When me and my friend was watching this we just cracked up when maimai did a little jump. Altough maimai is my fav c-ute member it was sooo funny!!!!!!
Ugh i really like this song with Megumi as the lead vocal but i also love it when she left and they gave her lines to like everybody else . :) its a really good song and for some reason i really like 0:48- 0:51 idk why lol. And i also like the verses when the switch voices and the little running like thingy like at 1:36-1:39. Just about everything lol.
@PinkShard888 They debuted in 2005 with seven members, then Kanna Arihara was added in January 2006, then Megumi Murakami left in October 2006. So for those nine months, they had eight members.
@TheSonicComet omg!! thank you so much! i just looked up southpaw by w to see what the heck u were talking about and now its my new fave song!! thank you!
That's Mai Hagiwara. At the time of filming, Mai was having eye trouble and needed eye surgery. I forget the whole story on the eye surgery thing, but she's wearing sunglasses in the PV because the bright lights bother her eyes. I forget if this was before or after surgery.
I miss the C-ute members that are graduated already... Erika Umeda, Megumi Murakami, Kanna Ahira..! Only 5 members are remain.. Huhuhu... I love them so much..
I doubt that it's because of her age. In Japan, you're not considered an adult until age 20. I do believe that she's choosing to leave because she's done with high school now and wants to move on to something else. Konno Asami from Morning Musume did the same thing. When she finished high school she graduated from Momusu so that she could attend university.
she had eye surgery to help with her sight, and wore glasses because her eyes were still sensitive the lights, there is a couple of other videos where she still needed to wear them
I don't know about that. Airi and Maimi had plenty of lines and screen time when she was there. It would probly be more distributed though. Airi getting most like Risako does. Megumi getting the second most like Miyabi, then Maimi getting the Momoko lines.
Speaking of translation,I watched several H!P clips with subtitles. And I found that most of them included small mistakes and even obvious mistranslations,so I think they don't fully convey the true meaning and distinctive atmosphere of the lyrics. I wonder wether foreigners,including you,think that the translations are correct and evaluate that they're good songs or feel like "What???" as I did?
Most of the translations you see in fandom -- be they for H!P or anime or whatever -- are done for expediency and general meaning. It's a handful of amateurs trying to process a mountain of material as quickly as possible. As such, some nuance is inevitably lost.
There's also the problem of competing egos. I myself have been involved in a few subtitling projects, and many of the people I worked with simply didn't like to be corrected. They don't acknowledge the importance of real editing.
None of that matters, though, because most of the people reading these translations are teenagers with short attention spans. (Harsh but true.) They don't know Japanese at all, so they don't -care- about nuance.
You and I are both in our 30's (if our profile pages are to be believed), and we've both had proper education in the other's language (although you obviously know more English than I know Japanese), so we can see and understand the problems. But we are the extreme minority.
Thank you very much for your thorough and detailed explanation. I understand that expecting satisfactory translations from amateurs is too harsh. I shouldn't have fussed about trifling mistakes in the first place,though some are obviously exceeding the scope of a matter of subtle nuances. And I should quit correcting mistranslations one by one. If I were in the translator's place,I would feel uneasy. I won't do that in future. I promise.
I mean I won't voluntarily correct the mistranslations so long as the fans are happy with them. But concerning comments,it's a different story. Obvious misunderstanding and defamatory comments should be corrected for both contributor's and reader's sake. I think that you're suitable for the mission given your great stock of knowledge about whole H!P. And I'll take part in a constructive argument if that's about my favorite field.
