SUPERCAR - LAST SCENE (Japanese music video)

submitted by JAPR

1 decade 6 years 3 months 1 week ago

This video is a rather sad but beautiful song that comes across as being about not-quite-forgotten dreams. The way I interpret it between the lyrics and video, it's about a man who wanted to be a dancer, but as you can see, just ended up another Salaryman with a boring and tiresome life. The chorus translates to "I'm just dreaming quietly, quietly, quietly..." One of my favorites, this song is quiet and beautiful, and the video just adds to its potency.

Re-queueing this video for one more try; last queued Saturday, January 12th, 2008 2:31am PST - requeue requested by submitter JAPR.

you always post the coolest japanese bands.

"I just want to dream quietly, quietly, quietly..." umm no. Let's look at this.
"shizuka ni shizuka ni tada shizuka ni yume o mite iru"
First off, 'miru' is in the 'te iru' form. He is now viewing.
Second, 'want' is not even mentioned in the sentence. So, most literally:
"Quietly, quietly, I'm just quietly viewing a dream" (or just quietly dreaming)
Any objections?

Misheard the lyrics, I don't own this single or the album on it, so I hadn't ever looked at the actual lyrics. I thought it was "mitai," he doesn't clearly pronounce it. Any objections?

Well, yes that's very understandable since he doesn't pronounce a lot of his lyrics clearly. I'm just helping with correction. Any objections?

Yeah, thanks for bringing it to my attention, though a little bit more politeness in the tone would have been appreciated.
