少年ナイフ - 重力無重力

[parasitezombiexx]

I love when they sing in Japanese so much.

[labanism]

I discovered shonen knife in 1995. They made me learn Japanese, guitar and fishing

[lajolla200]

Great song that should have gotten more airplay. I wonder why they never play this live?

[westscape2]

@lajolla200

They did at least once with Tomoko on bass.

Search youtube for 重力無重力

[lajolla200]

@westscape2 Found it. Sounds like poor Naoko had a cold or something.

[MASARU0717]

good!

like a ramons

[Shoknifeman]

mmmmmmmmmm urine in a glass!!!! ;)

[TomBom14]

@Shoknifeman The way it works is that one shoe is sown onto the pants and theres a hole in one of the pant legs so they just remove their foot from the shoe, put it through the hole in the pants, and stand on it so it makes it look like they're floating.

[tobbaddol]

I also want a magic drink that makes you hover 10 centimeters above the ground if you stand in front of a staircase.

[Naoko1960]

Naoko's Husband Atsushi Plays Bass on this song.

[38Avril]

There were also fine these days is the Japanese rock scene. Feel that the music had momentum. Now the band is so unique that I think is a shame really running low.

[independenzavideos]

so funny bublle pop 

[aloper072]

They should really be using those safety glasses around that colored water. ..haahh

[iloveshonenknife1]

Does anyone know what Etsuko is up to since she left the band?

If she is playing with another band please let me know.

[Shoknifeman]

@iloveshonenknife1 She is, but, I haven't any details

[Shoknifeman]

4:29 Naoko's daughter Emma :)

[dschager]

What is the name of the song and album (and where I can order it if possible)

Would be happy for this info. Regards /D

[Shoknifeman]

@dschager The album is fun fun fun, you can get it from Good Charamel Records in Buffalo, NY, unfortunately, it's only available on vinyl (unless you order from Japan) or you can upload it at GC record's website (They have a You Tube channel too).... I want it to be available on CD, Miyoko at GCR told me, if enough people ask, they will have the CDs made for North America...SO ASK, EVERYONE, get in touch with GCR and tell them you want it, NOW!!! Let's get FFF here, on CD!!!

[Shoknifeman]

@dschager oops the song is called "Gravity zero Gravity" 

[mintkitten]

Shone Knife Forever ~ <3

[Shoknifeman]

ohhh thats Emma .... Naoko's daughter at 4:29

[cingle2004jp]

It doesn't look so familiar but sound nice

[iloveshonenknife1]

Etsuko FOREVER!!!!

[kittyprydekissme]

They really should market that drink.

[mbyrr]

the original, the one and only :)

[fanfulladalodi79]

Oh...my ex girlfriend is a friend of the bassplayer!

[lajolla200]

jojiman1029's channel has videos of Etsuko's farewell and of the classy "memory album" they prepared for her in Osaka.

[ggrahamm17]

Enjoy watching Etsuko whili you can. As soon as they finish their current tour she is taking an indefinate break from the band. She says that this is for personal reasons and that she will definately be back.

[lajolla200]

Oh, Etsuko . . .

[pathduck]

Shonen Knife such a great band! Keep on rocking!

[KamenRiderNecro]

Such an uplifting song, no pun intended! It also has a surprisingly bittersweet feel to it for some odd reason. The Japanese lyrics add a lot of character, too. Etsuko looks great with long hair, did I mention? Probably my favorite SK song at the moment.

[fatcatbuzz]

The most beautiful band on this planet.

[cingle2004jp]

They moved ahead as scheduled

[Evilushka]

So sad about Mana, apparently she was an awesomely nice person who used to make the outfits and do kind things for ppl all the time. RIP sweetheart!

[Shoknifeman]

@Evilushka Yup; she was one of those sweet people who loved everyone and got the same in turn; sadly, as they say, the good die young!

[Eipk]

Shonen　knifeは英語の方が好き

[darknight9877]

I think so too. I really want to hear their broken japanese english.

[SteelCitySH]

how are they making things float like that?

[hottiledancer]

@SteelCitySH magic!!!

[Quadkite]

@hottiledancer No magic! SCIENCE! hehe

[grallaceandvomit]

best band in the world!

thanks naoko for this musik!

shonen knife 4 ever!

[SuperDapperdan]

this is gereat! I wnat more!

[skywalker74]

Those Girls are so good. They should sell millions and millions of CDs.

Buy Shonen Knife music!

[grallaceandvomit]

the only problem is, that they are not all avaible in germany!

if, they cost 3 times more than a normal!

[skywalker74]

Ja, ich kenne das Problem....

[Shoknifeman]

@skywalker74 I bought 14....its a start ;)

[Shoknifeman]

I meant to say "the tour van was broadsided"

[ThatLovelyEnglishBob]

This video/song is the most adorable thing ever.

[Frisbieinstein]

Boring and lame.

[KibaMonster]

shonen knife owns! So shut up!

[pigeonsonmyeyes]

Resisting gravity, I climb a steep hill,

I run out of breath and my feet begin to hurt,

Psyching myself up, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other,

Keep on going, aiming for the goal. Ohhh.

I'll just have a bit of a rest.

What would it be like if I went to a planet with no gravity?

However much I moved, I wouldn't make any progress,

So I'd lose the will to carry on and just float aimlessly for ever.

[leniss]

thank you!!!

such beautiful lyrics

[amarcadia]

This video makes me feel so happy !!!!! Thanks Shonen Knife!!!!!

[kittyprydekissme]

This is Shonen Knife? Why are there only two of them? What is this song called (in Roman letters)? I can't read Japanese.

[kingcade]

It's called "Gravity Weightlessness". You can look it up on Babelfish.

[Shoknifeman]

This was done for Fun Fun Fun, recorded after Atsuko moved to

LA and before Ritsuko joined

[kc7fys]

Could you post the lyrics to this? I can't find them.

Japanese is OK.

[medeski2007]

Juryoku ni sakaratte kyuu na saka wo noboru.

Iki mo taedae ni natte ashi mo itaku-naru.

Kiai wo irete ippo zutu fumi-dasou.

Gitasura gaman. Mokuteki-chi wo mezashite. Ah-ah.

Dakedo sukoshi gurai wa hito-yasumi siyou.

Juryoku no nai hoshi e itte-mireba dou-naru?

Ugoi-temo ugoi-temo mae ni wa susuma-nai.

Dakara nan-nimo suru ki ga shi-nakunatte tada puka puka to ukabu.

"Juryoku Mu-Juryoku"*2

[medeski2007]

Dakedomo tama-ni wa juryou ni mi wo makase-te miyou.

Juryoku ni sita-gatte saka no ue kara

Koro koro to koroga-tte Tikyu wo hito-mawari.

Sorede kekkyoku tadori-tuita tokoro wa

saisho ni mezasi-ta mokuteki-chi, kamone.

"Juryoku Mu-Juryoku"*4

[medeski2007]

I tryed to hear and write this lylic for under kc7fys7s request.

But i can't trancerate in English, couse my english ability is not well.

*"Juryoku" means Gravity.

[kc7fys]

In Japanese, please. I can't paste all of these romaji words into a translator. Just the lyrics in Japanese.

Thanks for the romaji transliteration, though. I could have done that myself. I can hear the song.

[medeski2007]

重力に逆らって、急な坂を登る。

息も絶え絶えになって、足も痛くなる。

気合いを入れて、一歩づつ踏み出そう。

ひたすらがまん。目的地を目指して。あ〜あ。

だけど少しぐらいは、一休みしよう。

重力の無い星へ行ってみればどうなる？

動いても動いても前には進まない。

だから、なんにもする気がしなくなって、ただプカプカと永遠に浮­かぶ。

[medeski2007]

（続きです）

重力、無重力（２回繰り返し）

だけども、たまには重力に身を任せてみよう。

重力に逆らって、坂の上からコロコロと転がって地球を一回り。

それで、結局たどりついたところは最初に目指した目的地かもね。

重力、無重力（４回繰り返し）

[kc7fys]

Perfect. Thank you so much.

Jonathan

[fatcatbuzz]

I don't speak Japanese, but all I can say is this band is awesome and I've love them since the early 90s. I love that Naoko kept her music going because she is such a good songwriter and musician. Plus, the new drummer is such a babe.

[KibaMonster]

The new drummer died though didnt she? in like a car accident with some other band she was in. It's so sad cause I thought she was the best drummer.

[fatcatbuzz]

It was the drummer before the new one they have now. She was only with them for a little while. I forget her name though. RIP Michael Jackson.

[greenohfor]

Mana (China) Nishiura. She was killed while on tour with a band called DMBQ in 2005.

[Shoknifeman]

the drummer who died was Mana "China" Nishiura, who took over the drums on a temporary bassis after Michie quit and Atsuko switched to the bass. In nov 2005, Mana was touring the USA with her new band DMBQ, when it was broadsided and went down an embankment, sadly, Mana wasn't wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene. (The present drummer Etsuko Nakanishi replaced Mana in 2003)

[kc7fys]

My favorite of their tunes. What a sweet melody.

[mgnp7194]

山のアッちゃん。から幾年月。

涙がでた。

[kc7fys]

The new drummer is definitely a REBERU APPU!

[fatcatbuzz]

I'm in love with the new drummer of Shonen Knife. She's so hot!!!

[negativecreep1993]

I love Shonen Knife!

[Shoknifeman]

Yep, the greatest band no one knows about....but, I'm spreading the word ;)

[chaingyangu1978]
