Kazuya_UK · Sep 24, 2003

For those that are interested in knowing what is being said in the Matrimelee songs but don't understand Japanese, you can check out the guide by tsukaesugi and myself. Grab the guide here:

You will need to copy/paste that URL into a *NEW* browser window, otherwise it will NOT work. Let me know what you think, but thank tsukaesugi for the translations!

I had no problems opening the link by just clicking at it.

Awesome work, tsukaesugi and kazuya!

Great wok guyz!
Anyway, the complete title of the kamen masked like singher isn't 'Bimbo Ningen Kanenaijya'?

Sotra like 'Poor Human Nomoneyranger', right?

Damn... and the one I was most interested in, the Alien song, wasn't done yet

Oh well... good work for sure, nice read,

tsuka was working on the Alien song, although he said it was longer than the others, so it would take a little longer to translate. I'll make an update once he gets time to finish it and will let you all know

Thanks guys,
Kaz

Alien song = Bokura no Himitsu (Our Secret)

Ooopsie. Shito's right, the correct Japanese title is 'Bimbo Ningen Kanenaijaa'. I must have been hungover when I translated that one.

'Ningen' can translate as either 'human', or 'man'... in this case it's more than likely 'man', which would make the title 'Poor Man Nomoneyranger' which would be redundant.

Incidentally, the way I translated the lyrics was sentence for sentence. This means that I tried to translate each individual line/ sentence as accurately as possible in isolation. I didn't try to get all the lines to flow together, that would have required changing the meanings of some of the lines a little bit. That's why some of the English might seem a little strange some of the time.

DAN DA DAN!

I've had problems with linking things from vB too recently. It seems to abbreiviate links when it parses them.

Anyway, try cutting and pasting this:

I'll change the title of the song to "Bimbo Ningen Kanenaijaa' but leave the lyrics as they are right?

thats just incredible, I still haven't played MM, but the work thats gone into those songs might just convert me.

Theres a tear in my eye, simply due to the fact somewhere, SNK/P developers are putting their hearts and souls into software for the black and gold.

The way it used to be. You remember?

Actually, I though of the redunant 'Poor Human Nomoneyranger' as a pun of the TITLE of some sentai, you surely will no 'Super Human Samurai Cybersquad' and such.

Using the 'ningen' as 'human' is typical of almost all '70 Japanese superheroes, just as 'muteki' and 'kyojin' were keywords for Japan Robot animation in those days...

I'll take your word for it... aside from a couple of episodes of 'Kamen Raidaa', I've never really watched many Japanese Superhero series.

I'll stick by my original translation however, the redundancy really doesn't translate well into English I think.

PS, nice sig!

Shito · Sep 25, 2003

Well, anyway fact is Matrimeee OST rocks hard, buddy!

Anyway, we both know Lewis Carrol was a genious. :-)

'Superhuman Samuari Cyber Squad'? Wasn't that the one with the wanna-be goth kid who spent all his time in the closet and talking to robo-bondage clad Tim Curry while drawing a bunch of fruitly looking monsters?

Man, a wasted childhood..Even for a harp seal..

Oh, and by the way, I've always wanted to know the lyrics for the song about the guy eating the steak. I don't even want to recall how many matches I've lost staring at the monitor in bewilderment.

Kazuya_UK · Sep 25, 2003

Guy eating a steak...? Which ones that?

And yeah, the Matrimelee OST is great... one of the few OST CD's I've gone out and bought! :buttrock:
