which they made during their debut stream as 'relay project' when they debuted together as a batch in March 23 2019. This song is also the one they refer to as 'a sanba song' when they coined the name "Samba Carnival". In their debut days, which was done in a relay with the order of Lize > Ange > Inui, they decided to make a song only by their voice, in which Lize then realized it was a stupid project when she did it on stream. In desperation, she then let Sebas did "pipipipii". When Ange received it in her debut, she went 'the f is this' and like why are we even doing this, and added her drumming (?) while crying "I am sorry Inui!!!" before naming it ゴミBGM.wav/trashBGM.wav, sending it to Inui. Inui, in her debut, said I actually don't understand what they are saying about making music but I ok'd it, but what is this... when she got the file, after which she added her lyrics, "welcome home, Ange, to your re-imprisonment" (Ange's first video uploaded on her twitter was her getting imprisoned for human transmutation, which you can see here ). The "Call and response hajimaru yo" part is sung in the same note as the one Inui used in the original ゴミBGM.wav. You can listen to TrashBGM.wav in this official Japanese Nijisanji clip.
Liking Inui more and more!
Liking Lize more and more!
Liking Ange more and more!
YES WE ARE SAMBA CARNIVAL!
Liking Inui more and more or いぬいどんどん好きになる (Inui dondon suki ni naru) is Inui's catchphrase. It was born when Lize talked about Inui in her debut stream, when she introduced her two other batch members. She said Inui is such a good girl and she and Ange loved Inui so much that whenever Inui said anything, they would say いぬいどんどん好きになる, or loving Inui more and more, because whatever Inui does makes them liking her more and more. This turned into a catchphrase during Inui's own debut stream and it carried on to become Inui's tag on twitter.
When you're down, or lonely, don't hold back just come here!
No matter when, or where, one, turn into two, then hey, it's three of us!
Ange often talked of her bad luck (like how she forgot her wallet, had her cat puked on her, spilling sake over her keyboard, breaking her newly bought laptop, and so on) and as Lize also confirmed, she often felt really down after her own stream when she evaluated herself and thought she wasn't doing well enough.
Inui gets lonely easily (but ofc Inui said no, she isnt lol) and usually the other two sanbaka would smother her all the time. Inui said, sanbaka isn't the type to 'always be together', but instead their closeness is a very comfortable one in which if any one of them wanted to be together, the others would come together. She said it is 'just right'. You can read more of Inui talking about Sanbaka's relationship with each other in this Excite News interview translations.
Lize is known to reply to messages very fast. Ange consoled to Lize all the time (asking for support or consolation and so on), Lize sending supportive message to Inui before her solo live, and so on. Makaino Lilim said Lize is the number 1 fastest in Nijisanji when it comes to replying to messages (and said others might take even days lol). Sanbaka overall are very supportive of each other. When Ange got her false ban, for example, the first once she contacted was Sanbaka. Lize also asked for Sanbaka's opinion for her costumes and so on. Inui, too, went all bright and smile and when asked "what makes you so happy today?" by the listeners, Inui answered, "I get to listen to my douki (batchmates)'s voices today, it made my day".
Anyway, that's all for the breakdown. I am sure there are probably even more to it than I wrote here. There is also the official preview, where the video featured even more "Sanbaka love" in its details (like their personal colors in each of their lyrics, how the color alternates to the other two's color during the phone scene, how the image went left and right during Ange's 'getting pushed here and there part', and so on). You can view the official preview here
I hope this blog post can give you more information on Sanbaka. Cheers!
