I love Mezase Superlady. Mori-sensei writes the lyrics, which change every year as members graduate and transfer in. He always manages to hit the nail on the head with each member’s verse and just get it right. And, because Mori is evil, he likes to put tongue-twisters in there too to make it harder to sing.
FYI, there is an interview with Mori after the first time he saw the girls as Babymetal perform in concert. I believe it was after a Tokyo Dome performance. Not going to do a spoiler, but he said some things that were surprising and some things that underlined how much he cared for them.
Yeah, saw that and it was great. And the best thing was that I saw it right after a video about the backside of Japan's idol industry how lots of girls are given big hopes but are literally screwed up by the companies so it was really heart warming to hear sensei Mori
Just watched. Thanks for the heads up on this one. Hadn't seen it before. Great interview. Love how he refers to Su as Nakamoto. Always the Sensei. Peace
🌸 🏫 Mori-sensei (Mori Hayashi) updated the lyrics for this song each year as older members graduated and new members "transferred in". Of course the more familiar you are with each member, the funnier the lines of this song are. : )
YES! KEEP WATCHING THEIR OTHER YEARS!!! Seriously, the following Nendos are even more fun imo. Class of 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018. Some of the best Sakura Gakuin years.
06:23 The term "shogyōmujō" (諸行無常) is hard to translate but it means that all things are in constant change and nothing lasts forever, it means the impermanence of worldly things and that existance itself is transitory. It's a buddhist term. Then they say "polish our joshi-ryoku", that one is easy, "joshi" (女子) means "girl" and "ryoku" (力) means "power".
This song changes every year as new girls were added to Sakura Gakuin. Mori Sensei writes the lyrics; and in later years there are some jokes about certain girls not liking what he wrote for them. In one extreme case this resulted in murder. One thing that always strikes me about this version of the song is that Mariri Sugimoto (the very tall and very pretty girl who takes the dangerous journey back to Hiroshima) is actually a year younger than Yui and Moa here. Once again, I urge you to continue all the way with Sakura Gakuin. There is just so much to love and enjoy about all these wonderful young ladies.
Hiroshima to Tokyo is around 4h with the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) or ~800 km according to Google. It's definitely not a ride you want to take a few times a week. Su moved to Tokyo in her second Sakura Gakuin year I think, with her sister (who was also a pretty famous idol) and her mother, but Mariri never moved while in SG, if I remember correctly (she was only one year in SG and graduated before entering middle school). The lyrics change every year because of new members, but even the ones who are already in the group get their lyrics changed almost every year. 2012 was the first Mezase Super Lady, so you can image it only got funnier in the coming years, especially the ones after Moa and Yui graduated because Mori-sensei had way more opportunities and time to get to know the funny and unconventional traits of the members with the weekly show he hosts for them.
As someone else explained, this is their introduction song. They usually perform this as their first song during concerts and it's written by Mori Sensei with a little bit about each member. Since they change members every year, there are 8 versions of this song, one for every year from 2012 to 2019. We expect there to be another version when they release their last album in a few months. There is a massive compilation out there with every verse from every version all mashed into a 21 minute video. It's a great way to learn about almost all of the members. Sadly the first version of this song was made after the first 3 members graduated in 2011.
Shogyo-mujo means unusual and Joshi-ryoku means Girl Power. In the complete lyric they are describing their charm points as gaps between each other's unusual (unique) appearances and using their girl power to become Super Ladies.
@@_Gato.Negro_ ok ok...not "unusual"... more like... life's changes during youth. Transitory life. Constant change. PUBERTY, ok! It's talking about puberty! It's a hard translation to explain in English terms. Freaking Japanese!!!!! Grrrr!!😆
@@_Gato.Negro_ I think "shogyomujo" has been used to explain why Japanese people love sakura (cherry blossom) so much. We appreciate beauty, youth, and other things more when we realize they aren't forever.
@@rickwagner- Ah the older translators when [?] was something that was half the translations or the idiot who purposely misrepresented the grades of the girls to sound like an American school.
Remember, SG is not a school, and Mori Hayashi is not a teacher! SG is an idol group with a school concept and Mori is actually an actor (but surely the girls learned from him, so he can be regarded as "sensei"). I believe Mori is a srceen writer too (correct me if I'm wrong). But yes, we love him cuz he does a great job! Fun fact: there is a meme about Yunano Notsu that states that Notsu is NOT SU...
Personally Mezase Super Lady! 2018 and 2019 were the best versions. Yume Nozaki has the best self introductions ever. I hope someday you will watch some of the Newer Nendos such as My Road, or Carry On.
@@rickwagner- Talking about her introductions during Mezase. Where she introduces herself and who each SG girl is to her, Soyo her dad, Marin her mom, Yuzu her pet, Kano her boyfriend.
8:12 Tokyo to Hiroshima is 504 miles by road (9hrs 50min), or 3hr 54min by train according to google. Yeah, quite the journey for an early teen, alone.
"Our charming points are [the] gaps between [our] inner faces and appearances" This is a very deep (and very Japanese) sentiment. They're basically saying that a girl's greatest allure are the things she hides just out of sight from others. Japanese people are culturally and almost pathologically two-faced. They have their outer face (called tatemae) which is the face; the appearance that they display to others. And their inner face (called honne), which is what they truly feel inside. Forming a relationship with someone in Japan means getting to know their 'honne' as it's something that's rarely shown to others. Femininity in Japan and being a "lady" means possessing this gap. The ideal Japanese woman possesses an aire of mystery, and therefore an appeal where you want to get to know her. That's basically what they're expressing.
Sorry for Spanish: Existen 10 versiones distintas de ésta canción: *Mesaze Super Lady* pues cada album de *Sakura Gakuin* comienza con ésta canción, presentando a cada una de las integrantes de cada *Nendo*
You guys should also put the petition link in your description section as well of this youtube video. I actually don't have you on discord as I don't really use discord. I really want to sign the petition, so I had to go on the internets and search it out because I think Sakura Gakuin is actually a very important thing to continue. Not only because they created Babymetal, but because the morals, standards, and confidence that this school instills in its young ladies is something that is VERY much needed in this day and age. With all the politicalization going on in the schools, I think it is a breath of fresh air to see this school focus solely on developing these young women into the dreams and aspirations they are striving for, but do it in a fun and enjoyable way. These girls work their tails off, but they also seem to really enjoy it at the same time. This school is needed everywhere in my opinion. To shut it down would be a huge mistake.
This song is pure fun, and everyone got to shine a bit, even Mori-sensei. I agree with you two, Mori-sensei is very funny, i remember having some fun teachers back in my days at school when i was at the age they were in this video, that kind of teacher always stay in your memory XD About traveling from Hiroshima, it is indeed far, Hiroshima is on the south of Japan, and Amuse studios are in Tokyo, that is kind of on the midle between north and south of the country. If i'm not wrong, the trip between Tokyo and Osaka via "Shinkansen", the bullet train, is around 2 hours and 30 minutes, and, in a straight line, Osaka is a bit after halfway from Tokyo to Hiroshima so i think the trip from Hiroshima to Tokyo is probably over 3h, even by shinkansen, and those trains usually move at around 270-320km/h. I'm not sure how it worked for them, how many days of the week they needed to go to Tokyo, as they were also still attending to their regular schools.
Su stayed over in the Amuse dorms quite often, so it wasn’t a daily trip. Still quite a commitment. Once Su’s sister Himeka joined Nogizaka46, Su, Himeka and their Mom moved to the Tokyo area.
@@rickwagner- Ah yes, i imagined that could be something like this indeed, she using some dorms in Tokyo at least few times of the week, and for a 12 years old kid, it is a lot indeed.
"syogyoumujou"means that everything is fickle.It is old word.We know this word in "Heike's story". It is old story .about 900 years ago. Heike(Samurai family) were top of Japan.But they were beaten by Genji(another Samurai family) I'm not good at English. Do you know what I mean? from Japan.
where's the link to sign the petition? Althou i don't really think that will work on japanese media, but anyway... A lot of fun here for sure and there's a short clip showing signs of Yui-chan getting angry or mad everytime she show her fist or close her hand tightly to do the fist and on this one you can clearly see she's pissed when she shout "she's not short" lol UwU
I'd love to sign in with my RUclips account and donate, but giving total control of my account to your collection service doesn't trip my trigger. Some other way?
Guys, no more Epica? I think you should listen to something from their debut album. It was really beautiful. Simone Simons is now 36 but in this video she was just 19 . Listen to that voice: ruclips.net/video/e77tLfkiVn8/видео.html

Great song, normally the start their shows with it. 2012 is still my favorite version of Mezase Super Lady.
It's a Band of Sisters. Their names are attached no matter what.
I've been waiting for a long time. Your reaction at Sakura Gakuin is really fun.
Please continue to dig deeper and deeper.
Oh man, Yui's adorableness brutally slayed Mags. That was a joy to see 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
there´s so much positivity in this song.. I can´t stop smiling :D AND YES!! Yui.. you´re short.. but also very cute, so it´s ok :D

I know Suzuka went by air lots of times as well.
yow. guys , koba metal just created an instagram account. I hope Su and Moa too.

"Shogyōmujō" doesn't mean "Unusual", it's a term a lot more complex than that. I don't even understand why they use it in that part of the lyrics. 😅
@@_Gato.Negro_ ok ok...not "unusual"... more like... life's changes during youth. Transitory life. Constant change. PUBERTY, ok! It's talking about puberty! It's a hard translation to explain in English terms. Freaking Japanese!!!!! Grrrr!!😆
hmmmm its very hard to put into english easily. Maybe something like, "nothing is forever" would be closest.
@@Ari_Pico Yeah! That's it!
@@_Gato.Negro_ I think "shogyomujo" has been used to explain why Japanese people love sakura (cherry blossom) so much. We appreciate beauty, youth, and other things more when we realize they aren't forever.
To answer you question at 6:30, joshi ryoku translates to girl power.
The whole line is "watch our girl power", or "see us polish our feminine abilities".
@@rickwagner- Ah the older translators when [?] was something that was half the translations or the idiot who purposely misrepresented the grades of the girls to sound like an American school.
@@jason7120 I like how Mori-sen still teases the graduates about refining their feminine power.

Yes, screen writers too. Probably his main thing next to SG.
unlimited talent
one of the goal Sakura Gakuin is to become " Super Ladies " and now Su , Yui and Moa has become beyond Super Ladies.
Personally Mezase Super Lady! 2018 and 2019 were the best versions. Yume Nozaki has the best self introductions ever.
I hope someday you will watch some of the Newer Nendos such as My Road, or Carry On.
Yume is an all-star. She did two different self introductions at her transfer-in ceremony.
Apparently she had a bunch more ready to go. : )
@@rickwagner- Talking about her introductions during Mezase. Where she introduces herself and who each SG girl is to her, Soyo her dad, Marin her mom, Yuzu her pet, Kano her boyfriend.
OOPS!! Forgot Mori wrote all of the classroom scripts for Sakura Gakin.
Finally ! I think you're the first channel to react to this. I always wondered why BM/SG followers hadn't reacted to this.. Love it !

Someone send LVT and Magz Mori's podcast/interview of when he went to see Babymetal at the Tokyo Dome for the first time!!!!
Yea Hiroshima is Hella far from Tokyo. It's like 500 miles. I can't imagine making that trek to and from every day. 1 thousand miles a day?
Nice reaction, thanks!
Moa's "unique" charm points are absolutely hilarious. Did you get them?
Hana with that Rainmaker pose. I just realise she's being doing it every year.
and she always flick her hair on the "mezase, want to be a superlady now" line
