Engrish for All

Published by celestia under Momusu

!!!SUPPESHYARU ENGRISH ENTORII!!!

In a recent post on a hello project forum that I read, someone commented that they originally misheard the Love Machine lyrics:

Love Love Love Machine

Love Love Love Station

Love Love Love Factory

As

Love Love Love Machine

Love Love Love Special

Love Love Love for free

And I was so surprised because I thought the EXACT same thing when I first heard that song. When a 3rd person chimed in that they made the same mistake, I realized that this was a common affliction (ps. If you thought this too, let me know, k?). Then I decided to look through some Hello Project song lyrics and see what else I had been mishearing.. Aside from utterly failing to recognize “English” lyrics as such (and there is a lot of that), here are some of my mistakes. Real lyrics in normal font, my interpretations in bold.

Ambitious

Hey!Hey! happy no mainichi

Hey! Hey! happy go lucky

The Man Power

Homosapiens

Homo says yes (I don’t know wtf I was thinking with this one)

Roman My Dear Boy

Let’s have a dance now

Let’s have a dance party (this really isn’t what it is??)

Koko ni Iruzee

Yes! Wonderland!

Yes! What about…?

Souda! We’re Alive

A beautiful star!

A beautiful style!

The Peace

Deribari Pizza

Everybody peace out (but come on! Who would expect a line to be ‘Delivery pizza’?)

How do you like Japan

Why do you love me?

Ooo do you want me?

The sad thing is, this isn’t even the half of it. I just put in the mistakes that I thought were the most amusing, and I only looked at Morning Musume songs.

Since this is the special Engrish entry, it’s fitting to have another lyrics face-off, Engrish edition! If you don’t know, it’s basically which word appears the most often in morning musume singles. Today’s words are dance(dansu), love(rabbu), and sexy(sekushii). Ready… faitto!

Dance- 20

Love- 55

Sexy- 36

Whether in English or Japanese, Love continues to dominate over all other words. As it well should. Until next entry… bai bai!!!

Dream Shuffles

Published by celestia under Uncategorized

What h!p fan hasn’t watched a Summer or Winter all project concert with all the shuffled members and songs and thought, “Well, that was great, but I really wish so-and-so and so-and-so would sing such-and-such a song”? Today, Bikkuri Project continues the time honored tradition of creating dream shuffle performances.

Love, Namida Iro- Ai-chan, Risa, Konkon
Akai Fresia-Sayu, Reina, Eri

I want to see both of these for the same reason, because they were the audition songs for 5th and 6th gen respectively. When they are performed, I think they should start by showing some clips of their audition footage. The idea is that we can directly see how they’ve improved. Now, wouldn’t that be cool?

Genki+- All of OG
I’d love to see this song in the hands of the OG members. Many of them have very powerful voices, and I think they could make this song even more awesome than MM already has. Plus, I love the song, and I really hope we haven’t seen the last of it.

Okashi Tsukutte Okassui- Momoko, Maimai, Aika, LinLin
I picked the song because it’s one of my favorites of minimoni when Mari was still around, and it’s not done very often. This is my vision for the “New Minimoni”. Aika because her performace in the “Shouri no Big Wave” pv showed that she was really suited to that kind of style, LinLin because she’s full of goofy energy and can fill the ‘foreigner’ role left by Mika, Mai and Momoko both because they’re tiny and have high pitched cutesy little voices. It’s perfect. You know what, forget singing old minimoni songs. Let’s reform Minimoni with these girls right now! I really think they would be great at it. Maybe shoot some footage of Mari giving them advice on what Minimoni is all about or something, and they’re good to go!

Crazy about You- Sayu, Eri, Reina
Speaking of Minimoni, here’s another of their songs I’m really fond of. This one isn’t for my “New Minimoni” group though, because it’s more mature, and I want them to reflect the childish side of things. I love it when generations sing all together, I think this song is within the range that Sayu is capable of, I think it would work well with 6th gen’s image, and I want to see it because I really like this song’s dance.

Be Happy Koi no Yajirobee- All h!p kids

Another song we don’t see much of. It’s a little too simple melodically for the older h!p groups, but I think it would be well suited to the kids. It’s nice and light and bouncy, and the weaker singers of the group can be put on the rap parts.

Iroppoi Jirettai- All of VUDen, Reina, Ai-chan, JunJun, Mari, Risa, Ayaka (Maki were she still around)
The idea here is simple. Take one of the sexiest songs in the Hello Project arsenal, and have its sexiest members sing it. It would be HOT. Plus, isn’t it about time this song was performed again?

Ai araba It’s All Right- current MM
So this isn’t actually a shuffle, but it reflects the fact that Ai Araba seems to have become a song that only h!p kids can sing, and I want to see it return home. This is one of my favorite, if not my very favorite song from MM, and I want to see the current group perform it. They seem to have eased up on the super mature image a bit with Mikan, so I see know reason why they couldn’t sing this again.

That’s all for now! There are more things I’d like to see, but this is getting pretty long. In fact, let’s go ahead and make this a running feature! Yay new features!!!
