I'm Ready

"I'm Ready", alternatively "Ready to Love", is a song in Death Note: The Musical. It is Misa's introductory song.

Overview
When Light Yagami and Sayu Yagami attend Misa Amane's concert, Misa sings this song. Just before the song, Misa begins by thanking her "beloved hero" Kira. Light brings this up to Sayu after the performance, saying that he liked that part, but Sayu expresses her disagreement with her own song "We All Need a Hero".

During the performance of Misa's song, Ryuk dances around on stage along with Misa and her dancers. Immediately after the performance, he continues dancing and sings a few lines of the song, although he's quickly tired out, saying that Misa is full of energy.

The song is referenced two other times in the Musical. The first time is before the actual performance; when Sayu asks Light if he'll attend the concert with her and he agrees, she leaves the room singing a couple of lines to herself. The song is referenced again after L and Light have their tennis match, just after Misa and L meet; when Light calls Misa to try to get L's real name, Misa's cell phone's ringtone is an 8-bit version of this song.

English version
The song was originally written in English, but an English-language version has not been released. The original English title of the song is "I'm Ready".

On October 15, 2017, script-writer Ivan Menchell shared the English lyrics when fans asked him on Twitter.

English lyrics Well, they say I'm too young And they call me a fool Who can't possibly know my own heart

So they tell me to wait 'Til I'm finished with school But right now is when love wants to start

And the world may be cold And the world may be cruel But this world is all that I've got

So what I'm dreaming of Is somebody to love Hope you're ready, 'cause I'm ready Ready or not

Because life is too short And the road is too long To believe you can walk it alone

But together we might Find a place to belong Where together we'll face the unknown

If you're ever afraid You can just lean on me And become all the things that you're not

Let me kiss you, and then Let me kiss you again If you're ready, 'cause I'm ready Ready or not

I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! And I hope that you're ready, too I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! 'Cause I feel like I'm falling with you I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! And I hope that you're ready, too I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! Baby, ready or not, I'm in love with you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

(rap/dance break)

I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care what the world has to say

'Cause the world doesn't know What I feel about you And that feeling just grows every day

If it's right or it's wrong Only love sees you through And love's really all that we've got

Close your eyes, baby, then Let me kiss you again Hope you're ready, 'cause I'm ready Ready or not

I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! And I hope that you're ready, too I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! 'Cause I feel like I'm falling with you I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! And I hope that you're ready, too I'm ready! Yes, I'm ready! Baby, ready or not, I'm in love with you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

(rap/dance break)

Japanese version
若すぎると皆言うの 自分を見失うなと 卒業まで 待てだなんて もう胸が張り裂けそう

世界中を敵にしても 貴方さえいるなら 怖くないわ どんな事も 覚悟は出来てる いいでしょう

どこにいても不安だった 迷子の子猫みたいに でも感じる 貴方となら ここが私の場所なの

果てない道 遠い未来 平気よ二人なら 全て捨てて走り出すの 覚悟は出来てる いいでしょう

I'm ready, yes I'm ready 貴方もそうでしょう？ I'm ready, yes I'm ready 恋の渦の中へ I'm ready, yes I'm ready 愛に溺れましょう I'm ready, yes I'm ready さあ覚悟を決めて 今

If you're ready, come with me now cause I'm ready. Say "go-go" (x5)

I'm ready, yes I'm ready 貴方もそうでしょう？ I'm ready, yes I'm ready 恋の渦の中へ I'm ready, yes I'm ready 愛に溺れましょう I'm ready, yes I'm ready さあ覚悟を決めて

もう止まらない 覚悟を決めて今 もう止まらない 覚悟を決めて今
