To distract himself from things going on with Fujimiya, Hase goes to karaoke, bringing Shougo with him.

長谷(はせ):
「ほらほら翔吾(しょうご)(なに)()れて!」
“Come on, come on, Shougo! Put something in, too!”
「じゃなきゃ(おれ)連続(れんぞく)(うた)っちゃうぞー!」
“Otherwise, I'll just keep singing one after another!”

Key Points

  1. 連続(れんぞく)で = “continuously”

    • Here 連続(れんぞく) means Hase would keep singing songs with no break.

    • The particle marks the manner or condition, so 連続(れんぞく)(うた) is “sing continuously” or “sing one song after another”.

  2. Casual contraction: (うた)っちゃう

    • (うた)っちゃう is a spoken contraction of (うた)ってしまう.

  3. じゃなきゃ = “if not”

    • じゃなきゃ is a casual shortening of じゃなければ.

    • It connects directly to the previous line.

  4. Sentence ending nuance: ぞー

    • The ending ぞー makes the line sound emphatic and teasing, like Hase is half-warning and half-joking.
