前向き maemuki may be taken literally as "facing forward", however, it can also be used metaphorically as "forward-looking". There is a remixed version on the CD single, もっと前向きロケット団！ Facing Forward More Team Rocket!.

They sing about how despite being defeated once again, they have chosen to focus on the future instead of dwelling on their past failures.

Lyrics

English

Pappaparaparaparaparapara
Pappaparapappaa! (Wobbuffet!)
Pappaparaparaparaparapara
P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!

We finally made it back to our hideout
A worn out Team Rocket

Meowth: Do you know why we lost today?
Jessie|James: Yes!
Jessie: Let the review meeting begin!

We quickly look back at today's fight

Meowth: Did everything go according to plan?
Jessie|James: Yes!
Jessie: Review meeting adjourned!

Five seconds is just enough time to be worried
After that, tomorrow we can focus on food! (Yahoo!)

We're full of energy, a rising forest
Peeling open hope. Face forward Team Rocket!

(Woooobbuffett!}

Pappaparaparaparaparapara
Pappaparapappaa!
Pappaparaparaparaparapara
P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!
Face forward Team Rocket!
(Woooobbuffet!)
