I found this new series a few weeks about this protag where he wants to paint the “ultimate nude” painting and it’s starting to get more interesting

Hello everyone🍉🤍

Don't skip this please 🥺 🙏

My name is Hamza and I have been living under the genocide in northern Gaza for more than a year, me and eight members of my family (me, my father Hamdan, my mother Reem, my brother Abdul Fattah, my sister Aseel, my brother Mohammed, my brother Issa 15 years old, my brother Khaled 3 years old). The occupation destroyed our house and we are now homeless and living in a shelter center. These are pictures of our house after it was destroyed.💔

These are pictures of the place where we live now, where there is no privacy or the minimum requirements for life ❗

I spend my day searching for food to satisfy my family's hunger, which goes many days without at least one meal.

This is a picture of my older brother Abdel Fattah, who was injured in his foot and underwent surgery and a platinum device was placed in his foot. He needs healthy food and constant cleanliness in order to fully recover.

My younger brothers spend most of their time in water queues and searching for firewood to light a fire for cooking. We share the daily tasks. This is my younger brother Khaled, 3 years old, who did not understand what home and safety are. Now he only understands displacement and hunger. 😭💔

Please donate or share, every dollar makes a difference in improving my family's circumstances 🙏❤️❤️

Sailor Moon Cosmos Movie - The Three Lights new song 「Star Line」 English Translation Breakdown Pt. 1

So I just finished translating the lyrics of the Three Lights new song 「Star Line」 and I wanted to break down all the nuanced language that was used (that machine translation won't tell you lol) because OH BOY does it add SO MUCH. Disclaimer that I'm no professional translator, so if there are any mistakes or additional meanings that I missed, please let me know!!

Let's jump right into it and start off with the first verse:

Amai koi no kaori matotte mo sono kokoro wa mitasarenai no kai? Oh you... oh you…

Even if I’m wearing the sweet fragrance of love Is there no way for me to satisfy your heart? Oh you… Oh you…

Here the Japanese uses the sentence ender "no kai" which is typically used towards children or...girlfriends. Just who is it we're talking to so intimately, HMMMM??

The next verse is more poetic:

Kimi no te ni sotto fureru dake de Sono hoshi no hikari de wakarunda It’s you… it’s you…

With just a gentle touch of your hand I can tell by that starlight It’s you… It’s you…

Now this is a very literal translation, but there's more to it than "I can tell by that starlight/the light of that star it's you..." We're not talking about the light of the stars above. In this case, that starlight is a direct result of the hands brushing--it's more akin to sparks flying. A more poetic translation would be something like "I can tell that you're the one from the sparks that fly when our hands brush" but I didn't want to wander too far from the original.

Moving into the bridge, we see something interesting going on with the kanji/given reading:

Hate shinai [sora] wo koe deaeta Furueta kimi no hāto wa hanasanai We fatefully met across an endless galaxy I’ll never let go of your trembling heart

Again, I went with a literal translation here according to the official lyrics as they were written. I chose to include "fatefully" as it sounded nicer than "per chance" which "deaeta" implies.

However, what's more interesting is what's going on with [sora] which means sky. I put it in brackets because the in the song they sing "sora/sky", but the official lyrics assign the kanji "galaxy" to the word. This adds context, clarifying that this meeting happened not only underneath this very sky, but rather across the entire universe/within this specific galaxy.

In case you weren't sure who this song is about, this detail gives you another hint: It's someone from a totally different galaxy.

I want to chip away slowly at the chorus because this next line holds so much meaning there are literal articles on the one phrase used here:

Koikogarezu ni kono ai ni Oborenayo oborenayo Longing so deeply for this love Don’t drown in it, don’t drown

The phrase "koikogareru" has VERY deep meaning. On the surface, it just means to be deeply in love with someone. HOWEVER, it also carries a strong sense of longing. There is sometimes the context of that love being out of reach or impossible, like with an upperclassman or even a teacher/instructor. This intense yearning can cause pain because of how overwhelming it can be, but in other cases it can simply be considered admiration. It depends on the context, which the rest of the phrase provides:

The second half of this sentence references that intense feeling of love, and follows up with the repetition of "don't drown in it [those feelings]" / "don't lose your head over it" doubling down on the sense of struggle against the feelings. This isn't just admiration, it's a feeling that is so deep they have to tell themselves over and over again that they mustn't drown/lose themselves in it.

This is the phrase that set me off on picking apart the nuances of the translation because it adds SO MUCH MEANING that English speakers would miss if they were just running things through machine translation, or just looking at a literal translation.

Anyway, I'll break down the rest of the chorus and get into verse two soon, but I'll leave things at that for now. If you'd like to see the whole translation I posted it here:

https://wikimoon.org/index.php/Star_Line

Please let me know if I missed anything or got something wrong!! I'd love to hear what other Japanese speakers think ^^

Song: Magical Girl and Chocolate (Pinocchio-P ft. Hatsune Miku)

Key: Lyrics in pink, romaji in bold, descriptions in black

CWS: Racism, fetishization, death.

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

In a world where pureness backfires on us Junsui ga ada ni naru sekai de

[ Mary is standing solo upon a stage, the spotlight shining directly on her. She isn’t in her straightjacket, and instead is wearing a full maid uniform: a pink maid dress with a white apron. She stands with her wrists and ankles chained together as the audience gazes. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

Can I fight again next week? Mata raishuu mo tatakaeru kana

[ Zooming in on Mary’s expression, we see the anxiety on her face as she looks at the ceiling, gritting her teeth in an attempt to smile for the audience. On the last word, the screen fades to black. ]

I'll wear a cute costume and shine in a pose Kawaii ishou matotte kime poozu de hikatte

Turn my pure feelings into magic Pyua na omoi mahou ni kaete

[ Mary is smiling, preparing to go to an interview for her job. ]

I’ll wish peace for everyone and stand up to the evil Minna no heiwa negatte jaaku ni tachimukatte

That, the anonymous dissed Sore o tokumei wa disutta

[ As she enters the room, her eyes widen and she lowers her head as shadowed figures loom over her, grinning. ]

"You're really XXX, aren't you?" "hontou wa 〇〇 nan desho?"

“To be honest, you’re XXX, aren't you?" "bucchake 〇〇 nan desho?"

[ With each “XXX” or bleep, the screen is covered with static. When we flash back to Mary again, we see her covering her ears so she can’t hear them. ]

Because that's what you believe Jibun ga sou omou kara

You want everyone to be XXX, don't you Minna 〇〇 de atte hoshii ndesho

[ A shot of her fist balling at her side, static covering the screen on the final “XXX”. ]

With a worn-out, common rumor Sonna teaka no tsuita yoku aru fuuhyou de

[ We see Mary preparing for her first client as a maid. She’s taking a deep breath as she reaches for the door. ]

My magic stick rusts away Sabitsuku mahou no sutekki

[ The camera zooms in and focuses on the broom in her hand. ]

Who knows, who knows Shiran shiran

[ Mary has a smile on her face as the door opens. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai (haa)

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai (haa)

'Cause I don't know who's friend or foе Dare ga teki ka mikata ka wakannai shi

[ We see Mary vigorously cleaning the client’s house. The older woman seems to be staring at her suspiciously. ]

“Sly”, “Greedy”, “Ridiculous”, “Outrageous” "inken" de "gouyoku" de "kokkei" de "gedou" de

Like chocolate that mеlts magic Mahou ga tokeru choko mitai ni

[ With each word (“Sly”, “Greedy”, “Ridiculous”, “Outrageous”), a new arrow points right at Mary’s face. Before she’s even able to finish her job, she’s judged as a bad person and kicked out of the house. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

In a world where pureness backfires on us Junsui ga ada ni naru sekai de

[ Mary is leaning against the wall outside of the client’s house, staring down at the ground. Her expression shows that she’s upset, yet accustomed to this treatment. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai (haa)

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai (haa)

I only want to protect the ones I love Mou suki na hito dake mamotte itai

[ By the end of the third line, we see Mary coming home to where her family is. Her mother seems to have a saddened look on her face, while her younger sister just looks annoyed or even disgusted. ]

Я DAN-DAN-DI-DAN-DAN-DAN-DI-DAN Я DAN-DAN-DI-DAN-DAN-DAN-DI Я dandandidan dandandidan Я dandandidan dandandi

[ We see Mary sitting and talking with her family. ]

I'm getting more and more selfish, my magic is boiling over Dandan to migatte ni naru maryoku ga nietatsu

The potion mixed with dissatisfaction goes poof Fuman de chougou shita pooshon ga parin poof

[ The above description continues until the very last line: “poof”. On that word, the screen darkens, almost as if the colors are inverted.

"You're all XXX, right?” "omaera 〇〇 nan desho?"

"You’re all XXX deep inside, right?” "shoune ga 〇〇 nan desho?"

[ Her sister’s face, still with inverted colors, is zoomed in on, almost as if she’s the one saying these hurtful things towards Mary. Like before, the screen gets covered in static on the “XXX” lines. ]

I’m so angry, I’ll XXX you all in my head Ikari ni makase nounai de 〇〇 shichau deshou

[ On the very last “XXX”, a red X appears over her sister’s face. ]

Retaliation is nonsense, don't let it bother me Yarikaeshi wa nansensu ki ni yan demo suruu desu

A brooch that lost its light Hikari ushinatta buroochi

[ Mary is preparing to enter another client’s apartment. ]

I’m rotting, I’m rotting Kusaru kusaru

[ Mary doesn’t smile as the client opens the door; this time, her expression is preparing for the worst. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai (haa)

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai (haa)

Every time I meet the expectations of my audience Shichousha no kitai ni kotaeru tabi ni

[ Mary is cleaning the house of an older man who seems to be checking her out. ]

“Perfect", “Superhuman", “Honest”, “Innocent" "kanpeki" de "choujin" de "seiren" de "keppaku" de

Like chocolate covered with lies Uso de katameta choko mitai ni

[ These words also fill Mary with hatred, yet she continues cleaning rather obsessively, trying to ignore it. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

The sweet taste is addictive, isn't it Amai aji ga yamitsuki deshou

[ Mary is paid a rather hefty sum for her efforts. She has very little reaction. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai (haa)

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai (haa)

[ Mary walks out of the man’s house as he waves goodbye to her. ]

Aren’t you waiting for everyone to say “please don’t quit”? "yamenaide" tte iwaren no kitai shitenai?

[ Mary pulls a slip of paper out of the envelope; it seems to be the man’s number. She discards it immediately. ]

The good-intentioned XXX Fan no zen'i no 〇〇 mo

And the worrying XXX of my fans Shinpai shiteru 〇〇 mo

XXXXX!! 〇〇〇〇〇!!

It's all fallen on deaf ears Subete mimi o fusaide shimatta no

[ During this set of lines, Mary is back on that stage again, with her wrists and ankles chained. Each “XXX” makes static cover the screen like before, and when the static goes away, Mary’s eyes widen in horror. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai

'Cause I don't know who's friend or foe Dare ga teki ka mikata ka wakannai shi

[ While walking home from another job, Mary sees police investigating the home of the male client she had been paid a hefty sum from. ]

“Sly”, “Greedy”, “Ridiculous”, “Outrageous” "inken" de "gouyoku" de "kokkei" de "gedou" de

Like chocolate that melts magic Mahou ga tokeru choko mitai ni

[ Mary peeks in the open doorway to see the man dead, appearing to have been stabbed. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

I’ll use my magic to erase them all Mahou de saitei na hito o kesou

[ Mary’s horrified expression is zoomed in on. ]

To be honest, I want to quit (sigh) Haa shoujiki mou yametai (haa)

I want to quit being a magical girl (sigh) Mahou shoujo o yametai (haa)

I’ve erased myself as well, goodbye Jibungoto kiechatte sayounara

[ Mary flees from the scene, but she doesn’t realize that one of the policemen saw her. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

In a world where pureness backfires on us Junsui ga ada ni naru sekai de

[ Her bosses at her job look at her in disapproval. She seems to have been fired. ]

Я LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA LALI-PA-PALA-PA-PA-PALA-PA Я raripapparapappapparappa Raripapparapappapparappa

I hope you'll watch me again next week Mata raishuu mo mite kureru kana

[ Mary returns home, that look of anxiety on her face again as she debates on what to tell her family. The screen then cuts to black. ]

Did this for fun (didn't find it for myself when needed), if there's mayor mistakes lets fix it then :>

It’s like a fairy tale 二人で 歩んだ日々を Celebrate 君の声で目覚めて　朝のキスで I just can’t stay away その瞳見つめると 胸の奥に隠した痛みも 嘘みたいに姿を消すんだ

掌には君がくれたものが あるから　そう明日も生きていける

Listen to my soul どしゃ降りの雨が降って 動けなくなっても Listen to my soul 僕が君の傘となって I’ll make you feel alright 何も迷うことはない 疲れたら I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul この先も手を取り合って 響かせるハーモニー Can you feel it now?

Together you & I 二人で 沈んだ日々を Levitate 意味なんてない景色に 意味をつけた You are my reason 君が横で笑うと 皮肉で溢れていた世界も 優しさ身に纏っていくんだ

It’s like a fairy tale; I wanna celebrate the days we’ve faced together Waking up to the sound of your voice and a good morning kiss, I just can’t stay away When I gaze into your eyes, the pain I held deep inside my heart seems to disappear just like that

In my hand I still hold what you gave me, and with it I know I can face tomorrow

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

Together you & I, the two of us make our past days levitate * This scenery had no meaning to it until I gave it one; you are my reason When you laugh while you’re by my side, even this world that’s full of cynicism seems to become wrapped in kindness

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

When the rain ends, let’s go look for the rainbow that spans some part of the sky

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

* Shizumu means “a day ending”, but also more literally “to sink”
