Question Dojo February 2021 Part 2

It got too long so I’ve started the second part of the translations over here 😊

Question Dojo February 2021 Part 1

Here’s the master post for the February 2021 Hikapaper Question Dojo! I hope he answers all your questions! Updates will be added to the bottom each time

guerrilla love 1st – 8th January 2021

I felt motivated to translate some Tottsu blogs so I’ve dumped them all in the same post here. Enjoy~

A.B.C-Z 頑張れ、友よ Lyric Translation

Long time, no translation! 😅

Here it is! Ganbare, tomo yo! Good luck, my friend! Ebi’s wonderful theme song for their Oenya movie. The lyrics were written by a famous (old) comedian called Egashira-san, which has got the song a lot of hype. It’s a great song about keeping on going, even when you fall! Hasshi’s last line is my favourite and basically sums up the entire feel of the song ❤️

A.B.C-Z BAD GAME Lyric Translation

I LOVE THIS SONG! This is another powerful song about forbidden love. This one goes through the pain of understanding well that the love you want is a lie, that it’s only going to hurt you, but still wanting it anyway. The lyrics would be totally at home on Zephyr but the poppy synth tunes are perfect for CONTINUE? This is my lasting favourite off the album!

Question Dojo October 2020

I’m making a master post for all of Hika’s Dojo answers again this time. I’ll keep adding new instalments to the bottom. Scroll down to find the one you’re up to 🍎

A.B.C-Z GET DOWN BABY Lyric Translation

This is a boppy party song with, honestly, pretty empty lyrics. It’s 90% in English so there wasn’t a lot to translate really. The whole song basically translates to “Let’s party all night”.

A.B.C-Z Mr.DAZZLING Lyric Translation

I don’t even know where to start with this RIDICULOUS song! It’s so ridiculous! 😖 But good ridiculous. It’s about letting go and partying in the Summer… or I also saw a Japanese fan say that she can’t help thinking of it as a sex song so there’s also that 😳 Interpret it as you will but please appreciate what a horrendous mess of heat related imagery these lyrics are… I did my best!

A.B.C-Z GAME OVER!!! Lyric Translation

GAME OVER!!! is the lead song for this year’s album. The whole theme of the song and album is that the end of something is just the beginning of something else. Just like when you die in a game and it asks if you want to “Continue?”, even when you fall down in life you keep on getting back up!

Check it out on Pony Canyon’s Youtube here -> GAME OVER!!!

A.B.C-Z Oh! Teacher Lyric Translation

So… when I saw Ebi were going to have a song called “Oh! Teacher” on the new album I felt an immediate dread, but I am happy to say that the song was nothing like I had imagined! 😅 It’s a song about going to a school reunion and feeling inadequate/like a failure in the eyes of an old teacher. There’s a happy ending though. The lyrics tell a great story.
