Background

In regards to the creation of the song, Kikkawa wrote the song with his character in mind, having read the script for the film and began writing lyrics as if it was Sokichi himself who wrote them. To Kikkawa, this song was written as a message to Shotaro and Philip, telling them that "if [they] believe in [themselves] and move forward, [they'll] be fine."

半熟のお前にゃまだ早いだろう Hard-boiled（固ゆで）になるんだ 撃たれる覚悟　あるヤツだけに 宿る　戦士のライセンス おまえには　夢を掴み取る 勇気と力がある 俺だけが　それを知っているぜ 誇りが似合う 男になれ 見栄は切るもの、張るもんじゃないぜ もう少し黙ってろ ハードでなけりゃ生きていけない ジェントルでなけりゃ意味ない 死に場所は　生きる場所にこそ あると気づけばいい おまえにも　いつか分かるだろう 帽子が似合う 男になれ おまえには　夢を掴み取る 勇気と力がある 俺だけが　それを知っているぜ 誇りが似合う 男になれ	Hanjuku no omae nya mada hayai darou Katayude ni narun da uta reru kakugo aru yatsu dake ni yadoru senshi no raisensu omae ni ha yume wo tsukami toru yuuki to chikara ga aru ore dake ga sore wo shitsu te iru ze hokori ga niau otoko ni nare mie ha kiru mono, haru mon ja nai ze mousukoshi damatsu tero hado de nakerya iki te ike nai ji entorudenakerya imi nai shinibasho ha ikiru basho ni koso aru to kizuke ba ii omae ni mo itsuka wakaru darou boushi ga niau otoko ni nare omae ni ha yume wo tsukami toru yuuki to chikara ga aru ore dake ga sore wo shitsu te iru ze hokori ga niau otoko ni nare	Still too early for you, you're still half-boiled Become hard-boiled Only those prepared to be shot Will have the license of a warrior If you have a dream Then work the courage and strength to grab it Only I know this Build your pride Become a suitable man Appearances are something you lose It's something you lose, wait a bit longer If it's not hard, you can't survive If it's not gentle, there is no point The place where you die is the place where you live Know that a place exists Someday, you'll understand Look good in a hat Become a suitable man If you have a dream Then work the courage and strength to grab it Only I know this Build your pride Become a suitable man
