]]> くちぶえ〜wayward story〜 kuchibue ~wayward story~ Whistling ~wayward story~ irritating sun
tired of heat
thats creeping up
on my back how long have
i walked alone?
as long as i
get to the next town
un, deux, trois clear blue sky
is all i see
but the heavy weight
put load on me (it) feels like i
just walk in vain
all the image melts
within my head distance far
(the) rain clouds come
and wet my clothes
its nice for change trees, bugs, plants
and so am i
so filled with thirst
longing for the rain
ichi, ni, san green, blue sky
earth is brown
the view's so fine
after the rain sun went down
in a world of shades
and suddenly
they look serene orange stains
though i close my eyes
sun rise and down
inside of me
three, two, one a town too small
too dim for light
as i come back to my home today was hot
hard rains fell
and we talk as we all dine i just hope that tomorrow's the same
though we long for change
We are happy just the same good night good night

Dramatic is complete!

2008-11-08T07:14:55Z

I've been hard at work subtitling tayu tau and also translating songs. Posting three songs over the past two days brings the album Dramatic to completion! All but the two instrumentals now have transcriptions and translations.

I'm up to about 45 minutes of tayu tau, nearly half of the whole film. Some of the conversations in concert venues and bars are really hard to hear, but I'm doing my best, and I have the assistance of a native Japanese speaker.

Thanks for your support!

tayu tau subtitling progress

2008-09-03T21:47:39Z

Hello friends! Well, I'm on vacation in my home town of Chicago, just lounging around my parents' house trying not to think about work. I have been posting translations for songs that appear in tayu tau, and so far I have about six and a half minutes of the movie subtitled.

I had some frustrations with Miyu, the subtitling software, but it seems to be the best choice for the Mac right now, and I think I have a pretty good workflow going. I hope I can present the final product to you soon. :D

手をのばし求めるほどに
いつからかふたり surechigau kokoro no yukue
itsu no ma ni futari
te wo nobashi motomeru hodo ni
itsu kara ka futari The directions of hearts passing one another,
Before we knew it, the two of us
The more we reach out, the more we desire
At some point, we began 迫るスピード
感じながらああ僕ら
身をまかせて
うわああああああ
ともにゆこう semaru supiido
kanjinagara aa bokura
mi wo makasete
uwaaaaaaa
tomo ni yukou The pressing speed
As we feel it, ah,
We surrender ourselves
Aah, aah, aah,
Let's go together 愛しい顔がふとよぎる
またすこし遠くなる
忙しくて会えないときも
すぐ近くにいるから itoshii kao ga futo yogiru
mata sukoshi tooku naru
isogashikute aenai toki mo
sugu chikaku ni iru kara Your precious face suddenly passed by
Again you grow slightly farther away
Even the times we're too busy to see one another,
I'm right next to you, so... うねるグルーヴ
そのど真ん中で僕ら
身を焦がして
うわああああああ
転がりつづける uneru guruuvu
sono domannaka de bokura
mi wo kogashite
uwaaaaaaa
korogaritsudzukeru The surging groove
We're right in the dead center of it
We burn ourselves,
Aah, aah, aah,
Tumbling onward かわいたかぜ
ゆらいだまち
ひびいたおと
すきとおったそら kawaita kaze
yuraida machi
hibiita oto
sukitootta sora The dry wind
The shaken town
The sound that resonated
The sky that became clear

GOOD TIME MUSIC

Clammbon really seems to be becoming more of a band that has two vocalists, and I think it's great. The contrast and interplay between Ikuko and Mito are splendid.

Dear Gould

This song is a tribute to the piano great Glenn Gould, who I just happened to get into right around the time this album came out. :)
