In english translation: I sprinted, I twisted, I tried to run about everywhere I spun, I was spun, I rolled into anything I could find I was attached, I felt included, hey! I just picked up so much stuff! I tried to avoid it, I tried to flee, But the power was too much, came crashing down on me I tried to push it, I tried to pull it, At the end of my rope, I tried to cast it away I crashed, I snapped, A huge thrill ran through my body
It's a mix of Japanese and engrish, a lot of songs are written like this in japan. You! Ha! Get up! You! Ha! Get up! Hashitta, magatta, Sokorajuu kakemegutte mita, Mawashita, mawatta, Teatari shidai ni korogashita, Kuttsuketa, kumikonda, Iroiro na mono wo getto shita, Ha! Come on! Sakete mita, nigete mita, Ikioi amatte tonde mita, Oshite mita, hiite mita, Chikara no kagiri nagete mita, Butsukatta, hajikareta, Mono sugoi shougeki ga hashitta
the first time I head this one was when I played the Demo for this game before it came out and that was one of the main reasons I got sucked into this series, they need to make a new one with alot more stuff as well as fix or remove the stuff that started to hurt this series.
Best example I can think of is the opening to Persona 3. The grammar is all correct, but the singer's accent is so think you can't make out what she's saying.
'Dreamless dorm, ticking clock' becomes 'We must talk, drink and fuck.'
Jiggy dog, a funky dog--a mean dam's up the water and a soy you can eat--yeah. Jiggy dog, a funky dog--a mean fish out of water and soy you can eat--c'mon!
This is a good song as well. I find my self picking certain stages not only for the gameplay, but also the music. Strange... no other game has made me want to do that that obviously was not a music based game. Truly a fun song to roll in.
Protip: He is speaking English in some parts with a heavy Japanese accent. English has a trendy and cool image in Japan, but the nuances of phrasal verbs sometimes go a bit wrongly:
yea because theres certain phrases and such that just dont translate well as there isnt an English meaning.,.. so often Japanese translation is off a bit and sometimes seems disarrayed
