--------------------------------------------
M: pizzicato five's ugo-ugo lhuga
R: hello mademoiselle
M: hello
R: how do you do
M: how do you do
R: i'm fine thank you
So... what if we tried to
Pretend this is a french class
And translated all the songs
Titles to french?
M: let's do it!
R: ok so... the first song is
"the night is still young"
(seven pm in tokyo)
M: you got it
R: so in french you should say...
"il est sept heures de nuit
A tokyo"
M: il est sept heures... euh..
A tokyo...
R: sept heures de nuit
M: sept heures euh..
Nuit
R: that's it! "de nuit" means
"night" in english
M: mmm
R: sept heures de nuit
A tokyo
M: it means "yoru" in japanese,
Right?
R: precisely!
Repeat after me...
Il est sept heures de nuit
A tokyo
M: il est sept heures euh...
Nuit a tokyo
R: exactly!
Very good mademoiselle
Wonderful!
Okay so...
The second song's
Title is...
Love love show
M: love love show
R: love love show
*some* title we've got here
M: so how do you say this in
English i mean
Japanese i mean
How do you say this in french?
R: this is
Amour amour mon amour
M: amour amour mon amour
R: that's it!
And a good translation it is
Now let's try to give it
Some feeling
Mon amour
M: mon amour
R: that's it.
Try to think of
A godard film
Mon amour mademoiselle
Mon amour
M: mon amour
R: that's it very good!
Ok now
The third song
Is called shiritori
M: yes...
R: the french don't have
An equivalent to
Our shiritori
So we'll have to stick to
The japanese word
Shi-ri-to-ri
M: shi-ri-to-ri
R: yeah...
All you have to do is
Say "ri" with a french accent
And it sounds
Like french...
That's what's good about
French
Shiritori
M: shiritori
R: for instance let's try to
Apply the rule
Say "yakitori"
M: yakitori
R: that's it
If you pronounce
Yakitori that way
It sounds like
You're a french chick
Eating
Yakitori
Ok so
What's the next song?
M: the next song
Is called
Do re mi
R: do re mi
So dore mi it is
Ok so
Shall we try to
Pronounce this
With a french flair
To it?
M: ok
R: for instance "do" goes "du"
M: du
R: du re mi
M: du re mi
R: for example you
Might try to
Sing it
Do re mi
M: du re mi
R: du re mi
M: du re mi
R: du re mi
M: do re mi
R: that's it
Ok so
The fourth
What's the fourth
Song?
It is...
M: the next song is... mmm...
Me japanese boy
R: me japanese boy
Yes it's
Me japanese boy
This in french
Would be something like
Moi garcon japonais
M: moi garcon japonais
R: that's it!
In french
There's a special way women talk
In french
Women go like
Really cute
"moi"
M: moi
R: exactly!
The mouth a little up
Wa! wa!
M: moi
R: you got it!
Moi garcon...
M: moi garcon...
R: there you go!
Garcon like in
Comme des garcons
Moi garcon japonais
M: moi garcon japonais
R: mademoiselle!
That was tres bien
Such a good student
M: thank you very much
R: i mean it!
Ok let's see the last song
The last song
What's it called?
M: let's be adult
R: classy title!
And in french you say
Sois sage (behave, act your age)
M: sois sage
R: sois sage
M: sois sage
R: soyez sage
M: sois sage
R: soyez, soyez
Soyez sage
Let's be adult
Sois sage
Let's be adult
This is
A french imperative
Get adult
Become an adult
That's the meaning
M: i see
R: mademoiselle nomiya
Are you an adult?
M: i suppose i am
R: yeah me too
So what do you think
About later...
