@aniyoko In 40mP's latest song "Do Re Mi Fa Rondo", 40mP made several references to his earlier songs, and one of the two references to this song named the eye doctor as "Suzuki".
@Usagichanification People who think of such aren't limited to Vocaloid composers; there's also lyricists in other countries, poets around the world, and countless writers...
Um guys... I don't think this song is actually about her literally going to the eye doctor and getting her eyes checked. I dunno... I see it as more symbolic? Like, she wants to find her true self, so she needs "glasses" to see who she really is or... Something like that. O_____o
really need some glasses for myu left eye but i don't think my granma is gunna get me some since i lost my other glasses T.T now i'll have to squint my eyes and look closely to something for the rest of my life DX
Ironically, I just got glasses. And to say the truth, when I had the examination last week, I was nervous. Now I can say the my glasses almost create two of me.
The first(without the glasses on): Stubborn, childish, young, reckless, whiny, 13(my actual age), immature.
The Second(with the glasses): Quiet, calm, logical, 14-15, older, wiser, mature.
I just hope very few will ever see me with the glasses, but I have to wear them for reading. So 95% of my time.
........ Imagine Japanese ppl really do think of this deep feelings just while going to the Eye Doctor!!! XD Everything is precious and has feeling to them! (This is why I love them so)
@Zantillia I might be wrong, but I don't think not wearing glasses can harm your vision. Just the act of wearing them does not improve your vision at all. I mean, yes, when you look through them everything is more visible, (assuming these are glasses of a prescription made to your need) but they don't actually correct anything -permanently-.
.. You know, I kinda wish I had such an eye doctor.. D; ... Nah... But I really like the song, even as I got a little confused when she was singing that she gradually couldn't see(from the doctor's perspective)
@AmberStar209 I don't understand how people can suddenly look different just because of the hairstyle or glasses they may have on. Well, I pay more attention to the structure and shape of the face more than color and accessories.
I have glasses and i was watching this with my glasses off and when the video got fuzzy i freaked the hell out thinking the problem was my eyes but i realized that the video was suppose to do that .-.
I love this song! I hate the fact that I have glasses, well contacts, at times, just because it makes me feel weird or strange, just wearing glasses I feel well ugly at times. But I get the most compliments when I wear them, saying I look cuter with them. But I just can't see why, I'm so strange :3
Strangely enough, my glasses are too strong and make everything I see through them wider than what they actually are. 9v9 That's why I try not to wear them when I draw since proportions get distorted, but then I can't see the pencil markings very well and I have to use them to check my line art. It's rather annoying since my eyesight is so bad. XD
@DNotefan Gumi does sound more human-like than others. Luka is close but not as human-like as Gumi. I'm not Gumi's fan but I still have to admit that she is the best female Vocaloid voice I've ever listened to ^^ She beats even my dear Rin <3
I just got my glasses last year and my doctor told me to wear them all the time, but I only wear them when I have trouble taking notes on the board in class. The only reason I don't wear my glasses all the time is I don't want to see the ugly people at my school. I a horrible person, but that's how I am. :l
Well, if you don't wear your glasses, you're only seeing the blurred versions of them that you're satisfied with, fake versions of them. Your eye doctor helped you to get something o fix your vision not only so that you could see clearly, but so that you can see others for what they really look like. You may not accept their appearances, but at least you'll be seeing their "genuine" selves, not their "artificial" ones.
@BerrySubs I see what you are saying and I think I'm fine if I only see their blurred versions. I know he is trying to help me, but there are some people at my school that I don't want to see. I guess you can say I'm running away from them instead of facing them.
@HanakoFujita If you are not comfortable wearing glasses, then I think you shouldn't have to. I have bad eyesight, but not bad enough that I MUST wear glasses, so I don't. However, if your eyesight gets worse over time, I think you should wear them. Sometimes not wearing glasses when you have bad sight can make your eyes even worse, and no one wants that.
I think that guy is just telling Gumi what she sees is not him. The right eye is to represent the "eye" that gumi used to see him. The left eye, which is covered, hides the true nature of the guy. Then the guy ask gumi to touch his chest see clearer the real him, "if the crack in my heart is blurry but visible".
wait, wait, wait, did she just say "touch your hand to my chest"? that's kind of perverted of you, eye doctor. i think the song is AWESOME but...how old is the eye doctor?
What I think the song means is a girl (Gumi) has been putting on to many faces (personalities) for so long that she forgot who thereal her was. And asks her love who he likes better. Her fake faces or her real face. Lol that is what I think.
I think your translation is excellent! Good choice of words; they read quite smoothly. :)
I have a small question - is it possible that "正しく僕を愛せるように" should be translated as "So you can properly love me" instead of "So that I can properly love myself"? Having the girl as the subject of that sentence makes more sense to me, because of what he says in the next few lines about her not seeing his true identity 'with those worn out glasses'.
Overall, awesome job with the video! Thanks for translating
@BerrySubs: Yeah, that does make it more ambiguous! It can be interpreted either way. That's the trouble with translating into English; it's harder to keep that original ambiguity.
@PastelSkyline Both of them are by 40mP, who's songs often sound really similar to each other. It's the same person who wrote "Mousou Sketch" and "Karakuri Pierrot."
@WallachiaTatari Perhaps because the producer simply likes the female voice better, or doesn't like a male voice enough to spend money on it? I also interpreted it as a guy singing, but I had never given it a thought with other guy-POV-songs. xD;;;
Tama is such a good artist. I really hope they have a Pixiv or something like that somewhere.
