Kuwata Keisuke - Yoshiko-san (Lyrics/Romaji/Translation)

Aug 03, 2016 11:04


So this isn't JE, but I found this song hilarious. For some context, Kuwata Keisuke has been around for quite a while, and is iconic in J-Pop (also being the frontman for Southern All Stars).



R&Bって何だよ、お兄ちゃん(Dear Friend)?
HIPHOPっての教(おせ)えてよ もう一度(Refrain)
オッサンそういうの疎いのよ 妙に
サタデー・ナイトはディスコでフィーバー

R&B tte nandayo dear friend?
HIPHOP tte no oseeteyo refrain
ossan sou iu no utoinoyo myou ni
saturday night wa disco de fever

Hey brother, what is R&B?
Please teach me about hip hop again.
This old man's out of the loop, strangely
On saturday nights it's disco fever!

EDMたぁ何だよ、親友(Dear Friend)?
"いざ"言う時は勃たないヤツかい?
"サブスクリブション"まるで分かんねぇ
"ナガオカ針"しか記憶にねぇよ

EDM taa nandayo dear friend?
Iza iu toki wa tatanai yatsu kai?
Sabusukuribushon marude wakan nee
Nagaokahari shika kioku ni nee yo

My good friend, what is EDM?
When you say "now", is that referring to those people that can't get it up?
What is a "subscription"?
I only remember Nagaoka record needles

I fell in love with a cute girl
Yoshiko-san I love you
"Don't brood over her" I thought, as I started to sing Dylan songs
Everybody say, Ah...ah...ah...ah

As time went by, I got dumped
There's no returning to Yoshiko-san
I said goodbye to Bowie with "Black Star"
Everybody say, Ah...ah...ah...ah

Notes:
(1) チキドン (chikidon) is probably a shortening of チキン丼 (chicken donburi).
(2) Subscription - likely referring to music streaming services
(3) Nagoka hari - likely referring to a company called Nagaoka that makes needles for record players.
(4) Dylan - likely referring to Bob Dylan
(5) Erobon - erotic books
(6) Joukame soba - this isn't a typical menu item, but seems to be a higher-quality version of regular duck soba.
