Shakkuri no ouendan, namida no undoukai
Don't throw out that half-eaten lunch yet Tabenokoshita o-bentou mada sutenaide
The gathering spot by the basement stairs, meeting to share distaste Chika no kaidan tamuro, kirai no kyoukan kaigi

1 Like a lot of songs on the album Hisohisobanashi, this track is adolescent in its focus, specifically a school sports club. The title is likely a reference to away matches, though it usually refers to an expeditionary troop.
2 ACAね refers to a classmate or teammate here as just "skull", but the word is associated with the skull and crossbones of danger symbols and pirate flags. One interpretation I read suggested it could be a One Piece reference. It could also be marking this teammate as in metaphorical danger from the cliquey members of the team.
