much like felix fathom, the first ethical male yandere, fakir princess tutu was the first ethical male tsundere. as it turns out, a story about taking pride in your free will as an individual and deciding to do things your own way regardless of what others say is actually pretty feminist

花はかすかに (Hana wa Kasuka ni) lyrics

Hana wa Kasuka ni Performed by: Kei (Singer: Fujita Ray)

JAPANESE ============ (transcribed from the album booklet)

声が聞こえない（移り気なステップは) 声が聞きたい（追うほど遠ざかる)

君が投げた花から（香る甘い睦言) いつまでも（胸の奥に) きらめく夢の記憶

自由に空を舞う 小鳥は この手にとまりはしない（飛び立っていく)

叶うなら もう一度 会いたくて（触れ合いたくて）抱き締めたい 振り返らずに駆けていく君 追いつけないままに ためいきで ひとり 目覚める

ガラス越しに （眠れない夜を数え) 壊れてく （臆病な） 運命を呪っても

交わることのない道だと わかってる それでも君を （求め 名前を呼ぶよ）

ただひとり君だけに 奪われた （奪いたかった） 心ひとつ 出会わなければ 知らずに済んだ 胸の痛みさえも 色褪せぬ花に 似ている

ためらう手にくちづけ 祈るようにひざまずき 君を虜にした (俺はもう君もの）

叶うなら もう一度 会いたくて（触れ合いたくて） 抱き締めたい 出会わなければ 知らずに済んだ 胸の痛みさえも 色褪せぬ花に 似ている

君を永遠(とわ)に ああ 愛している

ROMAJI  ============

Koe ga kikoenai (Utsurigina suteppu wa) Koe ga kikitai (ou hodo touzakaru)

Kimi ga nageta hana kara (Kaoru amai mutsugoto) Itsumade mo (Mune no oku ni) Kirameku yume no kioku

Jiyuu ni sora wo mau kotori wa Kono te ni tomari wa shinai (Tobitatte iku)

Kanau nara mou ichido Aitakute (Fureaitakute) Dakishimetai Furikaerazu ni kakete iku kimi Oitsukenai mama ni Tameiki de hitori mezameru

Garasu koshi ni (Nemurenai yoru wo kazoe) Kowareteku (Okubyou na) Unmei wo norotte mo

Majiwaru koto no nai michi da to Wakatteru sore demo kimi wo (Motome namae wo yobu yo)

Tada hitori kimi dake ni Ubawareta (Ubaitakatta) Kokoro hitotsu Deawanakereba shirazu ni sunda Mune no itami sae mo iroasenu hana ni niteiru

Tamerau te ni kuchizuke Inoru you ni hizamazuki Kimi wo toriko ni shita (Ore wa mou kimi mono)

Kanau nara mou ichido Aitakute (Fureaitakute) Dakishimetai Deawanakereba shirazu ni sunda Mune no itami sae mo Iroasenu hana ni niteiru

Kimi wo towa ni aa aishiteiru

ENGLISH ============

I can't hear you (Your fickle steps) I want to hear your voice (The more I chase them, the further they go)

From the flower you threw (A sweet aroma of intimate words) Forever and eternally (Deep in my chest) Memories of a sparkling dream

The little bird flying free in the sky It won’t stop within this hand (It’s bound to fly away)

If it could come true one more time I want to see you (And to touch you) I want to hold you You run without looking back I’m unable to catch up with you With a sigh, I wake all alone

Breaking through the glass (Counting the sleepless nights) Cursing the cowardice of fate

Our paths will never cross I know, but I still want you (I’m calling out your name)

By you alone My one heart had been stolen away If I hadn't met you, I never would have known Even the pain in my heart resembles a flower whose color never fades

A kiss upon a hesitant hand Kneeling like in prayer I’m captivated by you (I'm already yours)

If it could come true one more time I want to see you (And to touch you) I want to hold you If I hadn't met you, I never would have known Even the pain in my heart resembles a flower whose color never fades

I love you for eternity

==========

When the full version of the song came out with BLACKSTAR IV, I was finally freed from the pain of waiting through the last three albums for it. It's been my absolute favorite since first I played it in the game.

Apologies for any mistakes in the interpretation or grammar. With the song structure and way the lyrics are formatted (especially Yoshino’s parts cutting in), it was hard understanding some context and piecing it all into something coherent.

I might be overreaching but I noticed the lyrics shared a few similarities with “La fleur que tu m'avais jetee / The Flower Song” from the original source opera of Carmen.

Forgotten Homework Episode 6

Kuro: Hm? It looks like we’re getting a call from the other teams 

Shu: We were told we could contact the other teams if we got lost. Could it be that one of the teams has already given up? 

Kuro: Who knows. Maybe they’ve already reached the goal 

Shu: It’s only been an hour since we started, I think that’s far too early…?

Kuro: I don’t know. Well we won’t know until we pick up. The call is from… Tenma’s team 

Hello, what’s up, Tenma? 

Mitsuru: "Ah, you finally picked up… Uwah! The screen is pitch black!"

Kuro: Hm? Ah, my bad. It’s a facetime. I didn’t realise 

Nagisa: "...We wanted to talk while looking at your faces. Sorry for bothering you so suddenly"

Kuro: Don’t worry about it. We were just having some silly small talk, so we aren’t particularly busy  

Shu: So what’s the matter? 

I’m sure it's not just because you want to see our pitiful expressions, hm? 

Mitsuru: "Yeah! Actually—"

Mitsuru: Tada! Look look, Oshisan-senpai. All that bread looks tasty, right? 

Shu: "...You two are already making detours?"

Mitsuru: Ehehe. We didn’t plan to, but when we smelled freshly-baked bread we bought it 

*Chew chew*... Yu~m! This anpan is so delicious~♪ 

Shu: "Non! Don’t talk while eating. It’s poor manners!"

Mitsuru: Wawah, I’m sorry! It looked so good I just had to eat it 

Shu: "Honestly. I had wondered what you were doing, calling us out of the blue"

Mitsuru: Ehehe. We found a tasty-looking bakery, so I thought I should tell Oshisan-senpai, who loves bread just as much as I do

Shu: "I don’t particularly like bread as a whole though…?"

Mitsuru: Eh, really? 

Shu: "I don’t really enjoy food in the first place. Of course, croissants are the exception"

Nagisa: …The croissants are really tasty too. *Chew chew*

Shu: "Agh…Ran! Why are *you* eating a croissant!?"

Nagisa: …It looked good. Fufu, The outside is crispy and the inside is fluffy 

…The subtle sweetness of the wheat and the aroma of butter are nice. I just can’t stop eating 

Shu: "Don’t go on about your impressions of the taste! Don’t pretend to be a gourmand!"

Kuro: "You don’t need to get so angry, Itsuki. Are you hungry?"

Shu: "I’m nothing of the sort. However, I don’t like the way they don’t care about our predicament and are showing off their leisurely tea time"

"Ha, as expected of a former member of fine. Lucky you"

Kuro: "He’s only eating a croissant, you’re too stubborn…" 

Mitsuru: It’s okay, Oshisan-senpai. I don’t know where we are but I remember the name of the store! 

Besides, if you really wanna have some, I’ll buy you a croissant as a souvenir  

Shu: "Hmph. There’s no need to worry, Tenma. If you just tell me the name of the store I can buy one later"

Nagisa: …Fufu. To do that we’d have to figure out where we are

Kuro: "So from the looks of it, you guys still can’t find your bearings"

"I’ll try calling Morisawa’s group next. I wanna know their situation too"

Chiaki: —Fuhahahaha! We know exactly where we are!

Mitsuru: Eeh! Really, "Chia-chan-senpai?"

Chiaki: Do I have any reason to lie? I can already see the way to ES 

A hero has no time to get lost. If there’s someone who needs help, we have to rush there right away

Although, it’s all thanks to Hakaze that we found our location so quickly

Kaoru: In our case, there were quite a lot of hints at our starting point 

Nagisa: "...So you started by the sea. It’s amazing how you can figure out the current location based on the terrain. As expected of Kaoru-kun"

Kaoru: It’s not that big of a deal. We also had a meta theory that it wouldn’t be far from ES

Although At this rate I think our team will be the first to reach our goal. Yay, Moricchi♪ 

Chiaki: Yep! We’ll be the first to reach our destination and give everyone a grand welcome when they return…☆

Mitsuru: "Aw…No way! Nagisa-senpai, let’s dash back to ES!"

"It’s annoying to lose to Chia-chan-senpai’s team like this!"

Nagisa: "...I don’t plan on losing like this either. Let’s catch up to Chiaki-kun’s team"

Mitsuru: "Yean! Alright, see you later. Kiryu~senpai, Oshisan-senpai!"

"I won’t give up first place to Chia-chan-senpai’s team, dash dash~☆"

Kaoru: Ah, he hung up. Did we provoke him too much? 

Chaiki: No, I think it’s okay. In fact, Tenma-kun seemed even more motivated

I guess desire to finish first is stronger than anyone else's 

Kaoru: Fufu. Now that we’ve come this far I’m starting to feel like I want to finish first 

Shu: "It’s as if no none is considering our circumstances"

Kuro: "We had a late start. It’s my fault though…"

Kaoru: Good luck to Itsuki-kun’s team as well. We’ll be waiting for you at the goal♪ 

Kuro: It seems like the other teams are doing well. We can’t be too careless either 

Shu: Honestly. We’ve all lost sight of our purpose. The aim of this project wasn’t to turn it into a competition 

Kuro: I guess. But isn’t it frustrating when people from the other teams greet you with smug faces saying “you’re late”?

Shu: …It really is irritating

Kuro: Right? So it’s decided, we’ll find a way to get back to ES with all our effort too  

Shu: …Hm? Wait, Kiryu. Look over there 

Kuro: That’s a bus stop. What a lifesafer. Let’s look at the timetable…

Shu: Hmm… It seems this bus is only stopping at places I’ve never heard of. If we’re careless we may end up moving away from our destination 

Kuro: Though it looks like one of the stops is a station. Can’t we catch a train there? 

Shu: We can reach more familiar places at the station than we can at the bus stop. However

Kuro: Hm? What, you don’t seem very eager…

Shu: It’s you I’m concerned about. Travelling by bus and then riding the train. Won’t your motion sickness become worse? 

Kuro: …I can’t exactly say I’ll be alright 

It took us an hour to get here by car. I don’t think ES is even close to walking distance 

So if we’ve got no choice but to use public transport, I’m already prepared 

Shu: …I don’t think being prepared will stop your motion sickness 

But I don’t want to worry about it anymore. It seems the bus is about to arrive

Stepping away from shipping for a moment (shocking I know), this exchange between Sudo and Kaoru had some very interesting wording in Japanese and I wonder if a bit of nuance has been lost in Crunchyroll's translation.

Here's the breakdown:

The line of interest to me, in Japanese, is [ 只の人間 / ただのにんげん / tada no ningen ] - this is of course just going off ear - to be truly precise I'd have to get my hands on the raw manga pages but I'm pretty confident in this assessment so just Trust Me Bro. Now, Crunchy translated this as normal person which would be fine if not for the context - that being, this is a scifi show with humans and robots and all sorts of muddying in-between areas. The phrase normal person lacks the oomph that tada no ningen really implies. If I wanted to express the mild sentiment of normal person in Japanese for example, I'd go with something like [ 普通の人 / ふつうのひと / futsuu no hito ]

The largest differences between this is the subject - hito vs ningen.

Hito refers somewhat vaguely to 'a person' - just a person, man or woman, biologically whatever. Ningen on the other hand is strictly referring to humanity. Humans. Homo-sapiens. As in, not Humanoid or AI. A person like them, but very much organic flesh and blood, made the ol' fashioned way.

Put normal person and normal human beside each other and you can already sense a difference in weight between them, am I right?

But now lets look at the descriptors - futsuu vs tada.

Futsuu would be my word of choice when describing something as normal because it means just that; normal, average, ordinary, everyday, humdrum, and so on. But Sudo and Kaoru don't say futsuu, they say tada. Tada can mean something normal or ordinary, sure, but it also implies a harsher sort of unremarkable value - like saying its just X or just Y, a mere this or that. As with ningen, there's more weight to it.

And in combining this weightiness with the context of who's talking and the series as a whole, I think an altogether better translation would have been mere human.

A mere human couldn't possibly understand MICHI's aims, Sudo claims. To this, Kaoru implies that Sudo is no mere human. But then what is he?

Dr. Sudo Hikaru laughs, he pouts, he gets angry and sad and likes sweet things.

He was seemingly adopted by his Humanoid mother, but fell ill at a young age. There was something wrong at the root of him, something that his mother risked everything to cure. He has a need for mysterious blood tests, covertly telling his nurse that he's 'the same as usual' when that doesn't really mean he's not ill, just unchanged.

He's quietly and stubbornly resisting MICHI's will, whatever that really is. And despite being seemingly human, his eyes are devoid of light. Other humans, humanoids, robots, and even the (AI)mighty super computer itself all have a gleam to their eyes that make them appear lively. Now, this difference is never remarked upon in-universe, so I assume it's just a visual cue - but for what? Sudo is different, somehow. Different enough for MICHI to want him in on its plan for the future more than anyone else.
