my first rock show when i first saw this band waayy bacck 2003 at the exit fresno calif...together with anberlin (wasn't that famous yet), mewithoutyou, emery and the fighting jacks..headlined by FSF...made my night and fast forward 8yrs after...this band broke up and anberlin becme sooo hugeeeee
@BombEver I second that. It simple means "I". As in "Watashi wa Americajin deis" (forgive bad spelling) meaning "I am American". "I AM" would have been something along the lines of "Watashi wa deis".
i can't get this song out of my mind, it's so cool, thank God I came a cross with it, i even hear it when i'm sleep LOL, hey if any of you speak spanish and like real christian punk christ-centered i would recommend you to listen to METAMORFFOSIS and the songs alisse, quisiera, escrito en las estrellas, they are doing great thing for God and they are from el salvador but sound very americans and their beat and rhythm
@krustonia I know bro in many of their videos I have commented that they along with metamorffosis are the best punk rock bands in central america, wow, mosquito farm really rocks, I've kept track of them since their early beginning. Do u know where in the internet could i find the song they released in english call '' the one '', I've been looking for it, esta buenisima.
i kinda read that they were playing with a different name, but wow! this song is awesome, good beat, great melody, nice rhythm, i think the song talks about jesus, giving himself up to die for us, and kinda saying here am i, take me i'll bleed for u :).
Yeah they broke up and Seth and Lane started a band called Eager Sea's but then they released a cd called "Eager Sea's" under Watashi Wa if i'm not mistaken.
I think it's a reference to God "I AM". When God was talking to Moses and God told Moses to go tell the Isrealites that He would get them out of Eygpt and Moses said who shall I say sent me. God said tell them "I AM" sent you.
for example: 'Watashi wa nihonjin desu' means literally: 'About me, Japan-person be.' in proper english. I am Japanese.
or: 'Watashi wa Sientje-San aisuru'. It means 'About me, ms. Sientje love' in proper english that'd be: I'm in love with Sientje (Thats my girlfriend btw XD)

@doctorshifty83 "My name is..." in Japanese is "Namae wa..."
Not sure about this but "Watashi wa" technically doesn't mean "I am." rather "I am..." . I guess the band meant was "I am."

@1thess523
Watashi Wa does NOT mean I AM (JHWH),
If it was I AM it would be Watashi desu.
Watashi Wa means 'About me' or 'Concerning me'
It's common phrase in Japanese.
for example: 'Watashi wa nihonjin desu' means literally: 'About me, Japan-person be.' in proper english. I am Japanese.
or: 'Watashi wa Sientje-San aisuru'. It means 'About me, ms. Sientje love' in proper english that'd be: I'm in love with Sientje (Thats my girlfriend btw XD)

No, "desu" is "am". Wa just makes it a personal pronoun. Sorry, I didn't mean to nitpick D:
spyhonderd 2 years ago
desu isnt "am" hahaha...
anata wa chotto baka desu ka?
(are you a little stupid?")
where's the "am" in this sentence? lol im sorry
but "watashi wa" is like "speaking of me" or "as for me"
watashi wa keeki o yakimashita yo.
Speaking of me, i made a cake.
TallJoeJPN 2 years ago
I studied Japanese for two years before I quit, and I'm pretty sure "Desu" means "To be".
