好き好き∞にーにー (I Like You Like You ∞ Nii-Nii)

Satoko character song! Possible spoilers, mostly for Tatarigoroshi-hen (chapter 3)!

にーにー (nii-nii), derived from 兄さん (nii-san), is how Satoko typically refers to her older brother Satoshi, now missing since disappearing a year before, right around the time their abusive aunt turned up beaten to death and their abusive uncle Teppei fled town in case he was next. Large portions of the song are most relevant to Tatarigoroshi-hen, in which Teppei returns and abuses Satoko once again. The part about stinking, followed by counting to large numbers, comes from when Keiichi finds her half-conscious in a hot bath. Though at least part of it is all in her head, she's convinced that she was told to stay in to a count of ten thousand. To put that in perspective, if you assume one second per number, that's nearly three hours—and it's going to take quite a bit longer than that realistically, given that by that point she's listless to begin with, that the heat is making her increasingly lethargic, and that most of the numbers are too long and complicated to say that quickly even under the best of circumstances.

This song has a lot of spoken lines (and obnoxious laughter) woven in between the lyrics, so many that they're actually a larger part of the content than the "real" lyrics. There doesn't seem to be any official source indicating what they are, so I've pieced them together as well as I could between listening and Googling.
