My kanji is terrible; do you think maybe you could give me the hiragana or romanji for Usagino's first lines? The voice, though adorable, kind of goes right over my head at the very beginning D:
At the beginning the rabbit says "lets get this over with quick, so we can go eat". Bear says "yeah". Rabbit says "Let's go".
Most of the rest of the lyrics are "isogabamaware" which is almost like the proverb haste makes waste. On the grass they're talking about relaxing, and going slow. Rushing is bad. After the song the rabbit says "perfect".
Very nice clip. I think you should submit it to cartoon and film festivals such as Animamundi, Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema, International Animation Festival Hiroshima or the London Cartoon Festival
"Walk Don't run" is the original name of the song by The Ventures. U900 covered it with Ukulele and some Japanese lyrics. Seems like a lot of people here don't get that. Come on people, I thought The Ventures is a fairly well known band and this song is their most well known hit...
Yeah. Thanks. I should read titles, shouldn't I? BTW listen to The Ventures doing this song. Awesome. "Surf Guitar" is a style from before my time, but I know a classic when I hear it (even if I can't remember - or read - duh - what it is.) Thanks. I love this on ukulele. Got me one in Hilo.
i think it means "no haste" =)

Rough dialogue -
Usagino: So, if we finish early let's go have something to eat. (さ、早く終わるして何か食べにいこう。)
Kumano:Allright.
(そうだね。)
Isogaba maware (急がば回れ) = If hurried, go around (exp: slow and steady wins the race).
Ending:
Usagino: Nailed it!
(完璧 kanpeki =flawless)

Yeah, as far as I can make out it's: 'sa, hayaku owaru shite nanka tabe ni ikou.'
afterwards he (she/it?) also says 'ikimasu yo / 行きますよ.' or 'We're going!' (effectively 'Let's go!')

yukkuri [mattari] (ゆっくり [まったり]) = slowly [laid back]

The ukulele version is good; it's relaxed, laid back and cheerful, then the Japanese vocals come along and destroy it completely.

Found this online: "Isogabamaware" translates roughly to "less haste, more speed". Not quite the same as "Walk Don't Run", but close.
