So I understand that the 2nd line of opening 1 goes like "hijō kaidan de tsume o kamu asu wa docchi da?" but why the heck does it sound more like "hijō kaidan de tsume o kamu asu wa doHOcchi da?" It sounds like there's an extra "ho" before the "cchi da" and I was just wondering if anybody who knows a little bit about japanese knows why this is the case. Or perhaps is it just there to provide an extra sound to make the song sound better?
