Last one! Thanks to @nardaviel for transcribing, and for pointing out that this is one of the saddest songs in the Boueibu canon. Are you scared yet?

Okay, first off this was really hard to translate in several places and mistakes are guaranteed. Please point any out that you see; thanks!
Second... this is tagged for spoilers because there are spoilers for the rest of the series here, or I'm a cup of tea. There are even two lines that appear in the lyric sheet but are cut from the song as released; those are down after the translation for the curious.
Third... this is the VEPPer transformation theme, of course (or so it has so far been used), and it's by far the most interesting thing I've seen yet about series 2. Want your Tanabata references? You got 'em. Want your twins-are-stars-or-aliens reality manipulation references? You got' em. Want your Kinatsu references? They're here.
( who knows )

- They're spelling 二つ futatsu, "two of
", with the kanji 双 sou, "pair", which seems to be almost nonstandard? It crops up in a very few contexts. - 那由多 nayuta is a Buddhist term meaning "a vast number", usually thought to be 100 million. It's usually spelt 那由他.
- They also do the spelling-it-earth-but-pronouncing-it-planet thing from "Love Is Power!".

First, you can hear the song here, courtesy of @d4ftka. Thanks! Lyrics are from utamap.com. It's a Boueibu OP, ofc, and that means it's full of gratuitous Japlish and kanji puns:
Good stuff under the cut. Let me know what I messed up so I can fix it. :D
( love will live here )
- 愛変わらず aikawarazu, usually spelt 相変わらず - means "the same as always", but here ai is spelt with the kanji for "love", making it mean “unchanging love”. 水入らず mizuirazu, meaning "without outsiders", literally means "without entering the water" or "out of the water".
- フットバス futtobasu - literally, footbath! There's also a verb 吹っ飛ぶ futtobu, like the buttobasu it's paired with in Ryuu's line here, meaning "to blow away/blow up", like in an explosion. I went with "blow away" for the primary translation based just on how it would sound, but pick whichever you like best.
- ARE 湯 (yu) READY? - "you" spelt with the kanji yu for hot bathwater.
- There's a point where the lyric is written 地球 chikyuu (Earth, as in chikyuu boueibu - Earth Defence Club, duh), but pronounced hoshi (planet).
Good stuff under the cut. Let me know what I messed up so I can fix it. :D
