Berryz Koubou – MADAYADE(lyrics translation)

Hello! I’ve started to translate Yajima Maimi’s interview from B.L.T.U-17 magazine, but today I’m too tired to continue with it. Instead – I translated something else. It’s Berryz Koubou new single – Madayade. I won’t put the lyrics itself right here – because since it’s a new single they’re all over the internet – you can probably find them anywhere. So I’ll just put the translation here.

And so I present you – “Not Yet”

Youth and love is all that I think of
And can’t stop thinking at all

Youth I feel gushes forth
And it seems it’s out of control

He looks really famous
Really beautiful and money he has
That’s a really enviable life
But that’s other person’s life I see

But I won’t complain no more
Nothing will trouble me no more

Dreaming – not not not not not yet
Twenties and thirties – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!

Hopes – not not not not not yet
Elder sister, elder brother – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!
Pioooon

Youth is when you compare and compare
What boyfriend one or other girl has

Youth is probably wearing out
And it seems it’s out of control

When I see news a feeling builds up
Difficult thing I can’t understand
When people from TV talk to us
Is everything they say really right?

Yes, let’s start to receive this
Yes, with my antenna

Dreaming – not not not not not yet
Forties and fifties – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!

Future – not not not not not yet
Dads and moms – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!
Pioooon

Dreaming – not not not not not yet
Sixties and seventies – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!

Future – not not not not not yet
Gramps and grans – not not not yet
Some more some more – ha ha ha ha!
I will not give up – ha ha ha ha!
Pioooon

And that’s pretty much it. By the way – I tried to keep the rhythmics of the original song lyrics here – so there’s some extra words here and there – which don’t alter the meaning, but built up same rhythmic pattern as it is in the original. But probably I didn’t manage to keep that up in some parts of the translation – so it’s for you to judge whether you can or can’t sing along the instrumental with English words. As usual – comments and critics are welcome.

Thanks for your time.

News Batch 2

Hello! Well it seems that news started to come day after day. Let’s see if there will be something new tomorrow. In my previous post I told you about preview-pv of Buono!’s new single – Lotta’ Love Lotta’ Love. Today we already have full version at Dohhh UP!

You can click here – to see it. And as usual – I’ll embed youtube video here – though the quality is not the same as it is on Dohhh UP!

And also today – Berryz Koubou new single Madayade PV has also been made available. This time it was shown at M-ON! and someone uploaded it to youtube. I’ll embed it here also.

(Thanks go to Linus from JPH!P forum for pointing these out)

Let me remind you that Madayade is to be released on 5th of November and Lotta’ Love Lotta’ Love – on 12th of November. So basically it’s not that far away.

I’ll probably do a review later this week – but I don’t guarantee it because my time got sucked up by other matters… So just watch these wonderful PVs and enjoy them as much as I did. Because these are really good.

Thanks for your time.

Berryz Koubou – Madayade covers and Buono! – Lotta’ Love Lotta’ Love covers and PV preview.

Hello! As usual – three-four days and I post. Ah well…

Anyways some news arrived – first of all – Covers are now available for Berryz Koubou new single, which is to be released on 5th of November. This covers are pretty good, but nothing outstanding – simple, yet attractive.

This possibly will be next artist profile picture at H!P official site.

And now on to covers – regular edition(preorder it here, here or here)

And limited edition(preorder here, here and here)

As I said – these covers look good, though they are pretty simple. I do like them more than 5(FIVE) album covers.

And next on – Buono! new single “Lotta’ Love Lotta’ Love” now has it’s own commercial. It’s been uploaded on youtube by someone and I’ll embed it here.

You can see covers at the end of it, they look interesting. And here we can see that Buono! changed it’s style to something different – now it’s plain dresses with white dots and cute hair bands. I can’t say anything more judging from the commercial – but the dance probably will be interesting.

I remind you that this single is to be released on 12th of November.

Thanks for your time.

Berryz Koubou – Madayade. Preview.

Hello! Preview of Berryz Koubou’s new single “Madayade” – which is to be released on 5th of November – was broadcasted on radio, and so we already have it. You can download it at Hello!Online.

Now on to the song. As far as I hear from the preview – it’s very catchy. Another up-beat single from Berryz Koubou is really great news(someone supposed it to be a slow medley-like song). I think it can be compared to “Happy! Stand UP” from Berryz 5th album. At least it has the same feeling, which will be great at concerts. And I must say that this song caught me up(well at least it’s preview) from the very first notes. Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance’s preview didn’t have this effect on me. So let’s see what it will be like when it will be released. But after the preview I’m now looking forward to it even more. But I think I won’t be disappointed in it. Only thing I would like to know – what the covers will look like and what c\w song will be like. Though even IF(and that’s a big if here) these both turn out to be somewhat somehow crappy – this won’t make me dislike this single.

Thanks for your time.

New releases in October, November and December…

Hello! I’ve been somewhat busy and also I’ve been waiting for a lot of news to come. And so there is already a lot of news and I think I will share them with you.

Today, on 4th of October – C-ute’s new DVD magazine was released. It’s volume 7 and I’m really looking forward to it, because I enjoyed the last one.

You may already now this, but on 11th of October Hello!Project Calendars for 2009 will be released. These include Berryz Koubou calendar, C-ute calendar, Natsumi Abe, Morning Musume and Matsura Aya. These are available for pre-order at different places, and I will give you links to HMV so you can pre-order them there if you wish.

Matsura Aya 2009 Calendar – here.(it’s already released)

Mano Erina’s second single is to be released today. It’s called “Lucky All Right ~Sorette Ureshii desu~” but unfortunately it’s an Indie single and so it will be released at fan events – so no oversees shipments… You can see its cover though…

Long awaited by me DVD “Hello!Project 2008 Summer Wonderful Hearts Koen – Hishochi de Date Itashima Show”(yes, long title as usual XD) will be released on 22nd of October. Preorder is available here(yesasia.com).

Second single of MilkyWay will be released on 29th of October. Both limited and regular editions are available for preorder.

But that’s not all. This winter will be full of releases – and I really think that later there’s even more announces to come.

Berryz Koubou 18th single is to be released on 5th of November. It’s title has been already announced and it’s “Madayade” which is supposedly Kansai-ben(dialect) word standing for “Not yet”(thanks to Ayabie for pointing this out).

On 12th of November we will see two releases at once. First is DVD with concert footage from C-ute’s concert “Wasuretakunai Natsu” and second is Buono’s new single – “Lotta’ Love Lotta’ Love”

As for Buono single it’s an ending theme for new season of Shugo Chara, which is called “Shugo Chara Dokii” first episode of it was aired today, at 9:33(Japan time) and so there we could already hear both – new single of new unit “Shugo Chara Egg” and new single from Buono!

It has already been posted at youtube, so you can see and hear it. As always, I’ll embed it here.

Shugo Chara Dokii opening

Shugo Chara Dokii ending

I really enjoyed these both – I hope you will enjoy them too. I’m looking forward to the releases.

May I remind you that Shugo Chara Egg’s new single will be released on 10th of December.

But let’s get back a bit to 21st of November. Tsugunaga Momoko’s new photobook(which still has no title…) is to be released at this time.

Later on – 26th of November, only recently announced C-ute’s new single is to come. No more information available at this time…

Also on 26th of November – cover album from Morning Musume will be released. It’s titled “Cover You”

DVD with Morning Musume’s musical collaboration with Takarazuka “Cinderella the Musical” will be released on 3rd of December.  You can preorder it on cdjapan.co.jp

As I’ve said earlier – 10th of December is the release date for Minna no Tamago – Shugo Chara Egg’s debut single.

Concert DVD with Berryz Koubou concert “Berikore” will be released on 17th of December.

And also on 17th of December - new Kusumi Koharu’s album is to be released.

That’s almost all news for today. Though I probably missed something – but it’s either too far away, or somehow slept past me. As soon as something new comes by – I’ll post it here immediately.

Thanks for your time.
