Ready Steady Go! by L'arc~en~Ciel is the second opening song in the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime, used in Episodes 14 through to 25. When the English-dubbed version of the show was first broadcast on [Adult Swim], the second opening and ending were used throughout the first 26 episodes — skipping the first opening and ending — but the DVDs released by Funimation show the correct openings and endings for the first 13 episodes. The music video for Ready Steady Go! was included as an extra feature on the Volume 4: The Fall of Ishbal DVD. [SPOILERS] After Maes Hughes's death in Episode 25, the usual ending sequence is replaced with a simple credits roll.
Lyrics (romaji)[]
READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED! READY STEADY GO!
Fukitonde yuku fukei korogaru you ni mae
Kurushii magure demo hyouteki wa mou minogasenai
Ate ni naranai chizu yaite shimaeba ii sa
Uzumoreta shinjitsu kono tenohira de tsukamitorou
Muchuu de (hayaku) kakenukete kita
Urusai kurai ni harisake sou na kodou no takanari
Hibiite (yonde) iru kimi no koe
Koko de tachidomaru you na jikan wa nai sa
READY STEADY GO
AHH, PLEASE TRUST ME
