    Something I love when English cover artists do is when they write the translyrics to have the same kind of sounds as in the Japanese version. Like how 'dare da' and 'shut it up' end in the same kind of 'a' sound. It makes it sound closer to the original and it's so satisfying to me, but real tricky to pull off while still keeping the meaning. There's a lot of that in this and I love it sm.

      Bread Box is an absolute god at writing translyrics. Definitely listen to Will Stetson''s other tracks if you like the lyrics in this one as they work together a lot for his covers. The incredible translyrics from usually either Bread Box or Sayri combined with Will's musicianship and how he approaches the harmonies, mixing and layering of his vocals make these covers truly special and are everything translated songs should be - faithful to the original but with flair to make it their own.

      my problem is that this cover misses a lot of the actual meaning of the original song because it takes so many liberties with its translation like it's not
      a heart, embark, a beautiful star
      it should be
      hard work, future, a beautiful star
      one sounds like denji seeking for romance while the more correct translation is more about denji seeking a brighter future through the effort he puts into life

      I think it's important to think of it from the perspective of the whole song rather than approaching it line-by-line. Not being focused on being line to line accurate is a crucial part of being able to convey feeling and meaning through the translated lyrics, and it is an advantage that a production like Will's can abuse because there is nothing it has to match in real time.
      For example, when subtitling an anime, the intonation, line length and pace have to be matched line to line because you can hear the voice acting at the same time and if you can't match their energy, it reads awkwardly and becomes a disjointed experience for the viewer. This is why you can't simply copy a translated script for your English dub - the script is intended to be read alongside the visuals and was never meant to stand by itself.
      Translyrics for a cover like this *have* to be able to stand by themselves or they cannot be felt. And in order to do that, sometimes you have to prioritise the lyrics part over the translation part.
      So instead of saying its wrong, let's approach this line as a lyric rather than as a sentence and try and figure out what Bread Box was attempting to do. There is more to a lyric than its literal meaning as a word, and I think that's what's been prioritsed here. The flow of the word heart into embark is here to match the flow of doryoku into mirai from the original. The way Kenshi Yonezu omits the "u" sound at the end of doryoku and sort of slurs his way through mirai are what make these two words flow together. If pronounced properly, they sound... odd. It's this flow that makes the original catchy - and a hook that's repeated over 20 times in a song has to be catchy. So what we've translated here is not meaning, it's the flow. We are writing lyrics at the end of the day, not a script. These have to be sung and it has to be a good song.
      To bring this back to the start of my point, has anything been lost in the meaning of the song's lyrics by approaching the hook in this way? I'd argue absolutely not. To Denji, being able to claim Makima's heart would in itself be because of effort and doryoku in his pursuit. One of his biggest motivations is romance... albeit his own strange definition of it. Do you still feel this from the rest of the song? Has the meaning of the song really been changed or lost due to this one line? And if we haven't lost the meaning of the complete song and we've conveyed it in English, doesn't that make this a successful translation? And if we have a banging hook that gets in your head and words that can be sung in a way that naturally matches the composition, haven't we succeeded at making a good set of lyrics? It doesn't have to match line-to-line to achieve either of these things.
      Sorry for the rant, I just want to get across that translation does not have to be literal to be good. Translation, and especially translyric writing, is an artistic process where right and wrong is hard to define. It's an English version of the song and not an English translation of the song at the end of the day. Play in the grays of artistic expression and create something that empowers the original while putting your own spin on it - that's what covers are all about.

      It may be a reference to the common phrase, "embark for a brand new start." You could even argue the "embark, beautiful star" is meant to be a play on words, as it can be misheard as "embark the beautiful start." So the chorus does keep the original meaning of “future,” but with different phrasing.

    This translation is really wonderful because it focuses on the emotional aspect of the original song and people who listen to it will likely never realize that the original had very subtle, unapologetic, sexual tones to reflect the tone of the show itself. "Happy" and "Lucky" often referring subtly to sexual indulgence and the original lyrics switching between yearning for true fulfillment and settling for indulgent pleasure. Most of the analogies like "paradise" and "heaven" in the original song are intentionally perverted but in english translations like this, that's not only complicated but far more difficult to keep subtle. In a way, it's actually really nice to have a cover of this song that's so pure in it's emotion, too. I respect Will for playing this piece for us, and to whoever managed to translate and bring this work to us in the first place.

    Really impressive vocals and translation (yes ik Will didn’t translate this himself smh). The nuances in the original Japanese lyrics are impossible to translate over to English, (*) so the translation seems to put the focus on sounds, but anyway this sounds really satisfying, especially with Will’s aggressive singing voice.
    Examples for (*):
    「この手に掴みたい あなたのその胸の中」can mean both “I want to reach your heart” and “I want to touch your boobs”, the second meaning referring to Denji’s wishes at the start of CSM. However, unlike in Japanese, in English there’s not a catch-it-all expression for this, and as we can see , here the translation chose “heart” over “boobs”.
    「444 3で外れる炭酸水」is a reference to how vendor machines in Japan often works: whenever one purchases a drink, the machine will go into a game of lottery, and if 4 identical numbers appear on the screen you get another free drink of the same sort. So 4444 is an extra free drink, but 4443 as in the lyrics means you’re out of luck this time. In the translation, it seems no reference was made to this culture/practice, and it even added extra info “count up to three”.
    Finally I should clarify again, the purpose is not to criticize the translator, they did an incredible work, but there’s just too much information packed in the lyrics of Kick Back in its original form that when it is translated, a considerable amount of give and take is inevitable. With the above examples I intend to shed light upon this fact.

    • @JmonsterNEO

      @@Anna-pe7uk basically, a non-sequitur. If I understood right... Denji is a chaotic stupid good character. He barely passes off as Good or Brave, he's just there to serve his own selfish ideas, thus he only cares about a physical hunger rather a hunger for something greater.

      @woweman I don't exactly get what relevance what you're saying has to the line itself, some parts at least. But I think I am beginning to draw my own lines here, thanks to your explanation. "If paradise takes the good and the brave," if this relates to the perfect world Makima wants to create, then, "I'm starving anyway," relates to Denji admitting that he has no place in that world, because he's starving; as in he has selfish desires. And at the same time, it's an excuse as to why Denji decides to eat Makima and keep the world as it is; where can pursue what is greater, although it will never be as much as this 'paradise'.

    Love the cover. I love how despite the fact that Denji was never taught to tame his more primitive desires, he's still a simple guy at heart. He's happy to have a roof over his head and food to eat. That's what makes me like him as a character despite being his polar opposite in personality and values.

    • @arthurmorganSUN
      @arthurmorganSUN 4 месяца назад +11

      His desire, inherently, is not perverted. It is bases of curiosity and extreme wants to fulfill it. Remember when he DID think he touch Power's boobs, he pauses and got clueless. In the end, he's 16, he didn't actually know what he wanted and what he actually needed. In him, is a deeply troubled young man who grew up under the terror of heartless yakuza men and only accompanied by a dog that is a demon. He's wild and sometimes out of line, but you can't see actual malice from him. Even when his own supposed teammates wanted to kill him, he didn't go on rampage for revenge. He's not conventionally pure, but he's pure in a twisted way. If anyone watched and disliked ANY side of him, that could only mean they're illiterate and can't capture his essence of character.

The poor guy has had a horrible life and all of his current wants and selfishness are pretty dang justified. He didn't have a chance to date, he didn't have a chance to have fun, he didn't even have a chance to have bread with jam for God's sake! It makes total sense he'd be trying to live out all the fantasies he couldn't before.

      Although you might know, it's not yo yo yo in original, but yon yon yon san (4443), which is a reference for Japanese soda vending machines. Some have a little roulette game, where if you get 4 of the same numbers, you get a free soda. In this context, Denji missed free soda by one digit. This line connects with the lyrics with pronunciation pun.

    No clothes to fold up away is a lucky day
    Get scrubbing blast all the stains blood and grease I will wave bye bye
    Shut it up shut it up, voices in my head are clawing at the back of my brain
    Gimme one to take, let me pick the pace I sing in vain
    All I want is a better life
    Feel the light in my eyes
    Taking the hand at my side
    I'll reach and make it mine
    That sly heart beatiiing~
    SO bury me in pleasure
    Rest in peace we fall together
    The hell in wait just beneath the eyes we will find love in between the lines
    I love you so whatever
    Hate me take all that I treasure my honey~

    So far that I lose my bearings
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star

    Yo yo yo count up to three hear a sizzling
    So hungry always to be just a drink never fills my needs
    Throwing up throwing up
    Rain is never ending GOD oh let me hide away
    Gimme one to take
    Lemme pick the pace
    I'm not gonna wait
    Someone fill the space
    I'm dreaming of a better life oh,
    In comfort let me rest my eyes closed
    I'm tired of the rules we bide no
    I will burn all the world and its lies
    I'll reach and make it mine

    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    No clothes to fold up away is a lucky day
    Get scrubbing, blast all the stains
    Blood and grease, I will wave bye-bye
    Shut it up, shut it up, voices in my head are
    Clawing at the back of my brain
    Gimme one to take, lemme pick the pace
    I sing in vain
    All I want is a better life, feel the light in my eyes
    Taking the hand at my side, I'll reach and make it mine
    That sly heart beating
    So bury me in pleasure
    Rest in peace, we fall together
    The hell in wait just beneath the eyes
    We will find love in between the line
    I love you, so whatever
    Hate me, take all that I treasure, my honey
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    So far that I lose my bearings
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    Yo, yo, yo, count up to three, hear a sizzling
    So hungry, always to be, just a drink never fills my needs
    Throwing up, throwing up, rain is never-ending
    God, oh, let me hide away
    Gimme one to take, lemme pick the pace
    I'm not gonna wait, someone fill the space
    I'm dreaming of a better life
    Oh, in comfort let me rest my eyes closed
    I'm tired of the rules we bide
    No, I will burn all the world and its lies
    I'll reach and make it mine, that sly heart beating
    So bury me in pleasure
    Rest in peace, we fall together
    If our paradise only takes the good and the brave
    I'm starving anyway
    I love you, so whatevs
    Burn it red, take my treasure, my honey
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    So far that I lose my bearings
    Happy, lucky, now what are you seeing?
    I want to get your praise, how boring, what a waste
    Happy, lucky, now what are you seeing, so sweet?
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    So far it feels amazing
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star
    A heart, embark, a beautiful star

    I’m not trying to be rude but the actual lyrics are
    [Refrain]
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    [Verse 1]
    Laundromat's empty, must be my lucky day
    It's about time, I said bye-bye to this crud
    Who is it? Who's whispering in my head
    The greedy voices keep singing, begging for more
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I just want to be satisfied
    Doing the bare minimum
    I want to grab that heart of yours with my bare hands
    [Chorus]
    Let's fill it up with "happy," until we rest in peace
    That glimpse of hell isn't so bad
    Scatter it with love
    I love you, please humiliate me
    Rob me of my dignity and laugh my honey
    Grind, future, a bеautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a bеautiful star
    I think my screw's coming loose
    [Refrain]
    Striving, future, a beautiful star
    Striving, future, a beautiful star
    Striving, future, a beautiful star
    Striving, future, a beautiful star
    [Verse 2]
    4443, another opportunity lost
    I've been so hungry to the core, I could vomit
    "Rainy days never stay?" Hand over your umbrella
    Give me all of it, I want it all
    The more I crave, an empty void consumes me
    [Bridge]
    I just want to be satisfied
    Doing the bare minimum
    I want to sabotage it all
    Wipe it out clean
    Even that heart of yours
    [Chorus]
    Let's fill it up with luck, go until we rest in peace
    A heaven only for the righteous? That's no way to live
    I love you, please humiliate me
    Rob me of my dignity and laugh, my honey
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    I think my screw's coming loose
    [Post-Chorus]
    Happy, lucky
    How are you all?
    Upright and noble?
    That's boring
    Happy, lucky
    Hello there, baby, so sweet
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    Grind, future, a beautiful star
    I'm getting a kick out of it
    [Refrain]
