Kanjani8’s Sakura Uta – Oh!Enka

by Fiona

I’m sharing another fave of me, Oh!Enka by Kanjani8. You know those fun crazy boys from Kansai.

I really like the historical context of the lyrics along with the mixture of enka and modern melodies. The hint of conservative-ism adds a local flair to the song — the boys’ love for their hometown, Osaka. Overall, the song is very catchy and genki, you feel so cheerful after listening to.

Here are the lyrics in Romaji and English:

Nande yaro naa…sakura miteru to, metcha setsuna nan nen
Oton, okan…ore mo itsuka wa
Shikkari hana sakashitaru kara na! Mitoite ya!

I wonder why…when I look at the cherry blossoms, it’s so bittersweet
Dad, Mom…someday
I’ll bloom, too! Just watch!

Aiba Masaki to star in new butai

by Fiona

It has been confirmed that Aiba-chan has been casted in a new stageplay, it’s titled Kimi to Miru Sen no Yume (The Thousand Dreams I Dream With You). It will be from 5/2 to 5/24 at The Globe Tokyo. On the website, a brief synopsis has been added:

激しい交通事故後、昏睡状態で慌ただしく病院に運び込まれる一人の男がいる。
一緒に駆け込んできたのは池辺春也。

男が集中治療室に運び込まれて処置を受ける中、
春也の妹、友達、そして春也の恋人の小野美智子が駆けつけた。

そのとき、春也はようやく事態に気づく。
ここにいる生死の境をさまよっている男。

「もしかして俺？」。

事故のとき何があったのか思い出せない春也は、思い出の日々をたどっていく。

それぞれのきずなを確かめ、そしてついに事故の真相にたどりつく・・・。

Here’s my rough translation:

After a severe traffic accident, a man was rushed to the hospital in the state of emergency. He who had already fallen into a coma was Ikebe Haruya.

Due to his condition, he was transported to the intensive care unit. While receiving treatment, Haruya’s younger sister, friends, and girlfriend (Ono Mitiko) have arrived frantically.

At that time, Haruya is finally aware of his situation.
This man is between the verge of life and death.

“Could this be me?”

Haruya could not recall the actual events that had occurred at the time of the accident.

Upon confirming his ties with each person in pursuit of recollecting his life, he comes upon the truth behind his accident….

This sounds very intriguing and hope all goes well. I’m quite impressed by the title (The Thousand Dreams I Dream With You), it sure holds much meaning and enough to make one flair! Ganbatte, Aiba-chan!!
