[Eng Soft Sub] Sexy Zone - Kirin no Ko / Honey Honey [Type A] - Sexy Zone Dream 22 - Sexy Tournament
The title for the post was waaaay too long lol, I had to cut it, but it's done, finally~ this part at least
Okay, first of all, I have to travel like in an hour, lol, and I'm writing this here, why? because I wanted to post it... either way, here it is. I have a bunch of notes I have to write it legibly and understandably, but it won't be now. I love this single and I love the bonus videos from SZ, they're so entertaining so I think this was really fun to do, except for the timing, that took me ages and I hated it.
So, let me put this in perspective, this is a card game, similar to Black Jack in which the numbers of the cards will be the answers to a numeric questionnaire that the members answered previously. All the questions are about themselves and their private lives. It's funny to see the predictions for the other members' questions. Like the other time, I've watched this a lot of times because of subbing this and I still enjoy it~ And this is an about-an-hour-long video
Raw: here, Type A (Alternative link: send me a message or leave a comment. Make sure I can send you a dm)
Soft Subtitles: here
Fonts: here
Okay, so I just want to say two things before I go to check whether I'm forgetting something to pack, I'm so late.
First, as usual, I'm sorry for any and all of my mistakes, it's really hard for me to do this without Japanese subs, but like I said in my previous post I love that they almost put everything on the screen. I'll talk a little more about my doubts on the notes XD
Second, I think I'll try subbing the other part, the part with the answers from all the members (4), just 'cause it's interesting and funny. But I haven't even started the timing there~ Now I have, just a little progress though...
Fine! Now I have some time for notes! So, let's go with them...
First of all, I named the subs file wrong, sorry! I think when I'm done with the other part I'll just change this or not...either way, it's for type A, not B as in the file's name~ gomen!
T|N
📷 The camera that Kenty has at the beginning, and I'm not sure whether it is the same from the Kirin no Ko's PV's making, either way, he says it's a film camera, meaning those which you have to do some developing afterward to get the pics, that's why he says he'll give them(the staff) their pic later...I have no idea about cameras so, that's it.
🦄 Kirin: Everything about this creature is interesting, so I add here a couple of quotes I found interesting:
Qilin generally have Chinese dragon-like features. Most notably their heads, eyes with thick eyelashes, manes that always flow upward and beards. The body is fully or partially scaled and often shaped like an ox, deer, or horse. They are always shown with cloven hooves. In modern times, the depictions of qilin have often fused with the Western concept of unicorns.
TRANSLATION: none; based on the Chinese name for the same creature
HABITAT: areas ruled by a wise and benevolent leader
DIET: purely vegetarian; never harms another creature (Source)
The kirin is a creature depicted as a unicorn. Originally from China, it is one of the four major sacred animals in Chinese mythology. This creature is known for being wise and talented. Thus, in Japan, a talented child or a prodigy is called kirinji (kirin-child). According to ancient stories, the appearance of a kirin is an affirmation that the leader of the throne is righteous. During the 15th century, when the admiral and explorer Zheng He brought a giraffe from Africa to China, the Yongle Emperor found a resemblance between the giraffe and the mythical creature (kirin or qilin in Chinese) which the emperor later used to prove his legitimacy to power. (Source)
So, basically, this mythological creature's description was pretty similar to a giraffe, so when they actually looked at one of the giraffes for the first time they just pretty much got the name. So, Kirin is also giraffe and 'kirin no ko' can be translated into 'wonder child' which is within the lyrics of the song, a prodigious kid. And I also found it is a pretty high ranked creature, as they also mentioned in the video. The link with the image is a very interesting article about these creatures.
🙇 This is about Kenty's talking I didn't catch, lol, there's this part at 8'11'' more or less it's Kenty talking about something that isn't in the video, lol, it's just the start of the video but I didn't catch that and it's out of context...just couldn't figure it out :P
🚽 This is a whole theme! lol, so, I used the word washlet, it's actually
Washlet (ウォシュレット, Woshuretto) is a registered trademark of the Japanese toilet company Toto, used for their line of cleansing toilet seats with water spray feature for genital and anal cleansing. The Washlet is an electronic bidet and commonplace on toilets in Japan. (Source)
I love having these sort of definitions in my journal, thank you SZ! So, it's a bidets toilet, since here, in my country, we have bidets, I love sharing these aspects of my life, *sarcasm*, lol, so this doesn't look so odd, but ours look like from the stone age compared to this, lol. If you look around you can find so many things about this! even portable sort of devices with the same function that just blew my mind!
High-end washlets allow selection of vibrating and pulsating jets of water (Source)
So, the question basically is about the level in which the members use the spray feature, 'cause as they mention, it has normally 5 levels, I've read of some with 8! So, as particular as Fuma is with most of the questions, lol, he doesn't pick any of the options, well, you'll see in the next video, but he refers to the vibrating or pulsating function, as one he prefers... that's info I think I never needed or asked for. LOL And this whole thing was to say that the noise of this function inspires him into writing music... I think he has a note section in his phone under the title 'washlet', again needless info... either way, he explains this better(?) in the limited edition type B.
🧁 O-mochi お餅 (Omochi Japanese Rice Cake): Japan shares the Asian tradition of rice cakes: glutinous rice that is pounded into a paste and shaped. In Japan, it is called mochi, or more usually the honorific o-mochi.
The tradition of mochimaking, or mochitsuki, has been an important one in Japan, and, is associated mainly with New Year in Japan, when mochi forms one of the most important Japanese foodstuffs of the season, in the form of “kagami-mochi” (lit. “mirror rice cake”), a stack of round or oval rice cakes which are placed on a Shinto shrine (a Shinto shrine always featuring a mirror).
The o-mochi featured here are basically shiromaru mochi (“round white rice cakes”), the kind used for the New Year kagami mochi referred to above. As you can see in the second photo, they are filled with that most popular of o-mochi fillings, bean paste, or anko. (Source)
Again in the type b video, Fuma explains that the mochi his family eats has a larger size. Also, these made me remember something we have here, these, it's nothing alike, except for the looks and I've been eating them a lot in my vacations, delicious XD
🎱 This is one of the numbers Mari-chan mentions Shori might have picked as his fave from 1-10, and actually, he was the one choosing 8, I guess it's because of this reason since he was the one mentioning it in the first place.
In Japan, the number eight is also considered lucky, but the reason is a bit different from that in Chinese ethos. The Japanese favor the number because of the shape of the character (八) The symbol broadens gradually, giving an idea of growth linked with prosperity. (Source)
Side Note 1: This part was so crazy when it was Mari-chan's card for Kenty because Fumaken thought the same thing twice, and they had to explain this to the non-Fumaken people lol. First explaining the possible numbers for Mari-chan, which brings me to the next note, which will be the FC numbers for each member... I thought they would be just like other groups having the first numbers... I think Baru was 1st, also Arashi I think they have the 1-5 numbers, right? either way... both were certain it had to be 10 or 4, and later Kenty chooses 3, and it's Fuma who explains it's because Mari-chan was born in March, and that was when Shori says 'amazing' and it's because those two are like synced... sugoi lol.
💳 About the FC card numbers I found this here:
At the launch ceremony today, the announcement of the member's member No ~‼
Sexy Zone FC member number
Shori Sato sz-00000001
← Think 0 is Johnny-san!
Kento Nakajima sz-00000777
← Lucky Seven!
Fuma Kikuchi sz-00000307
← Birthday!
Marius sz-00000104
← Angel ‥ this only can come from Marius w
Satoshi Matsushima sz-00000003
← a number he thought at the moment
Now, on Mari-chan's number, if you read it in two parts it's 10 (ten)+ 4 (shi)= tenshi= angel
I tried explaining this in the video...I hope it made sense. This all came from an old fan entry, I love finding those! XD
🎭 The Takarazuka Revue: is a Japanese all-female musical theater troupe based in Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Women play all roles in lavish, Broadway-style productions of Western-style musicals, and sometimes stories adapted from shōjo manga and Japanese folktales.
Marius Yo was born on March 30, 2000. His father is German and his mother, Akira Yo, is a former Takarazuka Revue actress of Japanese-Chinese descent.
Mari-chan has also mentioned that he wanted to become part of the Takarazuka Revue, but since he couldn't because he wasn't a girl, he became a johnny... yep.
Side Note 2: Shori-kun again, on FumaKen again. Kenty asks if they're living together when Fuma explains his sleeping schedule, lol, and Shori goes beyond using the word for cohabitation (usu. of a romantically involved couple) Just that...
👦 Again about Mari-chan and his nicknames, just in case you didn't know it, the whole name of Marius is Marius Julius Seiryū Schmich Yo, that's why Kenty keeps telling possible nicknames based on his names, but in type b video Mari-chan enumerates his nicknames.
👛 wallet generations. This is more than a note a question... Do they keep count of how many wallets they're having in his life? Really? I have no idea in my case...?
Side Note 3: Kenty talks super fast! it's in the minute 58' 32'' and I know because I heard it a lot of times, he speaks so freaking fast! Just that...
👝 Clutch Bag
A small pouch, somewhere between the size of a handbag, and a purse.
LOL, I got the definition at the description of the emoji... In the Innocent Days bonus footage, I think you can see Shori using his clutch bag... I don't remember if it was so full as Fuma mentions.
Side Note 4: Shori is indeed a lucky guy, in one of the games, Shori has like four of Fuma-kun's cards...and still Fuma loses, I think he was counting on Mari-chan's card making Shori get more than 22... Each time Shori is super lucky, lol, as Kenty always mentions... oh and I've also used personal comments for Shori again, it's just he's too cute when he laughs. XD
Also...without any particular reason Kenty changes his fellow members' names...I do the same with my friends!!, that's why he calls them Shorio and Kiku...something...I don't remember now...
And that's it, all my notes are done... I'm tired... so I hope it makes sense, I'm sorry for fangirling in the notes, but that's just me...
And that's it! I'm gone...hopefully.
On other news I love the b-sides for Stones version!! so good!
Happy B-day to Sho-kun...I'm editing this on his b-day...there omedetou!!
See you!
