Announcer: We shall now draw from the Hat of Fate!
Audience: 'Hat of Faith'? ((whispering to each other))
Announcer: And Kaiba Mokuba is up! What will he sing?
Mokuba: Nooo! Um, I don't know. Let me think up a song really quick.
Announcer: The clock is ticking...
Mokuba: Wait...
Announcer: Think faster...
Jounouchi: ((from backstage)) TODAY, PLEASE!
Mokuba: Hah! I got it!
"Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
Yoake no mama de, koesou de
Butsukatteikya kokeru omoi yo
Konya mo mata, sure chigai
Sanzan sugite doryoku no ato mo
Naku naru kekka, only no tsuna watari
Yaru dake son suru yona, mainichi wa
Sha ni kamaeteta hou koso, raku ni naru
Atsukute, tsurai jibun wo kakushite, mijikai toki wo ikiteru
Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
Yoake no mama de, koesou de
Hottokeba, hashiru omoi yo
Yume mo mata, sure chigai
Kanpeki to chau, jinsei no shuushi
Puramai zero da nanteba honto ka na?
Shinu made ni tsukaikiru, un no kazu
Semete, jibun de dashiire wo sasete
Wakacchainai, kimi nara dou ni demo, rikutsu wo kaete ii noni
Nando kimi ni, ketsu mazuitemo
Modottekichau, aijou ni
Shinjikaneru, utaretsuyosa yo
Konya mo, soutou nemurenai
Butsukatteiku, kesunu omoi wo
Semeru hou ga, suji chigai
Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
Yoake no mama de koeteyuku
Aishou yori mo, fukai futari wa
Sure chigatte kamawanai"
((Mokuba bows deeply))
Announcer: SPLENDID voice! ((is lying)) What will the judges say!
((Leichter and Haga are alive...er...have revived))
Leichter: Isn't that song 'Heart of Sword'? His voice is too high and squeaky! But nevertheless, a good song.
Ghost: That song is too...light hearted. Someone needs to sing something dark and angsty.
Leichter: I think it was deep enough for a little boy.
Mokuba: I am NOT a little boy!
Announcer: AHEM. Next?
Haga: I liked it. After all, my voice isn't all that good. I'm jealous. ((turns green with envy))
Announcer: Will he pass?
((Calculating points))
Leichter: Yesiirrreeeeeeee...((drags this out))
Announcer: o.O Okay! Kaiba Mokuba passes!
((Audience claps un-enthusiastically))
/Backstage/
Jounouchi: Good song, Mokuba!
Shizuka: Onii-chan, it made you cry. (A/N: Read the translation at the end you'll understand why it made Jou cry)
Jounouchi: ((whispers)) Sssh! Not so loud!
Yuugi: Nice!
Seto: Hmph.
Anzu: That was so cute! ((hugs Mokuba))
Shizuka: Awesome!
Mokuba: ((is being hugged)) Thanks, guys.
((Seto kicks Anzu))
Seto: Let go of my brother.
Anzu: Oh, okay.
Seto: ...

INFORMATION:
-The song Mokuba sang is 'Heart of Sword' ending theme of 'Rurouni Kenshin'.
-The translation is this:
"When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn
If I try to play it straight, it will no doubt fail,
And tonight it won't go well between us again
You can't see all of my hard efforts, because it's only result
Is that it makes no sense. It really is a "tightrope"
More effort, more damage--this is my daily life.
Taking a cynical attitude may give me some comfort...
Hiding myself, heated and irritated; living only a short time
When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away.
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn
If I let my emotions free,
My dreams will once again not go well
I think the balance sheet of my life is imperfect.
If I add up the plusses and minuses, will it really equal zero?
I want to control all my luck
That may be used up before my life is ended
You don't know--you can change logic at your will
I hurt myself because of you, over and over;
But my love didn't go away--it kept coming back
The toughness gained from my damage is unbelievable
I won't be able to sleep at all tonight either
It revives again and again--because it's love.You can't blame my emotion,
Because you should know it will never fade away.When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away
And even though I'm in the darkness of dawn, I have to goI don't care about "bad affinity".
Even if our love is not doing well,Nevertheless we have deep ties"
Sad, isn't it? That's why is made Jou cry. =(
