Single [SINGLE] NMB48 6th [Kitagawa Kenji] 12/11/07

I wrote down the lyrics from the performance and tried to translate them...they're very odd. Definitely agree with Smilodon that it's tough to understand at times

ずっと気になってたんだ　微かな風の噂
君がつき合ってた彼氏
会いたくなんてないけど　そう　このカフェテリアで
偶然　遭遇してしまった

いたずらっぽいウインクしながら
顎の先で合図した

Look at あれが北川謙二だ　君はそっとつぶやいて
僕の（僕の）反応（反応）楽しんでる
Look at　まさに北川謙二だ　僕はちょっと苛ついて
今の君をもう一度抱きしめる

Look at　あれが北川謙二だ　君はわざと大声で
愛と（愛と）愛を（愛を）試している
Look at　つまり北川謙二だ　そして僕はわかったよ
今の君がキレイなのは　彼のおかげ

It was always on my mind, faint gossip in the wind
about the boyfriend you were going out with
I don't want to meet you, but in this cafeteria,
I finally had my chance

With an impish wink,
you jerked your chin at me

"Look at Kitagawa Kenji over there," you whisper quietly,
enjoying my reaction
"Look at Kitagawa Kenji, right at him," and I get a little annoyed,
holding you close to me once again now

"Look at Kitagawa Kenji over there," you say loudly on purpose
I'm trying out my love for you with love
"Look at Kitagawa Kenji, just at him," and I finally understood:
your being beautiful today is all thanks to him

 

^ Nice translation. Small mistake here "会いたくなんてないけど"

It's not "I could never meet you" but more-so, "I don't want to meet you"

Any who, other then that, awesome translation.

By the way, just had a listen to the song, and it kicks ass! I'm definitely getting this, maybe online this time though.

 

I am very new to NMB48. Only know a few of the members but another one has sparked my interest. Who is the idol at 2:50ish of the HEYx3 performance (camera-san goes to her after Yui) she looked so

Is it Ogasawara Mayu ?

 

That's Maachun, yep

 

This NMB single better than some of the recent AKB stuff, and better than UZA [puke] . Tune and tempo isn't too bad and suits. The name Kitagawa Kenji, sounds really stupid to me, but I guess it means something to them to call the song that.

 

I just found out that Kenji's father is CEO of Sony Music o.o Making a song about this guy suddenly seems like a great idea.

 

Thanx for the correction! Will fix in my original post
Really looking forward to the B-sides now!

 

The song is really great. I didn't think of it much at first, but I really like it a lot more than UZA.

 

I see. The only reason why I like NMB48 is because of their vocals are quite good. Gonna admit they're GOOD. And yes it's better than UZA...because their voices is really suit in their song.

Oh yeah, since I'm Mayuyu fan, the other Watanabe drag me here...Got listening to their singles lately. [party]

 

^ Welcome to the club
I agree this song is very good, I keep on repeating the video over & over & I can't get enough
In this performance all the members looks so lovely with their costumes & hairstyle, every girl look so perfect [blush]

In the single I wish they do what SKE48 did in their latest single, when they shuffle Akagumi & Shirogumi and make a new centers other than WMatsui, it really works, we want to see & try other members as centers, and come up with new faces.

 

Thanks! ^^ I've been watching their videos over and over again, especially their song [青春のラップタイム] in every stage performances.

1 thing that got me noticed is that every NMB members are good dancers compare to other 48 sisters. And ofc I never get my eyes off to Milky!

 

u.. have a great taste!!
seishun no laptime is also my NMB's top 1 song.. never get bored to it..

we share the same reason as to "why I should like NMB48" [rock]
forgot where, I read someone's opinion that "NMB48 is the best dancing groups among all 48 groups"

some one might not agree to that, but I have to say.. "that's the fact" [rock]

 

I love this song. The song, the costume and the dance are very festive like that I can't help but nod along to the beat. Definitely agree with this song being the best that the 48 family released these past few months.

Can't wait for the PV and more live performances.

 

Haha...Yeah, currently my most played song on NMB singles. Fact is a fact...couldn't agree more and ofc I like Sayanee the way she sings.

 

in an interesting turn of events...

originally, yui was not going to be part of the theatre edition handshake event...
but they changed their mind and now she is.

Not surprising really...

 

Anybody know when to expect details of the different versions? I want to choose which to order.
