English translation (made to sing along): Always running in a hurry Easygoing Why don't you go rest a moment When this is over? You'll surely stumble Across a riddle Ducktales Your head's way up in the clouds Ducktales There's nothing that's impossible Ducktales W-W-Wait a minute! Watch yourself there Hey, who are you? You big scoundrel Have a dream all through the night Ducktales Mischievous happy-go-lucky Ducktales You know what you have to do Ducktales An adventure that never stops Ducktales
Hence why I ask if they can read their own alphabet. Regardless, with all the loan words from english the Japanese language has, they should be able to slightly understand what the words are meant to sound like. Anyway, not that big of a deal.
@ImagoCanis Even with the katakana alphabets in front of you, there are some words which are just painfully hard to decipher. You'll understand what I mean if you've ever studied katakana.
Same goes for a native JP speaker trying to pronounce an English loan word. Sometimes if it's a word you've never seen before (and especially if you don't know the meaning of the word), you just have to hazard a guess at its pronunciation.
I've studied all three of the alphabets. That's why I said this. Not to mention I have a few friends from Japan (Okinawa; one of the prefectures least fluent in English) who, to me, sound fairly normal when they speak English. o____o
@ImagoCanis You know, for Japanese people English is a hard language. They can't pronounce all words so that we could really understand them. Try to speak Japanese yourself, I can tell you that it is not so easy after all.
Kirakuni suupashire it*su*de*mo koge tara nekorobe ba ii*jya*na*ii tsumazuita nazo nazo sa DUCKTALES! Rakuchin atama de DUCKTALES! muri shichau dame da yo DUCKTALES! cho-cho-cho- chotto! Goyoujin anta dare? kanjin tetsuya de yume mite DUCKTALES! wanpaku gokuraku DUCKTALES! shiritai yaritai DUCKTALES! tomaranai bouken DUCKTALES! - In case anyone wants to sing to it.
Now see, they keep the tune of our theme songs and just change the lyrics to their language, while english releases of anime either leave it in japanese, or make it a completely new song. Why can't we do this?
I don't understand what you're saying, but im gonna take an educated guess that you don't like Japanese songs are turned into English... which rarely happens. The only examples I can think of are Sailor Moon and One Piece and they both sound fine to me. Every other anime either uses the japanese theme song, or just makes a brand new one with their own english Lyrics. ( We did get the awesome openings to pokemon and Dragonball Z this way though, so that's cool I guess... )
True that :) Where I come from, DBZ wasn't well known in the 80s, only in the late 90s. To me tmnt, ghostbusters and thundercats defined the 80s along with some other familiar shows.
@Kennymacdougall I see your from netherlands to. I never saw Dragon Ball on television only DBZ on television and yes I like the Japanese humor to of DB/Z they are very different compared with other nations.
@nlRobertnl DB was only in US, too bad it was never here. Yeah, Japanese humor is amazingly funny. What other Japanese shows do you watch? Man, I got to learn some of that language.
@Kennymacdougall Just DB,DBZ and DBGT altought I not really liked DBGT other Japannese animes I don't know but man o man They have some nice skills and humor:)
i love Duck Tales! I think it's so much more epic watching it in Japanese. So, haters can hate, ignorants too, but Japanese is the best version of anything Disney. :3 Japan + Disney = EPIC Disney!! (and <3)
@kUr0k0chan agreed, but american cartoons are mostly aimed towards the really young where as anime caters to older children/adults as well. Haven't watched it myself in japanese yet, but the lyrics are not quite the accurate translation.
loved the never-ending/never-stopping adventure at the end though :)
@videokolya haha, no; they were just keeping a phrase in engligh. That is an often and popular thing to do. Many hit Japanese songs have English lines in them; some are all in English or have English versions. HYDE is a perfect example of this.
as much as i love the fact that the japanese got to enjoy this classic i think they needed a better singer it sounds like they taught a motown singer japanese for it
I really like it how Japan actually kept to the song lyrics ( or as close as a translations as they could) and kept the beginning opening the same, instead of completely redoing the whole theme. Not like what they're doing now to some subs.
Then again, the US has rewritten beginning themes too to some Japanese shows. ;)
