Honestly, this song makes me very excited for Nina’s PV to come out. Nina’s profile stated that she dislikes herself and her cowardice, but her genuine and heartfelt love really shine throughout her song. She’s very cute! While I heard this, my first thought was. “Oh. This is basically going to end like Luz’s Angelfish. Where she stabs her loved one to have him to herself.” (Her profile states her hobby is to collect knives 😭 Like… if that’s not a dead giveaway, I’m not sure what else is.) But after thinking about it. I wonder if just like the original little mermaid, she will be unable to go through with it, jumping into the water to become seafoam. There’s a part later on where you translated it as “The girl begins to forget, that fairy tales seem possible.” I’m curious if she will jump in the water after being unable to kill him, and Prince Albert, (who might not even know of her existence before that moment.) will jump in after her. Making her feel like a princess in a fairy tale in that moment alone, as they both die. I’m just really speculating what might potentially happen in the PV at this point. I might be so far off that it’s not even funny. Lmao. I can see Prince Albert being gentle enough to try and save some young girl. But maybe she just stabs him anyway, who knows. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m excited to see what will be released after anti-queen of hearts. Nina, I will be there for your mermaid theater. 😢❤ Thank for your hard work and translating this song!
Oh my god that is very interesting and could really happen. What if they both jumped. There is this really old anime about Little Mermaid I watched when I was a kid and I remembered they both jumped into the sea and hugged each other like that too 😭
My theory is that "Mermaid Theater" is from the 'original timeline' were Alicia(Chelsea) grew as the daughter of the actress Lorena: Is possible Nina saved Albert like in the fairytale & was going to call help, but Alicia (here her role is the 'human princess') found him alone in the beach so he belived she was the one that saved him & start to court her (in Anti-Queen there a memory of Lorena watching Alicia dancing with Albert), so either Nina try to kill Albert or Albert understand Nina is the one that saved him & jump to save her... 🤔
@@Rea_no_KuniUnfortunately that seems unlikely as I believe it was mentioned in the live tour concert that Nina goes to same same ball that Albert invites Chelsea to in Bittersweet. (?) That and in the original timeline Albert marries Chelsea, so unless Albert really went “yolo im going to marry Chelsea anyway lol!!!!” It’s probably not the same universe. But you are free to come back here and rub it in my face if i’m wrong when the PV comes out LOL. My (delusional) assumption for now is somewhat on par with yours however: >Nina saves Albert, albert who is waking up, can’t properly see the face of the person who saved him, but hears her voice > Nina flounders around Albert, too shy to interact with him, watching him from the sidelines and is “unable to raise her voice” >Albert meets Chelsea in Bittersweet, is enchanted by her voice which reminds him of the voice from when he was saved and falls in love immediately > Albert invites Chelsea to the ball. Nina gets the confidence to face Albert and go to his ball >Nina sees Albert with Chelsea, loses her will to live and decides to end her life by drowning >Albert recognizes (???) nina and jumps after her when she jumps The knife collecting honestly might be a red herring. (Or not at all. Lol.) overall I think you and I are on the same wavelength on what might happen in the PV. We could end up being really wrong though. 😭 We will have to wait and see.
@@NAMI-kr4cy Sincerelly I discovered Nina recently so I'm just picking all my info from the videos & comment of other... 😅 All my theory is based on the fact that Nina is the "Little Mermaid" of her story, Albert her prince & Chelsea the "human princess"...
In Chesire Games we saw Alicia alone with Albert's clothes just there. I speculate its the other way around. Alicia became queen but the one who got Albert is Nina@Rea_no_Kuni
Kenapa ya lore-lore tambahan Royal Scandal ini suka banget ditaroh di lagu-lagu yang nggak ada MV-nya. Kayak lagunya mereka Once Upon a Time itu 😭😭 ALSO SUKA BANGET SAMA LAGU INI?? KAYAK LIRIKNYA YEARNING BGT AAAAA INGIN LIHAT NINA
hi!! thank you for the work you put into translating this song 🫶🫶 though I do have one question, in translation note 7 you mentioned albert being the one nina’s in love with and i was a bit confused because i hadn’t even heard about it before. so i just wanted to ask like if it’s canonical or if you put two and two together since albert is a prince and stuff.
Mostly a theory but with believable proofs. In Magic Ring Night there is a newspaper. The title is "Prince Albert Is Missing" with a ship as the picture and "Little Atlantis" bellow it. So I think it's safe to assume that's when Nina met Albert for the first time. He went missing cuz he drown and Nina saved him like in Little Mermaid, or something similar like that. Then when Nina went to see the prince after dressing herself up, it is said that the prince is captivated by a beauty resembling coral. Coral is pretty much associated with the colour pink so I assume that beauty would be Chelsea. Then that scene would be Bittersweet when Chelsea is brought by Albert to sing at a party. However now it's from Nina's perspective. Also one more tiny thing. Probably just me looking into it too much though. Both Bittersweet and Mermaid Theater protag refers themselves as "greedy" nearing the end of the song, using the same kanji 強欲. So I really think the prince mentioned in this song is really Albert. Since so far he's the only one connected with mermaid's theme (ship, atlantis). Edit : Of course, for it to be canon we still need the MV 😭
@@mitsua2411 oh yeah I guess that makes sense!! I honestly just thought it was because albert is a prince and the little mermaid was also in love with a prince 😭 thanks for the explanation!!
NINAAA CINTA TIDAK SELAMANYA INDAH NINAAAA /hj pls mana umurnya nina 15 tahun kinda accurate sama kyk ariel... abg baru kenal cinta cintaan T-T jokes aside, ga sabar liat mv nya ahsbdksjndkjask
I discovered this song from the official website, and didn't know about the existence of character. Is there an mv for this song?? Cuz I can't find it anywhere
@@_cherry_bloom_ The song is from 777 (Three Seven) album by Royal Scandal, but sadly no MV. The first time we saw/knew the existence of this character is in the 2022 live concert. The illustration of Nina on the thumbnail is shared publicly for the first time by the official account like 10 days after I posted this video (that's why I didn't use it on the video lol only the album pic). There is a short description of her on the official twitter account and character page on the website that's all we know about her. Though from the song we can at least theorize about her story.
