▶️ GIRLS BAND CRY: PRIMO TRAILER PER L'ORIGINALE SERIE MUSCIALE TARGATA TOEI ANIMATION IN ARRIVO DAL 5 APRILE!

Lo so, la computer grafica rende sempre tutto un po' strano, ma l'espressività in questo caso non sembra affatto male.

Inoltre, ho fiducia nello staff che c'è dietro. Alla regia abbiamo Kazuo Sakai (Love Live! Sunshine!!, Mushi-Uta), la sceneggiatura è del buon Jukki Hanada (Love Live!, Sound Euphonium) e le musiche sono firmate Kenji Tamai (Samurai Flamenco, Sing "Yesterday" for Me) e Yusuke Tanaka.

Altra curiosità, il chara design è ad opera di Nari Teshima, che ha creato l'avatar per la VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei :3

Kinuyo Tanaka and Isuzu Yamada in Flowing (Mikio Naruse, 1956)

Cast: Kinuyo Tanaka, Isuzu Yamada, Hideko Takamine, Mariko Okada, Haruko Sugimura, Sumiko Kurishima, Chieko Nakakita, Natsuko Kahara, Seiji Miyaguchi, Daisuke Kato. Screenplay: Toshiro Ide, Aya Koda, Sumie Tanaka, based on a novel by Koda. Cinematography: Masao Tamai. Production design: Satoru Chuko. Film editing: Eiji Ooi. Music: Ichiro Saito. 

Having been a college English teacher and a print journalist, I know something about what it's like to be in a dying profession. So I have some empathy with the women in the geisha house in Mikio Naruse's Flowing. Their story is told largely from the point of view of Rita Yamanaka (Kinuyo Tanaka), whose name the owner of the house, Otsuta (Isuzu Yamada), finds too difficult to pronounce, so she calls her Oharu, a name that will have resonance for anyone who has seen Kenji Mizoguchi's 1952 masterpiece, The Life of Oharu. But unlike Mizoguchi's heroine, this Oharu is a simple woman in a profession that will probably never vanish: a maid. Her quiet ubiquity in the house enables her to see and hear things that heighten her mistress's financial struggles and the household's eventual doom. Equally valuable is the role of Katsuya (Hideko Takamine), Otsuta's daughter, who was trained as a geisha but doesn't want to be one. She regards her mother's profession as a commodification of self. Unfortunately, Katsuya has no marketable skills and is struggling to find her way in a male-dominated world. Naruse's film is a poignant and searching commentary not only on the disappearing way of the geisha but also on the role of women in a society trying to redefine the relationship between the sexes. Tanaka, Yamada, and Takamine are three of the greatest Japanese actors; it's a treat to see them working together, and they're beautifully supported by the rest of the cast.

Partial Translation: “Nameless Name” by TOGENASHI TOGEARI (upcoming anime: GIRLS BAND CRY)

official MV / official website

Lyrics: Tobinai Masahiro & Shinya Takano

Composition: Tobinai Masahiro

Arrangement: Kenji Tamai (agehasprings) & Tobinai Masahiro

(Fictional) Band: TOGENASHI TOGEARI

Unofficial Fan Translation: Dusk

(I say partial translation because I’ll be only translating two sections and not the full song. My Japanese is not native-level, so please tell me if there are any mistakes!)

Original Japanese Lyrics

いますぐ散って散って散って

そっと そっとひとりにしないで

小節に羅列した哀しみのように

.

ずっとずっとずっと

愛を証明できるまでずっと

愛情が感情なんて信じたくない

狂える

.

English Translation

Get away, get away, get away from me right now!*

Yet quietly, quietly, I say “Don’t leave me alone…”

Like sorrow listed within bars of music

.

Never, never, never do I—**

Before I can prove love—

Never do I want to believe shit like “love is a feeling”***

It drives me crazy

.

Translation Notes

*Verb is 散る(scatter / disperse/ fall). Initially I translated it as “Within this moment, disperse, disperse, disperse” since pronouns are typically omitted in Japanese, but then reading the rest of the lyrics I realized it may be the singer saying this to another character, which I think would then make it closer to something like “Scatter (away from me) right now!” hence “Get away from me right now!”

**First line technically is closer to “Always, always, always” or “Forever and ever and ever” but the three lines together would more directly mean “Always, always, always / Before I could prove love, always / I don’t want to believe shit like ‘love is a feeling’” which I think would be better translated to “Never, never, never do I— / Before I can prove love— / Never do I want to believe shit like ‘love is a feeling’” simply because I wanted to keep the first line’s repetition to match the section before this one.

***Original lyrics don’t actually swear, but 愛情が感情なんて信じたくない has a rather strong tone due to using なんて for emphasis. なんて can be used for emphasis like 「愛が感情なんて」(“Stuff like ‘love is a feeling’” / “Shit like ‘love is a feeling’” / “Love is a feeling’, this sorta thing”)

この「井芹仁菜」(Iseri Nina)と言うの子がかわいいぃぃぃ ue ue ue… こんな歌に歌って、こんな勇気なんてぇぇぇぅぅぅ

「名もなき何もかも」がかっこいい曲です…

「小節に羅列した哀しみのように」

「愛を証明できるまでずっと

愛情が感情なんて信じたくない」

ってなんだこの心に刺さる作詞ー　すごい…

[studentofetherium]

he's not listed on anidb, but i did find his name on vgmdb, listed as "BGM" on the single releases the band did in the lead-up to the anime, so it's reasonable to say that it was him

vgmdb also lists Kenji Tamai as music producer, but that may be more for the local songs

it's truly remarkable that Girls Band Cry has good music. part of the reason why i stayed away from it at first was my concern that the music would be typical for anisong, but no, this is actually good stuff. the BGM in particular

Chase! - Kenji Tamai

Anime: Samurai Flamenco

[white-cat-of-doom]

If you wanted to know who was my favourite performer from Shiki CATS (at least currently, Yoshiko Hattori holds a special place in my heart as well), it is Miki Okudaira who plays Jellylorum/Griddlebone. She started in Shiki CATS during the Osaka 2016 run and has continued through to the current Fukuoka 2021 run, and will most likely be a part of the Nagoya 2022 run as well when it starts in July.

As Griddlebone, at a National Regional Safety Campaign event in Osaka, with Kenji Nishio as Munkustrap, 11 October 2016:

As Griddlebone, visiting the Imado Shrine in Tokyo, thought to be the originating location of the maneki-neko figurine, with Yuki Yamanaka as Rumpleteazer, Yuzuki Miyokawa as Sillabub, and Kazuya Kamikawa as Rum Tum Tugger, 22 April 2019:

In the Fukuoka 2021 run, 2021/2022 (photos from January 2022, execpt the Pyramid photo from October 2021):

(Namiko Hanada as Jennyanydots, Saeko Noda as Tantomile, and Mayumi Fujita as Jemima.)

(Kohei Nakahashi as Growltiger.)

(Kanako Fujiwara as Sillabub, Haruaki Tamai as Mungojerrie, Mayumi Fujita as Jemima, So Yokoi as Mistoffelees, and Ryuji Matsunaga as Tumblebrutus.)

In broader cast photos from Fukuoka 2021, where she has a look of surprised confusion on her face:

(Kenshin Mori as Rumpus Cat, Eiko Kataoka as Rumpleteazer, Yuki Takahashi as Old Deuteronomy, Taijun Kanemoto as Munkustrap, Yurie Sato as Bombalurina.)

Shoutout to her for always looking so happy and smiling, and for holding that long Griddlebone tail!

元気ロケッツ - Heavenly Star

[shadowkage]

Lyricist: aimerrhythm Composer: Masahiro Tobinai Arrangement: Kenji Tamai・Tobinai Masahiro 

On a silent and calm evening, a floating small boat became a cradle for a traveler whose scars all over his body 

How sad, his sleeping face as if let nobody could get close to him 

Without knowing this place, just go towards north and north 

 Our hands supposed to be entwined together, but now they're getting loose It seems, from the very beginning 

You couldn’t accept "to be loved" 

You always confused on your way No wonder, you couldn't back home 

All you could do was scream and hope for someone's help but it'd reach nobody 

"I'm all alone..."  I won't let you say such sad thing like that anymore 

Days when your heart was wavering, seepage of last night rain would flow on the top of your scars as if it'd erase your past 

 These ropes supposed to be fastened but now they're getting loose 

It seems, from the very beginning, this boat unable to stay in place  You always confused on your way  No wonder you couldn't back home 

You still scream,  hope someone'd find you but it would reach nobody 

"I know, I'm all alone..." You were waiting in loneliness while hugged both of your knees 

 You always wandered on your way Now, you couldn't scream anymore 

All you could do was walking and walking through the darkness 

“This is my way to survive, always all alone” I won't let you say such things anymore 

 Your determination is nothing more than a false courage Merely make ripple on water's surface 

As if, from the very beginning, you could fly towards the sky 

 Anytime, anybody who couldn't back home 

They'd try to scream and hope someone'd find them  but it'd reach nobody 

They were waiting all alone in lonely while hugged both of knees 

 We always wandered on our way Above waves, all waves 

No path for us to follow This boat keeps sailing forward and just floating 

This is our way to survive Now, the two of us have nowhere to go I’ll always be by your side 

Even when you couldn't hold back your tears and started to cry I’ll be a faint ray in the darkness 

We've been keeping this way to survive  I want to be yours only 

Polaris for you, and solely for you

Aimer – After Rain / Aimer – After Rain アルバム/ Album: After Dark \ After Dark 作詞/ Lyricist: aimerrhythm 作曲/ Composer: Kenji Tamai & KOMODA 発売日/ Release date: 2013/11/20 KANJI LYRICS (歌詞): ぬれたシャツとぬれた頬　アスファルト 帰り道はいつもより　ちょっと寂しげ 線路沿いに咲く小さな花でも 凍えた体　揺らしてる だから　昨日よりもずっと綺麗な　眩しいあなたがそこにいる 風に口づけ　歩いていける　大丈夫 昨日よりも　きっと確かに　輝く明日がそこにある 空に飾ろう　花束　今は知らない　花の名は ちぎれ雲と雨上がり　街路樹 帰り道はいつもより　ちょっと綺麗で 雨の匂いなら　気付けば遠くへ 消える頃には愛しくなる…
