13th Jul 2015 (伊利莎伯太遲來 – Shine)

Today’s song is “伊利莎伯太遲來” by Shine. The direct English translation of the title is “Elizabeth arrived too late”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist wanting to meet with Elizabeth in a ball, but he waited for so long and still hasn’t seen her. He said: “She is not, she is not, she is not, she is not, but who is? Like, better, almost, but none are. Not the time yet, so perhaps Elizabeth at this second is still at home, hasn’t changed into her dress yet. She is not, she is not, she is not, she is not, but who is? Perhaps she is here already, but we just haven’t meet up. Perhaps she wanted me to search a few more times, so that through the places that I have been to, other people around could leave their name in my heart. It is not Sharon, also not Susan, a messy romance history. Also not Kitty, and it is not Cathy. When they arrived, they all looks like her, but at the end they are not her. The ball has started, so perhaps princess is late as usual? If it is not Jenny, and also not Farrar, and still I keep the ring. It is also not Cindy, and also not Christy. I understand that searching for partner, I must test. But they have already met with me. There are so many unrelated people, but the one that I look forward to is showing up so late. She is not, she is not, she is not, she is not, but who is? Carry on a bit longer, wait a bit longer, search for a bit longer, if I still can. Still haven’t seen her. How many more times do I need to apologise for recognising the wrong person? How many more until the road to be smooth? It is not Sharon, also not Susan, a messy romance history. Also not Kitty, and it is not Cathy. When they arrived, they all looks like her, but at the end they are not her. The ball has started, so perhaps princess is late as usual? If it is not Jenny, and also not Farrar, and still I keep the ring. It is also not Cindy, and also not Christy. I understand that searching for partner, I must test. But they have already met with me. There are so many unrelated people, but the one that I look forward to is showing up so late.” Hope you will like the song.

22nd Mar 2015 (SuperStar – Shine)

The song for today is “SuperStar” by Shine. This is a song from 2002.

The lyrics of the song are about mother, talking about how much of a great job our mother does. It said: “Your face, shine like a queen. You are so shining, like a star on stage. You, haven’t got an award through the year, but still going strong. Talking about your ability, you are strong and humble. Talking about charm, you are way beyond Norika (referring to 藤原紀香 (Norika Fujiwara) here, a Japanese star that was extremely popular in the late 90’s and early 00’s). About your strength, you wake up each morning earlier than Morning Musume (Morning娘, a Japanese music group). The truth, you never speak a word. You are so elegant like a superstar. How nice would it be if you are my main actress, but you are my mother. You are my superstar, looking after me for the whole life. Superstar, couldn’t resist your charm. I am your super fan, shake hands, take photos, autograph and give flowers, and it is still not enough. You are my superstar, I should call you highness. Superstar, scary when get angry. I love you superstar, you got the value of a superstar but still willing to do everything for me. When the show star, every seated. When you talk, everyone is silenced. Your position, is like the most popular person at home. While hitting me, you are serious and calm. While you calm me down, you are nice and tender. If you do all this on the silver screen, you would already be very famous. Doing this, you couldn’t sold an album nor a ticket. But oddly enough, even without pay, you still love me. Who else could do this without anything in return? Could own this superstar. Hope you will like the song.

21st Apr 2013 (天又藍 - Shine)

The song that I chose for today is “天又藍” by Shine. Shine was never really popular. At one point it looked like there were on top of everything, but slowly they fade away. Until recently, they stared in Wyman’s concert and many people seem to really enjoy their part. “天又藍” is one of their classic. The direct English translation of the title is “Sky is blue again”.

The lyrics of the song are about not giving up hope. It started off telling us that there had been many things that got the protagonist sad, like losing a football match. But his will was not stopped. He knows that he will get over it someday. Even though at one point it seems to hurt so much, but when we have grown up, the pain seems to disappear. Hope you will like the song.

Today’s song is “燕尾蝶” by Shine. The English translation of the title is “Swallowtail butterfly”. This is a very meaningful song.

This song is about environment. It talks about how we slowly destroying our would to build our civilisation. The song is slow paces and if you don’t know what the lyrics is talking about you would feel that it is a peaceful song. But if you actually pay attention to the lyrics, you will feel that it is very scary. The lyrics as I said is saying we are destroying the earth, but yet the way Shine are singing it make it sounds like they don’t care what’s happening. This is scary because this is exactly how the majority of the people think these days. We all know that what we are doing to Earth is bad, but yet the majority of us are still doing it on day to day basis. We are so selfish that we no longer care what’s happening in the world, we just wanted to enjoy our life in the best manner without carrying what that will caused to others (in this case, I am talking about animals, plants and other creatures that we share the Earth with.) Hope you will enjoy the song, and start acting as an environmental friendly person.
