Wota in Translation

Tsunku♂ has given us over 1300 songs.
What do you think is the one message he’s
tried to convey to us through his music?

1: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:45:02 ID:???
The world belongs to us all.

2: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:46:34 ID:???
The future of Japan looks bright.

31: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)13:30:30 ID:???
That people who like fishing can’t be bad people.

4: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:47:22 ID:???
That we all need to become Yattaruchan.

30: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)13:19:22 ID:???
“Yay!“

26: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)08:55:53 ID:???
That you have to celebrate your youth. But then on the other hand he also says that your whole life is your youth, so ultimately what he’s saying is that you have to celebrate your life.

9: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:48:54 ID:???
Love.

3: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:47:19 ID:???
That 100 years is not enough for one lifetime.

5: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:47:24 ID:???
We need to have fun in life.

6: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:47:36 ID:???
Planet Earth is crying.

7: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:48:39 ID:???
The sense of security found in the feeling of irritation.

18: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:53:38 ID:???
Society is rose-colored.

19: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/06(火)23:56:32 ID:???
Resources are finite.

23: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)01:07:19 ID:???
That Japan is a country with delicious rice.

24: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)02:07:49 ID:???
“Hesontoko yoroshiku.“

28: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/07(水)09:20:07 ID:???
That while there will be times you’ll be troubling yourself with matters of love, you have to do your best to always keep living positively regardless. Also, that we must take good care of our planet.

36: つんく回復祈願中。。。◆n/7caLIPGc 2014/05/07(水)22:56:39 ID:???
The themes in Tsunku’s lyrics can be divided in roughly two categories. There’s the lyrics about “being thankful for ordinary happiness,” and the “stories of girls unable to achieve said ordinary happiness.”

Every once in a while there’ll be much bigger themes in his lyrics, like stuff about the planet or peace or nature, but I think what Tsunku is trying to say that they’re all just things that are part of that ordinary happiness.

49: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:21:09 ID:???
I think what Tsunku wants to say is that nothing good will come out of pessimism. He’s saying “look, I’ll become a clown for you, so you guys just go ahead and laugh.” Because it’s always better to be laughing, isn’t it?

51: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:25:49 ID:???
Tsunku is nothing if not consistent with what he writes. I remember him once talking about how he’s unable to write words that don’t come from the heart. On the opposite spectrum, there are some professional lyricists out there who can mass produce lyrics that don’t come from within. But Tsunku is not like that.

53: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:28:01 ID:???
I feel like his lyrics have changed since he got married and had kids.

55: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:29:08 ID:???
But of course. Something like that will have a huge influence on you, mentally.

89: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)19:08:09 ID:???
Another important quality of H!P lyrics is that certain feeling of love towards your family, and that was especially concentrated in the song Maji de Suka ska. That’s the number one pop song I would want young children everywhere to hear.

92: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)21:39:27 ID:???
Even in the early songs like Happy Summer Wedding, he was already writing lyrics like “Ah, father, mother. Ah, I’m so thankful. ♪” And there are songs like Papa ni Niteiru Kare, too. Tsunku has given a very warm representation of the concept of family for a long time now.

54: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:29:03 ID:???
Tsunku is a fool, but he’s a good person. And that’s something that just oozes from his lyrics.

57: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:31:43 ID:???
He has plenty of lyrics about feeling sad or bitter about an unrequited love, but none about feeling absolute despair or hopelessness towards life — “no one understands” or “I want to die.” Nothing on that level. He’s always been very forward-looking when it comes to life.

65: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:44:15 ID:???
I’m pretty sure Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai is Tsunku’s love song to his own children.

64: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:44:00 ID:???
>>1 here, but I just wanted to clarify that when I said “The world belongs to us all” in my opening post, I didn’t mean it as a joke but was actually pretty serious about it. (laughs) Like, “since the planet belongs to all of us, let’s use its resources equally. It’s thanks to this planet that we’re all here.” That kind of thing.

67: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:44:49 ID:???
Where were you, >>1? You can’t let a thread this good go to waste.

68: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:48:52 ID:???
>>67
Sorry for neglecting it. m(. . )m

Whenever I’m feeling down and I listen to Tsunku’s silly songs, it just immediately brings my spirits back up. I just start to feel so foolish for even being worried about something in the first place. (laughs) But that’s actually something pretty amazing, isn’t it?

70: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)14:52:43 ID:???
>>68
Very true. I don’t know why, but his music is so uplifting.

77: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)15:02:26 ID:???
Tsunku’s lyrics also feature lots of mentions about all kinds of food. It’s pretty clear that’s because he wants to point out the importance of eating.

79: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)15:06:41 ID:???
Well, to humans, living and eating are completely inseparable after all.

83: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)15:35:24 ID:???
“Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai darou?”
In most lyrics, rain is usually a metaphor for something negative. But it’s because there’s sadness that there can be kindness — it simply wouldn’t be any good without rain.

84: 名無しさん＠おーぷん 2014/05/08(木)15:38:45 ID:???
Reading through this thread, I didn’t see a single reply I disagreed with.

3. 名無しさん@ハロプロキャンバス 2014年05月09日 19:47 ID:t.cQrsxX0
From the big themes love, life and politics, all the way to the world of belly buttons. Tsunku really is a genius.

The three representative Platinum Era songs:
“Resonant Blue,” “Kimagure Princess,” and…?

I’ve been going to many concerts by many artists for many years now, but the only time I really felt deeply moved just from seeing a concert was when seeing Platinum Era Musume.

67: 名無し募集中。。。 2015/08/31(月) 21:12:50.58 0.net
Morning Musume had come to a point where, at the beginning of Platinum Era, they couldn’t even draw enough people to fill concert halls without the help of Ishikawa Rika.

Three years after that, Platinum Era Musume descended to a sold-out Yokohama Arena.

That’s what people are talking about when discussing the legend of Platinum Era.

In any case, Terada was just on fire during this period. I remember hoping Musume wouldn’t get popular again, because Terada is the Tezuka Osamu type — the more he’s bashed, the more fired-up he becomes and the more he demonstrates what he’s truly capable of.

It was so important to have supporting members like Gaki-san in the group. ’15, too, needs a post-Gaki.

With Gaki-san, it wasn’t just about that great voice of hers, but also her age and the number of years she’d been in the group and the credibility that brought. I’m hoping that in about three years from now we’re going to start seeing some of the current members becoming more like her.

I love both the Platinum Era and the EDM Era in different ways. It’s pretty amazing that a group exists with this kind of variety and breadth in their back catalog of amazing songs. It’s also great that everyone during the Platinum Era aside from Jun-Lin got their own solo songs. I would’ve wanted to give those two their own, too.

Tanpopo and Seinaru Kane ga Hibiku Yoru are truly amazing songs.

(“I don’t mind the silence — I want us to remain like we are right now
You and me, enveloped in the night breeze
When I get home, my parents will surely know I’ve skipped school
From the smell of takoyaki sauce and first love on me“)

Shinagawa, Gotanda, Azabu ni Roppongi
Shinjuku, Shin-Okubo — doko de asonderu no?

(“Shinagawa, Gotanda, Azabu or Roppongi,
Shinjuku, Shin-Okubo — where do you hang out?“)

I can’t believe that both of these lyrics were written by the same person.

I once heard a female lyricist talking about how, when it’s a woman writing lyrics from a female point-of-view, there’s a danger of the lyrics becoming a bit too “graphic.” That’s why there’s a long history of men writing songs from a female point-of-view.

The scary thing about Tsunku is that there’s none of that playboy-type, “look at me, I understand the hearts of women!” kind of thing that could be detected in his work. It’s almost like he’s gotten women to talk to him about the innermost feelings that women actually think about.

The lyrics of Furare Pattern are amazing. Up until the second verse the protagonist talks about just how much she loves the guy, how she’d do anything for him, and yet it continues to be an unrequited love despite all of that. Then she’s even able to self-analyze: “Yume no naka mo tsukushiteru / sonna jibun ni yoishireteru” (“I think about you even in my sleep — but in the end, I’m actually just infatuated with myself when I do“)… and yet she still continues to be rejected by him. He gives the perfect portrayal of a girl in that situation.

２２時がリアルの門限だけど２０時って言っておけば、その男がつまらん奴やったら２０時で帰る理由が出来るし、気に入ったら「今日は門限やぶる」って言うと彼うれしいでしょ。RT @m__cHie: @tsunkuboy 夏男聴くたび思うんですけど、なんで門限わざと早い時間教えるんですか？

— つんく♂ (@tsunkuboy) November 16, 2012

@m__cHie: @tsunkuboy Whenever I listen to “Natsuo,” I always find myself asking: why does the protagonist in the lyrics tell the guy that the place she works at is closing sooner than it really is?

@tsunkuboy: Assume that the place she works at is closing at 22 o’clock, but she nevertheless tells the guy that it’s closing at 20 o’clock. If she finds the guy boring, she now has an exit strategy by saying she needs to go home at 20 o’clock. But if she actually likes him, she can say “you know what, screw the closing time, I want to stay here with you for a while longer…” You can imagine how happy the guy would be to hear that.

でも、この歌詞で言いたかったのは、「門限は早い目に伝えてあるから強引にでも私を口説いて伸ばしてみなさい」って意味です。RT @naorin819: つんくボーイは私より女子力ある＞＜RT@tsunkuboy: RT @m__cHie: @tsunkuboy 夏男聴

Toki Sora is Sayu’s song. Sayu loves Musume, and that song is like her message to the future members of Musume that she has yet to even meet. I heard some people saying this kind of thing before and that’s how I now interpret the song, too.

“I’ve still got quite a way to go / I’ve waited for you since the distant past / I believe I’ll meet you in this world / So I wait for you.”

Aside from the meaning the word “biscuit” has in Japan (as in cookie), there’s also something called bisque dolls. (That’s how it was originally written, but it’s also sometimes written as “biscuit.”)

Bisque dolls are those famous porcelain dolls. They have an extensive history if you want to look it up, but one of the biggest motifs behind bisque dolls is the well-known story of Cupid. In short, “iroppoi cupid” and “iroppoi bisque” just go together well in contrast to each other. And as I’m sure you already know, Cupid of course is the god of love in Roman mythology.

5: 名無し募集中。。。。 2006/07/01(土) 08:31:48.52 0
The contrast of Cupid and Bisque makes you think about the image of porcelain bisque: pure, white, unstained, but also easy to break, as well as fleeting — just like the transience of a love experienced in puberty.

Please tell me the meaning of “harisakesou na kurai atama ga naname” (“my head is so tilted, it feels like it’s going to burst“) from Munasawagi Scarlet, and “Ikebukuro sugitatte kono ai wa eien” (“though we might pass Ikebukuro, this love is eternal“) from Special Generation. With the former, I kinda-sorta get the nuance, but why is her head tilted? And as for the latter, again I get the message, but why Ikebukuro of all places?

132: 名無し募集中。。。 2014/05/20(火) 02:33:14.09 0.net
Tilted = not level (stable) = unstable.

As for Ikebukuro, it’s not that Ikebukuro itself is of any importance. “Though we might pass Ikebukuro” = “though we’re riding the train.” It indicates their location. Then the lyric “kinou yori mo, ima yori mo” (“more than yesterday, more than today“) = “even after a million years.” It indicates time. In other words, the meaning is that “no matter how much time passes, no matter where we might be, this love will be eternal and unwavering.“

On the JR Yamanote Line, Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku are known for being areas with a lot of young people. But when you pass Ikebukuro, you get to Otsuka — a place with a lot of older folks — before arriving at Sugamo. In other words, the lyric is saying that this love will last from generation to generation.

Google says that seventh heaven is the highest level of Heaven.

I don’t think Terada thinks about lyrics quite to the extent that some people say he does, but I do think he’s very knowledgeable about many things. Though he might be doing most of it unintentionally, there’s often deeper meanings you can find in the wordplay of his lyrics. Still, though, I do think the wota who read too much into his lyrics are pretty incredible.

There’s so many lyrics here whose meanings I hadn’t even thought about before! I wouldn’t say Tsunku is a learned man or anything; I really feel he just thinks about stuff he figures other people don’t often think about. Then he puts those things into his songs looking all self-satisfied, going “let’s see if any of you guys can figure this one out!” It kinda pisses me off… but it’s so cute. (laughs)

Some people prefer lyrics that only give you hints as to how you should interpret them; other people prefer lyrics that are very direct, almost like a clear explanation of what it is they’re saying. I feel like people coming from the outside (as in non-H!P wota) who complain about Tsunku’s lyrics not making any sense all come from the latter group of people.

I’ve always interpreted this as something that happens exclusively between young girls: when you start learning something new, or when you find a new hobby or something and you tell about it to your girl friends after the fact, some of them will give you a hard time about it, almost kind of making you feel bad about it. Just how amazing is Tsunku’s heart of a fair maiden?

Wow. For the first time I finally realize the meaning of that lyric.

Everyone interprets lyrics their own way so I’m not trying to object to your interpretation, but I really don’t agree with it. If you take into consideration the rest of the lyrics, I think it’s very clear they’re about a kid in puberty who’s scared of announcing their future hopes to their parents, because he/she knows they’re just going to be all shocked to hear about it. Or when he/she starts doing something new in life all of a sudden, the parents will be all “is this kid okay…?“

It’s kind of funny to me how everyone’s always making fun of Kuduu’s pubertal silliness, and yet, it’s these kinds of lyrics you guys all love the most.

Agreed. I, too, think the lyrics are about a middle or high school kid who’s afraid of the reaction from his/her parents.

I think the breadth of Tsunku’s lyrics is amazing. Many of them just strike you as silly at first, but when you look at each and every line individually, there’s so many bits in there that just make you think “how’d he even come up with this?” At the end of the day, I really think he might be a genius.

It’s like they say: the line between idiot and genius is paper-thin.

Of recent songs, maybe Ee ka!? I really don’t think anyone but Tsunku could write a song like that.

The first time I saw Oheso in concert, I was like “wow, it’s been a while since Tsunku last wrote a song this crazy.“

Lately, Lalala no Pipipi and Rock to Teigi. The songs capture perfectly the essence of both Michishige and Tanaka, and there’s something about them that when those intros start playing, everyone at the venue just feels united.

aMa no Jaku. The word “love” doesn’t appear once in the lyrics, and yet, it’s so bittersweet…

Agreed. My favorite S/mileage song. The lyrics are great and they fit the melody really well. Actually, I don’t think those lyrics could fit any other melody.

Having Matenrou only as the secondary A-side, I don’t feel like H!P’s resources are anywhere near exhausted yet.

If we’re judging by lyrics, then Arigatou! Otomodachi or Sabori, songs like that. I can only say it was a job well done when I think about how it was some middle-aged dude writing those lyrics.

All the shuffle unit songs from 2000 to 2005. Especially all the color groups, Elegies, Sexy Otonajan, and Puripuri Pink. I want them to do those again — and I don’t mean SATOYAMA/SATOUMI.

Were songs like Kiss Me Aishiteru and Kanzen na Otona really written by Tsunku though?

Well, hearing Terada’s demo vocal version of the latter didn’t feel off-putting at all at least.

Terada’s version was even cooler than the released one. °C’s members just couldn’t sing the “kanze, n↑” bit quite like Tsunku.

At the end of the day, a big reason why I’m an H!P wota is the music. I simply don’t feel like moving on to any other idols.

The Jimi Hendrix chords in Dance de Bakoon are so damn prominent, I don’t think even THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT throws this many in one song.

I love how effortlessly he can put into words those daily life situations; the nonchalant, everyday scenes that are part of all our lives. I remember being especially surprised hearing Sekaiichi Happy, going all “YES! Exactly!” I love all those early Berryz songs, too.

Wakuteka really is amazing. I can’t help but think he was on something when he wrote it.

Wakuteka… I do think it’s a very elaborate song, but the members at the time really couldn’t sing it as well as they should’ve. When I heard Tsunku’s demo version of it, that’s when it finally clicked and I realized what he was going for — for the first time ever I could hear it for the cool song it is.

Manpower. I love listening to music from all over the world, but the thing about Manpower is: you can look and you can look but you simply can’t hear a song like it anywhere else in the world. It sounds like you may have, but if so, it must have been in a parallel universe somewhere.

Of recent songs, I really like the two new Berryz ones. I can’t help but feel amazed by Tsunku’s discerning ear when he handed Otona na no yo over to the arranger, feeling sure it would work. Sure, I understand what everyone here means when they’re saying you can’t underestimate the arrangers’ influence either, but I can’t help but think that Tsunku had a pretty clear vision of how that song would sound like the moment he wrote it.

I was really, really surprised the first time I heard both Manpower and Massara. It was almost like culture shock.

Well, if I started listing songs I’d be going on all day. But every now and then there are some lyrics that just make chills run down my spine. I still remember the goosebumps when I heard “Nanchatte Renai” and I was going “these lyrics are about me…!” The essence of all thoughts had by middle and high school students that Tsunku managed to put in that song…

The melody of VERY BEAUTY that perfectly portrays the feelings of a girl who’s just barely broken out of that “little girl” period of her life… The lyrics, too, are just overflowing with Tsunku’s love towards the members.

People can talk about how his genius has run dry all they want, but the fact of the matter is that there is no producer out there like Terada.

Henkka: Thank you, Tsunku♂.
