破顔 / Hagan / A Wide Smile
*reposted because I hated the formatting in the previous version of this post HAHA
Ahhhhh this was really tricky to translate as this song was full of metaphors (classic Satocchan). But even though it hurt my brain so much, I pushed through as I believe this is one of their best songs - I feel like it’s a love letter of some sort to their fans/supporters for being their light, and because they received so much love and support (light) from them, they will do their best to pass on that light to others through their music.
Anyway, hope this post and this song will make you smile widely, too :)
帰り道のライト 何らかの合図を 無機質に放つビルたちの 名前は知らんよ でもありがとう 開いてく心の搬入口
暖かな窓 カーテンの奥を 推し量ることは野暮だけど 幸せ願うよ 暮らしのサインを くれた顔も知らぬ仲間たち
あなたが居るなら人生は今日も平和だ
到底僕じゃ払えもしないような 深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう 街の誰そ彼の人生の 無数の美しさに途方に暮れる
ため息をつくと 止めてよってちょっと 叱ってくるおかしな奴がいる 言葉ではないよ 点滅のレッド 泳ぐ四輪二輪魚の群れ
眺めてた僕の荷物は笑みへと変わった
到底ひとりじゃ作れもしないような 愛着の湧くシワのひとつひとつ 君のあなたのお前たちの その頼もしさに途方に暮れる
消えてくライト 静けさと共に 灯り出すライト 代わる代わる 訪れる夜を 生き抜くための大事な光を 宿してる誰も 届いてるちゃんと ちゃんと ちゃんと
到底僕じゃ払えもしないような 深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう 街の誰そ彼の人生の 無数の美しさに途方に暮れる
きっと僕らは受け取ってしまう 色んな恐怖も色んな悲しみも それを背負ったもの同士だからこそ 互いを照らし合っては笑う
全てのライト おやすみありがとう 届いてるちゃんと ちゃんと

The lights on the way home, being emitted by those cold, lifeless buildings, serves as some sort of signal I may not know their names, but I'm thankful, (since) they opened up the (service) entrance to their hearts
Although it's dumb to guess who or what’s behind these curtains and warm windows I wish these friends, who have been giving me signs to live, happiness, even though I don't know their faces
As long as you're here, this life, as well as the present, will be peaceful
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city* A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
As I breathed a sigh, I stopped for a while; a weird guy scolds at someone Without any words, the red lights blinked; the four-wheeled and two wheeled vehicles moving like a school of fishes (also begin to stop)
I watched as my baggages turned into smiles
I am left in awe of the kindness of each and every one of you** That even if one doesn't make an effort to make connections, one by one, those feelings (of affection) eventually reach me, like a ripple
The lights come on and then disappear with the silence, they change, one after the other That precious light that keeps us alive during the nights that (always) come I'll carry it with me and make sure it reaches someone, for sure, I'll make sure of that
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
Surely, we'll have to accept everything - even the (various) fears and sadness It is exactly because we go through all these things together that we can shine and laugh at these together
The lights, as well as the good night and thank you's - I'll make sure they reach someone, for sure
T/N
"*OH GOD HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THESE TWO LINES IT WAS SO HARD TO TRANSLATE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER TRANSLATION I MAKE IT WILL NOT DO THE LINES JUSTICE :(( I WILL ALWAYS BE AMAZED OF HOW SATOCCHAN IS A GENIUS WITH WORDS. Tasogare, with the kanji he used in the lyrics, would mean "who is that?". This is actually an old adage/old way of referring to unknown people. In recent times, ""tasogare"" (with the kanji 黄昏) means "twilight", which, actually comes from the old meaning of tasogare. If you look at the lyrics, you will see that both meanings of tasogare work with the context of the song = it may mean that he is completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the lives of the immeasurable number of people he's never known in town (as immeasurable as the stars in the twilight sky). The people interpretation will also work with the song as it can be used as reference for the second chorus (kimi no anata no omaetachi no)."
"**Kimi no, anata no, omaetachi no - kimi, anata, and omae all mean ""you"" when translated into english, but the differences in these lie in the degree of closeness the speaker has with the other party being pertained to. Kimi is more casual and can refer to friends, family, and loved ones, anata to other people one knows (acquaintances, etc; but can also be used with people you have a very close relationship with, especially since anata is sometimes used between husband and wife), and omaetachi to those you don't have a personal relationship with."

TokRev S2 Opening: "White Noise" by Official HiGe Dandism!
youtube
AAAA!! HiGeDan is back for S2! And Chifuyu riding Goki ; A ; !!!
So many feels.
The animation to the intro this time feels refined and they definitely used the softened line blur a lot more.

❥ Twitter Drama #1 : Sobre aquel hilo de Nvnte Japan Parte II ★彡
Tumblr media
Link de la parte I: Aquí
Seguimos con esta serie de opiniones de artistas basadas en el hilo que quizo Nvnte Japan este año, y así también van sabiendo que artistas me gustan y que tipo de J-Pop escucho. Sin más que decir, empezamos:
(pulsar el botón de seguir leyendo para leer la nota completa)
Tumblr media
Aunque no soy muy amiga de lo que los japoneses escuchan hoy en dìa, Kenshi Yonezu es mi excepción y no me sorprende porque es de los poquísimos artistas no idol en llegar al millón de copias por sus propios medios. Su música es entretenida, o por lo menos tiene canciones que lo son, y incluso si su música tiene vibras que suenan un poco repetitivas, él se las ingenia para que suenen frescas.
CALIFICACIÓN: GOOD
Tumblr media
Yuuri es de los artistas más mediocres de los últimos años, sólo es trendy y llega a los charts porque hace la basura que a los weebs y a los japoneses les gusta mas no porque de verdad esté trayendo algo que nunca hayamos visto en el J-Pop. Además de que algunas de sus controversias personales dejan mucho que desear de él. Uno de los problemas del J-Pop mainstream actual es la falta de hits consecutivos de artistas populares y no me sorprende porque sucede dado que con esas canciones súper aburridas, a uno le dan ganas de salir corriendo ngl.
CALIFICACIÓN: MEDIOCRE BYE
Tumblr media
Más o menos me convenció el vocalista del grupo cuando intentó sacar singles en solitario por allá en el 2021 pero la verdad es que la música de ellos como grupo me aburre, al igual que con muchos artistas populares no traen nada novedoso y son la típica banda de pop rock con canciones súper básicas. Un aspecto interesante del J-Pop es como los artistas más prefabricados y sin alma son justamente grupos que aparentan esa vibra de ser complejos y diferentes, pero a la hora de escucharlos se siente que son uno más del montón. No los consideraría mediocres porque en varios aspectos sí se ven que son más o menos decentes, pero tampoco traen algo que ya no hayamos visto en los 2000s con otros artistas que son muchísimo mejores.
CLASIFICACIÓN: MEH
Tumblr media
Creo que son el grupo Johnny que más me gusta, son más o menos consistentes y tienen bops como Uyamuya o Mascara. De verdad, que es muy divertido escucharlos y me gustaría hacerlo más, pero como su compañía está estancada en el pasado al igual que la gran mayoría de Johnny's no están en streaming, y por ende no los escucho tanto como debería (hace mucho tiempo que perdí el hábito de escuchar archivos mp3).
CLASIFICACIÓN: GOOD
Tumblr media
Aunque en general, me gustan los Johnny's modernos, Naniwa Danshi es mi excepción. Supongo que es una banda con un concepto más tradicional, y por ende, su concepto me llega a parecer muy empalagoso e infantil (con este grupo tengo un problema muy parecido al que tengo con las idols japonesas). Además de que musicalmente son muy básicos y ninguno de ellos parece tener una habilidad significativa. I pass.
CALIFICACIÓN: MEDIOCRE BYE
Tumblr media
Otra banda de J-Pop para básicos y weebs. Como ya lo dije con otros artistas de este mismo estilo, no aportan nada nuevo y sólo contribuyen a que cada día la música japonesa mainstream no sea ni la cuarta parte de lo que era hace quince o veinte años atrás.
CALIFICACIÓN: MEDIOCRE BYE
Tumblr media
A pesar de como sucede con muchos Johnny's antiguos, las canciones viejas que conozco de ellos me parecen terribles pero los tiempos han cambiado y creo que han evolucionado bien, no los escucho mucho por el tema de los Johnny's y el streaming pero su álbum del año pasado estuvo muy bueno, además de que sus últimos singles tienen b-sides que son potenciales bops. Es una lástima que estos grupos sean inaccesibles porque hay algunos que tienen potencial.
CALIFICACIÓN: OK
Tumblr media
Al igual que con King & Prince, me gustaría conocerlos más pero los altos mandos de los Johnny's piensan que todavía estamos en los 90s.
CALIFICACIÓN: NO APLICA
Tumblr media
Son buenos omg, a simple vista parecen una banda más y aunque tienen algunos misses, de estas bandas populares me parece que son los únicos (junto a King Gnu) que de verdad están aportando algo interesante, su música es entretenida, no aburre y en algunas se les nota cierta complejidad en los arreglos.
CALIFICACIÓN: GOOD
Tumblr media
Por lejos, uno de los artistas más decentes del mainstream actual. No me sorprende que a su corta edad, sea considerado uno de los compositores promesa porque en verdad lo es. De sus inicios, me agrada el hecho de que sus primeros singles sean versátiles y tengan distintos sonidos, además de que parecen expresar algún tipo de emoción compleja. Cuando se comenzó a volver popular, se centró más en su sonido rock y incluso, si no soy la gran fan del rock, admito que sus canciones de una u otra manera se las ingenian para que me gusten.
Me alegra mucho que él esté recibiendo el reconocimiento que merece porque en verdad es un artista que a larga veo que puede hacer las cosas mucho mejor de lo que ya de por sí lo hace.
CALIFICACIÓN: ICONIC
Hasta aquí, esta segunda parte. Por lo visto, creo que serán varias partes y como siempre, un gif aesthetic random:

All I’m saying is, if the new Tokyo Revengers opening is not by higedan, I’m not fucking watching it.

Higedan’s Editorial album is easily one of my favorite albums of all time.
Their music is so rich and textured, and their lyrics cinematic and relatable at the same time. Overall just a consistently amazing musical act.
(related note: 115万キロのフィルム (115man Kilo no Film) or 1.15 Million Kilometer Film from their earlier album, Escaparade, is an absolute masterpiece. The official live version they released felt like an explosion of passion, ugh i love it so much)

This live album of Higedan’s did not have to go this hard… the live versions of all of these already MAGNIFICENT songs are ten times even more magnificent… and lastly Satoshi Fujihara’s singing always makes me ascend but I rose even higher with this. Incomprehensible oml

恋の去り際 / Koi no Sarigiwa / When the Love is Gone
OH GOD WHY DID I TRANSLATE THIS I AM NOW SAD AGAIN :((((((((( IT SHOULD BE A CRIME FOR UPBEAT SONGS TO HAVE SAD LYRICS I DID NOT EXPECT THIS AT ALL :((((((((( (also SATOCCHAN WHO HURT YOU THIS MUCH)
I don't want to say anything just... read the lyrics... and then let's cry together :((((((
思い悩み 真夜中に飛び出した 冷たい風に吹かれながら点滅信号を見上げた
耳を澄ましても 君の声は聞こえない 車から漏れたヒップホップがサイレンみたいに過ぎてく
もう忘れたいんだ あの瞬間 真っ白な光に 照らし出された ねえ あの時 君はどんな思いで傍にいたの
あんなに好きだと言い合って 頬をくっつけ笑って撮った写真にも こっそり写り込んでいた 悲しい恋の去り際 君から貰った幸せの全てが 目から心から音も無く消えた まだ信じられないまま
遠くでぼやけた赤黄色の光 思い出だらけのこの街は眩しすぎて目を閉じた
認めたくないんだ 辛いんだ 報われることのない脇役のように ただ傷つくこと以外に何一つ出来ずに
壊れてしまった最愛の毎日は 欠片が刺さって本当に痛かった もう二度と戻らない 終わりなんだと知った 貰った手紙は読み返せないくせに 大事にしまって捨てられないまま いつかは忘れられたら
あんなに好きだと言い合って 頬をくっつけ笑って撮った写真にも こっそり映り込んでいた 悲しい恋の去り際 君から貰った幸せをいつかは 全部消して忘れて それ以上の幸せをきっと見つけるから

With troubled thoughts, I ran out in the middle of the night As the cold wind blows, I looked up at the blinking traffic lights
Even though I've been listening carefully, I can't hear your voice The hiphop sound coming from a car passes by like a siren
I just want to forget that moment That one moment illuminated by a bright white light Hey, during those times, what kind of feeling did you have while I was beside you?
Suddenly the sadness (caused by) love leaving appeared, as if it's been there hidden for a long time Even in that picture we took where we told each other "I love you this much" While we were cheek to cheek, happily laughing All the happiness you gave me Disappeared from my eyes and my heart without any sound Until now, I still can't believe it
The red and yellow lights blur at a distance This town, filled with memories of you, shines too bright - I closed my eyes
I don't want to accept it, it hurts I feel like I'm just a supporting character who can't take revenge I can't do anything more but to just feel the pain
It really hurts so much to be pierced by (the reality of) each day that you're not here, my beloved
I can no longer go back to it one more time, I know this is the end Although I will no longer reread the letters you gave me I'll just keep them away - I won't be able to throw them just like that Someday, I will be able to forget
Even in that picture we took where we told each other "I love you this much" While we were cheek to cheek, happily laughing That (picture) secretly reflects the sadness caused by our love leaving Someday, all the happiness that you gave me will disappear and will be forgotten Because surely, I'll be able to find even more happiness than what we had

Also for ask game Arumu n Toukai
Toukai: favorite thing about them- Struggling single dad trying to make it in this world. I appreciate that he's skeptical of Nanase because uh. Yeahhh that tracks.
least favorite thing about them- Cop
favorite line- "Step away!!!! Don't get within a 5-meter radius of Misane!!! No, don't even get in her line of sight!!!!!", man I get it but that's so extra sjfahkjsf.
brOTP- I like his relationship with Misane, that he has a lot of apparent influence on her in her values and mannerisms, and that you can see how he has a good deal of faith in her skill. He's not perfect but he's trying. It's also kind of interesting to imagine him coming around to Nanase after he becomes an apprentice, or how his interactions with Arumu might have went during questioning.
OTP- Uh, his probably-dead wife who's only sort of vaguely implied by Misane's existence? I've got nothing.
nOTP- Nanase tbh.
random headcanon- Had started taking up woodworking in his free time following his clumsy attempt to build a treehouse for Misane, since while doing so it became clear how much work had been weighing on him and that maybe he needed something to take his mind off it once in a while. Although it's mostly small stuff like sculptures or trinkets, maybe a couple of birdhouses.
unpopular opinion- Actually now that I think about it, isn't it a little weird that he's letting his daughter travel with this guy he's suspicious of? Is he trying to let her be her own person and make her own decisions(in no small part because of her own insistence, but still 😔)? Although I suppose he is close enough around that they're able to get him on the scene for questioning when shit hits the fan? And it's been around a year since chXXX, maybe he trusts Nanase more now? Okay this isn't an unpopular opinion I just wanted to ramble.
song i associate with them- Subtitle, he's stoic and kind of emotionally stunted but does care for Misane. Also the mv depicting a father/daughter relationship hi.
favorite picture of them-
Tumblr media
Arumu:
favorite thing about them- HER ENERGY She has SUCH good vibes. I like the way she speaks and how eager she is to help out without regard to danger or rules(at least in the fact that she's a civilian helping out with detective work, which the game does address when she offers).
least favorite thing about them- Wish we got a proper send-off scene with her and the main duo since she's one of the only consistent presences throughout the game.
favorite line- "Well, they say living people are scarier!", girl you okay over there?
brOTP- Misane! Love the contrast in their personalities, they have a fun dynamic and I do like to imagine them staying in touch after the game or getting back in touch sometime later. It's also funny trying to imagine what her interactions with Yuuto as his subordinate would be like since they're such opposites.
OTP- N/a
nOTP- N/a
random headcanon- Her and Hiyu are sort of long lost sisters, they were separated by the foster system when Arumu was a baby so she has no memory of Hiyu, and Hiyu herself is aware of but hesitant to approach her. Nanase is probably aware of this too but keeps his mouth shut because she didn't want him meddling.
unpopular opinion- N/A
song i associate with them- Immaculate Deception without the religious themes, so it's mostly just the mentions of photography though. Also sort of in the sense that despite her upbeat personality she's Seen Shit in her line of work and has just learned to take it, and the misfortunes that befall people, in stride?
favorite picture of them- Being a side character is so hard they have no images but I like her expression in this sprite

People I would erase from the Japanese music scene if I could:
-yuuri
-tani yuuki
-official higedandism
They all must be punished for the crime of being sappy and milquetoast but in a way that is hard to explain cause it is only really popular in japan

More VAs announced for Tenjiku Arc
Yesterday was the early screening event for the 1st episode for TokRev's S3. Majority of the voice actors appearing this upcoming season were there.
What's more is they announced the VAs for Haruchiyo Sanzu and Kawata "Angry" Souya!
Tumblr media
The VA for Sanzu is Okamoto Nobuhiko aka Bakugo from "BNHA" aka Nishinoya from "Haikyuu!" Honestly, I'm a little surprised because voice I had in my head for him was a bit more calm and flat (in this version of him, at least). I can definitely picture Nobu's voice being more fitting for the Bonten arc.
Source: https://twitter.com/anime_toman/status/1708072581981712861
Tumblr media
Angry's VA is Kawanishi Kengo aka The Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito from "Demon Slayer" and Hashida from "Blue Period." I say Kawanishi's voice suits him perfectly. Kawanishi is also voicing Smiley. Hope he gets 2 paychecks for that.
Source: https://twitter.com/anime_toman/status/1708072478998945935
They'll be reusing "White Noise" by HiGeDan for the opening for S3, hopefully with an updated intro sequence cus it'd be kinda awkward to have Black Dragons on there still.
S3 of TokRev will air 10/3 and Hulu will be simulcasting it.
