The only Shiina Ringo album I'd heard before Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana was Muzai Moratorium. I was expecting the same kind of grungy pop rock. Instead, I got the music that is what I would imagine you would hear as a creepy little girl with long black hair follows you up the stairs in the dark. Fucking awesome.
Well... about this translation, I dont think this is done by Japanese cuz its sometimes wrong obviously...
"What I really desire is poison...You know I'm only kidding.If possible I'd prefer the sweets, because I think about drinking tea.
"
For this part, I would say "It can be poison, doesnt really matter. If possible I'd prefer the sweets,I could spend money for them as much as for water(that means I afford vast money for it)."
yeah, i think the lyrics sound very good and this is a good translation but some of the lines are a bit confusing, like "if possible i'd prefer the sweet, because i think about drinking tea" i don't understand the leap between wanting a sweet and thinking about drinkin tea, is there a leap? Or do i think there is because i don't know enough about japanese culture?
Great song though and i think i get the gist of it.
I think the idea is that somehow tea prevents cavities. So it says, "I would like some sweet. I'm not worried about cavities, because I'm thinking about drinking tea."
Japanese sometimes eat a kind of candy during having tea. It's to make the bitter Japanese green tea a bit more sweet. I don't know the name of the candy though.
"No matter where I go, I can't find just the right cup.
How is that possible when day by day there are more roads and buildings?
Take a gander at the absurdity of a bottle you just can't seem to get to the bottom of."
To me, it's talking about how there are so many different religions & how different each one is. You can't ever really -know- the full truth about life, so you never 'get to the bottom' of any religion, so it doesn't matter which religion you choose. That's my interpretation :)

That translation is weird. Americans don't talk that way. I think it is interesting to see how Japanese people talk and think.

i think this song reflects the japanese buddhist way of thinking very well, all the stuff about flowers and passing showers, very traditional images.

There is no reason to be so unkind, Scarletarabesque.
The title of the song is "shuukyo", and comes from the 2003 album "karuki samen kuri no hana".
