●そんな弱腰でゴーゴルに勝てるわけがない!
 Sona yowagoshi de Go-guru ni kateru wake ga nai
― There's no way we can beat Gogol with that kind of cowardly attitude!

"弱腰" literally means "weak waist / hip".
In contrast, "強腰(tsuyogoshi)" means "firm stand".

●やっぱ交通安全不動明王じゃないとな。
 Yappa koutsuu-anzen ha fudoumyouou ja nai to na

●とにかくデビューはド派手にスペース武道館でやろうぜ。
 Tonikaku debyu- ha dohade ni Supe-su Budoukan de yarou ze
― Anyway, let's have our debut be a huge spectacle at Space Budokan!

its primary purpose of use is for training and performance of martial arts.
Meanwhile, for Japanese musicians, live at Budokan is considered as a remarkable feat.
