Ahhh, I found a lot more by the people who made the video! http://sleepersfilm.com/

Hey Dim-san,

Can you translate this song or at least tell me the meaning of this song?

I think it is a sad lovesong.

Hahah I wish... I am saving up to buy the Rosetta Stone program to try and start learning Japanese. I'd rather take a class, but absolutely none near me.

It is so awesome you like these videos! One of the things I love the most is when people sincerely enjoy music I also really like or something I've recommended. I have been showing the videos to a lot of people and most seem to really like them. I think one of the things that makes them so good is in pretty much every video you can tell the artists are really passionate about the music.. that and they just sound awesome.

This one http://sleepersfilm.com/liveshow/4bonjo ... index.html and this one http://sleepersfilm.com/liveshow/golf/index.html#sunset are definitely my favorite... but I like them all!

I will write down the link and ask one of the sushi guys to watch, and tell us what it is about. It will be a couple of weeks, though, before we go back to eat there.

dont get Rosetta stone. Pimsleur is better. i get comments about how good an accent/grammar i have. the only problem is that Pimsleur kind of limits you to certain phrases that you know well, but those phrases also enable you to ask questions properly.

ive used Rosetta Stone and it does help in some aspects. it teaches you random words and that is very important. you tend to sound like a 4 year old trying to communicate like that though.

if you have skype, send me a message with your name. i have dozens of japanese tutorials/videos that ive collected from the net over the years and would be happy to share them with you.


all of this being said, i cant translate that song. i hear a lot of "i this... i that.... i am...." but japanese is much different in spoken form and singing form. japanese is generally toneless when spoken- there are only a few accents. when singing though, there are accent points that are purely for artistic quality. that confuses the hell out of me.
