  • translation of majima's karaoke song from yakuza kiwami 2, with some consulting from my pal @faerytells on twitter.
    im quite rusty, so i was unsure of how exactly i should interpret some parts/the translation might be a bit weird in some places (notably like the entire 大統領?社長?お偉いさん? stanza i had a hard time understanding) and i took some liberties with the wording to make it flow a bit nicer. feel free to make suggestions and i'll correct any mistakes via annotation. full lyrics below!
    THIS FAN TRANSLATION IS PURELY MEANT TO BE USED AS A REFERENCE. ALL RIGHTS TO THE YAKUZA SERIES BELONG TO SEGA AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
    --
    If I could shape the world
    In any way I wanted
    And if I could craft myself a harem paradise
    I'd let it all go, because you'd be unhappy
    And if I wind up on a rice cracker-like bed
    Resting on a pillow hard as a tombstone
    in a musty den out in the sticks,
    It's okay, as long as I know you've found happiness
    No matter how cruel and merciless
    the hell I'm thrust into is,
    it'll be a thousand times better than seeing you sad!
    If you're happy, then so am I; I don't mind!
    There may be sadness, and some may hate me, but bring it!
    If you're happy, if you're happy, it's alright!
    So, hey, wipe off those tears
    If you're happy, so am I; it's really okay!
    Your being sad is such a waste of your rare beauty!
    If you're happy, if you're happy, I really don't mind!
    With my everything, I'll pray and pray for you
    I love you, I love you
    I won't even say, "Please don't forget me"
    I love you, I love you
    All I want is for you to be happy into tomorrow
    I'll die for you
    And I won't be afraid of anythin'
    But if you're lonely, I'll come back
    No... I'll come back a hundred times over!
    If you're living, then I am too; I don't mind!
    Your joy, your smile, come to me!
    If you're living, if you're living,
    If you're living, it's okay!
    One more time let's go back to that house
    If you're living, then I am too; I don't mind!
    You don't need makeup or anything; you're beautiful!
    If you're living, if you're living,
    I really don't mind!
    I'll fight again and again for you
    I love you, I love you
    I don't need money, pride, or anything of the sort
    I love you, I love you
    All I want is for you to laugh and live into tomorrow
    If you're happy, then so am I; I don't mind!
    There may be sadness, and some may hate me, but bring it!
    If you're happy, if you're happy, it's alright!
    So, hey, wipe off those tears
    If you're happy, so am I; it's really okay!
    Your being sad is such a waste of your rare beauty!
    If you're happy, if you're happy, I really don't mind!
    With my everything, I'll pray and pray for you
    If you're happy... If--If you're happy
    I really don't mind! It's okay!!
    A President? A CEO? Some big shot?
    What are you even supposed to do with that?
    Anyway, what do you do?
    What do you say to who?
    What are you supposed to do in this world?
    Have conviction? Is that it?
    You should be happy
    To live with happiness, with laughter, with a smile;
    That much is okay
    That much--that much is okay
    That's my... yeah, that's my happiness
    I love you, I love you
    "Don't forget me--please don't forget me!"
    ...Are words I really want to say
    But, it doesn't really matter
    If you forget me, I won't mind
    Because tomorrow you'll smile
    Always, always and forever,
    You'll be living, and smiling
    I love you, I love you
    I won't even say, "Please don't forget me"
    I love you, I love you
    All I want is for you to be happy into tomorrow
    For you to be happy, forever and ever

  • @rusticgiraffe4262
    @rusticgiraffe4262 2 года назад +723

    I just realized that Majima is the very essence of Yakuza, the game I mean. He’s loud, obnoxious, cheerful, and likes to fight so much that he’s willing to go to absolutely ridiculous length to do so, but at his very core he is an incredibly tragic and emotional man with deep, complicated history who’s lost everything he’s ever loved to organized crime.
    Because no matter how ridiculous the substories are, no matter how over the top the fighting is, no matter how out of place the colorful mini games are, Yakuza is and always will be a serious crime drama at heart.

    What's even worse is knowing that Makoto spent how many god damn years in Sotenbori for the sole purpose of meeting Majima again. She stayed in the same town Lee died, where her big brother died, where she was kidnapped and sold into slavery...
    Sotenbori is a place that holds many painful (understatement) memories, but for Makoto, Majima's short presence in her life made that town worth living in. Even for the slim chance of meeting him again. She was right there, waiting for him.

      I think that's when Majima realizes what he did saddled her with regrets, kind of like how Sera said at the end of 0. He did what he thought would protect her, but ended up this unfulfilled desire of hers. Thus, after seeing her again, he decides to send her the gift of the original watch band, to let her know that she met him again and release her from the last bit of sadness in her life.

    What i love about this song, something that sets it apart from Majima's other songs where he purposely sounds off key and screetchy, given the lyrics and how downplayed his screetching and off tuneness can be at times, everything seems much more soulful, less comedic, it seems like Majima's facade of wacky Zanyness is really starting to break and we can see the sorrow and heartfulness behind it, and his voice cracks seem so genuine and emotional, it's hard not to get invested in it, and to top it all off, there are genuine parts of the song where, even if briefly, Majima will actually sing on tune, it just shows, Majima really really loved Makoto, with all of his heart, so much so, that even if it brought him nothing but pain to be without her, he does it, because he just wants to see her happy. FUCK, man! Majima, i love you so fucking much, WHY CAN'T THEY LET YOU BE HAPPY!?

    I actually imagine Majima just singing this song casually, then little by little, all the pent up memories of Makoto that he had since the beginning of Yakuza 0 up to their last scene in Yakuza 2, just piles up one by one, relieving each memories as the song goes and suddenly just...burst!
    This isn't just a song, this is Majima's tribute, anthem and feelings for Makoto put together all in one emotional song.
    All these are Majima's feelings etched forever in everyone's heart as a form of a song for his biggest "what if" and for the best love story that he never had.

All the lyrics will resonate with her buried feelings for Majima and she'll feel that somehow, the song was made for her. Tears will fall down her cheeks and she'll reminisce on how Majima too, is her biggest "what if" and the best love story that she never had.

    ただでさえ辛い人生を送ってきて、更に覚えもない理由で命を狙われて、とても生き残れるとは思えなかったマコトの涙を何度も見てきたことを思えば「生きてるなら、幸せに笑顔で生きていられるなら…」って思ってしまうよなあ…本当は忘れないでくれっていいたいんやー!

    The fact that this is the only song which mad-dog Majima sings seriously shows that he isn't singing this song for a sake of singing karaoke like a normal person.

    The fact that he starts the song off so ridiculous only to begin thinking about makoto is so genuinely wholesome. He starts having fun and being goofy, but by the time he gets to “I love you” he sings it in tune and sings it so genuinely. Like even though he’s trying to be screechy and funny, he can’t hide that he’s about to start crying so instead of hiding it, he just gives in and puts everything into the performance. WHY CAN’T THE YAKUZA MAIN CHARACTERS JUST BE HAPPY FOR ONCE, AHHHHH

    Man, coming back to this song after being put in the same situation as Majima, aka where you just want that certain someone else to be happy, even if she's without you just hits so differently, it's soul crushing.

    This song applies to me today, as the person I really really loved told me she had a new boyfriend. I literally tried to control my thoughts like majima- if she’s happy I’m happy. I don’t want to see her with her boyfriend as it will kill me inside.

      Man, me too. My crush whom I admire for 3 years now revealed about how he had a crush on a specific cute gal directly (he named her) to me a few months ago, I feel empty after he said it. I'm not sure how is he now, but I hope he's happy. Although, seeing him with another girl will probably makes my heart goes aching again on the inside. It's just gonna be full of regret and what ifs... I hope time heals yours, Aniki.
