Learn Japanese Today

For all you loyal readers who noticed, the Word of the Week for this week will be tomorrow as I missed it on Saturday. The US Open took its toll on my blogging ability.

This song is one of my all time faves. What I really like about The Radwimps is that out of the many Japanese bands that frequently sing in English, their English is actually good. Like really good. I know that’s not exactly important to learning Japanese; but at the same time, it’s always frustrating to be focusing hard on learning Japanese from a song and all of a sudden hear “I rearry want you back.”

Just saying.

So enjoy this video, it’s one of the better YouTube music videos I’ve seen, and done all in Microsoft Paint. Check it OUT!

And thanks to loyal reader Joel, who rightfully hates Romaji, here are the lyrics in the appropriate kanji and kana. I’ll try to find the lyrics in actual Japanese as often as I can, but I’m just saying, sometimes you might have to deal with romaji, because I don’t have time to write the lyrics down myself. Sorry. Them’s the brakes.

なんやかんやと　溢れてるけど
ここにあるもの　ここにないもの
それで全てです

今言えること　それはなんだろう
生きてることと　死んでくことと
それくらいです

他にも何かないかと思いまして　歌を歌ってるわけです

あなた一人と　ほか全人類
どちらか一つ救うとしたら
どっちだろかな？
迷わずYOU!!!!

Monday　泣いて
Tuesday　吐いて
Wednesday　やってらんねぇってなっても
Saturday Sunday　笑っていいんですか

I hope your coming with me today
It’s a shame, it’s a shame if you’re clogging your mind

Now don’t you ever say it’s like the end
It’s OK, it’s OK, not even started yet

I hope you remember this word I said
Then everyday, everyday will be a holiday

OPQRSTUVW double you and me let’s slide along side
Both you and me let’s slide along side
